Needs to be Said

This isn't, of course, the purpose of this blog (and there are so many others that can do it better, gayer, and more frequently) but I have a dream that every asshole with internet access searches for online content related to his exploits and missteps. To that end, I want to dedicate this post to two severely annoying TV shows: Psych and The Closer. Of the latter, nothing much need be said, except that the lead character, a Mrs. Kiefer Sutherland, has triumphed at swallowing her own tongue, apparently, and thereby cannot sustain a credible or even consistent southern accent for her supposed-to-be-from-Atlanta detective/bitch. I propose that the name of the show be changed to The Cracker. Surely, there is a YouTube send-up of this pile of shit somewhere.

As for Psych, a show I have never seen but that apparently has a large following, the conceit is so simple it's stupid: a really good detective pretends to be psychic in order to get work solving mysteries. It sounds like a good idea, until you connect the dots with a straight line and just ask, "why not just be a detective? Wouldn't that be simpler and still showcase your talents -- in fact, more effectively than being dismissed as a flake by the authorities?"

I don't watch either of these shows. But, if anyone associated with them happens to Google these turds, please resolve these issues at once. TV has to make sense.
