I get the occasional question about what I like to watch on TV.

And it’s always the stock answer:&#160 “Sports, primarily football & hockey, the occasional Star Trek re-run, stuff like that”.

Between the phenomonon of so-called “reality tv” and the abject bullshit they’re trotting out there as episodic television now, it’ll stay that way, too.

NBC’s popular prime-time program “Medium” shocked viewers last night as the main male character asks his wife if she’s searching for a “thicker, longer penis.”

The exchange came 19 minutes into yesterday’s show as the married couple – played by Patricia Arquette and Jake Weber – talked in their bedroom, a typical setting for the two characters in the program.

During last night’s episode, entitled “I Married a Mind Reader,” Joe Dubois walks into the bedroom late at night as his wife, Allison, a medium who helps law enforcement solve crimes, is sitting at a computer.

Joe: Whatcha lookin’ for at this hour of the night? Drugs from Canada? A fast and convenient way out of credit card debt? A thicker, longer penis?

Allison: Oh! (she chuckles)

Allison is searching for information on the Internet about an actor in an old TV program about whom she had had a dream. The penis comment was not relevant to the plot of the show.

And the crap they’re putting out nowadays is not relavant to my life, which is why I don’t watch it.&#160 And then the suits at the three major networks – oh, okay, we’ll count NBC, too – wring their hands in angst and wonder why they’re losing viewership.

Go read the rest.&#160 I have to go resist the urge to gag…

3 responses to “TV or not TV (with apologies to Bill Shakespeare)?”

  1. I haven’t turned a television on in over 5 years.

    Don’t miss it one bit.

    Listening to sports on the radio is MUCH better, anyway.

    That comment was obviously a crack at “male enhancement” internet spam.

    Just another lame and cheap attempt at “shock value”.

    It makes the vapid drooling masses giggle and squeal “Oooooh! he said penis on TV! Now that’s cutting edge television!”

    Gives the teenagers who watch that dreck something to gossip about……

  3. Elephant Man says:

    Joe: Whatcha lookin’ for at this hour of the night? Drugs from Canada? A fast and convenient way out of credit card debt? A thicker, longer penis?

    Let’s see…

    Spats posts a quote concerning a search for:

    1) Drugs

    2) A way out of credit card debt

    3) A thicker, longer penis

    and look who shows up, the Pickle Suit wearing Sandwich Monkey himself, Dum Yeah.

    Coincidence? I think not…. *guffaw*
