Here’s the Problem: TV Demotions

Here’s the Problem: My tonsilitis-imposed insomnia has lead me to make some very interesting observations on the front of TV professionals (that is, characters who have a job on TV, not people like Any Cohen (who is far from a TV “professional” btw)).

Anywho!  There are two current workplace-shows where the boss man is demoted and then consequently re-promoted within the course of a year

  1. Michael Scott on The Office who takes a step down to salesman when Jim steps up to Regional Manager
  2. Chief Webber steps down as chief on Grey’s Anatomy due to his alcoholism and is replaced by McDreamy.  The swap happens the following season when everyone realizes that PTSD is more serious than boozing too much so they give Wet Willy Webber his job back.

Actual Problem:  At 4 am, lying on the couch, I was sure I could write an entire thesis paper on this.  At 11:30 am, sitting at my desk, I’m getting bored just finishing this blog post.

Here’s the Problem: Dancing Your Ass Off

You see fierce competition.  I see chalupa.

A series of posts about all the recorded TV I caught up on during a bout of insomnia.

Here’s the Problem:  Oxygen had a fab idea with this one – combining a dancing show and weight loss show – two red hot genres in the reality TV biz.  However, it’s the weakest version of both shows.  The contestants aren’t the strongest of dancers, and so far their scale readings haven’t blown me away.

Actual Problem:  For whatever reason watching people work this hard and dance so intensely really makes me want Taco Bell.  Ah, ok, reason for insomnia discovered.
