It's hard to make jokes about television when television itself steals all the best punch lines and turns them into reality shows. Will people actually watch the upcoming "Skating With Celebrities?" I wouldn't think so, but then again I didn't think anyone would watch "Dancing With the Stars," and that turned out to be summer's big ratings winner.
Do people really care about ice skating? Probably not, but did people really care about ballroom dancing?
Here's the only reason I can think of to tune in: Dave Coulier will try to seduce Kristy Swanson by making those stupid Looney Tunes voices and she might get mad enough to remember the martial arts moves she learned on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the film version starring Luke Perry, not the popular television series) and then she'll do what every American has wanted to do since season two of Full House and slice Uncle Joey's pasty white neck open with the blade of her skate.
Now that would be compelling television.

Uncle Joey isn't even in the top 5 of my list of Most Annoying TV Characters of all time, man. I don't need him dead... maimed, maybe. But he does that woodchuck voice and it's just so damn adorable.
Who is on my top 5 list? Well, maybe we'll have to wait until a future TV tuesday when no one else is contributing to the blog.
