First, Robert Blake. I don’t give a crap about his career, and I really don’t give a hoot about whether he killed his wife or not. I definitely don’t want to see this frivolous garbage eating up valuable time on the cable news stations from things that really matter, like the war in Afghanistan or the Mideast conflict.

I especially don’t want to see a repeat of the O.J. Simpson fiasco. I found the bookends to that whole ordeal fascinating. The Bronco “chase” and the verdict were both classic moments in American popular culture, and especially in the history of American television. But the trial itself bored me. And I couldn’t care less about Robert Blake. I never saw “Baretta.” The only thing I think I ever saw him was David Lynch‘s “Lost Highway,” and I hated that movie.

Second, ALF. What the hell is this character doing back on television in those always annoying 10-10-220 ads? I don’t get it. The only question is who’s more annoying: Terry Bradshaw or ALF? Close call. Actually, I enjoyed “Alf” when it was on the air. Then again, I was only 9 years old when it debuted.
