Mr Mews and Quigley engaged in a rare occurence last week over a botttle of sherry and some delightful beluga caviar-they watched America's Got Talent. "Good God man. What flash, what a gauche display in all manners of exploitation. And who are these so-called judges? A bald man, a transexual, and a fop?"
"Indeed, Mr Mews, garish indeed. A human freak show really. I dare say if hell is anything like being a contestant on this abhorrent program I really must start going to confession a bit more frequently."
"I concur Quigley. It's unimaginable, but I believe I'm actually at a loss for words. If I were forced to watch this program on a continual loop for the course of a week I believe I might confess to any manner of abominations I did not commit."
Oh you are a TREASURE! I am following YOU for certain!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm most delighted. Welcome Admiral!
ReplyDeleteWe certainly agree with you about those so-called "talent shows"! And we feel the same about "reality shows".
ReplyDeleteWe listen to classical music, and we watch science and nature shows on TV (it is fun trying to catch the little animals there), Futurama, South Park, and Robot Chicken. Do you enjoy those?
Oh, indeed I do indulge in the lighter side of things now and then. A gentleman is not always stiff and serious. One of my favorite guilty pleasures is "That Darn Katz" episode of Futurama when "we" take over the world. (Season 6 episode 8 to be exact). It always give a tickle and chuckle that one.
ReplyDeleteMr. Mews, I must say your review of that "talent" show was spot on! I believe most felines have a vast number neurons MORE than necessary to appreciate such slog. Do leave it for the subbies, eh?
ReplyDeleteWe don't watch these shows. Our television objected to it and blacked out. We haven't replaced it since.
ReplyDeleteWe can tell that you are indeed a cat of discrimination and taste. We like that in a cat!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, my friends, indeed. I do have discriminating tastes as you do. And welcome! There is so much more to consider and to discuss. This is only the beginning...
ReplyDeleteMercifully, not only does our television object to these shows, our human does as well. And to most of the so-called popular programs, which none of us, feline or human, has ever seen.
ReplyDeleteIt is clear that you have very refined taste!
ReplyDeleteWe have given up on watching TV, as we agree about the reality shows (the people are idiots) and the NO TALENT SHOWS. We purrfur curling up with a good book to watching TV anyways.
ReplyDeleteWe really likes your writings. We not has educashun like you, but we understands you purrfectly.
ReplyDeleteMy mommy sais you is a awesome read!
