Buck Rogers!?!
Ok on the right side of Blinkinblogs is a ad space. This morning I showed up to see what my compadres might have posted and noticed the ad showing was for Buck Rogers - not to be confused with Duck Dodgers of the 24th and a half century! Apparently you can watch all the episodes at NBC! Needless to say I took a quick gander at what they had to offer.
Get this shiz. Apparently Buck Rogers has 122 episodes - more than the original Star Trek! One episode has Gary Coleman in it - the little Kid from Different Strokes! And let us not forget the only reason to really watch the show - Erin Grey in the tightest pants ever made. Seriously, you would have to go some 500 years into the future to find a material that tight. You can read the fine print on a penny in her back pocket through those pants. They are so tight that there is nothing left to guessing when it comes to her personal care of her nether regions. Needless to say as a kid I loved it.
Check it out! You will not be disappointed. Beedee Beedee Beedee - Whats up Buck?!?

They tried so hard to equalize the craziness between the two parties, but that was an insurmountable challenge even to The Daily Show.

Hybrid Nonsense
Don’t get me wrong, I am a dog lover. I was raised around dogs, because, well, my parents raised them. We had Great Danes when I was a kid - I considered them an over sized dog or an under sized horse. Either way they were neat. The general theories on dogs is that Pure Breds are expensive because they are “pure of blood”, aka they only have their original bloodline in them. Tragically this typically makes for serious inbreeding - resulting in weak stock. Mutts on the other hand were dogs as nature intended - two horny dogs get together and viola! Puppies! Hardy, loads of em, and Cheap!
Now America is on the leading edge of the Hybrid Dog thing. Basically it is the controlled method of making Mutts. I can’t make this shit up. Jack Russel got ripped a new one for “creating” the Jack Russel Terrier, which has recently been renamed the Parson Russel Terrier so that the AFKFCDOGHUMPERS, or whoever the hell they are, would recognize them as an actual breed. Think that through. This dude Jack Russel and his cohort Parson Whiner bred the crap out of some dogs to get a new hybrid dog, which they called a pure breed and now force Jack Russel owners to breed them only with other Parson Russel Terriers. Confusing to say the least. Did I fail to mention I have one? Manic, napoleanic, little man syndrome angry sonofabitch. Love that little guy.
Nope we Americans couldn’t stop there. We chastised the hell out of Jack Russel. Then someone realized that if you made “hybrids” you could give them snazzy names and charge loads of money. Some of these new Hybrids are costing upwards around $2k! So what sort of names? My favorite is this little diddy: Cocker Spaniel x English Cocker Spaniel = Colonial Cocker Spaniel. Could we get an sillier?

Pretty People, Ugly Careers
We currently have an interesting contrast happening on network television. I thought about this as I watched the last fifteen minutes or so of “Private Practice” last night. That “sexy” soap opera masquerading as a “medical drama” is a perfect example of what turns me off of these types of shows. Namely, there is not one unattractive person in the main cast. The main character, Kate Walsh, is one of the prettiest 40+ year-old actresses on television. She looks like she spends an hour a day on her makeup, and has never worked a 12-hour shift in her life. Take a look at the cast picture above, and tell me if you’ll ever see a doctor’s staff meeting with that much pulsing sexuality. Dammit, look at them throb!
If course this all goes back to “Grey’s Anatomy”, which I actually gave a chance back during the first season. All I heard was how it was not a typical “ER” doctor show, and how it was more about the doctors and their lives. I think I even heard a murmur of “realism”. No, it still has the .0001% freak-show patients, unrealistic dialogue and the manufactured drama that REAL doctors would avoid like a strep-throated leper. OK, I understand the monotony and bureaucracy than runs rampant in real medical professions would not make riveting television. However, does everyone have to be so pretty? McDreamy, McSteamy, Pompeo and Heigl - they should all be awoken at 4am then forced to stand up for 10 hours straight before filming. At least the guys don’t shave, so there’s that. Also, Sandra Oh looks like she wasn’t baked long enough, so she’s a plus. For all the “Scrubs” hate that circulates the web, at least the cast was realistic - when the cute but awkward Sarah Chalke is your ringer, you are more realistic than most.
I call this trend “Pretty People, Ugly Careers”, and it is rampant in other television dramas. It is a major reason I do not watch network television. “Bones” is a veritable meat-market - do you really think those forensics dweebs would look that good? No, they would be the freaks who were first ostracized in high school and had to turn to either video games or corpses for love (believe me, I know). Furthermore, check out all the popular “police procedural porn” shows and their primary casts - “CSI“, “CSI: Miami“, “NCIS“, “The Mentalist“, etc. If you can’t get lost in Simon Baker’s eyes, then you are soulless automaton. All these shows follow a clear pattern: handsome main character, surrounded by:a) hot women, b) scruffy older men, and/or c) cute or handsome young hunks. Also, where’s the beef? 60% of all Americans are supposedly obese, yet you wouldn’t know it from watching scripted television. Based on averages, every single skinny person must be in Hollywood. Something is rotten here, my friends.
So let’s get back to how these shows contrast with popular reality shows. I’m not sure how someone can go from watching “Private Practice” to “Hole in the Wall” or, even worse, the basic cable trash bins like “Rock of Love”. What do you watch in between to cleanse your palette - “The Daily Show”? The mind’s ability to shift gears from something so unreal to something realistic is amazing. I would really like to see some brainwave analysis performed on a tight focus group. However, I wouldn’t be a good test subject - all I watch regularly is professional sports and the ultra-realistic “Lost” - viva la Hurley!
