Do you ever notice how some things just aren’t good anymore? I used to watch this program called Attack of the Show (formerly The Screen Savers) and I admit I enjoyed the quirky techie news. I enjoyed looking at Sarah Lane and hearing her *speed read* through the latest headlines. But Kevin Rose left. And I’m not saying he was the glue that held the show together, the very pillar everyone else depended on…but I am saying the show is now missing something. I tune in now and it just seems sort of lame. I tuned in tonight and there was a large dude cohosting with “the other Kevin,” and he occasionally nodded and did the whole “uh-huh” thing; basically like he didn’t know what was going on. And I guess they were going to show some video feed, but due to some technical difficulties, it didn’t play. What’s up with that, guys? Aside from Sarah Lane looking so hot, I just don’t have the desire to tune in anymore.
The same goes for Saturday Night Live. I mean, come on! It once was a great time passer and a hoot to watch. There are some classic sketches that will forever be remembered (Schmidts Gay, Chippendales’, the Motivational Speaker, etc.) and there were some greats that emerged as comic stars. But now, it just isn’t funny. Is it possible that they ran out of jokes? Whatever the reason, the show just ain’t good no more. And don’t even get me started on ER…
One by one, the original cast members have moved on to bigger and better things; the most recent is Noah Wyle, the last original cast member. I’ve heard rumors of Sherry Stringfield (an original member who left for a while) thinking about leaving County General as well. Pretty soon, that show may lose a little something too.
Basically, people leave. Move on to other things. And when the cool people leave, whatever they are leaving loses the coolness factor. Which is yet another reason the move from UBOC is good. All the cool people are leaving. I’m cool, so I must go where the party is. :) I don’t know…just thought that was a funny social observation as I sit here bored out of my mind watching t.v. Ooooh, Monk is coming on. I’ll check that one. :)
So what’s that say about me… I’m still at the bank. I guess I’m just not cool anymore:( Ohh well, I guess I’m starting to look around so maybe I just like to hold on to things a little longer; after all, I did work DPS for 5 years!
Dude, you’ll always be cool. Especially if you’re sitting in the middle of the Arctic on a block of ice. Naked.
Besides, Maury Tierney is still on ER…so that makes it worth watching. Goes to show that there are cool people who stick around as well.
