David Yost explains why he left Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers at Anime Festival Orlando 2010:

I was called “f a g g o t” one too many times. So, um, I had just heard that several times while working on the show from creators, producers, writers, directors.

It’s not that people can’t talk about me and have their opinion about me, but continuing to work in an environment like that is really difficult, and I myself was struggling with who I was or what I was, and to be … made fun of on some level or to be stereotyped or put into a category in sort of saying ‘you’re not’ — basically, I just felt like I was continually being told that I’m not worthy of where I am because I’m a gay person and I’m not supposed to be an actor and you can’t be a superhero.

And I know that my costars were called in a couple of times to different producers’ offices and questioned about my sexuality, which is kind of a humiliating experience to hear that and to find that out.

So there was just a lot of issues; it just felt like a bad marriage. And I could either stay and do the second movie and finish six more months of the show or just — I don’t know, I guess I was kind of worried about my life. I was worried that I might take my own life. So in order for me to get a handle on what was going on, I needed to leave when I left. And so that’s sort of why I left the show.

So that’s why…

 

From How I Met Your Mother, season 5, episode 12, Barney must sing and dance to choose between the girl or his suits.

Suit up! Barney struggles to kick his suit addiction and requires the help of his trusted tailor, played by Tim Gunn.

 

Sick of TV thrillers with ridiculous technologies that will only make you cringe? Here’s a consolidate clip of some of the finest:

Let’s Enhance

 

Susan Boyle, the singing sensation, is on South Park too.

“If one more person talk about that Susan Boyle performance of Les Misérables, I’m going to puke my balls out through my mouth,” says Ike, Kyle’s brother.

I got sick of Susan Boyle. Personally I watched her performance twice. Two lecturers showed it in school. I had Les Misérables stuck in my head for a day. I had enough.

 

An extremely high resolution surveillance camera that is too ridiculous to be true. And she said, “this resolution isn’t very good”.

Why I don’t watch CSI

Well, it’s just television you may say. Listening to the CSI dialogs just makes me cringe sometimes.

 

This is what happens when you don’t pay attention to Dwight’s safety presentations.

The Office – Fire Drill. (Best Opening)

STAY CALM! STAY F*CK!NG CALM! What would you doing in a fire?

 

Last Sunday there was this The Little Nyonya (小娘惹) short clip. You know the five minute one. My friend informed me about it and I told my mom. She glued herself to the screen fifteen minutes before commencement of the highly anticipated (yet extraordinary) short clip. Yet even the short clip falls short.

It’s just Yue Niang and Chen Xi at the train tracks. I don’t have much impression what they were doing already. It’s almost as if there was going to be a sub plot. And then Chen Xi and Yue Niang start speaking their minds which is kinda odd especially when the whole thing start becoming third person.

And Chen Xi and Yue Niang starts to thank the viewers for watching. What? Oh, no thank you! Seriously have a better closing feature. Don’t rewrite the ending because that’s just lame, I can always imagine fan fiction for alternate endings. Show something that’s not shown.

Oh yeah, and stop the pregnant “The Little Nyonya” wife whose husband lies on the tummy to hear the baby’s excitement advertisement. Nobody gets that advertisement. It was cute the first time, only annoying the subsequent time. It’s been on telly for a week playing that The Little Nyonya tune with absolutely nothing to show. It’s such a shame. It’s time to move on to something else already.
