Okay, folks, the eighties are over . . .

I'll admit that I'll occassionally get a taste for some trashy TV--I know I've spent hours watching wrestling, and even attended a few events in person. Had a great time, too.

What I'm not getting, though, are those folks who seem to prefer garbage, pretty much exclusively.

Like all those 80s TV shows that are suddenly such a big deal--both the originals and remakes. Are people watching those because they were so good? No--they watch them because they can point at them and laugh about the inane crap we used to consider entertainment. Which in and of itself ain't bad. However, it seems like they just can't get enough of the pointing and the laughing. To the point where that's all they want to do.

Look if it sucks, it sucks. Knight Rider, The Incredible Hulk, The A-Team, Miami Vice . . . they all sucked. They all still suck. They were godawful.

And don't get me started on the idiotic, boring drivel that was considered music--Duran Duran? The Police? The Human League? Juice Newton? Yawn, people!

And the people who still consume this crap consume it because it's crap! Whoever did that is an evil genius. I mean, really. Almost literally making money off of shit.

Sorry. It just drives me nuts, seeing yet another remake of a film from that era, another TV show, whatever, inflicted on us. Nothing new under the sun? Maybe not, but we can do better than that.

Sheesh, people.
