When the Real Housewives of Insert City Here gather for a reunion show, a knock-down-drag-out two-episode cage match is inevitable. There are winners, and there are losers. (Spoiler alert! The viewers are the losers.) And then, there is Ramona Singer’s face.

Have you seen Breaking Amish? It’s on TLC, which is short for The Loony Corral. Five young Amish people are plunked down in the middle of Manhattan and must learn how to sort of fend for themselves. I say “sort of” because it appears that they have been given hotel rooms (one for the boys and one for the girls so that no naughty bits cross paths) and some spending money. Continue reading

That’s a very, very good question. I don’t know. Maybe because I’m an idiot, but not a quitter. Or maybe I just care about the hundreds tens of readers who are waiting with baited breath for their next recap. But whatever the reason, here I am and here it is, another truly terrible episode of Revolution. Continue reading

Pzzzzt! Lights Out Blondie!
What do adult New Yorkers love – dare I say it? – more than alcohol? Real estate porn. Especially aspirational real estate porn which, according to the address listed in the title, is what this show is about. But this is less Million Dollar Listing: New York and more Rosemary’s Baby.

What? How is the Emmy Award winningest reality television show The Amazing Race Terrible Television? Well it’s not. Except for when it is. While it is by far the best reality television show of all time (sorry, Taylor Swift), some of the teams are comprised of terrible people. And when you take away a terrible person’s creature comforts and plunk them down in faraway places with limited funds and minimal language skills, they often do and say terrible, cringeworthy things.

Okay, let’s try this again. Revolution is the show where all the lights go out and the world turns into a very special episode of Little House on the Prairie. The credits say that C. Thomas Howell is a guest star, but since I only remember him from his fine work in Soul Man and it’s unlikely that he will be wearing blackface on this show, I doubt that I will recognize him when I see him.

Sweaty, Hotty and Grumpy
I come to Last Resort a virtual virgin – I have literally no idea what this show is supposed to be about, but Scott Speedman and Andre Braugher are on it, so I am willing to give it a try. Resting on the laurels of Felicity and Homicide, how can the show go wrong? I will pair it with a nice Sauvignon Blanc. And be warned, I am not investing in learning any character names yet.

Meet your newest writer, DrunkMommy. She is a wine aficionado with two matching toddlers and has been known to watch some really lousy television.
So there seems to be a theme to Terrible Television, and we are only two shows deep. That theme is ‘how dumb do these writers think we are?’ Or perhaps it is ‘how dumb are these writers?’ But I am trying to give the writers a little credit for perhaps looking down on us, rather than up to us. I mean, they are the ones getting paid the big bucks for network television shows, correct? And we are the mere peasants blogging about their terrible shows. For free. But don’t let that stop you from reading. Continue reading

I was waiting for the football game to be over so that I could change the channel to anything but sports, and something amazing happened. A guy in blue spandex threw the ball, and a guy in a yellow helmet caught it, and one referee, a legally blind day laborer, threw his hands in the air, which I am told means “touchdown!” The other referee, a middle school gym teacher, made a different move with his arms that either means “check, please” or “interception.” So congratulations, sports. You are terrible.
