The Talent Show

I love those family sitcoms. Their wholesome brand of humor gives me a chuckle, without subjecting me to any unsavory material. What’s more, I never have to worry about missing a joke, thanks to the convenient laugh track cues. But what I enjoy most about these programs isn’t their clever dialogue or those hilarious situations, it’s the inevitable episode I like to call “The Talent Show.”

Did you know those great kids on your favorite TV shows can do a lot more than act? It’s true. They can dance. They can sing. They can do both at the same time. Wouldn’t you like to see that? Of course you would. And now you can. Thanks to…The Talent Show Episode!

Don’t worry, those clever writers will figure out a way to work it into the plot. Maybe the school is putting on a play. Or perhaps it’s to raise money for charity. Better yet, maybe it’s just a dream! It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that the kids finally get a chance to show their stuff. And, boy, do they ever! Who would’ve thought that little girl could belt out a tune like that? And the dancing! Amazing. It’s as if they had a professional choreographer. But that wouldn’t make sense. I mean, they’re just supposed to be average kids, right?

Whatever the case, the Talent show is an episode I look forward to watching every year. Then again, there are some people who might disagree. They might say, “It’s just a bunch of spoiled rich kids looking to get a recording contract.” Eh, what do they know? A lot. The Talent Show sucks.
