David Stern and Ted Turner are in cahoots againts me.
You see, Mondays are big housework evenings around here. Usually, I fold the laundry while standing at the kitchen table, watching Law & Order reruns on TNT for the umpteenth time (it really was the brother! he wanted the diamonds!), as Mondays are a wasteland in the primetime network lineup. I think that the programmers are scared to get us hooked on anything in the off-season, sure that we will defect as soon as Monday Night Football returns. It's alright. As previously noted around these parts, you can do worse than Jerry Orbach. But now, these two rich men, who don't know jack about women who need mindless entertainment in order to do chores, have colluded to poison my mind.
For the past several weeks, and I'm sure for months to come, TNT has been showing NBA playoff games every single night of the bloody week, and in prime time. This means that tonight, it's back to The Swan.
It's not my fault. Really. I'm like Malcolm McDowell at the end of Clockwork Orange.
Posted by volfie at April 26, 2004 08:06 AMYeah, Monday night TV is pretty lame these days. The only thing worse than the Monday night lineup is the Friday night lineup, or possibly the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night lineup.
(Hey, at least the Simpsons are still on Sunday night on Fox)
Last night, we traded sucky network reruns for sucky Hollywood retreads. Netflix dropped the third Matrix in our laps (we don't know how it got in our queue! Honest!), so we watched that.
Battlefield Earth was better. Way better. I'd rather sit through Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (again) than endure either of the two Matrix sequels.
Hats off to the Wachowski brothers. You really have to try incredibly hard to make something that bad.
