Leaving Hair In The Sink Has Never Been THIS Much FUN
First the good news. Those of you still jonesing for a Mo Rocca fix can point your remote controls to the Bravo Television network. Last night a new show entitled Things I Hate About You premiered. Don't worry if you missed it, cause I'm pretty certain it is one of those networks that will assault you with repeats until you finally sit down and watch. Hell, even Bravo knows they can't live off of Queer Eye's Carson's one-liners forever.
The premise is simple. One hour is devoted to one couple who proceed to make point, counter-point arguments over which one is more annoying in the relationship. A panel of "expert" (insert various struggling actor/comedian/model types here) judges then vote and decide who is indeed, the more annoying one.
And now for the bad news. Right about now you might be asking yourself, "but where does Mo fit into all of this"? If I were Mo, I'd be asking myself the same thing. Mo's role is as the ever necessary evil, yet obvious go between time waster duty of show host.
Some shows NEED a host like say, Alex Trebek on Jeopardy (which btw, you go Ken Jennings, you go!) Other shows obviously just have a host to fill a so-called void (once again Joe Rogan, this goes out to you). Things I Hate About You falls under the category of the latter. Don't get me wrong. It's cute and quirky and chuckle worthy at times, but it's also about 45 minutes and five running gags too long.
Hey! I know what is even more annoying then annoying couples! A program devoted to showing us what is annoying about couples that also happen to be...
COMPLETE STRANGERS.
