Maury Povich Show

I watch the WGN News at Noon everyday.  Usually, I sitting at my computer and I look up occassionally at the tv.  Immediately following the news, channel 9's drama block begins.  It kicks off with the Maury Povich Show, and that's my cue to change the channel.  Trouble is, I rarely change the channel.  I don't like this show.  The guests are ridiculous, and Maury's incessant pretending to "want to help" grates on my nerves.  But, I don't change the channel.  In fact, I leave the remote control out of hand's reach.  What's wrong with me?

I am able to muster the strength to change the channel when The Bill Cunningham Show comes on. Now that one, I will not tolerate.  The two shows are very similar; distraught women trying to figure
out who's their "baby daddy" (I hate that term) and punkish men denying paternity.  Granted, sometimes the guy isn't the father, but still, they act so clownish, they make me sick.  But I really can't stand the Bill Cunningham Show.  When he was on the radio (and for all I know he may still be on), he would go on and on and on about values and family and personal responsibility, and this is his contribution to upholding those things?  Exploiting the easily exploitable?  No thanks.

So the challenge for me now is to find a way to get the remote control closer to me so that I can change the channel at will.  I must admit, I might miss those screaching women, who run off the stage and fall on the floor, kicking and screaming when they learn that the sleazy guy they thought was their baby daddy isn't.
