I've done so many hops in the last few months, I had to prove to myself that I could still come up with an original idea every once in a while. lol Oh, if I were in charge, the changes would be tremendous. I think one of the first things I'd do is to do away with all reality television, as it is only advertising under a false premise. Most know that there are scripts written for all of these shows, so there's really no reality involved. Years ago, when I was in a desperate strait, I took a part time job at a Wal-Mart, working from 11 pm to 5 am, to go along with the full time job I had. One night, a really fat woman, in a big sack dress, made it through the registers and almost out the front door before a small flat screen TV dropped from between her legs. Most of the cashiers didn't know to charge her, hold her for the authorities, or simply pay her for the entertainment of the evening! lol Many Thanks!Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-28974222345711826472014-01-09T20:40:40.941-05:002014-01-09T20:40:40.941-05:00Joy - Love that you stopped in for these!

No cameos in the future on any of the shows, although I think it would freak everyone out if I dropped in on Gyno Wino! lol I'm not a real fan of any TV show at this time. When I'm home alone, usually it's either a movie or sports as a background noise as I do something else. I'm currently recording all of The Walking Dead series, which does have its moments. I didn't remember the Ackroyd bit until you mentioned it. SNL was definitely a leader back then. Shame it went downhill.

I'm thinking since Lifetime is the host of Honey Boo Boo, they'd be a prime candidate for this family viewing. Who knows? It might even be a break program for CNN or Fox News, the way they're going.

I'm sure police stations generally have video going all the time. All we need is an announcer and a roaming camera crew and who knows, an award in the making.
