To not be too closeminded, I had the misfortune of force-feeding myself an entire dose of the ipecac that is Blue Collar TV. I honestly wish that i could have those 30 minutes back in order to do something more productive and intellectual...I don't know, like read Go, Dog, Go! BC TV can't even be classified as sophomoric, or even elementary at that. The humor (or lack thereof) of the show is on such a low level that it makes Carrot Top look like Robin Williams (minus the sasquatch-like appearance).
Somehow, though, shows like this prevail, and the shows that actually spark neural impulses don't. One of which being the freshly cancelled Arrested Development...and this coming from a network with such gems as: "Nanny 911," and "Trading Spouses: Meet Your Daddy's New Lay."
However, the blame cannot be solely pasted onto the backs of the networks. I give them a great deal of credit for their ability to pedal multi-million dollar turds, so to speak, to the American public. Overwhelmingly, Americans savor that scent; the scent of dysfunction. Now, a mother can become engulfed in a world of childhood disorder while she allows little Jimmy to befriend the nearby outlet...an act seemingly less dysfunctional in comparison.
I just wish that people could merely outwit "no think" tv, but I ultimately understand that most of our cranial lightbulbs have long since burned out. Consequently, instead of airing quality progams, the networks will continue to regurgitate shows that Git-R-Dumb...
