And Still I Rise

Dr Phil.It was bad enough listening to his self serving stuff on Oprah,(whose show by the way is fast becoming a major irritant) but horror of horrors the man now has his own show.Is there anything Dr Phil doesn't know?Having an adoring audience lapping up your every syllable must work wonders.Can somebody tell me why a fat man is giving advice about diet? It makes me question advice that you yourself don't appear to be heeding.

The Nanny aka Fran Drescher.She is the reason I can only take the Nanny in small doses.I actually like the show,fairly good premise and all but that voice drives me up a wall.Maxwell Sheffield deserves a sainthood for living with Fran all those years and remaining sane.Saw an ad for a new-well to me at least sitcom with Fran which means the voice is still around to torture us once more.

Elmo.Sesame Street used to be a cool place with some equally cool puppets like Grover,Cookie Monster et al.One day a red furball named Elmo showed up and refused to leave.Neither funny or cool Elmo seemed to be everywhere and succeeded in lessening the other fun muppets airtime.The last straw was when Elmo got his own half hour spot-the very annoying Elmo's World.That's when I knew Sesame Street had lost the plot.

Scooby Doo.Lol,I'll probably get shot for this but what manner of dog is this?Always hungry,always scared of literally his own shadow.Actually,the whole show is real silly and this is coming from a person who loves animation.Bugs is fine,he got spunk and not afraid to antagonise and my fave Daffy talks a good game.Scooby,on the other hand has not an ounce of courage,charisma or anything that makes him vaguely interesting to me.His entire life is spent running from monsters,who when unmasked would make any self respecting dog cringe.Come on Scooby,grow some balls.

Bill O'Reilly.Ok,I confess to religiously watching the O'Reilly Factor but yet its host makes my most annoying list.Paradox,you say? Well to tell the truth my attraction is watching some one be so wrong so often.And the most amazing thing is O'Reilly seems absolutely convinced that he is 100% correct on his rantings.Got to love the irony of his No spin Zone which is intent on being a mouthpiece for the Republicans.

Melissa and Joan Rivers.The fashion experts formerly of E and now residing on TV Guide Channel.How can two women who are definitely not attractive neither do they dress particularly well have so much to say about the red carpet stars?The irony is that many a show their own outfits can definitely make their own worst dressed list.I particularly love it when Joan gets it wrong e,g congratulating a star for being nominated only to learn he/she is a presenter.

Special mention to Steve Irwin ,who am I secretly wishing would get bitten by the croc .
