As the writers' strike enters its third month, the pickin's are slim, the TiVo cupboard bare. Our standards, consequently, have slipped.
In a momentary fit of delirium -- or desperation -- Dan recorded Reign of Fire, a cinematic triumph described thusly: "A brood of fire-breathing dragons emerges from the earth and begins setting fire to everything, establishing dominance over the planet." We lasted maybe five minutes; it was that bad.
Marty was over the other day, and as we scanned the listings, "The 750 Pound Man" jumped out. Naturally, we had to watch. Then we sucked down bowls of Ben & Jerry's. Things got heavier as the evening wore on: next up was "Half Ton Man," followed by "World's Heaviest Man" (1,225 lbs.).
There was nowhere to go after that, which pretty much sums up the current TV situation. Thank God for Netflix.

You haven't lived until you see I Eat 33,000 Calories a Day on TLC. Check it out or the half a woman special...
It's a sad day, when the ONLY thing that Mme. Tivo picked up worth watching was this week's Project Runway.
Does this make me a big sissy gal?
