Dumb TV Crap I Think about-Movie Editon! "The Wizard of Oz"


I know it's a movie but, growing up every year they would show this on Thanksgiving so I've only ever seen it on TV, so it counts.
This is what I think, Dorothy crash lands in Oz and is immediately blamed for the death of one person, the Wicked Witch of the east. Glinda The "Good" witch gives Dorothy the dead witch's shoes and tells her she need to find the Wizard and she has to walk the entire way. Glinda floats away in her big bubble. The Wizard, in exchange for granting the wishes of her friends, tells Dorothy to steal the Wicked Witch's broom and Dorothy accidentally kills her in the process. Then, after all that, Glinda tells Dorothy she could have gone home anytime she wanted. I would be pissed. I'd be like; "Are you serious? You put me through all this shit and I could have gone home anytime WTF? I KILLED SOMEONE!"
I have come to the conclusion that Glinda is as much a villain in this story as the Wicked Witch of the West. She wanted to protect her image so she took advantage of an innocent stranger in order to eliminate two rivals.

Dumb TV Crap I Think About- Land of the Lost


With the release of the film version of "Land of the Lost" I recalled a thought I had about the original series when I was a kid.
What is the land of the lost? It occurred to me that this place was full of extinct creatures and this family, the Marshals, just happens to be white water rafting when the earth opens up right in front of them and they fall in. So now there are humans here. What if this place is some kind of preserve for extinct animals does that mean humans are now extinct? If that's so, can the Marshal family never escape because there is nowhere to go? I've had this rolling around in my head for years. Glad I could finally share.

Dumb TV Crap I think about-The Jetsons


Something that always bothered about The Jetsons.
George Jetson works for "Spacely Sprockets" and their main competitor was "Cogswell Cogs" and I can't recall seeing much of anything that needed sprockets or cogs. Seriously they have flying cars, live in a floating suburb and everything is push button. So why the hell are sprockets and cogs such a big industry in the future? OK so maybe Rosie the Robot may have needed some cogs but more than likely her limbs would be hydraulic.
