Look who's baaaack

My kingdom for a good straight man

Never mind that they are walking all over Dame Edna's timing watch the behavior of her co-panelist.

Listen, I don't care who's show it is, or how big a star you are, trust me, if Dame Edna is on the panel it is NOT about you.

Everyone in Dame Edna's wake is a straight man, accept your role with humility and try to escape with some dignity.

I'm watching reality television, get me out of here!

Reality television has been on a slide for some time now. But I remember better days of the genre where they had things figured out. On the very first episodes of The Biggest Loser where they introduced these overweight people with whom you could identify.

They developed these people into interdependent teams and then worked them like borrowed slaves all day long. They then brought them into the studio to "weigh in". But first they locked them in a room with a platter full of cupcakes and turned off the lights for five minutes.

Now that's television.
