You Cannot Make This Shit Up.: Part III -- The Ghost of NBC
1) Sunday Night Football --
-- Al Micheals, John Madden and Andrea (Cue Cards) Kramer -- The biggest game of the entire NFL season and these three can't even pretend to care. Marvin Harrison is hurt? Rodney Harrison is hurt? First and goal or first and ten? The worst taunting call we've ever seen and no comment about its outrageousness? Why is the crowd quiet after a missed Pats field goal? Peyton Manning is "able to move his eyes and his feet at the same time?" Sorry to interrupt your naps but a few folks actually got excited about this one. Guess that's why there's a mute button.
-- The last time anyone over at NBC Sports answered any e-mails was 10/8/06.
---------------------------------------------
2) Exactly WHO is/are the Biggest Loser(s)? --
-- NBC's online store sells merchandise for "The Biggest Loser", which is a show where folks who are obese attempt to lose 100 pounds or more....And they sell sweatshirts.....And the biggest size they offer is "XXL." Might want to rethink that.
---------------------------------------------
3) Jay Leno --
---------------------------------------------
4) Why is this network trying to fuck over two of television's best shows? --
-- Can someone please tell us what day of the week "30 Rock" is on? As of right now, we think it's on Wednesday's at 8pm...but not every week, at least here in Portland. Tina Fey has a damn newborn at home, "presumably well cared for." If she's out of work, let her go home to breast-feed the thing, for christ sakes!
-- Rampant schadenfreude over the poor early ratings for Aaron Sorkin's outstanding "Studio 60" is kinda offputting. Regardless of how the media and peers feel about him, please judge the show by what's on the screen. Having seen what we thought was Kevin Smith's sweet "Jersey Girl" get flamed by just about every critic a few years back, Apartment404 hopes that the folks who make a living critiquing other's life work will do their readers the favor of shutting the fuck up about who is sleeping with who, who just got out of rehab, etc., and just tell us if the movie/book/tv show/etc is any goddamn good. Because in twenty years all that will matter is what's on the screen.
