DIE IN A FIRE, TLC. Now that we’ve freed ourselves from the effing Gosselin family, TLC is serving up a show called “Table for 12.” From the New York Post: “The Hayes family, from Central New Jersey (Marlboro), has three sets of multiples via fertility treatments — two sets of twins plus sextuplets — and they’re coming to primetime just as the Gosselins’ bright tabloid star is setting.” So. Much. Hate. Filling my body. Blackness. Flames.
I’M VERY SERIOUS ABOUT TLC DYING IN A FIRE. Three words: “Cake Boss” spin-off. It’s only a web series for now. But the Nazis didn’t stop at the Sudetenland, did they?
NBC GREENLIGHTS CRIME-SOLVING MAGICIAN. Yeah, those words just happened. Crime-solving magician. Variety: “The concept centers on a master magician whose career is in ruins after he develops stage fright and agoraphobia; an elite law enforcement agency recruits him to take an unusual approach to cracking tough cases.” *praying* Listen, God, I’m sorry if I’ve doubted you recently. Just send the swarms of locusts, okay? Anything but this. Amen.

I bet Kate ran off wth some guy who works at TLC. The only explanation why they are sticking with her and destroying Jon.
They should have left the family alone, they had enough problems. Who watches these train wrecks? People who think the daytime talk shows don’t do enough of a deep job in raking people over the coals?
As for crime solving magicians, Hal Linden in Blacke’s Magic says hi. There’s no way these guys are gonna touch that.
The only “reality” shows I watch are Amazing Race (for the different countries) and the Dancing ones. The rest are all worse works than pro wrestliong. At least Pro wrestling is pretty open that everything you see is a work.
There are only two crime solving magicians I will even acknowledge:
Bill Bixby and Harry Dresden.
Fuck the rest.
Magic cop is nothing new to the black community.
Cops search their cars and when they dont find anything incriminating, it magically falls out of the cops pocket and into the glove department.
Remember when TLC was about learning?
I’m waiting for the show “Bukkake Boss”. Just a matter of time until it airs on Japanese tv.
In the pilot, he solves a missing person case using a giant box with a red curtain.
Nothing says creative like raping your archives.
well, for the magician, NBC still HAS to keep leno under contract somehow
Sure it will be awful, but I defy you to find anything on this planet that will truly test your capacity to hate more than the show on Bravo about the three effeminate shit-weasels who sell real-estate in Beverly Hills.
I’m a half-hour’s drive from this Hayes family. So, y’know, for the right price …
“The concept centers on a master magician whose career is in ruins after he develops stage fright and agoraphobia; an elite law enforcement agency recruits him to take an unusual approach to cracking tough cases.”
Monk learned magic? Awesome!
Cupcake Boss? Cake Boss: Trenton? Cake Boss: Special Frosting Unit? My head is spinning.

i’m not calling TLC racist, but… every black chick in dade county has 12 kids, and none of them got a reality show.
Unless that crime solving magician is named GOB Bluth, this show will last 2 episodes.
Crime-solving magician? Sounds like the perfect vehicle to bring back Ed Alonzo AKA Max from The Max.
People that keep watching that shit on TLC also need to die in a fire.
