You still watch too much damn TV.

Youse guys watch WAAAAAAY too much TV…

Do I? Let’s have a look at my weekly viewing schedule:

Family Guy – 0.5 hours
American Dad – 0.5 hours
The Daily Show – 2.0 hours
Surface – 1.0 hours
My Name is Earl – 0.5 hours
Lost – 1.0 hours
Invasion – 1.0 hours
Threshold – 1.0 hours
Crappy Sci-Fi movie – 2.0 hours
Total – 9.5 hours

Now, most (if not all) of that is recorded by the TiVo and watched at a later time. I also fast-forward through 90% of the commercials, which brings a 60 minute program down to about 40-42 minutes (last I checked) and a 30 minute program down to about 23 minutes.

If we’re conservative and say that 20% of a given time slot is commercials, and I skip 90% of commercials, then I’m spending 82% of that 9.5 hours (7.79 hours) a week watching the boob tube.

“Unfortunately, her character on General Hospital is not all that complex, so her acting skills (even for a soap opera) are substandard- gee, just like her dancing).”

If her acting/dancing skills are so sub-par, what idiot chose her as a candidate?

KJWon and I used to watch “As the Stomach Churns” and “The Young and the Ruthless” with Grandma back in the day. I’ll tell you acting on a soap (even if you can act) does not automatically garnish a popular vote. The best part of watching was listening to Grandma give her ‘favorite’ actors hell.

I don’t know how the rematch ended. Perhaps you can feel appropriately avenged for all your indgnities having watched her win the original series, for it sounds like your boy trounced Kelly in round one.

Maybe it was just a play for ratings. A conspiracy of sorts…. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Unfortunately, her character on General Hospital is not all that complex, so her acting skills (even for a soap opera) are substandard- gee, just like her dancing).

I’m almost not at all surprised that you are familiar with the character. Do you actually watch soaps at work, or what?

I can’t believe how crass my brothers are….really I can’t…oh wait, yes I can, and now I know where I must get it from…

When it comes to visuals, Kelly Monaco has it cold. If she can dance, so much the better. Since the audience pulled her from elimination during the series, either there’s something you missed or the general audience did not appreciate the additional layers of complexity.

I think the key word there is “general.” As in “hospital.” Never underestimate the power of soap opera fans.

Hmmm; are you saying you want to get horizontal with John O’Hurley? Bang him like a screen door? Guess that would be a different kind of ‘ball room’ dancing…

Not at all, but I certainly know a comely chap when I see one.

I can’t believe I went there.

Bring me back a t-shirt.
