‘that guy’ who makes resolutely boring/unfunny television shows..spits the dummy ‘cos he gets a review calling it like it is..(heh..!..)

(it’s sorta like he/they try to do what casserly and wells do so well..and fail miserably at it..eh..?)

“..People often walk up to me in the street and say, “Hey, great show the other night. Really enjoyed it, but how do you handle bad reviews?”

Often I will say, “Well, I have never really had one.” A case in point is my latest hot review from Herald “TV Eye” columnist Linda Herrick.

“I assume Leigh Hart can be quite amusing but there were so many things wrong with the first episode,” she wrote.

“The mystery is how this series came into being, let alone be scheduled on TV One.”

It is on TV One because TVNZ decided to put it there – that seems quite straightforward. But as to how it came into being, I have no idea.

One minute I was writing 350-word columns, like Linda, at less than $1 a word, and the next I was nut deep in the Amazon, fighting for my life, praying that a canero fish wasn’t going to swim up my urethra and lodge itself up my penis.

“Hart… spent the rest of the tedious hour lurking around the backwoods of Ohio pretending to search for Bigfoot.

Abetted by a ridiculous drawled voiceover, crashing background music and shots of obese Americans ..

.. Hart spouted cliched nonsense and interviewed boring people.”

(and an ‘amen!’ to that..eh..?)
