Screaming with Celebrities

We’ve got a guest who came over for a visit tonight. I turned on the TV for his son to watch while they chatted. Unfortunately we don’t have cable, so he decided “Skating with Celebrities” was the best thing on at the time. Poor guy.

I don’t know, mabye it’s not a bad show, I’ve never watched it. To be honest the only reason we didn’t Tivo the first airing of it was because it coincided with some other show we preferred. So I’m ignoring it as best as I can while I catch up on my blog reading. What I’m noticing (despite my efforts to ignore) is all the hooting and hollering going on. I have never watched a single ice skating event where the audience did anything but appreciative clapping. This show is as obnoxious and noisy as American Idol. They must have prerequisites for audience members:

  • Must be under 20 years old
  • Must be able to do that loud, annoying whistling thing with your fingers
  • Must be exciteable enough to find ice skating worth screaming about
  • Must be able to maintain screaming activity for at least an hour

Did I miss anything?
