I don't have "haterism", but I have seen what might be the worst television program ever. It is the reality show, "Committed: The Christies". This 30-minute show follows the exploits of Doug Christie and his wife, Jackie. I believe the seeds for this program were sown toward the end of Doug's NBA career, when his wife was getting into all sorts of trouble. You know, Doug's hand signals communicating with Jackie during games. She helping Doug fight Rick Fox on the way to the locker room, and other shenanigans. So, some brainiac hears their profession of love for each other and thinks: Reality TV!

There were rumors that VH-1 was going to air the show. After witnessing this week's episode, it's no secret why they passed. First of all, Doug Christie was a decent NBA player, definitely not a star, and is currently not on any NBA roster. Next, you won't find this show on BET. No, they've plugged this show into BET-J (J for Jazz). Imagine. This show is so bad, even the main BET network won't show it. And the production values are high-schoolish at best. It makes for a jaw-dropping experience that has to be seen to be believed. I'll just leave you with this nugget: Jackie has seen Sasquatch, believes in elves, but does not believe in owls.

I can't do it justice, but this recap gives you all you need to know. Oh, I'm back next week.

Just say Kuo. I got home last night in time to hear this on "60 Minutes": "I'm fine with it." Which is the last line of the interview. Doh!
