Even on American Chopper?

For the most part, I quit watching the Discovery Health channel (which should more appropriately be called the “Birth and Delivery” channel) except when I’m feeling particularly masochistic.

So last night, my husband I tune into “American Chopper” a documentary show profiling Orange County Choppers, a family run business located in Rock Tavern, N.Y., that builds custom choppers. (I know, strange show for a Jewish couple to be watching – we’re not exactly biker type people). But you would think that the content of this show would not contain anything that I find personally offensive as say…a pregnant woman, someone giving birth…etc.

Last night’s episode was Episode 13: Mikey’s Bike 2: “Setbacks, stress and sibling rivalry threaten to derail the Blues Bike project. But Mikey has a more pressing problem: passing his motorcycle driver’s test (premiered: Aug. 18, 2003)”

Harmless…or so you’d think, until the surprise ending: The Teutul Clan motor to the hospital to greet the arrival of the newest member of the family, a new baby boy for Paul Sr.'s son Danny, another biker bundle of joy…Congratulations...

I swear, if I were to tune into Golden Girls it would be an episode about post-menopausal Blanch getting pregnant. Or how about these….

Happy Days: Marion (aka Mrs. C) announces the happy news that she is pregnant and there will be a new addition to the Cunningham clan.

The Brady Bunch: Alice breaks the new to the Brady’s that she’ll be retiring in 9 months to be a stay at home mom…yup, that’s right, she and Sam the butcher are expecting twins!

Andy Griffith: Aunt Bee has a fling with an old boyfriend and accidentally gets knocked up. Whoops!

I can no longer even watch King of Queens because Leah Remini, the actress who plays Carrie, is pregnant in real life. At first I was secretly pleased to see that she appeared to be getting fat on the show (you know, G-d if you can’t make me thin, then please make all my friends fat)…But I should know better…most fat women I come across these days are…pregnant.

And to that I say: ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
