I planned my entire weekend around a TV show.
Last week.
I have not done that since the third grade.
I have long since forgotten how to program a VCR to record missed shows, and am not even sure if VHS is available.
I don't DVR.
In my hectic life, if I miss it it's not a big deal.
Except for this weekend.
I had to watch The Golden Globe Awards.
This award show, a sneak peek into the Oscar hopefuls, is chock full of fancy dresses, red carpets and the ultimate question, 'who are you wearing?'
But that's not why I watch.
I watch, because of Ricky Gervais.
Gervais is the funny kid at the back of the classroom whispering offensive one liners about the popular kids.
Ricky is handed a microphone and asked to come up front and share what he has to say, and he does.
The best part is the camera that pans the audience to reveal the shocked and offended faces.
Their 'how dare he' attitudes showing.
His very British accent making it all the more funny and proper.
He offends with a smile.
He pushes the envelope and crosses the line.
They cringe and attempt to fight back.
He wins, everytime.
These people dripping in diamonds, and designer clothes with the least important profession and highest income potential are the perfect target.
He calls them out and jabs their vulnerable egos, and this makes me chuckle.
And that is must-see TV.
