What the hell is this? That’s what I was saying this morning when my 73 yr old mother wanted to watch her cooking shows - (more like crack-ing shows..I think she watches more of them than actually cooks) and nothing was on the screen

At first I thought I forgot to pay the cable bill..yes I’ve had many of those times..but it was some man’s voice repeating jibberish about how Cable and some company named Scripps wouldn’t come to an agreement - basically in my mind it’s two money hungry corporate existences that take money from my pocket every minute of every second and these idiots can’t settle the agreement of who is going to steal more money from the you and me?..so instead of just figuring it out, out of spite they attack right back to the people who actually pay their bills…the consumer.

What a way to start 2010 - to be reminded that even in the simplest way your getting robbed. I already get that with my weekly insult, I mean paycheck

Well at least there is a website to show your anger - www.ilovefoodnetwork.com BUT don’t be fooled, it’s just Scripps way of getting the consumer to fight their own fight and in the end when they charge Cablevision a higher price for their channels whose going to get stuck in the end? the consumer.

You know what I am fine with not seeing Guy-I need a cough drop-Fieri, Giada-I have the biggest head on the dwarf body-DeLaurentis, RACHEL RAY (she doesn’t even need an explanation of why she is annoying) Bobby-I hate Bobby Flay-Flay, and PAULA DEAN…

You know what would be a good idea? Everyone in America gets their video camera and makes their own cooking videos and posts it online to share with the world FOR FREE..youtube, a NING setup, etc. Jesus both my parents had more cooking skills in their pinkies compared to an Alton ANNOYING Brown..

Okay one more thing on my list of to-do’s and ideas..

I caught the reunion last night..I’ve been reading blogs complaining how it was too flat and boring..I would have to agree, I only laughed a few times last night and that’s not the norm with Curb..

Last night was like a weird dream..I couldn’t get over how the men of the show aged except for ‘glasses’ and how Elane or Julia Dreyfuss looked exactly the same so I wasn’t paying attention to the dialogue, I didn’t get the exchanges between the characters and they all felt a bit forced..

The other issue was with seeing ‘Kramer’ Michael Richards - I didn’t get the staring at the boobs at the restaurant bit, yeah I get the idea to take away his attention from Larry but still a bit corny and I was waiting for him to say “what’s up with all the boobs” but nothing.. after his whole racial incident I can’t really look at him the same way anyway..

Anyway I am loving this season so far of Curb minus the hiccup from last night so I will continue to watch and comment..
