I think I just decided to swear off of TBS, at least for a while. There really are only a select few programs I enjoy on TBS, and 90% of it is Family Guy. And then they mainly cater to the low-brow, missing-link type of individual who still enjoys a good Tyler Perry Comedy. Today I call on all of you, young and old, male and female, black or white, right or left handed, to boycott TBS.

Since I am unintentionally resistant to technologies that would revolutionize my life because I’m cheap, I have yet to have a TIVO type DVR device in my home. During the last several seconds of Family Guy last night before cutting to a commercial, Bill Engvall, Crusading Knight of the culturally destructive (and unnecessary to mention ‘retarded’) Blue Collar Comedy Tour, pops up from the bottom of the screen. Needless to say, the executives at TBS, with razor sharp exactitude have again nailed their proposed demographic, even Peking Man would stir a little in the dust with interest.

Generally TBS and other networks will do this kind of promotion to expose their advertising to the commercial-skipping TIVO population: a little annoying animated snippet at the bottom of your screen during a television program. This time, however Bill paused the show mid-joke and basically said, ‘Sorry for the interruption, please, please watch my show. If you don’t, I’ll probably have to go back to turning tricks out of my North Hollywood trailer.’ There was a little reading between the lines on my part.

Shortly after his 15 second pitch, he unpauses Family Guy with his faux remote, and another several seconds later, Family Guy ends, and a full-length Bill Engvall Show commercial starts. How desperate and shitty can your programming be to pull such a boner? Join me in boycotting TBS.
