Willy Wonka WTF

I guess there's a whole "WTF bomb" "genre" of parodies out there.

Here's the one I thought was the funniest (of the dozen I've seen so far):

Wednesday, 7/21

Super Pooches; TLC. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.

Really...

Confessions: Animal Hoarding; Animal Planet. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A series that looks at people who accumulate a few too many pets.
Like the guy who has 30 cats living with him.
Yep. This is now a show.

Intersections; Speed. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A show that looks at things like how an F/A-18 Fighter and a dragster can go so fast.
Yep.  Really.

24 Hour Restaurant Battle; Food Network.  9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
As listed by TV Guide (I just can't write this crap):
"Competing couples have just one day to open their dream eateries in hopes of winning over hard-to-please chef-restaurateur Scott Conant."
A whole day...?  Geez-- some restaurants can't get their menus together in a day.
I'm sure the end result will be brilliant; absolutely the place I'd want to go eat.
Gimme a break.


Thursday, 7/22

Battle of the Supercars; Speed. 9 pm CST. Series premiere.

Saturday, 7/24

Doctor Who (BBC America; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
The Doctor Who season finales usually are balls-out adventures.  It's worth checking out.
"But I haven't seen any other episodes."
Hmmm...  What if I told you that the entire 5th Season (the first for 11th Doctor Matt Smith) airs just before this ep?  That's right, at 8 am this morning, BBC America reruns the whole season that leads to this season finale.
I'll admit, Smith's Doctor comes off a little goofy at first, but the end of that first episode has one of my all-time favorite scenes near the end: when The Doctor faces down an alien fleet and tells them Earth is protected by him, so they had better run. 
He may be goofy, but he's also a bad-ass.
(And human companion Amy Pond is cute and sexy and spunky, which is always fun to watch.)

Being Human; BBC America. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.


Sunday, 7/25

I Survived... Bio. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
