bad tv

Is it me, or is Ellen just getting to be another bad tv show? First she changes the show so it is "more about her audience" and that, my friend, is just plain bullshit.

What's in it for me? Here I am, sitting on the edge of my bed (cause the channel on which Ellen airs doesn't come in as well on our living room tv), eating my ramen noodles, and she has a talking potato chip rambling on or singing about something. What is this piece of shit show that I am watching? Surely not the Ellen I know....

I sit and watch Ellen on the days that I am home early enough, which is not very often. So when I tune in, I like to see a cute actor or two, or at least someone with human qualities. Mainly I watch Ellen because I enjoy her stand-up comedian act and her oh-so-lovable-freakish-cute dancing in the beginning, but also for the famous people. I want more famous people, dammit!!

I do not want human-like potato grease staring me in the face while I eat my after school snack.

Bottom line is I cannot sit here and watch singing potato chips and even more lame audience members be the focus of her show when there is perfectly good Oprah on another station.

Ellen, I am this close to leaving you for Oprah, I do hope you know that.
