Unless the “My Dad” show has a “Putting the Kids to Bed Without Mom’s Help” competition, it is nothing but a fraud. And no one can be crowned “America’s Favorite Mom” unless they can be shown doing three loads of laundry while simultaneously helping multiple kids with homework and cooking a highly delicious, nutritionally balanced meal the whole family will love. Just a typical day at my house, of course! (Ummm…except for the cooking part)

People that come up with this crap should be ashamed of themselves. But not as ashamed as the desperate nitwits who want to participate, or the brain-dead mouth-breathers who would watch it.

Dan Cortese is still alive? Man, I pictured him dead in some alleyway after an OD, selling himself for drug money in Las Vegas or making his comeback on “the Surreal Life”. He’s really alive and well? Shocking.
Oi, this tv strike is making like less than awesome these days. Without fresh episodes to watch last night I actually sat down and watched the “State of the Union”. Worst was that I found myself cheering and jeering along with the congressional Democrats. At home by myself no less. How lame is that?
Worse yet, Mike Slezak and Annie Barrett have gotten stuck writing about all these crappy reality shows instead of writing Kickazz send ups of stuff we like to watch. (Idol is the exception to this rule. Thanks to my main man and to Annie B for keeping up Idolatry and the power rankings).
Someone please end this strike already!

Snarf: A-Freakin-Men! Lets watch Dad (Mom) tear themselves away from being awesome and sitting down while their kid does homework. I hope they’ve got some dramatic music que’d up for that!

Can’t you just ignore this crap the networks are coming up with and just tell us when this moronic strike is over?

Which dad can drive the furthest on a family road trip without threatening to either “stop this car right now” or “turn this car around and go straight back home?”
Which mom can perform the most spit-on-a-Kleenex-based cleansing of her child in front of a group of that child’s friends before the child sprints off crying uncontrollably?

Have some parents actually take a real interst in raising their children? Oh, snap.

I’d love to see a dad complete a week’s worth of errands and chores in one day. He can even have a full 24 hours…if he’s willing to forego sleep.

Thanks Michael for the gratuitous “gun-show” picture of Dan; he made an appearance on “8 Simple Rules” and “What I Like About You” then disappeared again. (This strike is brutal!)

Most of these shows just seem so forced. I don’t find them entertaining at all.
Have to think of a challenge though and then I’ll be back
