My super-short, super-opinionated TV Reviews
My TV watching's kind of random these days, between TiVo at work and the random times I'm actually home and not asleep or showering. But, from what I've seen, here's what I have to say about TV, or at least the TV I've been watching...
CHECK IT OUT! TOMMY LEE'S SO WACKY!
Tommy Lee Goes to College
OK, I really thought this might actually be funny when I first started watching it. And really, it so isn't. It's so incredibly fake and forced that it just sucks. Man, I wish that had been more articulate, but seriously, it just sucks. His stupid advisor is trying so hard to be "hip" and cool that he'll drop an F-bomb out of nowhere, which really hurts my brain. It reminds me of the time that I said to my dad, "You know, that girl, Beyonce, from Destiny's Child," to which he replied (rolling his eyes) "I know who Beyonce is." It's like, look, old man. Cut it out. I get it. I was just trying to be nice.
There's this other part where Tommy's trying out for the marching band and supposedly barely makes it. There are a number of reasons why I find this retarded. First of all, in the friggin' intro of the show, we see Tommy performing in the marching band. In uniform. At a game. People. We're not completely retarded. We know he got in the band. Secondly, Tommy. Come on. You sucked at tryouts for an instrument THAT YOU PLAY. Like all the time, supposedly. WTF, man? It's like the only thing you're supposed to be able to do. No one's asking you to split atoms here. That's your totally-not-planted, blonde, busty tutor's job. Oh, how funny. I get it now. She's supposed to look like PAM. How funny. I'm really laughing here. Really, I am.
HUNGRY FOR MORE STARVED!

I'm sorry. I was totally trying to sound all "Variety" with my little headline there. I couldn't help it. Secretly, I want to be a trade magazine when I grow up. Anyways, I really like "Starved." The way it's shot makes it look like some clever little series on BBC, so automatically, it makes you feel smart to be watching it. Everyone is super-sarcastic, of course, but you can tell that they all really care about each other and honestly, people, that's what I'm all about. The love. And the eating disorders. And the angry people who have them.
