One Less TV Show For You To Watch

Joe Donatelli takes one for the team. Television: It’s what’s on your television.

I know I don’t talk about TV very often (unless it’s May), and admit that I don’t watch TV very often. These days, I only watch TV on TV if 1) a football game is on or 2) when the cat sits on the remote control while I’m playing LEGO Star Wars.

LEGO Star Wars on Wii: So much better than the prequel trilogy its based on.

There’s a very good reason for this (how little I watch TV, not why my cat likes to sit on the remote). Don’t tell anyone, but the vast majority of what’s on TV sucks eggs.

Fortunately, there are heroes out there to brave the airwaves… Heroes like Joe Donatelli, Friend of The ‘Bin.

Now, you already know I’m a big fan of Mr. Donatelli’s: He’s a fantastic and funny writer, he hosts a fantastic and funny podcast, and he understands that the key to a winning football team is a great offensive line.

Joe recently launched a new site, The Humor Columnist, which is choc full of good stuff. You should check it out.

More to the point, you should check out this excellent column he recently wrote, where Joe takes one for the team by watching “The Bachelor” — something I know I could never do.

(Hey, I already watch bad movies so you don’t have to — what more do you want from me?)

THIS GUY WATCHED ‘THE BACHELOR’ SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO

By Joe Donatelli

The Bacheloris a reality television show about 25 women who vie for the love of one man by drinking until they’ve convinced themselves he’s not an incredible bore. Chris Harrison is the show’s host. At least, I think Harrison is the show’s host. The show might be hosted by a sports coat draped over a chair. It’s often difficult to tell.
