Take a Little Time to Enjoy the View

Regis is really old. Drew Carey is a yo-yo dieter. Springer and that other chair-throwing show scare me about America's future. The View? I am not enjoying it.
I turn the t.v.on in the morning for news, and keep it on because turning it off is so lonely. Me no likey. I need a schedule. (and I need to understand what is happening on the Bold and the Beautiful). Let's see here, if I were to design a television show...
