Hogan Doesn't Know Best


Occasionally I need inspiration for what my blog topics and go searching through the Internet and TV and whatever else i feel like. Today, I happen to choose the good old television. As I was flipping through the channels, I came upon court TV. HA. Who watches Court TV? Well, me apparently because that is exactly where I found what I was looking for. There, I saw a sorrowed looking Nick Hogan reading an apology off a piece of paper in a court room. I hadn't known Nick done anything, but quickly learned that he was charged and receive eight months in prison for felony reckless driving that left his friend severally and critically injured, to a point where he needs care the rest of his life. I was sad to hear about his friend, but I felt no shock or surprise at all to know that Nick was involved in a car accident.


Let me rewind. A couple of years ago, the Hogan family gained their 15 minutes of fame through a reality show on VH1 called Hogan Knows Best. It followed the family around their everyday life and was frankly rather boring. The one or two episodes i actually did watch showed Nick with a love for reckless driving and fast cars. It also showed that Hulk's wife bought the family chickens as pets. Wooow. And I wonder why it got cancelled. The show also focused around the daughter, Brooke. The only thing i really have to say about Brooke is that her blond hair fit her well. Oh, and she had a "music career". This so called music career flopped around and died faster than a fish out of water. A very, very sick fish.


The other two main characters in the show were of course Hulk himself, and his wife. Even from the little of the show i saw, it didn't take a marriage counselor to see that these two had their problems. They were always squabbling about theeee dumbest things I've ever heard (minus some of the dialogue from the Hills). And what do ya know, Mr. And Mrs. Hogan filed for divorce. I wonder if the producers are going to do another season of Hogan Knows Best. I don't think I've ever seen a reality show where the people involved were in an on going divorce. Sounds like quality TV to me.


In conclusion, I think it's fair to say that Hogan probably doesn't know best.
