10 things i don't want to see in 2010

here are some rumors (or actual events) that have come about recently that i'd like to not happen in the new year.

1. a kate gosselin reality show - totally unnecessary. i don't want to see a soccer mom mullet picking guys. unless it's on a conveyer belt (abc has a new show called conveyer belt of love). i'm fine with kate on tv in another capacity, though it looks like her proposed talk show with paula deen is going to move on without the mom of eight - she's been dropped from any episodes past the pilot.
2. jon gosselin on tv - period.
3. britney spears as a brunette - the pop star recently died her weave black. that means trouble. the last time she was this dark, she went to the hospital for a psychiatric hold. luckily, her dad's conservatorship over her has been extended into the new year. now go record some new music (and stop turning down songs penned by lady gaga).
4. the tyra show go off the air - even though it's inevitable, how is tyra going to force herself onto the american public? come on, wendy williams can't fill all 30 minutes of the soup!
5. the jonas brothers break up - mainly because i'd rather they keep making music together and fade off into pop culture oblivious then attempt to make 3 separate solo records. please be the next hanson. please.
6. celebs dying - while old people are bound to cross over, let's avoid losing the young ones like brittany murphy and even michael jackson. i'd rather see more come backs in 2010.
7. shows get canceled - there are so many good new shows this season, that i know at least one or two will bite the dust to make room for some new concepts that are sure to be flops. i still miss pushing daisies and samantha who? please, fox, don't kill glee. don't do it. i'd much rather see american idol retire to the tv graveyard. there hasn't been a watchable winner since carrie underwood, right?
8. a new paris hilton movie or cd - while i know she's probably working on them, reality shows are her only entertaining outlets. the simple life and my new bff are good. the hottie and the nottie is not. really i'd be ok with her going away with flavor flave, tila tequila and every other std factory mtv and vh1 have found in the past decade.
9. see ryan seacrest host another show - come on. leave a job for me in 2.5 years, will ya?
10. say goodbye to nbc - unless the peacock net picks up their programming, this is a strong possibility. the network is in 4th place and not going anywhere with jay leno on every night at 10. please get some quality programming back! i miss friends and will and grace. give up on the single camera, grainy sitcom format and return to the multicamera style (hey, it's cheaper!) and don't tell me the sitcom is dead - cbs rules mondays and abc wednesdays with their comedy line-ups.

what are your don'ts for the new year?
