Now…That’s Entertainment!!!!!

Isn’t it weird that the more channels you can receive on your television, there’s less worth watching?

I channel surf a lot. A whole lot. I can’t ever find a show that really keeps my interest for more than 5 minutes. Now, that the writer’s strike is over, I may be able to keep my hand off the remote long enough to take in a whole episode of something.

I’ve become pretty addicted to reality shows. Not all of them. Rock of Love, that Brady crap, all the model shows, and some that I can’t even remember the name of are just plain stupid. Who really gives a rat’s ass whether Peter Brady or Chachi knock their wives/lovers up and become dads. And, the skanks wooing Brett Michael make my skin itch and I feel like I’m in need of a shower plus an antibiotic ointment after 60 seconds of watching. I, also, don’t give a damn who loses the most weight, who gets a make-over, or who wants to make an ass out of themselves for money by taking a lie detector test.

I must admit, though, that I did like Bonaduce’s show. Raw stuff that was pretty believable about Danny Partridge.

Shamefully, I’ll admit that I use to like Springer. That was before he ran out of white trash originals. Nowadays, he has resorted to legless men, a clown on stilts, and a drunk (or high) preacher character to provide entertainment. Jerry, I loved ya man when your show was half-way believable but these stunts have the appearance of somebody trying too hard. Maybe, it’s time to totally turn over the reigns to Steve Wilko.

Channel surfing a few days ago, I came across a show that had me rolling with laughter. And, this one is believable because I know people like this.

It’s CMT’s My Big Redneck Wedding hosted by Tom Arnold.

The following is a clip of John and Gail’s wedding. Not only do the vows have me almost crying, the granny is hysterical in her own right.

Even funnier than these vows was when the bride couldn’t find her teeth on the wedding day. Another great minute was when her wedding dress that she ordered off the internet arrived. She ordered a size 28 and it came in a size 8. John is seen trying to stuff her in it and zip it up. Her bra is showing and it is dingy. Seriously, dingy.

On the other hand, this could be considered an educational show. I didn’t know until John/Gail that there were rednecks on the coast of Maine.

If you need a stress release…..watch this show.

Just a quick note……My neighbor’s daughter was getting married and her dad was a total mess. Really emotional. So, the day before the wedding, he decided to do some yard work to release stress. He dug holes all day and planted bushes. It was in the 90’s. At lunchtime, he drank an entire gallon of lemonade trying to cool off. All that lemonade made him sick to his stomach and he ran to the bathroom. The poor guy actually puked his false teeth out and was so sick he didn’t realize it until….he flushed the commode.

He walked his daughter down the aisle without a smile on his face. He didn’t want a toothless grin to show up in her wedding pictures.
