Pawn Stars must be stopped.

I haven't watched this show for years but recent baby time has reacquainted me with it.

oMG! It has gone too fucking far. A game show? Single blade razor commercials?

Please god, let these ugly, ignorant people shoot their wad and fade into the recesses of my mind - perhaps somewhere behind "Mad About You". And please make it soon.

I find it particularly grating that these buffoons are paraded a constant stream of things that they know nothing about until they have a producer google it and make them an instant expert. Top on my list of annoyance is the ass-hat that calls himself Big Hoss. I... I... don't even know what to say except that he seems to be the most prideful and conceited of this group of poor share-croppers. Save your money Big Hoss. You're going to need it.

Aye, too much TV time to be sure. But it's winter. And all the new shows are starting. I try not to watch crap... Or at least try to chalk it up to monitoring the culture rather than actually watching. I picture myself in an ivory tower looking down on the commoners. I am shaking my head sadly in between dry-heaves.

Oh, also, I am kind of a closet tv critic. There's actually where I watch it from, the closet of my derelict 1969 Airstream.

But if you want some TV worth watching, check out "Geneology Roadshow" on PBS. Fascinating. Good history too. Brilliant rebranding; 40% more Mormons.

They do genetic and historical research into three or four people in various cities. Apparently the genetic mapping has had some marketable breakthroughs for us rubes.

I wish I could have been there on the day that the Pawn Star pube-chinned child told all his friends to call him "Big Hoss". Oh how I would have loved that.

Funny how society crafts the means of its own destruction sometimes. Mostly when you read about it in the past. But it makes for interesting news - if somebody got it on video.
Yes it's like watching the Fall of the Roman Empire in slow mo and not being able to get out of the way.

Yeah my problem is I mostly use my TV for Pandora and artsy fartsy shows :) I LOVE watching gardening, woodworking (would someone come help me setup my fucking jointer, planer and Bandsaw), and crafting and well you get the picture. But what I need to do to is invite @Growan for about 6 weeks so he and his 'kids' could nosh down on some of my excess baggage.
