I Hate Morning TV

Argh, I hate morning TV...

You see, I'm an insomniac, so I typically don't get to sleep until very late into the morning. What I hate about this is that I watch television to help me sleep, but in the morning there's nothing on except crappy cartoons, The Today Show, MTV's endless aray of rap/punk, and VH1's endless aray of stuff shown on MTV last year. What that leaves me at is being up at 8:37 AM and bored like nothing else. (Which, for some reason, compelled me to do laundry...)

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, so morning TV is crap. The only show I watch in the morning without flipping the channel like crazy is Captain Planet, and that's just because it's great to mock. Crazy show. I have the feeling it was created by a bunch of hippies sitting around a tree singing songs and playing banjo. One of them just decided "You know what? Kids today just aren't interested enough in enviromentalism. Maybe it's because enviromentalism is unappealing to them... I know! We can trick them into saving the planet!" Then they smoked a whole lot of pott and came up with Captain Planet.

Actually, if you watch the credits for Captain Planet, you'll notice it says "Idea by Ted Turner." That's right, the same guy who decided to make all shows on TBS start 5 minutes after they should and banned use of the term "foreign object" from WCW broadcasts because it contained use of the word "foreign" (the term was replaced by the idiotic sounding "international object"... I wish I were making this up) is the same genius who brought you Captain Planet.

It's funny how they portray anti-enviromentalists. There was one show where this guy *literally* had a ship that ran on pollution. He even called it his "Pollution-Fueled Ship."

What does this have to do with morning television? I don't know... I think my clothes need to be put in the dryer.
