Westminster Dog Show Blues
I love the Westminster dog show. I don’t have a dog, and I never have, but I love them, and the Westminster dog show is a great way to sit back, look at dogs, and imagine owning one.
Here’s my beef though, and it’s not with the dog show as much as it is with the Discovery Channel.
I have no idea when this event takes place, and the show is broadcast then re-run pretty much all year round. When I look at the channel guide, I see it all the time, yet I never know whether it’s this year’s or last year’s.
Imagine if TSN showed the Super Bowl every Sunday, with just the label “Super Bowl” in the title.
I admit, the comparison breaks down, because honestly, I don’t really care who wins the dog show. I also don’t really admire the breeding differences between players, though running backs, quarterbacks, linemen and kickers do all seem to come from different species.
