The continuing adventures of Beau Yarbrough

“I don’t like this, but I’m not changing the channel.”

This is just annoying:

Four out of five Americans say they think too many reality shows are on the air, according to an APTV Guide poll. Only 4 percent of respondents said there were not enough.

Half of Americans believe there are too many crime shows on television. The longtime staple of TV dramas has proliferated with the success of franchises such as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Law & Order.”

Guys, change the freaking channels. There’s 72 different Law & Order shows because people keep watching them. Ditto reality shows — if you weren’t giggling over Donald Trump firing people all the last two years, we wouldn’t have Martha Stewart doing the same thing this year.

Of all the new shows introduced last year, “CSI: New York” has the most people looking forward to its return. “Desperate Housewives,” twice as popular with women as it is with men, came in second.

OK, now people are just making stuff up. As much as I wanted to like it, the NYC CSI is almost unwatchable.

As my mother used to always ask me, when I was watching a show I didn’t like, are your arms broken, people?

  1. Never once have I stayed awake for an entire episode of CSI:NY.

    Never.
