One of my favorite things about putting together the TVGA field report is compiling a category that we lovingly call Weird & Wonderful.
Seeing names of shows such as Amish at the Altar next to My Dog Ate What? next to I Shouldn’t Be Alive next to I Love Money next to… and so on never fails to put a smile on my face. It’s so easy and often trendy to breezily say that “there’s nothing but crap on TV” or some such (and puffing on a long and thin European cigarette while doing this adds to one’s affect, to be sure), and let’s face it – not every show that falls in that category is going to be a stunning and searing refutation of such a statement.
But I’d counter by saying that put that grab bag of shows together with the unassailably high quality programming going on the air on a given night and you have an incredible choice to suit any number of tastes.
And let’s face it: that’s why television is television, something that everyone except the most isolated and most affected consume in some quantity.
And at the TVGA we’re here to say that that’s a good thing. Join the movement.
Now here’s tonight’s TV:
