I made the mistake of recording an episode of My So Called Life<\/em> on the DVR last week. As cute as I think Claire Danes can be, that show was just way too much cheese for me to take. It was so After School Special-ish I wanted to gag. I can see now why it was cancelled, but I don’t understand why there was so much protesting when it happened. Maybe it’s one of those shows that seemed good at the time, but later on felt really dumb to be watching. <\/p>\n

I have a few shows that I loved but would be embarrassed to watch now, like Party of Five<\/em>, Knight Rider<\/em>, Punky Brewster<\/em>, or any of the Care Bear movies. I made the mistake of buying two Benji movies on dvd a few years ago only to realize Benji was only cool when I was a kid. <\/p>\n

I felt obligated to watch the entire episode, though, because I can’t usually stop in the middle of something. I can stop reading a book that sucks, but not something I am watching. <\/p>\n

Incidentally, don’t ever ever ever watch a movie called A Dirty Shame<\/em><\/a> (not to be confused with A Low Down Dirty Shame<\/em><\/a>). I am not a prude by any means, but the premise for the movie sounds a lot more interesting than the actual carrying out of the plot. Seeing as how I enjoyed Tracy Ullman in I Love You to Death<\/em><\/a>, I was disappointed she did such an awful film. I was embarrassed for her, Selma Blair, Chris Isaak, and Johnny Knoxville as well for thinking it would be a good idea to star in this terrible terrible film. <\/p>\n

I shouldn’t have been surprised, however, considering it was written and directed by John Waters, also known for the awful films Hairspray<\/em>, Pecker<\/em> and Cry-Baby<\/em>. I’m sorry if you enjoy pointless films with cheesy acting that isn’t even funny but I don’t. I’d rather watch National Lampoons Dorm Daze<\/em><\/a>, and Dorm Daze II<\/em> when it comes out. At least their stupid plots are actually amusing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
