Late Late Night TV

Have you noticed that if you are one of the many people who are afflicted with insomnia; and you resort to watching late night television to drip into slumber the viewing is an insult to your intelligence?

I am inclined to think the people who make the decisions about Saturday television programming are the same ones who determine late night programming...and they're not very happy people at all.

Late night programming is comprised of as many Friends, Will and Grace, and Golden Girls reruns as you can find. Am I supposed to laugh myself to sleep? As the hour gets later the pick ins' are slimmer, Twilight Zone and my favorite, Paid Programming, are there to lull you into dreamland. Evidently the zone of no sleep is not enough; if you can't sleep you must want to shop!

Look programmers I can't sleep, I don't need to purchase makeup, exercise videos, or no money down real estate programs that will be profiling the sellers on 60 Minutes or 20/20 as having duped people out of their money one week after the purchase. I don't need to see young women entwined suggestively with telephone cords telling me they're "waiting for my call"; my call would be to say: "does your mother know what you're doing?" I don't personally know anyone who wears that mineral makeup and I'm not going to be the first. I've used Proactiv and liked it, but if I have to see one more close up of P Diddy's or Jessica Simpson's pimply mugs well, I won't be responsible for my actions. I get it-acne is no respecter of persons.

I don't know exactly what I'd like to see at that time of the night uh...morning, but I do know that if you continue to show inane filler crap that assumes that I'm fat, lonely, horny, and have either the funkiest job on earth or no job at all and I need a "get rich quick" scheme, well hell hath no fury like a woman who can't sleep!
