The Fat Truth
Humor / Television - No television show is a better example of why the networks are becoming irrelevant than ABC’s “Lost.” Sure, it’s doing pretty well ratings-wise, and I admit I’ve watched it only briefly while channel surfing.
But here’s where “Lost” loses me: I can buy into all the quirky plot lines (at least the ones I’ve read about online). Heck, I used to think MASH was a documentary. Just tell me how that big fat character, Hugo Reyes can spend three seasons on a deserted tropical island -- an island without even a hot dog stand -- and not lose any weight?
Put any fat guy on a deserted island and within an hour he’ll be screaming for his desert. It is hard to believe these characters truly have been stranded for months when one of them looks like he just finished off a couple of Denny's Grand Slam breakfasts. If the producers really want to make this show seem realistic, how about a plot line where the other survivors discover Hugo’s stash of Snickers bars?
