Biographies

I'm a huge fan of biographies. Not because I really care much about the people who are in these shows, but it does give me something to watch when nothing else is on. They can make anyone look like they were superstars on that channel. There are lots of times I'm watching the show and think "Wow! How could I have been so much into my own world that I didn't notice Right Said Fred was the it band for so long! Here I thought they only really had one song, and all along they were a world-wide success with more than one album!"

I would however like to ask the producers of these shows a question. I watch the show and they have contacted every friend, relative and ex spouse of these people. They ask them questions and spend seemingly hours and hours interviewing them! The details and research that goes into just this one hour is amazing. What they AREN'T willing to do however is get any more than about 2-3 clips of the person the biography is about. WHY IS THIS? Do they get so tired of the person, that they say "Hey Joe- just grab whatever crap you can find on youtube. No one will care." Or is it that they enjoy torturing me with the same clip of Shelley Long walking into the bar with the smirk on her face?

I'm just saying...
