You Take The Good, You Take The Bad...

The Good…

If all goes according to plan, then in the not-too-distant future you just might be seeing another grade-Z celebrity dating show. I can hardly contain my excitement as I share with you that this grade-Z celebrity is none other than “Webster” himself, Emmanuel Lewis. Last seen in VH1’s The Surreal Life, Manny now would like to find love, and apparently he’s interested in taking the Flavor Flav / Bret Michaels path to romance. God bless you, Manny - absurd TV just wouldn't be the same without you.

Note to VH1… you’d better grab this one while you can!


And the Bad…

Discovery Communications announced today that it is turning over its Discovery Health Channel to Oprah Winfrey so that it can become (fanfare and drum roll, please)… OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network! The change is expected to take place in early 2009.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think that we have a new champion in the race for the title of “most unnecessary cable channel.”
