Stupid NBC

I used to like NBC. What was there not to like? It had all my favorite shows on there throughout the years. Will and Grace (seasons 2-4). Scrubs. The Office. 30 Rock. Parks and Recreation. SNL for like one year. The Biggest Loser whenever I want to feel inspired. But even I, an avid supporter, could not turn a blind eye to the fact that it has been spiraling down the drain, slowly but surely. (I personally blame Deal or No Deal, because even though it was immensely popular, it opened the door to crazier game shows that no one cares about.)
And then the whole Conan thing happened. That debacle almost caused me to pick up my metaphorical bags and leave NBC once and for all if I didn't have 30 Rock to worry about. It's so impressionable at this early stage. I didn't want to ruin it's ratings.
But I must say, NBC is truly attempting to push me out the door.
Why? You ask. (not really in a genuinely concerned tone, but more in the way when you feel like you have to ask because I'm going to tell you anyways.)

Three words. The Marriage Ref.

The show is terrible. It's pretty much taking a couple's insane problem and making fun of it, then voting for the winner. I know I'm not married, but isn't the general rule for a nuptial fight that no one ever wins? ever? You both keep holding on to your reasons for why you were right and continue to keep on fighting whenever a naive friend brings it up years later, right? Is that just my family?
I know it's an attempt to fill the mess that Jay Leno left at 10:00 but I swear to God I can't stand it. I think the produers are even aware of it, or they wouldn't have tempted Madonna out of her cave and make her endure human interaction as well as flourescent lighting to be on the show. Grasping at straws, man. Grasping at straws.

All I'm saying is that it's best for Jerry Seinfield to return to swimming in a money filled pool or whatever he did with his free time before he started creating reality shows.
