Where My Life Is Going
At the beginning of March, I set our Tivo (or whatever our generic cable company-provided variation on the Tivo is called) to tape The Marriage Ref. I did not have any interest in The Marriage Ref, but it was getting so much hype that I was afraid I’d be kicked out of my “cool guys who know about things” club if I didn’t get in on the action.
"This is the most embarrasing moment of my life." Hahhahahahahahaha! "I’m going to murder myself after this is all over." Whoooo hahahahahahaha!!! "Seriously, for the love of God, please help us!" Ahhh hahah hahahahaha!!!
I watched the first episode, the one that premiered after the Olympics. If it had been produced by Mr. Nobody and was airing on some buried cable channel, it would have been pretty bad. But with Jerry Seinfeld and gazillions of dollars behind it, it was a train wreck. I decided it would only last a few episodes and I filed it away in my “Irrelevant” folder next to Heidi Montag and the complete works of Rob Thomas.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my machine was still dutifully taping The Marriage Ref. And that one of the episodes featured Ricky Gervais, Larry David, and Madonna. If there was going to be a good episode of The Marriage Ref, it would be the one with Ricky Gervais, Larry David, and Madonna. Plus, I didn’t have any new episodes of Nanny 911 lined up, so I decided to give it another shot. (more…)
