REASONS I SHOULD HIDE MY TV REMOTE
1. Sitcoms with less-than-attractive male leads "married" to quite-attractive second-banana "wives."

3. Reality shows starring rich people, bachelors, or bachelorettes.
4. TV shows with Southern plots or themes -- fiction or non-fiction -- that strike up the harmonicas as background music. ("Hey, Maw! Put on your shoes: cumpny's comin'!")
5. Jack Osbourne's hair.
6. Fox News.
7. Room makeover shows that are long on shtick but create ugly rooms in the process.
8. Larry King, Peter Jennings, Aaron Brown, and Bill O'Reilly.
