There’s no way television was ever intended to be High School Reunion
Very Bad
I don’t watch much television on actual tvs. As such, most of my viewing is the product of recommendations - almost never channel-surfing. Owing to a missing battery cable, I found myself with a little free time and during a NCAA blow-out, flipped through the channels. I landed on High School Reunion, slighlty recognizing the name from someplace now distant.
After watching on and off for 45 minutes, which was all I could bear, I can say that High School Reunion is worse than very bad. It is very, very, very bad. I am not talking about the good kind of very bad, like Hall and Oates or The Core where bad is actually entertaining. I am talking about unredemptive dretch that has no higher aspiration than to fill 22 minutes of airtime and cater to the narcissistic whims of a groups of almost 40 year old would-be stars. The show was sad, dull, artificial and I am worse a man for having lost any time to it.
Philo Farnsworth must roll in grave.
