570News - Gary Doyle

Just when I thought the lords of the TV had scraped what they could from their shoes, I see a promo last night for “Celbrity Detox.” How desperate are these B-Listers for attention? Gary Coleman, who’s career peaked before puberty got married on a reality show and next month will get divorced on the show “Divorce Court.” Surfing the other day I stumbled on Steve Wilkos. His schtick, the former Security Chief for Jerry Springer, is to get as close to his toothless guests as possible and belittle them, much to the delight of a studio audience that could hold hands and not register an IQ. If it wasn’t for TV programming, I would never have the time to read so many books. Thank you “lowest common denominator” suits for excluding me from your swill.
