Looking through our PVR last night, I saw that one of the shows I usually record got moved to another time slot. In its place was the new “Skating With Celebrities” show. My wife likes watching figure skating, so we turned it on. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see Dave Coulier try to keep up with Nancy Kerrigan on the ice?

We only had half of the show recorded so I didn’t have to suffer through the whole thing. It was pretty pathetic. You’ve got these has-been celebrities (sorry, Dave) skating with these has-been skaters (sorry, Nancy). There’s just nothing exciting about that. A couple of the people did ok, but for the most part it was a skater doing all kinds of spins and tricks and stuff like that while the celebrity tried his best not to fall down (sorry, Dave).

And to add to the already overly pathetic drama, you’ve got these skaters who won multiple gold medals in the Olympics acting like the scores they get on this TV show really matter at all…as if that tenth of a point will make a difference in their career as a skater.

It’s shows like this one that make me glad that shows like “Arrested Development” are out on DVD.
