The TV Zone

Is it just me...or is this new Jay Leno promo that the network's getting the blogorati, from sea to shining sea, to post...unbearably awful?

Yes, it's awful. Painful, even. (No, I take that back. Fox reality shows, with the exception of "American Idol," on some nights, but not all nights, are painful; and then, there's TV Land's "The Cougar." "The Bachelorette" is arriving May 18. That could set a new standard, but the new bachelorette seems nice. Ryan Seacrest reality shows? Maybe those set the standard of true awfulness. Digress, digress...)

Five nights a week of this? Week after week? Month after month? Year after year?

I'm sure "The Jay Leno Show" will be just fine. Jay's a great showman, so he'll figure it out. But what's that line about putting the best foot forward...?

What do I know? Maybe you'll find this brilliant. Let me know if you do...
