Ahh,
there are things in this life that can be said for many things, and I do not
think late-night infomercials is one of them…
Well, consider a weatherman who had
been trying to warn people of a devastating tornado, and then people start
a-tweetin’ to complain about the fact that his report had interrupted The Bachelorette; And yes, he loses it.
Now really, folks, there are certain things in this life that are more
important than a half-brained reality show about dating or something. Hey, if
it would make them happy, then maybe the weatherman should be the bachelor for
the ladies, right?!
Now listen, trying to find out how
serious the weather is going to be is much more important than a person singing
off-key; But then again, does any weatherman’s mother-in-law try to sing
off-key?! I mean, think about this for a minute-Say a tornado’s coming, but you
are just too busy watching America’s Got
Talent, what would you do? Well, don’t call Howie Mandell to complain,
that’s for sure? And what is with all those people being upset about their
favorite show being interrupted for something that is otherwise very important
that they tweet about it? Well unfortunately, so has President Donald Trump.
Now, back when I was living in
Philadelphia, PA before I moved to Dover, DE, I used to get upset over the fact
that a daytime show would get interrupted/preempted by any breaking news story
that news people break, yet one would have seen viewers wanting to break
television sets over those things. You see, people like you and me should not
ever be upset over our favorite TV show that otherwise rots our brains anyway
being interrupted by a breaking news story, and you want to know something
else? That next breaking news story could be very important, so may I suggest
that you keep those half-brained comments about Keeping Up With The Kardashians being interrupted by a breaking
news story to yourself.
I have a
grave confession to make; I really, really, really not to fond of a certain TV
show, and I am not talking about those wacky reality shows, and I am certainly
not ever going to talk about them now! The TV show that all that interested in
is called Doctor Who, and to tell you
the honest truth, I do not like that show at all: It is just a wonky program
about some weirdo British gentleman who rides around in a blue elevator
saving…Something. Look, up in the sky: IT’S A BIRD! IT’S A PLANE! IT’S…SUPER
BRIT! Yes, Super Brit, weirdo defender of the universe, flying out of the sky
to protect those who have been smoking those vapes, or something…
In case any of you have missed as
well as those who have not heard of the story the first time, let me tell you a
little story: It was the Saturday before Easter Sunday of 2017, and I was
enjoying the most tastiest Easter candy; And then, it happened: At first, I
thought that my first cousin had planned to watch Lawrence Welk, but nope:
Instead, he blurted out his love for that stinkin’ sci-fi show that ain’t as
American as apple pie, stating that he cannot wait to see the brand-new season
(or series, as them Brits call it) of that show. Unfortunately, my first
cousin’s little word action had almost caused me to nearly lose my appetite for
that Easter candy that I had been enjoying; It would take me a (very) short
while before I am finally back to savoring the Easter candy once more…
As most of you may or may not have
known, I had a blog that had been hosted by WordPress called “KALEIDOSCOPE”; I
had closed down my blog back in June of 2019. Now, two years before, while my
blog was still in operation, I would use each post that I write and publish, containing
parodies of that whacko British show, to secretly try and get my cousins to
watch something sensible than that stupid show, something sensible
like…Lawrence Welk. Alas, I have tried to do these things to no avail. As of
this very writing, my cousins are still hooked on that British martian that
they call Time Lords…Hey, if I wanted to see a stinkin’ Time Lord, I would have
to check out those Timex commercials with John Cameron Swayze! Now THAT’s a
TIME Lord! Yuk, yuk, yuk!
