Kyle XY: Memory Serves

Kyle XYSit on back for the over marketed show about the boy with no belly button, Kyle XY. Kyle looks like Corey Feldman and talks like someone with an extra Y chromosome. They should call him Kyle XYY.

Here is the plot so far this episode. Kyle KY is making lots of baskets into a hoop with a basketball. Then he met a girl and he missed the basket. He may not have a belly button, but he must have some dangly man treats.

Kyle XY must have studied Kyle MacLachlan’s acting from The Hidden. He is certainly an alien. He doesn’t seem to understand how things work. Not to be crude, but I wonder if he even has a hole in his rear for waste disposal.

Due to the fact that Kyle XY is so good at basketball, he has made it on to the school’s squad right before the state championship.

McDonalds wants us to believe that not snacking will drive you insane. Call me obstinate, but I have a hard time believing that.

Someone is watching Kyle XY in his bedroom from secret cameras. It might be that guy from Sliver or UB40.

There are some annoying subplots going on. Kyle’s fake sister is in some sort of love triangle and Kyle’s fake brother is taking illegal bets on the state championship basketball game. That’s all I have to say about that.

The bleachers are pretty empty for this championship game. I guess ABC couldn’t afford enough extras to fill the stands.

How long can a show ride on Kyle XY being perplexed by the simplest things? It should wear thin rather quickly. I give it one episode. So in 15 more minutes, it should be old hat.

Kyle XY showed morality and solidarity in forfeiting the basketball championship with his team for some fool reason. We could all learn something from Kyle XY. For instance, just because a show is hyped to no end doesn’t mean it will be any good.

Nobody wipes down their workout machines in TV shows and movies. What kind of message is this sending to our children?

The last ten minutes are spent wrapping up all the subplots that I didn’t bother caring about. I was right not to care about them.

My verdict? I already used up my extra Y chromosome dig at the start of the show. I probably should have saved that until the end. Just scroll back up to the top of this review and pretend that is the end. There you have my verdict.
