Dumb
ByMy one-word summary of last night’s live West Wing debate.
Honestly, last night was the first “episode” I’ve ever watched in its entirety. I’ve tried to watch it once or twice before but just couldn’t get into it.
I thought the concept was interesting but it was so FAKE, so contrived, overrehearsed, amateurish…I mean, who was the genius writer who took the script from the John Kerry Handbook of Debate and just changed a few words to fit the issue? I voted for it before I voted against it. Did anyone buy that in 2004? Give me a break!
What was with the “impromptu” walking away from the podium and Forrest Sawyer pretending to be surprised? And the audience shouting? Fake, fake, fake. I think last night was the first time in my life my eyes had rolled so far back in my head they were in danger of sticking.
Teri Hatcher crying in the middle of the street at the end of Desperate Housewives last night was more convincing.
Thoughts?

See? That’s what you get for turning your back on quality television programming. Those of us who absorbed The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror and Family Guy were much more culturally enriched. Although there were probably just as many laughs on The West Wing, albeit unintentional.

D’oh! I missed a Halloween episode? I’m usually at Chelsea Piers at 8pm on Sundays…totally forgot. Couldn’t DVR it either; was taping 2 movies at the same time – one being Shaun of the Dead!! ha!
