Blogger Idol

Enough with the fucking singing shows! American and Canadian Idol, Rock Star INXS and Supernova, The One, The 666 ... ok, I made that last one up, but you know what I mean. I won't lie to you - I was guilty of watching Rock Star last year and American Idol this year, but the fact still remains that TV needs some NEW ideas. I know repetition sells, but enough is enough. Can't we have Canada's Next Top Librarian? Library Idol? Library Survivor? So You Think You Can Dance in the Library? The Bachelorette Guelph? (No I don't live in Guelph, I just thought it sounded better than The Bachelorette: Mid Sized Canadian City). And because George Stroumbolopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopopoulous obviously has enough time off from The Hour to host The One, maybe he'll have time to host this one too, seeing as how he is a hottie. Failing that, I guess we could get Nancy Pearl to host it. Or maybe would could just have a show where every week George kicks the shit out of Ben Mulroney, Ryan Seacrest, Jeff Probst, and any other pansy-assed hosts who want to take him on. Now that I'd pay to see.

You may be wondering why I have chosen to ramble on about this NOW as opposed to a few years ago when all the shows started, but first of all I didn't have a blog two years ago, and secondly now it has become personal. You see, I was all ready to watch my weekly Lost re-run at 10pm when I discovered, in abject horror, that one of the singing shows was on instead. I have to draw the line somewhere, and when it comes to replacing what could be the best show on TV right now with a singing show, I doth protest too much. This better not be a sign of things to come, because as cute as George is, he does not make up for an episode of Lost. Ooh, maybe in the finale of "Who Wants to Get Shit-Kicked By George" George can get shit-kicked by Jack, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurly and John. The winner gets to share Charlie's heroin stash and sleep with Kate. Again, quality entertainment. I think I'm in the wrong line of work - I should be a studio executive instead of a librarian. It wouldn't be about the money, but more how I would be fulfilled as a person and feel like I was doing my part to help make the world a better place.
