I haven't seen the show Reunion yet, and as I have absolutely no intention of sitting through it even once this season, I won't even be able to devote what I'm sure would have been a worthy edition of Bad TV Ponderings to the show.
However, as a man fast approaching his 20th high school reunion, and who attended festivities associated with his 10th (though not the reunion itself...no open bar? WTF?), I can safely say that the show is already doomed.
It's not because of the gimmick, in which each episode of the show chronicles a successive year (tonight is 1986, next week is 1987, and so on up to 2006). No, I'm talking about something even more outlandish, which is Fox's suggestion that out of a group of six friends (three of whom are men) not one person became fat, bald, or both after 20 years' passage of time. The best they appear to have come up with is frosting one of the male actor's hair with silver spray paint.
Forget the new version of Battlestar Galactica, here's the year's best science fiction show.
We'll have to compare notes.
That conversation's going to be a bit one-sided, I already said I don't intend to watch it.
I'm saving all my viewing time for "According to Jim." That Belushi...
Love the Grosse Pointe Blank reference -- LOVE IT! Joan Cusack is classic in that movie.
P.S. I'm recording Reunion to see if it's as bad as I'm expecting it to be. We'll have to compare notes.
