Television: imitative, repetitive, umimaginative

Okay, Conan O'Brien's show is an empty, sad imitation of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, as I said the other day and last evening I discovered that "How I Met Your Mother" is a blatant, shallow, hollow attempt at repeating the success, such as it was, of "Friends".

Really, people.

You can do much better.

It reminds me of the old song:

"Blow up the TV..."


Think happy thoughts and have a great day and weekend.

Conan O'Brien's show

Am I the only one who thinks Conan O'Brien and/or some executives got together (a few times now) and have said, aloud, that what they need to do is do their best to totally re-create the old Johnny Carson "Tonight Show", right down to the set and the fat sidekick?

I saw his new show on TBS and that's precisely what I came away with.

Except Conan isn't as funny.

By a long shot.

And Johnny never seemed desperate.

Yikes.
