heres to stupid advertising, like the drivel that Fox continuously berades us with for its series...
Like many, i find That 70's Show simply hilarious, but i dont care enough to watch it every week, but when i catch one, hey alright this shits funny, and how bout when Mitch Hedberg used to have a small role on it, yeah MITCH! anyway it is set in Wisconsin, who cares right, thats just another place in the world, the whole world's pretty good in my book...
But this fall, FOX's marketing machine decided, hey how about Wisconsin Wednesdays, how about that? thats genious right? with the two words starting with doubleyous right after one another...So the new Norm MacDonald project: A Minute with Stan Hooper is also set in Wisconsin and will air after 'that's so seventies.' I was ecstatic to hear of a new show with Norm, he's one of the funniest humans alive, but if the commercials are any indication, then this show will suck...i have total faith in Norm, but the commercials make this show look like a Wisconsin characterature full of cheese jokes...o man cheese is from wisconsin, i just got it..and its still not funny.
I just hope that they didnt compromise Norm's talent for what they hope will be a safe predictable sitcom, i can see the network guys now: (doodledoodle doo wavy flashback effect):
"hey guys you know 'that's the 1970's' is set in Wisconsin.. and its so successful, despite the fact we rarely take advantage of all the obvious cheese jokes, we could probably make a new show and take advantage of all that Good-a material. (snickers) gouda, see what im saying...and get this, we air it on Wednesday after 'I wish it was the 70's' and market it with an alliteration...who wouldnt watch that. now all we need is a star... who's out of work right now, is hilarious, who's last project was amazing but unappreciated....i've got it...Norm Macdonald, and he has talent we can ignore which is always a bonus."(doodle doodle doo wavy effect)
One of the finest feathers in Fox's cap is their smash summer hit, The OC, which returns for a fall season soon...well Fox has been advertising the shit out of the return of this newest pretty-person teen drama. I only saw two episodes of the show during the summer but i saw the summer finale where Marissa takes pills and drinks herself unconscious, and collapses in Mexico in a dirty alley and is found later by her firends, and the show ends in dramatic fashion with her laying limp in Ryans arms as the crane cam about his head rises upward...Is she dead? would they really kill off a promising young lead role in the first summer replacement teaser season?...
well of course not, but any shred of doubt you might have had about her survival is washed away after seeing Fox's new commercials...Marissa is in the new commercials, walking around, a vibrant fully functional character, who's relationship with Ryan will be stretched for as long as ratings allow....
this is common with fox, i'm not going to pretend that i have any self respect, yes its true that i watched Paradise Hotel, religiously at first, during my summer class when i was living alone with Smitty...and then i lost track of the show for awhile but had to come back to see the biggest twist, the way the summer in paradise was to end....Well on this, a show where people are voted off each week, the cliffhanger endings are given away when halfway through the episode, Fox advertises for next week and the clips feature characters that you know can't be eliminated if they are still there next week, you stupid Fox, i could run your whole job standing on my head.
and i dont want to get into it, because i'm not a fansite, and i taped it for Smitty and i cant give away the ending, but the ending to Paradise Hotel sucked, anticlimatic garbage.
if you hadn't noticed i like to overdo it when it comes to pictures of me and famous folks..deal with it, rock and roll
