TV Re-Imagined
_I don’t have cable so when I hear people talking about the latest
episode of their favorite TV show, I have to make a quick assumption
about the kind of show they’re describing. It’s either that or trust
Wikipedia, which I don’t.
----- The Hard Times of RJ Berger About: Examines the hard times of RJ, the man behind the mask of the Hamburglar, who falls from Ronald McDonald’s good graces after eating an Apple Pie. Kinda Like: The story of Adam and Eve meets “Oz” in and around a dilapidated McDonald’s. Tagline: The burger they are, the harder they fall. You might hear me say: Ha! Mayor McCheese’s hat is way too small for his head! ----- MTV Cribs About: Celebrity babies and their accessories. Kinda Like: "Look Who’s Talking" meets an upper class version of Ikea for infants. Tagline: Rock-a-Buy some expensive shit! You might hear me say: How pompous are these celebrity babies? ----- 30 Rock About: An in-debt astronaut with a good heart discovers valuable crack rocks on another planet and a battle for the resources ensues much to the dismay of the native inhabitants. Kinda Like: "The Wire" meets "Avatar". Tagline: Scratch your itch on NBC this fall. You might hear me say: I’ve only smoked crack once, so it’s kind of hard for me to relate to the main character. ----- Fringe About: A retired tailor has one last job -- to keep the President’s sweater from completely unraveling or Communism wins. Kinda Like: "24" meets "Project Runway". Tagline: Keep pulling. You might hear me say: America! ----- Private Practice About: A satirical look at the exclusion policies of professional sports practices. Kinda Like: "The Skulls" meets Sportscenter. Tagline: Coming This Summer, By Invitation Only You might hear me say: I just can't get into to this show. ----- Grey’s Anatomy About: The sexual exploration of teenage Darcy Grey in a musical format. Kinda Like: High School Musical meets late night Cinemax. Tagline: Biology has never been so much fun. You might hear me say: I thought they were going to show more boob. |
