99 Words About … The disposable weirdness of truTV
It’s the best thing on while you’re waiting for something good.
Whether you’ve got five minutes or an hour, odds are truTV is showing some fool breaking his head on something like "World’s Dumbest Hillbillies 17."
Otherwise, truTV functions like a busted Xerox. Enjoy "Pawn Stars"? Try "Hardcore Pawn." Love "Storage Wars" or "Auction Hunters"? Check out "Storage Hunters."
TruTV even rips off itself with four towing shows — four more than anyone needs. And their names — "Lizard Lick Towing," "Bear Swamp Recovery" — are better than anything you’ll see onscreen.
But you probably won’t be watching long enough to care.
