Allez, allez!

Lately there's been a question that I've been asking myself more than any other question. I feel that quite a large part of my existance depends on the answer and I'm still not sure I want to know. I mean, do we really want to know the answer to the ultimate question? Can we be absolutely sure they wouldn't depress the hell out of us? Of course we can't, we can't be sure of anything, but that's not the point or the answer to the question. The question is: What happened to good TV? Do you know? Because I really don't. I've thought about it and it all seems to be reruns or remakes. Have everything already been done or are people just running out of ideas? If they are, allow me to share some.

The Next Top Mozart: twenty people who all think they have what it takes to pull off the wig, have bad teeth and wear tights.
America's next top porn star on ice: who can do a killer-throw without being a killer?
Atlantis: we all know what happened, but we've never seen it in HD!
Hobo Hunting: The winner wins shelter for the winter, the losers win a better life.

At the moment Gladiators is on TV. I don't think I've seen this show in years. Somehow it used to be cooler back then. You know, when all the gladiators were older than you were and they seemed so BIG! Now it just seems rather sad. I mean, it's not even historically correct. The gladiators never chased anyone but each other. How did it come to this? How did we end up pissing on the Roman heritage without so much as a whip? Because if there's one thing that would make this show a little less pathetic and a little more fun, it'd be a whip.
