The Outdoor Network, currently showing the Tour de France, will be showing all of the episodes of Survivor. (barf)
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Even the most stable brain operates just a millimeter from madness.
The week after next, The Inside is replaced with "So You Think You Can Dance?"
I just told boardmember Nicklas, on ICQ, how I felt about this, using a not very kid-friendly expression (depending on kid, of course).
But. Is there any chanse this might lead to something that might be a positive for our show here? Next week is a 2-hour premiere, from 8pm to 10pm. So, if it's one hour the following week, and it becomes the lead-in to TI, then that could mean Something Good in the end. Right? Right?
Right..?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I hope that's what happens. I hope they don't pull it, put "When Dancers Attack Writers" on at 8, and The Inside on at 9, and let it run.
I think that was the original plan, anyway.

Kid may vary indeed. We talked like that at the dinnertable when I grew up.
If they stick to the original plan, I' can live with that. If not and this actually replaces the Inside, then I'm 'napalm enema' on the furious-o-meter.

I think they're currently working on a reality show where C List celebrities try to ice skate.

Which, of course, makes the hurt of TI losing out to such a show much worse.
I'm feeling sad tonight.

You can always go stupider: C list celebrities perform gymnastics in colourful tights. You know, the running around on a floor with a boll and some strings in rhythm to the music.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It doesn't matter what dumb reality based crap we come up with. Fox is going to come up with something much, much worse for a replacement. It's as inevitable as the fucking tide.
We try to think up something as idiotic as possible when in truth, there are guys PITCHING this stuff and BELIEVING it's going to make them money. *shudder*
I should just stick to reading books this summer--if I can ever pay those stupid library late fees.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The pendulum will swing back from this stuff. There have always been vulgar "reality" shows on TV. Incredibly popular on radio and then on TV (It had the highest advertising rates on TV for a while) was "Queen for a Day" where women competed with each other by telling their hard luck stories and trying to be most pathetic. The audience voted which had the saddest story and the woman won a washing machine. In the '70s, The Newlywed Game, That's Incredible and the Gong Show were all primetime hits. People will get sick of this shit--they always do.
