Just When You Thought…

… TV couldn’t get any dumber, NBC decided to step up to the plate.

No longer satisfied with FOX being the top dog when it comes to the King of Stupid, NBC made a stunning move in an effort to take over the top stop.

“When animals attack…”
“When yogurt goes bad…”
“Who wants to date a homeless guy…”
“Look at me, I found a shiny nickel…”

All top quality dumb shows. Shows so dumb in fact that one would have to be considered clinically insane to even try to top them. Yet it would seem that Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment in association with Reveille want to take that top honor.

Enter: “Celebrity Cooking Showdown” – a week long cooking orgy of celebrities and famous chiefs.

Now this might be a slightly cool idea if these were real celebs cooking their own stuff, but its not. These pampered near-do-wells are getting one-on-one coaching, a culinary “boot camp,” and they even have the real chiefs prepare the menus and they help them during the “competition.” (note: the chiefs aren’t there the WHOLE time, but they might as well be)

I mean honestly, what kind of competition is that? To top it all off, the winner in the end is really decided by the American voting public? How does that work? I think Cindy Margolis’ roasted duck looks amazing, but honestly it’s a little too peppery for my taste. I’m gonna have to go with Pattie LaBelle on this one.

Then as if all that wasn’t bad enough they get Alan Thicke to host the show to bring to real “drama” and “tension” as things unfold in the kitchen.

Thank the good lord above its spring, I cannot imagine being trapped in the house with this crap on.
