Yet Another BB Thrashing: Boston Herald
Ricmunoz | Saturday, September 02, 2000 - 10:00 pm  The writer minces no words--it's vicious and unrelenting. Nothing out of the ordinary, actually. I used to be self-conscious about loving such a villified show. It's now become SUCH a camp that I wouldn't abandon it even if it were to get 10 times worse than it already is. BB might one day achieve legendary status a la "Valley of the Dolls"--a film so outrageously wretched that its campy lines provided miles of laughs. At least we can say that BB has provided a motley little collection of laughs too. http://www.bostonherald.com/entertainment/television/tvco08292000.htm |
Zappre | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 12:30 am  After reading this startlingly venemous article, I wrote the author as follows: "Wow. After reading your Big Brother diatribe i'm having flashbacks to Sue's venemous rant on the final Survivor. The show is no Emmy contender, but to read your take on things, each and every person involved in this project deserves to be unceremoniously lined up and shot in the head. My dear, it's just a TV show, and an obscure one at that. To have it rile you up that much, suggests that you have many more pressing issues than being forced to watch an underacheiving TV contest (and the detail with which you describe the comings and goings suggests you're spending alot of time watching that which you subscribe to abhor). I'll look forward to your next article on the evil pug and its contribution to the erosion of moral values in America. Critique laced with humor can be amusing. What you wrote said alot more about your need to denegrate people (that's right, they are human beings) to elevate yourself, than it does about the insignificant little show. Get over yourself." Just thought you'd be interested. |
Ricmunoz | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 01:31 am  Excellent, Zappre, thanks for letting Ms. Collins (maybe she's kin to William?) know your thoughts. I also contributed to Monica's 'guestbook' but all I basically offered was that her article topped the "Most Vicious" BB hit-list. I couldn't help but praise her line about Cassandra and "Petticoat Junction"--I almost peed my pants, I was laughing so hard. |
Anovarho | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 12:22 pm  It wasn't nice of her to make that insulting remark about trailer homes. LOL |
Maggie | Sunday, September 03, 2000 - 04:31 pm  I like the comment about Jamie. Wish someone would throw a tennis ball over with the paragraph on Jamie. |
Russ702 | Monday, September 04, 2000 - 11:47 pm  Not to mention she doesn't even know how the show ends. The rest of her "facts" must be equally inaccurate. |
Dee | Sunday, September 10, 2000 - 09:39 am  Zappre -- well written!! |
