Dear Lifetime -

 

Normally, I take you with a pillar of salt, but I must say, after seeing a preview for "big women, big love,"....really? Seriously? Are you not clued in, in 2014, that people of all sizes date? I don't see what kind of weird, voyeuristic urge I'm supposed to scratch as a viewer by watching (OMG!) "heavy" women date. Get over it - most of the modern world has.

 

Now get back to making the cheeseball movies I hate to admit watching, please.

The "Annie" remake looks like a dud. Just from the trailers, it seems that all the charm of the Broadway show has been removed and replaced with a lot of stuff that's going to make it look more dated than it was when it was set during The Great Depression. In 20 years, Twitter will probably be obsolete so it won't be so impressive that Annie is on it.

The campy medieval musical limited series Galavant did something unusual last night: During the hour it aired, all the ads for other ABC shows had new soundtracks sung to the title song of Galavant. It wasn't done all that brilliantly (many of the lyrics were a stretch), but it was unusual enough that I'll be looking out to see if they do it for the remaining 3 Sundays that it airs.

I swear to god (well, not really, seeing as I'm a non-theist), Friday (the 23rd) and the premiere of King Of The Nerds on TBS cannot get here fast enough for me.  

 

I haven't the slightest interest in the show, but TBS has been running two, sometimes three ads during each commercial break for the past three weeks (I watch online rather than via TV most of the time), and this madness must stop.  The fucking promos (and that dumbass rap done by Lewis and Booger from Revenge of the Nerds, along with micro-interviews with some of the contestants) absolutely ruin TBBT and Seinfeld.  

 

It's gotten to the point that I'm ready to throw my computer out the window to put an end to it.  

OK, I haven't watched Jane the Virgin (the whole idea just sounds stupid), but I can understand that it might be good enough to win Golden Globes awards.  But please, Show, please, find other things to use as a hook in your advertisements besides "But I've never had sex!"  I get it.  I got it in the weeks and months leading up to when the show was about to air.  And I still get it in the weeks and months after the show has been airing.

If I have see another Backstrom commercial, I'm going Elvis on my TV.

 

For a moment there I thought you said "I'm going to give Elvis my TV" and had a short-lived fantasy about your having two-way access to a portal to an alternate universe where misbehaving electronics get exchanged. Then I realized that I'd been working too long (stimulants, beer and looming software release deadlines == bad) and decided to step away from the laptop. Thanks!

I just saw a commercial for Backstrom that includes this little nugget..

 

"I'm a fan of Bones and I think this, similarly, is gonna appeal to more intelligent people like myself."

 

So lets break this down, you just went on TV being asked to review a pilot you just saw in a movie theater, portraying yourself as a real person rather than an actor, and just proclaimed your intelligence.

 

As evidence of that intelligence, you used the fact that you watch BonesBones, where they've been known to do an entire episode where the dead victim is seriously considered, as one of the theories of the crime, to be some kind of chicken man super soldier.  Now I'm not saying that people that watch Bones are stupid.  I used to watch it and I've seen scathing and insightful reviews of some episodes that tell me that isn't true.  Some (most?) people just watch TV for the escape or entertainment and don't require that everything they watch be intellectually stimulating.  But you weren't saying that.  You appear to find Bones to be proof of your intelligence.  Let me guess, you probably figured out the government wouldn't choose a chicken to make a super solider before Booth and Brennan did.

 

And really 'gonna' in the same breath as pointing out how intelligent you are. There are times where you don't make a reduction.
