The Worst Week of TV history

Attention Directors of Programming: I am your target audience.... Listen to me!

Vince Lombardi said it best. "What the hell's going on here?"

The programming executive at ABC should be fired. I hate to speak poorly of members of the Disney family, but this is crazy. One of my 3 favorite shows has been dealt a sour hand. Boston Legal has had the rest of it's first season "postponed" and will not return until September. That's right, September. Apparently, Grey's Anatomy was supposed to debut in it's time slot, gather a following and move to another time slot, but it is doing so well, the decided to push BL off. It amazes me that with all the garbage they broadcast on the other 6 nights of the week , they couldn't have found a home for BL. This decision sickens me. They will put Dennis Miller on Monday Night football, but won't let BL finish a season. Not to mention The Bachelor, and the other mind-numbing B.S. that fills the colon of primetime TV.

At least Desparate Housewives is back on with new episodes regularly again. Sunday night used to be the feather in ABC's cap. Extreme Makeover Home Edition, DH, then BL. You couldn't beat that. I like Grey's anatomy, but I can't help but sit there and think to myself... "I really don't care what happens". At least Alan Shore was ALWAYS good for witty dialog, the reason I even started watching the damn show in the first place. Look, I have regressed to Boston Legal again.... bastards!

Another poor decision is Dr. Camerons apparent decision to leave House's staff. This simply will not do. I don't mind the tension brought in by adding Vogler to the mix. I like Chi McBride, and I hope that he doesn't 86 this show like he did Boston Public. But, I really like Cameron. I like the subtlty the Hugh Laurie uses to express his feelings for her. I think she really needs to be there when they add Sela Ward as House's ex (supposedly, this will explain his bitterness. I guess he got sick with the leg and she ditched him. If so, ouch). Cameron being in the mix would add a nice element of jealousy on her part and House would get to be torn, what a wonderful sub-plot.
Let's hope the FOX people are not as daft as ABC's.

Speaking of FOX, American Idol's 4th season started off promising, but has turned into another snore-fest. My personal favorite, Bo Bice, lost my backing last night when he was quite indifferent to his inclusion in the bottom 3. As if he didn't care. And as every year, one person has continued to make it through to the next round dispite clearly being a sub-par perfromer. Last year it was the red head John Stevens, this year it is Anthony Federov. Aside from putting on what seems to be 20 pounds in recent weeks, he has not sung a song that I haven't TIVO'd through in a month. It is time America turned him loose. Not to mention that I suspect that Paula is drunk every week during the show. At least I hope she is...
