Thursday May 22, 2008 | TV Filler == TiVo FF Workout | Entertainment |
It's finale season for reality shows, so that means tons of filler, and time to give your TiVo's fast forward a workout. Who knew it took two hours to read one name off of a card?
Watching these shows really make me love my TiVo even more. The joy of fast forwarding through commercials is nothing compared to the joy of fast forwarding over the Jonas Bothers or some enless montage o' crap.
Sadly, filler is not limited to reality shows. Sports is now loaded with filler. If the game "starts" at 7pm, that means I tune in at 7:45, skip the 15 minutes of pregame hype, and then gradually catch up as I skip the commercials, halftime (more hype) and other fluff. If it's a hockey game, then I get to skip both intermissions!
The events with the most filler, however, are the big horse races. They are nothing but hours of pure filler, followed by two minutes of actually racing, followed by another hour of follow-up filler and pictures of rich ladies in big hats.
