It's definitely the low point, right? I mean, this is what its come too? The lowest common denominator of what drives all internet and television viewing, cute babies head to head, mano e mano, with cute puppies? It sounds horrendous.
On the other hand, I'm not, not gonna say that I watched this past midnight last night, waiting for the epic conclusion as to who would be crowned champ, I'm just far more concerned with what exactly that says about me. If I'm watching this (and I was really watching this, I briefly thought about changing the channel but honestly couldn't pull myself away), I'm basically saying that there is no limit to the crap producers can put on tv and hope to reel me in with.
It's basically to the point where TV execs could just canvass the street for soccer moms and unemployed 20 somethings, ask what they'd like to see on TV, and go shoot it that afternoon, because I refuse to think any further planning went into this show. They got like, the three worst comedian writers I've ever seen (assuming all the good ones were doing an "I Love the I Love The Shows" Reunion on Vh1 or something), and a few hastily put together internet clips and filmed it on a flip cam. That's it. That's all this took, and its working! I'm on their website right now, searching for more clips. I'm busting my ass here trying to be creative, pointed, snarky, and funny in hopes of attracting some advertising, and all I had to do was compare babies to puppies. It's enough to make me snap.
PS: How does one go about getting the narrator job for these type of show down shows? It's like the hardest nut to crack in show biz, there's literally only 3 or 4 guys that snatch up all the gigs for narrator led clip shows, Vh1's got one, Spike has one, TruTV has one, and now, apparently Animal Planet has one. I'm guessing the only qualification being that your voice sounds vaguely derivative of Casey Kasem.
