I was expecting the TiVo to be recording Last Comic Standing tonight. After all, it is the finale episode. Instead, I find “Father of the Pride” on. What? Where is the funny stuff?
I check the TiVo’s recording list – it says that it isn’t recording the show because it’s no longer in the lineup. Yeah, noticed that. “Father of the Pride” is ok, but not what I want to watch tonight. Where is the comedy?
Then I went to the website. “Watch the Father of the Pride Marathon TONIGHT to find out who is the Last Comic Standing.” WHAT?!? You want me to watch this instead of the finale I have been looking forward to? Are you guys serious?
I back the TiVo up to 7:00 to see if there is anything there. Just a commercial telling me that “Last Comic Standing will not air tonight. Watch Father of the Pride to find out who won, and the episode will air on Comedy Central later this week.”
This makes no sense, and I’m really annoyed. Why would you replace the final episode of the show with a bunch of Father of the Pride reruns? I just don’t get it.
And is it just me, or after everything that happened to Roy, isn’t it sort of creepy to have a show with him as the main character in animated form? I mean… I don’t know, I’m sure he’s ok with it (otherwise it wouldn’t be on), but it just seems odd.
UPDATE: They posted the winner information on the Last Comic Standing site and … whoo hoo! I wanted him to win!
