Short List: 5 TV Shows I Just Don’t Get

It confounds me that these shows are not only still on the air, but popular.

1. Heroes

It’s just a crappy ripoff of the X-Men! Doesn’t anyone else see that?

2. 24

Terrorism is boring. And so is this show.

3. Grey’s Anatomy

Blah blah, love, blah blah, medical jargon. I don’t know how this show is supposed to be different from ER, which always had love plots and soap opera type situations.

4. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)

Grown men beating the crap out of each other using any methods necessary? I could see that for free any Saturday night at my local taberna.

5. The Biggest Loser

I’m glad whenever an obese person decides to get healthy, but do I have to watch the whole sweaty process? Gross.

    I think you’re referring to “The Moment of Truth.” Yeah, that’s a piece of crap show too, it doesn’t make any sense at all. It seems like you would just be incredibly honest or there’d be no point, unless it’s based on the fact that lie detectors are wrong sometimes, in which case it’s even worse and not fair at all.

    What’s that one show where they expose all your secrets for money? I don’t understand that show.

    “Did you cheat on your husband?”

    You know whether or not you did, do if you say no and you did, you know you’ll lose the show. If you say “pass,” your husband will suspect something (i.e. why would you end your run on the show if you could have won that question?)If you say yes, then your husband is pissed, and you win a lot of money. But you knew that would happen anyway, didn’t you?
