We are surely about to witness a strange, strange January, and as evidence - this from ABC: "Homeland Security USA.".... Read this logline for the newbie that arrives Jan. 6 at 8: "Every day the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security patrol more than 100,000 miles of America's borders. This territory includes airports, seaports, land borders, international mail centers, the open seas, mountains, deserts and even cyberspace. Now viewers will get an unprecedented look at the work of these men and women while they use the newest technology to safeguard our country and enforce our laws, in "Homeland Security USA," which debuts with the episode "This is Your Car on Drugs."
I suppose I should start by disclosing the fact that I DETEST reality shows. The fact that there's nothing remotely real about them only proves that it's a Hollywood conspiracy to kill off the art of screenwriting. Whoever came up with this brain-dead concept, though, ought to be ashamed for even drawing a paycheck. Anyone who's gone through an airport security checkpoint- and I imagine that, by now, that's probably most of us- will likely be wondering whether this abortion will be listed under "Comedy" or "Theater of the Absurd".
Sometimes the jokes...well, they almost write themselves, eh?? Who says television isn't a vast wasteland?
