this ain't no funky reggae party $5.00 at the door

I was thinking today...you know how we look back on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Saved by the Bell, ALF, and so on as some of the greatest shows of our childhood. Do you think kids that are growing up today will look back at Spongebob Squarepants and Drake & Josh and think that those shows are classics?

I'll admit, I've seen both of those shows, and they're not that bad...but for the most part, television today is crap. There is no TGIF where you can flip on NBC or whatever channel aired TGIF and watch Family Matters and Step by Step. Instead, Deal or No Deal and other mindless game shows and reality TV shows are on. No imagination. No creativity. I mean, if this rate keeps up, I can only imagine what will be next on television...we'll be watching home videos of when animals attack and...wait...you're serious? That's a television show? FUCK. We're more screwed than I originally thought.

One last comment and then I'm going to bed. Why has Wheel of Fortune been on the air so long? This show sucks. It has no academic value, the contestants are morons, Pat Sajak is a complete asshole half the time, and Vanna White is like 50. Give it a rest. The worst part is the puzzles are filled with off-the-wall adjectives and adverbs that make no sense. The clue will be "Person" and the puzzle will be some cockeyed excuse for an answer like "Very Funny Comedian." Here's a clue, Wheel of Fortune: you've run out of puzzles. To be honest, the show has always sucked, but I think we've all realized there are only so many times you can play hangman before you get bored with it. For Wheel, its retirement is long overdue.
