Lets face it. The vast majority of television is bad. And it's only worse when a writer's strike occurs. Thankfully there's The Soup. A smörgåsbord of all things awful related to television, there's no need to sift through all that garbage anymore. The host, Joel McHale and his writers, watch more TV than thought to be humanly possible.. or healthy. Each week they present the worst that they could find, or bare to watch.
The show itself is broken up into clever segments. "Chat Stew" is for talk shows, one of the most common to appear on the show is The Tyra Banks Show. "Reality Show Clip Time!" is another which is related solely to reality shows. There's also "Chicks, Man" which will focus on female celebrity news, something I'll get to later in the review. "Let's Take Some E!" is where Joel will discuss E!'s other TV shows, and each episode will end with the "Clip of the Week." It's basically the best of the best (or should I say worst of the worst) that they could find.
The Soup will also dabble into celebrity news, most of the time sticking to what works best. And that's whatever Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton were doing this week. Guest stars frequent the shows set to make appearances at the expense of themselves, or rather as a sign of admiration for the show and its cause. There's also the occasional special, where an entire episode is dedicated to one genre such as infomercials, reality shows, or game shows.
For someone like me who rarely watches television, The Soup is like a recap from the TV gods. Each week it presents you with enough laughter and wackiness to keep you coming back the next week. So remember, bad TV makes for good Soup!
