And LOGMAN Takes On Blogger!

This was just a blog from my MySpace which I wrote when first setting up my new Blogger. I felt the need to move it over here, because I did some typical Logan-style bashing of a TV show

So as some of you may have noticed, I have deleted a couple of old Blogs. This is because MySpace's Blog thing is dumb and wouldn't bring up my old ones (which is especially annoying if you had never read my award winning* blog called Crimes Against Music). So luckily the first 2 are back up there so you can read about the pain of the Miami Vice movie whenever you like

Unless you are blind. In which case, you won't see me pulling faces at you right now

That's right - right now!


Back to the story...


Funnily enough, the plan to write a weekly blog of humour for you all has been thwarted, due to my unexpected trip to Brisbane last year. I tell you, I'll be having a strong talk with my brother about timing...

And I've been trying to find the time, but as you can tell from my new profile pic, my spare time is being used much more wisely: lots of photo tampering (I have an obsession with giving people the same face paint as the Ultimate Warrior. I think I may post some if anyone is interested) and watching Boston Legal. Which reminds me; what's the deal with that show? The first few episodes were pretty good, and I was successfully hooked, but it seems that since Candice Bergen joined the cast it all of a sudden got all political. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for political discussion. But I can't stand it when a show compromises being funny to try and give the viewer a message. That's what Sesame Street is for! And I probably wouldn't mind so much, but all the messages seem to involve America being the greatest nation in the universe.

Yeah, because we don't hear that much anywhere else

It's a typical American thing to do in television to make the show more "intelligent", but really smart comedies don't need to make these blatant - and painfully stupid - story angles. It reminds of MASH... and Murphy Brown. Wait a minute - Candice Bergen was Murphy Brown! And now that we're on the subject, she wasn't exactly very good when she guest starred on The Muppet Show. Right, we need to keep her off TV from here on. Maybe Denny Crane could rip off his suit to reveal his Star Trek uniform underneath, then grab his communicator and say "Mr. Scott... open the space hatch to dispose... of this... intruder!" and then a hatch opens and she gets sucked into the deep void of space. And Alan can reveal he is really from the planet Vulcan... and then their office building transforms into a giant spaceship... and then Denny Crane turns to Optimus Prime and says "Optimus... we need to find... some energon... before it's too late" to which Optimus Prime replies "I know, Denny. My warning diodes are pulsating - this is a mission to save the world" and then bring on the big music... maybe the glam rock version of The Transformers theme that they used for the movie

That would make a great show
