Much of truTV's primetime stock seems designed for viewers who would have difficulty distinguishing their remote from their Red Bull. Why else would fallen celebrities Tonya Harding, Todd Bridges and Leif Garrett be selected - rewarded for their criminal pasts - to host the network's "World's Dumbest" series? truTV's promos seem designed to make it clear that the network has entered a very competitive market: Going as low as possible, and then a little lower."

The move to "truTV" has to be among the top 500 (of thousands, since there are so many) MOST STUPID MOVES in television in, well, just the past year. The stupidity level of television programmers just gone to its lowest point in the last few years–and that's saying something. TruTV, starting with its stupid name, has become one of the worst, one of the most terrible, one of the most stupid, channels on all of television. The programming move was just incredibly, astoundingly STUPID.
