I Like to Watch

It's official: "30 Rock" is the funniest new show on television. Plus: Tyra Banks' condescending clown routine reaches new heights of absurdity.

    Sigh

    Wow, you caught me. Here I was trying to sneak the obvious lie that reality shows and comedies have different kinds of characters across by using those subtle capital letters, but you jumped right on that one.

    Rolled eyes.

    Anyhow, I don't hate Tyra, though I don't understand why she can't be a little bit more reasonable with her teenage contestents. Making an African-American girl kiss a guy who says he doesn't like black girls and blaming the girl when the kiss comes out looking funny is unfair, IMHO.

    Overall, I really like America's Next Top Model* and yes, was listening one of the thousand times they mentioned that the pictures from each show are viewable on the show's website.

    *And Veronica Mars, which means there are TWO shows I really like on the CW, which seems strange to me.
