Dating myself \u2026
(BTW, carbon dating is not accurate beyond about 3,000 years, according to the guy who pioneered the concept, just saying) \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 but the greatest TV show of all time is\/was MTV\u2019s \u201cScarred.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sorry, but the suffering of others was the absolute height of amusement. And only because they did it to themselves. And why was it all young (horse)men?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rumor has it that the host, some rocker guy\/kid from some band, was on tour so the show went on hiatus until he got back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I call bullspit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many hosts on Family Feud? Jeopardy? Price is Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, granted \u2026 those are all game shows and the originals got all elderly and\/or dead. But still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Methinks that if a program is popular it will make money (\u00e1 la ad revenue) because folks are watching, and more eyeballs means more $$$. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just look at the Tubes of You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I remember in those dim, dark, dank days of the innernets when you could watch a video sans ads \u2026 now, not so much. Unless it\u2019s biblical. Then, yah. Capitalism wants little to do with that<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My theory? Spiritual wickedness in high places [Ephesians 6:12} did not like their younglings being mocked and ridiculed, and demanded the show be \u2026 hiatused into oblivion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And methinks that\u2019s what a lot of folks don\u2019t get \u2026 it ain\u2019t all about the Benjamins, but perception. What am I saying? Is there a point? Not really, just that \u201cScarred\u201d was excellent TV, true idiot box, and wish it would return. Kind of like the old Jackass, and Beavis \u2018n Butthead. Johnny Knoxville is a treasure. Who needs \u201cFriends\u201d? Or, heaven forfend, “Frasier”? Altho’ Lileth was peak in her time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dating myself \u2026(BTW, carbon dating is not accurate beyond about 3,000 years, according to the guy who pioneered the concept, just saying) \u2026 \u2026 but the greatest TV show of all time is\/was MTV\u2019s \u201cScarred.\u201d Sorry, but the suffering of others was the absolute height of amusement.

True classics. Mike Judge perfected American entertainment at its finest, highest levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
