Everybody jumps the shark sooner or later

It's the natural progression of things as in

"24" - it's always the same, Jack in a bind, Jack working outside the playbook, "your first priority is to arrest Jack and bring him back to CTU", the Big Dilemma - "Jack, this is Chloe, the president's head is going to explode and you have exactly 30 seconds before it does Jack" all the while he's on top of some train about to go through a dark tunnel, an archvillain who somehow escapes the tightest security at CTU, but this season's there's a twist, Jack's bro and Dad turned out to be evil working behind the scenes with the terrorists, Jack even tortured his own sibling and Pops murdered him with an IV injection 'cos he felt he was gonna spill the beans. Even the two executive producers now confess this season sucks.

Bill O'Reilly - insinuated in not so subtle terms that Rosie should be fired from "The View" instead of taking the earthy view that free speech sometimes comes with a small price tag and so move on.

Rosie - can't seem to settle down at any one gig. Maybe add ADHD to her depressive state as gets bored easily and can't stick with one job. Not the best judgement either, leaves "The View" shortly after her famous feud with Trump and so gives the illusion of his omnipotence. After her announcement he went home and Melania caught him grinding into the bed.

WCBS News in NY - last night had on "5 Sex Tips to Save Your Sex Life", it must be hard on the anchorperson who thinks he/she may have landed a serious journalistic job and then is forced to make cutsie-poo jokes after the report airs, "harharhar, get that Barry White music out." 5 Sex Tips you can read about in any Cosmo, #4 will give him a heart attack.

Any Matrix sequels

Sean Hannity - there are other subjects besides the war, take suggestions and stop acting like anyone who disagrees with you is evil.

...to be continued...

  1. Look, I realize Trump is God and that last sentence in the Rosie paragraph was uncalled for.

  3. "Desperate Housewives" jumped the shark big-time, now it's just who's having sex with whom, Gabby's a slut and another housewive just opened a pizza joint. I still say the show jumped the shark when they got rid of George, the psycho pharmacist. Who knows, maybe the nation's druggists complained but basically the whole gig was a one-season show anyway. Time to wrap it up folks.

  4. I honestly don't know what happened on the last episode of "24". The Chinese crashed into CTU and wanted Josh Bauer, Jack's son and Daddy Bauer's grandson, and then the scene switches to Dad helping the Chinese to enable that all-important sub-circuit from the nuke to work so they can decode Russian military secrets and are using his grandson as a hostage, only thing is they didn't kidnap Josh yet until after the thing was underway.....it's just so damn confusing and half-assed.
