I am so immensely happy the Writer's Strike is wrapping up this week, if for no other reason than "Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann."
Now don't get me wrong: Even though I'm a grown man, I'm not immune to a well-structured talent show. I can dig 'em, when they're done well. But with the TV writer's out of work, the networks had to stretch the natural viewing length of a lot of these shows... and "Dance War" became an hour-and-a-half nightmare of Bruno's ridiculisms (as I call them). That man, and that long format for that show, are both pain-inducing to watch.
To watch that show slowly, painfully unfold over an hour and a half is like watching Portabello Mushrooms grow.
I have to say since the Writer's Strike began, I've pretty much stopped watching TV. So, when I read today's toon, I had no clue as to what you were talking about.
Having searched ABC's web site a few moments ago, I now know. But I have to say I disagree with you, Dave.
Watching Portabello Mushrooms grow is far more entertaining.
Today's comic strip reminded me of this. It a picture of a robot far into the distant future listening to a hi fi set he had managed to salavage from a farm house. Too bad the only record he could find was "The Three Stooges sing Carmen."
