I’ve only watched the \*\*softRock of Love \*\* with one goal in mind: To see Brett Michael’s hairline. I’ve yet to make it through a full episode, but I’m determined to catch that moment. I’ll hate every minute of it. ---

[QUOTE=TroubleAgain] _Deal or No Deal_, **OtakuLoki** , I’m pretty sure. [/QUOTE] Ah, thanks, **TroubleAgain**. I’ve only the vaguest notion what this is show is about. And I like it that way. 😉 But it’s a nice, comfy cave. Really. ---

I can’t stand _Everybody Loves Raymond_. From what little I’ve seen of the show, Raymond’s mom is the single most annoying TV character of all time, controlling her son through guilt and incredibly obvious manipulation, and putting down her long-suffering daughter-in-law at every opportunity. I just want to throttle that woman. Eyyych. ---

Even the ubiquitous look-its-freakin’-sunny-in-Miami lens flares have more screen presence and are less annoying than David “Emoting Through Sunglasses” Caruso.

[/QUOTE] I’m lothing myself for knowing this, but in the first season one of the girls father’s asked him straight out if he was bald under his all the time bandana look. The look on his face was priceless. For the record he said yes, but there’s a reason that rock stars start doing the bandana and or cowboy hat thing, and he does both. Bald old diabetic man hitting on young girls. You suck and so did your band. ---

Do none of you have kids? Have you never seen the Disney Channel? Does anyone know the torture that is “ **The Suite Life**?” Here’s the premise: Two pre-teen identical twins, living with their single mother, in an upscale hotel in New York. Oh, the trials and tribulations of raising these two adorable, blond-haired, identical twins and the trouble they get into. Let me just say that, the characters are stereotypical douchebags, and that every plot is so contrived and predictable that it makes Gilligan’s Island seem like a Brian De Palma masterpiece. ---

Someday aliens will come visit our planet, and all they will be able to receive is MTV, during a marathon of “My Super Sweet 16”. The aliens will then nuke us from orbit out of sheer pity (and because it was the only way they could figure out how to shut it off). ---

[QUOTE=JThunder] I hate Barney. [/QUOTE] What? How could anyone hate Mayberry’s most intrepid crime fighter? 😃 I hate any ESPN sports highlight show which features Chris “I used to have some clever catch phrases and funny nicknames for players based on their names but now I’ve repeated them all so often that I’ve driven otherwise sane people such as zamboniracer to consider driving from Ohio to ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol CT just so they-could-go-all-the-way back-back-back-back to slitting his throat with a rusty knife” Berman. ---

I don’t like people like you. I’ve never liked people like you. There is no way that I will ever watch a television program with people like you together with people like you in a house or on an island. If this was a perfect world, then that old science fiction mainstay would have taken place, and you would have been given shiny weapons. I would pay to watch that. Paradoxically, if people stopped watching and your ratings fell and you were abandoned in your house or on your island and resorted to eating each other, I would watch that. 100 words (not including those) ---

If for no other reason, just based on Showtime’s (?) incessant advertising, I will _never_ watch “the Tudors”. Every possible chance they show previews of the Tudors, the making of the Tudors, “ **I am the King of England**!!!” , etc :mad: ARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH !!! ---
