HARRY FROM WORK

Being the father of two young children who watch plenty of TV, I've seen many awful kids shows over the years.

Dora the Explorer - Brutal

Teletubbies - I'd rather drink piss

Land Before Time - Pretty much stench

Barney - I'm ready to swallow a .44

If it weren't for Spongebob and Kim Possible (you all know how I feel about her), I might consider enforcing the no-TV rule for the kids.

Well, just yesterday, while watching TV with young Kurt, I stumbled across the worst kid show in the history of awful kid shows.

It is called Hip Hop Harry.

Just think of Barney, M.C. Hammer and the Philly Phanatic all rolled into one.

It's bascially the same idea as Barney - a big fuzzy thing teaching kids about reading, writing, the five sense, the basic food groups, crap like that. However, while Harry talks like a wanna be gansta and does every Hip Hop hand gestures with the exception of grabbing his crotch. He ever wears some bling - a obnoxious medallion with a big 'H" on it. He even yells "It's On" at the beginning of the show.

And of course the songs are awful. He pretty much raps about manners and washing your hands and nonsense like that.

How awful is it? Even my kids recognize as awful and goof on it.

If you want to check it out, it's on Discovery Kids channel. I would think a 30-pack or some Mary Jane would certainly add to the entertainment.

On a much more serious note, I finally brought myself to watch United 93 last night and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. This movie is awesome. If you haven't seen it, you should. It's that good. The best thing about it is it doesn't cheapen 9/11 or give it the Hollywood treatment. The movie makers did it exactly right. How this wasn't considered for an Oscar other than best editing is beyond me.

Not much else to report. The Pendleton's are probable for Belmar tomorrow but Mom Nature will make the final call there.

Beer count at 24. I had one Thursday night as I prepared to watch a new episode of The Office. However, it was a repeat. As great of a show that it is, is there one that shows as many repeats as The Office? For goodness sakes, Medium has shown a new episode for 8 straight weeks.

Maybe NBC is even getting tired of Jim making that stupid face every two seconds.

Speaking of Medium, I totally forgot to put Allison DuBois (above) in my top 10 TV hotties. Awful job by my part. I should be ripped. As the Stones once sang, she could "make a dead man. . ." you know the rest.

Pendleton . . . OUT.
