I caught the first episode of “Girl’s Club” on Fox because I dig Gretchen Mol. Now I’m totally sucked in. Never watched one of them David E Kelly joints before.
Bad news, Kid, this just out on the AP wire:
As do I–love that dance! Especially the part where Hamtaro kicks in on the air drums.
My son (5.5) is partial to Oxnard for some reason; I (31.5) identify with Boss. Gradually, I’m figuring out the names of the others: Howdy, Bijou, Jingle, um…
Howdy, BTW, is the one I can’t figure out: he looks like he’s supposed to be a Sumo-Ham, but he speaks with a thick, exaggerated Cowboy accent.
My favorite is when some cracker used his beer to put out a fire in a convenience store trashcan:
“This hard drinking, quick thinking good samaratan (sp!) saved the day 12 cold ounces at a time.”
Ya’ gotta love it!
Noooooo!!! How dare they!!! They’re trying to emulate HBO, a channel that has that stupid Taxi Cab Confessions series, and they think that SOTB is too lowbrow for them? WTF???
Now I’m :mad:
The History Channel has a new show called “Mail Call.” Basically, R. Lee Ermey (the DI from Full Metal Jacket) reads letters about the latest military equipment, then demos the equipment. It’s basically a half-hour demonstration of how to blow stuff up real good.
I watch it whenever I can. I’m so ashamed.
from the Yahoo! news story linked above:
Damn, I guess I’ll have to stop calling them The MASH* Channel now. I swear to God there was a period of about two years were I could not surf past that channel without that show being on. I guess they’ve finally paid Alan Alda back all that money they stole from him.
In response to the OP, would watching reruns of Wonder Woman just to see Lynda Carter’s boobies bounce count as a “really stupid reason”? I mean, that was one of the major elements of the show, after all. I mean two of the … oh, never mind.
“Some cracker”?
Hhhmmm, in college I had a friend with a deep and passionate obsession with Shannen Doherty- He was so excited when Charmed came on he almost drooled, so obviously the roomate and I had to watch so we could later mock…it was all well and good until the insidious cheese-ball dialogue got really entertaining. “The power of 3 will set us free…” led to higher and less sophisticated levels of crap. It was almost a weekly thing with me for awhile…but I’m in a 12-step program now, I should be okay.
Dominic likes Hamtaro. I like Bijou
Remember when USA was the MacGyver Channel?
Well, like any red-blooded heterosexual male, I watch TV in hopes that this show, this very episode, will be the one that breaks that no-female-nudity taboo thingy. I can only hope.
Well, you were asking for the stupid reasons. I have good reasons, too, but that’s the stupid one. Kind of doing my part to balance out all the karma of people who watch car races in hopes of seeing a wreck: I’m trolling for boobies.
I suppose that really liking hot chicks in leather kicking ass qualifies as a stupid reason. I watch Xena reruns. I especially like some of the villain chicks. No, I don’t know their names. I can’t even remember the sidekick’s name. I usually don’t have the sound up. (Like I said, really stupid reasons.)

Years ago I went out on a couple of dates with Leah Remini’s sister. She was gorgeous and cool and not terribly interested in me. Ever since then, if I flip by something and see Leah Remini in it, I’ll end up watching it. Which is unfortunate, because she’s never in anything good.
I watch the soap opera channel a lot more than I’d like to admit. I meant to watch a marathon of episodes of shows where characters came back from the dead last Sunday, but alas, I missed it.
I started out solely to mock and I never really even know which show I’m watching (except All My Children, which amuses me deeply), but soon I will get sucked in. I can feel it.
I’ve also taken to watching Superfriends and Jonny Quest on Boomerang for the same reason. This could be a problem in the future.
Which reminds me, I’m still a sucker for anything with Tiffany-Amber Thiesen–even reruns of Saved By The Bell.
Used to be on “Charmed” up until a year or two ago, and then they killed her character off. Now they have Rose McGowan in her place.
(Yes… I watch the show for the same reason as Weird Al Einstein)
Speaking of stupid, my wife and I can’t get enough of Taxicab Confessions.
I think the show CSI is incredibly hokey but I can’t help tuning in to watch Hunky Guy. His name is Nick on the show. Hubba Hubba.
I can’t believe I just typed “Hubba Hubba.”
Ok, I admit it. I’m a closet Powerpuff Girls fan.
