A&E Becomes the Infomercial Channel with Kirstie Alley’s New Show
Tweet
Kirstie Alley has a new reality show debuting in a month about how fat she is and how she wants to loose wight and be happy. And how she’s started her own weight loss company. So basically the A&E show is an informercial for her product line. At least A&E admits it:
One major theme in the series will be chronicling Kirstie’s comedic and unique take on her battle with weight loss, which coincides with the launch of her new weight loss company.
Yesterday Alley was on Oprah shilling her supplements
I’ve lost twenty pounds since January using them!
and oversharing about her obsession with Jamie Foxx who appeared via satellite and participated a webcam make-out session with Alley. It was kinda gross.
But not as gross as Oprah and A&E acting like a Sham Wow pitch for Alley’s herb and mineral mixture.
It’s sad to see what A&E has devolved into. Home improvement shows, Dog the Mullet Head, Intervention, Midgets On Parade, My Giant Head, a ton of garbage I won’t watch.
Pity. In 1997 I saw a 2 hour special on Scientology; Investigative Reports with Bill Kurtis. It got me looking and researching the cult, and brought me in to grass-roots activism.
And now, this sad, fat Scientology superbeing has somehow convinced A&E that people actually give a damn about a whiny, self-indulgent, self-centered joke of a Scientology Operating Thetan who can’t even shed the pounds. For Jenny Craig, Alley claimed to have lost over 50 lbs. on the program, and immediately gained it all back again.
Or, she just lost the same pound over 50 times.
Kirstie the Hutt is visually and mentally offensive. She seems to focus on her lack of sex life a lot, and just the mental image of her knockin’ boots puts me off my feed. She’s not funny, not super, crass, rude, classless and coarse.
But she does have nice hair…
