While Nancy Grace Shows Victim's Footage, VH1 Shows Hogans Back-to-back
 Thursday, June 19th, 2008

The Hogan family has gotten quite the bit of press coverage lately: from Nick Hogan Bollea's "emotional duress" behind bars and jailhouse phone calls to parents Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea and Linda Bollea Hogan (in a portion of one, Nick uses the word "like" eight times in three sentences, including, "It's like half the size of my bathroom...tell, like, Kevin, either I have to get a work release or we have to appeal it or something, because I can't stay here"); to Hulk Hogan appearing on Larry King Live last week looking sad and talking about his son's confinement. (Seriously, can he not wear that bandanna to court dates and serious interviews?)

To somewhat slightly balance the coverage, CNN aired an exclusive video on "Nancy Grace" Wednesday, showing a portion of what Marine John Graziano's life is like now, in a semi-conscious state following the car crash in which Nick was found accountable.

Both videos made us sad: honestly, we feel sorry for Terry Bollea. His sadness is palpable, and we've never thought him a half-bad guy (though our instict-o-meter has gone off the hizzy on Nick from day one, and didn't fail us).

Anyhow, we're flipping channels this morning and come upon two straight hours of back-to-back "Hogan Knows Best" reruns.

It is two different channels and two separate networks, but geez, can't VH1 find a better filler for this time frame...if even just while Nick's in jail? Oh where, oh where has the sanity gone? If VH1 airs "The New Nick," we are going to be so pissed off.
