I've always known that television is a succubus, but being home sick today, I now know it's much worse than that.
The Greg Behrendt show is on right now. He's the guy that was a consultant for two 2001 episodes of Sex and the City, and co-wrote the books He's Just Not That Into You and It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken.
I can appreciate that this guy had some insight for women (and men) into dating and what the pitfalls and upsides were to relationships. After all, he'd been there and his experiences were interesting and valid, at the time. However, what I can't fathom is the need for every author-come-lately or personality with a catch-phrase to get their own talk show. We get it, you have an opinion, but why does everyone in the free world have to hear it?
Today's show is focusing on couples who are facing tough times in the first year of their marriage. His guest speakers today: Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry. They were invited on to share their newlywed secrets. WTF? Who gives a rats ass what two has beens are going through? These are the same people that wed after meeting on a staged and quite insanely mundane reality show, VH1's fourth season of The Surreal Life. Give me a break!

This proves yet again that everyone gets their 15 minutes. In about a year you'll forget the guys name. Otherwise, change the channel.
