A visit to purgatory

I had the misfortune to watch morning television today, as my car service took over three hours. The least offensive and weird was something called "Live! with Kelly and Michael". I think Kelly has been on tv for quite a while, Michael is a former professional football player. The focus here seemed to be on interviewing currently hot celebrities between bantering between the two hosts. It was hard to hear much of what went on but it seemed to be innocuous.

The two other shows I watched were unreal. Let's Make a Deal featured weirdly dressed people from the audience. Some of costumes: police officer, clog dance, honey bee, pirate; there were hundreds more. A great deal of yelling and clapping at almost every word. The Price is Right also had a ton of yelling and clapping. But the dress was more formal - people wore different colored t-shirts. It was sad to see Drew Carey as the primary host; his show many moons ago was pretty funny.

I suspect that there are a number of people who watch these shows every day. I would question their sanity.

The good thing about living anywhere is you can change the channel or turn it off. The difference is that in America there's more cause to do so.
