Aardvark

Among the things that kept me away from a career in broadcasting, or better to say, the TV studio at Central Michigan University (where this show was shot) was the sorry, half-hearted, pretentious, and overblown garbage such as "Aardvark". Of all the times I watched this show, it was flat-out dull and unfunny, shot by a bunch of long-haired (what is it about broadcasting students and long hair? Mine wasn't) untalented wannabees who think what they're doing is the best thing since George Carlin popped out of his mother's womb. Well, I now know why CMU had a Public Broadcasting station. It's a lot better than this D.O.A. junk.

Well, it really wasn't wildly entertaining. It was horrible. But I'm still annoyed that my name isn't in the credits for several acting appearances, a couple of sketches I directed, and one I wrote ("The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon" news report). Okay, even those were awful, but I wasn't even getting paid scale. Nonetheless, Ryan Hopak and Matt Schutt put a lot of effort into the show, and the both of them deserve credit for that. Seeing Ryan flying around as a superhero was entertaining in it's own right. What you really wanted to watch was Pick the Flick from the same television production studio. Now THAT was good television (So I co-produced and directed it. Does that make me so unbiased?).
