Remember when TLC was nearly indistinguishable from The Discovery Channel? I don’t know when they got on the baby/pageant/monkey-baby kick. What a weird channel.

Pageants also creep me out a bit. Especially the little-kid pageants. I guess the teen/adult ones are less creepy than they are kind of sad and weird. Though, really, if it weren’t for pageants, the fine art of baton twirling might just die out altogether.

It seems like the TLC executives locked themselves in a room a few years ago with all the Christopher Guest mockumentaries and said, “Yes! That is exactly what we need. Except with real people.”

There’s very little difference, it seems to me, between those two things. In fact, the only difference might be that people like Cy are a little funnier when played by Fred Willard. And real people are even crazier and more pitifully bent on being on television than Christopher Guest would have, um, guessed.

Welcome, Roxane! You rock.
