So, I’m not on a boat anymore. It’s sad. Especially for Kyle, for whom the floor has not yet ceased its perpetual swaying.

If you’re curious about the state of television while cruising the high seas, I’ll tell you: It’s not good. This is probably for the benefit of the passengers, who really should be eating or swimming or burning all the skin off their shoulders rather than watching the Daily Show. I did learn one thing, though — it’s physically impossible to watch more than 15 minutes of Ghostrider at one time. Unless you saw it in the theater, in which case, wow. I hope you were drunk.

There was a “classic TV” channel, where we happened to catch an episode of Sgt. Bilko while packing up on the last day. It was interesting, and not just in a historical sense — it was actually funny. Of course, it’s totally odd and old-fashioned, but they certainly knew how to write a joke. Here’s an audio clip of the show we watched, where “Elvin Pelvin” joins the Sergeant’s squad and he tries to trick him into making a record. Can’t find that one on YouTube, but here’s another one (picked at random) for your television history education and viewing pleasure.

Here’s a link to an article in New York Magazine about the fate befalling various Bravo reality stars, specifically Top Chef and Project Runway.

The article is way too long and kind of drifts a little bit, but it has some interesting information pertaining to the way former contestants view the shows.

There’s a lot to be said about this, but all I really have to comment on is that it’s hard for me to believe that the people who sign up for these things are really as naive as they seem to be. They willingly signed away some of their rights in exchange for national exposure. They had a pen and they signed the contracts. End of story.

Hard for me to muster a lot of sympathy, but maybe I’m just a bastard.

Don’t worry.  Fall’s not far away.
