It's Christmas eve and my 19 year old is watching Maury "the sleaze" Povich as he tries to do a Dr Phil and cure a woman of her fear of frogs.
No success, but then he goes into lie-detector mode to see whether a boyfriend is sleeping with his girl's mother. She (Mom) is telling the truth and Maury works his magic again.
I call this Trailer Trash TV and one step down from Jerry Springer (make that half a step). How anyone can watch this tasteless crap beats me but I guess it appeals to the teenagers.
Fortunately I shall be able to watch Canadian chef Michael Smith later on. He will be cooking a turkey. I guess the teenagers will think that sad! What will you be watching tonight?
Tomorrow, thank goodness, there is no twenty year old movie for Christmas on Arabian TV so we have normal schedules . I don't know about the USA but the Brits usually drag out Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins or some other ancient old-timer in the belief that it brings the family together.
Christmas TV. It 's nohing to write home abou.t
