The Lyrics
We’ve blown our brain cels just to view some lowly art
‘Cause you’ve watched “Heroes”, right? Or “Hart To Hart”?
And now I’ll restate this, I just reviewed it all
It’s so mediocre, pitiful, a shame-for-all
Oh-ooh-oh, it’s not so special
Oh-ooh-oh, you should do something else
Except for the news and weather forecast
I don’t watch TV much
The sitcoms are lame, and dramas lost their touch
The logic’s wrong and the stories are afright
Still the ratings roll up on your family night
I don’t like TV much
Now folks, I understand that I’m not the first to knock it
Lately I’ve been peeved, it’s my age
It’s been a long, long cold spell for a good TV docket
Such lousy attempts, ther’s no smile on my face
Oh-ooh-oh, it’s not so special
Oh-ooh-oh, you should do something else
Today’s shows are the pits
I don’t watch TV much
Reality cooks and sluts and dudes so butch
Their ethics wrong but the cash feels so right
Even the talk show wars on the networks late at night
I don’t like TV much
Please remove your eyes from the video machine
Even the PBS screws with the pledge drives their in
They make believe your cash pledge just might
Keep Big Bird healthy until next weekend, RIGHT!
Oh-ooh-oh, it’s not so special
Oh-ooh-oh, you should do something else
Now it’s “Ice Skate With The Stars”?
I don’t like TV much
Rather watch good movies than “Starsky & Hutch”
Move it along, even “The Price Is Right”—
It started getting dull when Bob Barker’s hair turned white
I don’t watch TV much
Please go to school—for some it is a crutch
Ther wrestlers strong, yeah they do have their might
But must they carry on with the glitz on Friday night?
I don’t watch TV much
I say, I’d rather go do some online surfing
Whatever!
I don’t like TV…
‘Cause you’ve watched “Heroes”, right? Or “Hart To Hart”?
And now I’ll restate this, I just reviewed it all
It’s so mediocre, pitiful, a shame-for-all
Oh-ooh-oh, it’s not so special
Oh-ooh-oh, you should do something else
Except for the news and weather forecast
I don’t watch TV much
The sitcoms are lame, and dramas lost their touch
The logic’s wrong and the stories are afright
Still the ratings roll up on your family night
I don’t like TV much
Now folks, I understand that I’m not the first to knock it
Lately I’ve been peeved, it’s my age
It’s been a long, long cold spell for a good TV docket
Such lousy attempts, ther’s no smile on my face
Oh-ooh-oh, it’s not so special
Oh-ooh-oh, you should do something else
Today’s shows are the pits
I don’t watch TV much
Reality cooks and sluts and dudes so butch
Their ethics wrong but the cash feels so right
Even the talk show wars on the networks late at night
I don’t like TV much
Please remove your eyes from the video machine
Even the PBS screws with the pledge drives their in
They make believe your cash pledge just might
Keep Big Bird healthy until next weekend, RIGHT!
Oh-ooh-oh, it’s not so special
Oh-ooh-oh, you should do something else

I'm not a big fan of TV myself there's only a few shows nowadays that I truly dig. Such as "South Park", "How I Met Your Mother", "The Simpsons", "Community", and "The Walking Dead" and even with that being the case I don't tune in religiously like some fanatics.
I loved this and I totally agree! Fave line: "Their ethics wrong but the cash feels so right"
Lord Agree, i plulled the Plug on my TV after ~MoonLighting~ left us . . . I still believe that Cybil married the wrong Brucie ! !
(Artistry) I also don't watch TV that much, but mainly because I could not be arsed. I get my Transformers fix from YouTube uploaders, that's all I need. That aside, this was pretty good, if not LOL-funny. 555
Not much to say here, I've read this before, so I'm not sure why I didn't comment---great parody Agri, I could have sworn I commented. . .oh well
Great job here, worked very well with the OS, I liked the references to shows, old and new
Love those MaddieHayes & BruceWillis reRuns, Sir !
(Artistry) However, TV is a great source of parody fodder. Lovely social comment.
