I was all set to be righteously angry with the History Channel last night. First, they moved Jurassic Fight Club from its perfect 9PM Tuesday timeslot to 10PM Wednesday, and then last week, they pre-empted it entirely for old episodes of Ice Road Truckers, the dullest History Channel show currently on air. I thought they'd done the same thing again because my channel guide listed Ice Road Truckers, and so I'd resigned myself to watching a hideously dull CSI:NY S4 repeat solely for the fleeting Flack pretty.
On a whim, I turned to the History Channel just to be sure. Dinosaurs! Flack, I love you, and I'll make it up to you with scads of fictional sex, but...but dinosaurs. Clicky!
This episode was a little dull, truth be told, with too many lizards in play, and the mood was further hampered by the addition of two new nerds who stole thunder from Dr. "Dinosaur George" Blansing. One looked like an anorexic hippie minstrel they found in the corner of a Seattle Starbucks, a long-haired waif strumming his acoustic guitar and abjuring lesbian seagulls to fly with him. The other addition looked like Stewart from Beavis and Butthead as an adult. I couldn't see it, but I bet he was wearing a Winger T-shirt. Neither of them was as cool or enthusiastic as "Dinosaur George". Boo!
It might've been tepid, but the episode was still better than anything else that night, including and especially rehashed CSI:NY. The more I watch, the more I'm convinced S4 was an abomination. At least if the show sucks this year, I'll have shiny, shiny dinosaurs to console me.
Next week, they're showing Meglodon versus a giant sperm whale. Awesome.
I do wonder why they moved the show to a different night and time. I noticed that they dispensed with the graphic violence warning. Maybe some tight-pantied parent got all het up at the possibility of her lumpkin seeing Barney eat a bitch.
Hey, kids! Barney wants to eat your liver. Sweet dreams.
