What's sadder then a has-been actor begging for work? A has-been actor begging for work with a busted ass picture of himself smoking a cigarette.Summer is ending and so are the fun reality shows. I've had three this past summer that have made the summer better. Because the repeat value on two of them is non existent, and the third is just sad, I'm not going to give them proper reviews or recaps. I'm just going to tell you what you missed.
#1 Wipeout
Not sure if any of you have had the chance to watch this show, and they are rerunning it and giving it another season, you can still catch it. I'm not a fan of broken bones, as you may know, see post below, and the idea that someone may seriously hurt themselves had me doubting I'd like this show. But boy is it fun. Watching people fall on their face (and not get hurt) is really hilarious. I thought I just liked it on America's Funniest Home Videos, but I tell ya, it's more funny when the person is falling into mud or off a giant bouncy ball. If you have a chance to catch it, which includes funny commentary, please do. It's worth a good Tivo hour (42 minutes).
#2 The Two Coreys
Okay, don't judge me. I said don't judge me. I'm addicted to this show. Maybe after this season of poor Corey Haim's drug filled slurring I shouldn't use the word "addicted" but that's how it is. It's like my Sunday night crack. I'm a child of the 80s and I'd say 90% of all (straight) women who grew up in the 80s fell in love with Corey Haim. There are some boys out there too, I just know it. Anyway, Corey Feldman always sorta annoyed me. He seemed to want to be (with) Michael Jackson a little too much, but, I can't believe I'm saying this, in the show, he's the most normal one of the two. In fact, he's oddly attractive and inspiring. If I knew a crazy speedballing heroine addict, I would totally use Feldman as an example. And poor Corey Haim, really? Really? You know something's wrong with you if you can't even do one scene in the direct to DVD Lost Boys 2 (so sad) without taking something to get you through it. I can't get enough of it though. Those crazy Coreys.
#3 The Greatest American Dog
I know. I know. I don't even like dogs. I mean, I like them enough, but these people really like their dogs. At first I thought the show was sorta making fun of them, and the only reason I watched is because of hot dog owner Travis, but then the show started to grow on me. These dogs are really cute, and as annoying as their owners can be, it's kinda cool to watch the dogs do some cool tricks. Plus, besides Travis, there are some really sweet dog owners that you're pulling for to win the thing.
As you can tell, my foray into trashy TV didn't stop with a broken wrist, in fact, if anything, because going to the gym has not be in the cards for awhile, I've had a lot of time to futz around at night, dying for something to entertain me. Am I entertained? Damn right I am. Travis, call me.
