Last night I sat down to watch nothing on the 300+ channels Comcast provides and was surprised, no not really surprised but more or less resolved to see The Weather Channel has become a lemming.
Every channel nowadays has THE 50 GREATEST or THE ALL-TIME BEST, WICKEDEST, WILDEST WHATEVER. VH1 is a classic example. On any given day of the week they are host to any of the following: 50 Greatest Teen Idols, 50 Greatest Moments in Hip-Hop, or my personal favorite 50 Greatest Women of the Video Era. It is getting a bit ridiculous in my opinion I mean do we really have enough time to sit and watch five hours of anything to learn Whitney Houston is #3 of all Video Mavens? Plus, who comes up with these lists?
Well now The Weather Channel has gone and put together their own list of THE 100 BIGGEST WEATHER MOMENTS hosted by Harry Connick Jr. The Harry Connick Jr. part is definitely the best part of the whole concept, but really was this necessary? I can just imagine the meteorologists scurrying around trying to rank whether (no pun intended) Punxsutawney Phil should be at #89 or #88.
The list is rather confusing upon first glance and then continues to confound when you try to figure out why in the world would The Cotton Bowl (#69) or Hollywood Becomes the Film Capitol (#61) make the list. Huh?
Did I mention The Weather Channel itself made the list of the 100 Lamest Weather Moments? They were #25.
There is no shame.

i sometimes pause at the Weather Channel and wonder what it's all about.
no need to think on that one any further, i guess.
now if i could just pry my eyes off bravo and the food network.
having a crush on bobby flay is just plain silly.
