The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for March 18, 2021

How about “The Amoeba Bachelorette”?

Next week… Krill: A whale of a tale.

Some people say that has happened a long long time ago.

A fishy tale

Tadpole week? Sounds to be a thing that can drive you a TAD up the POLE

When tadpoles attack! X-stream!!!

Probably would be more interesting than the current programs.

Let’s jump ahead to frog week.

Networks had run out of ideas when Fonzie jumped the shark! Most all of the stuff they produce now is dribble for the masses.

That happened a long, long time ago.

I’d rather watch tadpoles all day than watch one minute of any ’reality` show.

Doesn’t look very ribbeting.

All the “reality shows” have already announced the end of “entertainment”.

It’s the little things that count.

Re-runs.. now we get reruns that go back generations.

Will the show have “canned laughter?”

Culminating in TadNado! Polliwogs of death.

They ran out of ideas years ago, which is why there are a jillion episodes of “Finding Bigfoot,” a title that’s a bald-faced lie, because they’re never, but never, going to find a bigfoot, which is because there aren’t any. Doesn’t keep people from watching, though. “Finding a Republican Who’s For Gun Control” wouldn’t result in even a rumored sighting. It’d feature a blank screen for an hour a pop.

I’m torn between which is worse: Reality shows which “have no writing” or those current shows that do have “writing”, mostly, apparently, out of a junior high “I Wanna Be A Hollywood Writer” class.

Take out all the reruns, remakes, and reboots, as well as any show based on a comic book, graphic novel, or other book series, and all you have left are a few vacuous game shows and soap operas.

They ran out of good ideas YEARS ago.

I think they ran out of ideas about 1962.
