I officially declare today Cheesy Music Sunday. Right now, I'm listening to "Kung Fu Fighting". Earlier, I was listening to Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now". Later, I will be listening to "Disco Inferno".

I'd like to dedicate Cheesy Music Sunday to Anne Rice's editor, who no doubt goes home every night, drinks everything in sight, and wishes over and over again that the Goblin King would come and take her away. (Take the editor away, not Anne Rice. Hey, why waste Labyrinth!David Bowie on Anne Rice?)

Dear God,

We here at Celestial Cable have noticed by watching the obituaries of our local newspaper that we may have a slight problem on our hands. Considering those famous people who've passed on this year, we checked our records and realized that you've only been getting VH-1 (Maurice Gibb, Johnny Cash, Warren Zevon, Barry White), TV Land (Gordon Jump, Buddy Ebsen, John Ritter, Nell Carter), Turner Classic Movies (Donald O'Connor, Katherine Hepburn, Bob Hope, Gregory Peck, Hume Cronyn), HBO (Charles Bronson, Gregory Hines), and PBS (Mr. Rogers).

We apologize profusely and, in an effort to restore some sort of balance to the universe, have left you with only MTV, reality programming, "Street Smarts", and C-SPAN. Also, if Carson Daly is not smited within the next week and a half, you will be receiving the collected works of Anne Rice.

We'd say more, but a very annoyed man with a sickle is standing behind us while we type this.

Sincerely,

Celestial Cable

EDIT: To those of you who don't take the jaunt over to my uncle Jim's column, well ... let's put it this way. I suddenly have a new appreciation for Jennifer Lopez.

I should stop watching the trailers on Apple. I get icon ideas and that's never good.

( Yeah, I don't get why I watched the Charmed season premiere, either. )

Oh, and the WB's new season promos ... Tarzan? Me want. My birthday's in an hour and thirty-eight minutes. Me have Tarzan? *puppy-dog eyes*

And the Seventh Heaven commercials are as annoying as fuck. Look, Simon hit someone with his car. It was an accident. What the hell is up with this whole over-persecution bit? Spray-painting "Thou Shalt Not Kill" on the church's sign? Running the kid out of town? Hell, as much as I might like to see the sanctimonious characters on that show get burned at the stake, that right there? That's just a tad extreme.

Dude, could those promos for the season premiere of Smallville get any slashier? All Clark, all Lex, all the time! "Two lives ... bound by fate ..." I half-expect them to end with a shot of Clark and Lex having incredibly flexible "I should have been screwing you this summer!" sex atop the desk in Lex's office while Lex sings, "At last, my prince has come ..."

Quite frankly, I can't begin to express the amount of bitter disappointment I feel when I don't get that.
