Yeah, if the “freakishly huge head with 93,000 teeth” look does it for you. I swear, she must have reinforced neck muscles to hold that thing up.
Memo to Comedy Central: cancel Reno 911! already. And we don’t need two commercials during every break for Carlos Mencia. He’s not even that funny.
And TBS, if you’re willing to show Mr. Show mostly uncut at 2 a.m., why not show the Austin Powers movies uncut? Honestly, it’s just silly.
You know, I have realized that it’s not that she has a big head, she just has a smaller than average neck, and the combo of that, the camera angle, and wearing her hair up makes her ehad look HUGE! I saw the Thanksgiving special Food Network had on last November, and during the scenes she was in that didn’t take place in her studio/kitchen, she looked perfectly normal and hot.
And the teeth? Last I knew, we all had the same amount of teeth.
Hear! Hear! When Nick and Nite first came on the air, they showed great reruns, stuff like The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, the black-and-white episodes of My Three Sons, Jack Benny, Burns and Allen and other 1950’s and 1960’s shows that just aren’t rerun endlessly on other stations. Now it’s all 1980’s shows. TV has been around for over 50 years, there are enough shows out there that they don’t have to show Hunter and Full House.
I’ve seen heaps of ads for his show, and occasionally i catch the last few minutes while i’m waiting for The Daily Show to start. I have never even managed a chuckle at a single joke. I’m truly unable to comprehend how he was given his own show.
If you’re referring to the computer-animated special based on The Dick Van Dyke Show, it was never meant to be a regular series- just a one-time special (although, IIRC, ALF’s Hit Talk Show was also meant to be a one-time special but did so well they made it a regular series).
The most heartbreaking example of a cable channel going to waste is BBC America. As programmers, they have access to some of the greatest comedy and drama programming known to man. Yet they put out pap like The Benny Hill Show and Monty Python ad infinitum. Oh sure, they’ll air The Office, or The Fast Show for a few weeks, but it’s back to the lowest common denominator crap right after!
And don’t get me started on the home and garden shows. BBC America execs - we have the same shows in North America. And if watching these shows is your thing, I think a viewer would be more likely to watch versions in familiar places instead of the UK version. And who watches that much Graham Norton?
I’ll never forgive them for cancelling EastEnders and The Fast Show. Bastards. My PBS station does a better job of showing good British comedy (the occasional Chef! or the brilliant A Bit Of Fry and Laurie… but enough with the Keeping Up Appearances (which also appears on BBC America, natch)!
My local PBS station MUST show Are You Being Fucking Served? ad infinitum. May Og forgive me, but I hate that fucking show.
I’m getting awful damn tired of the Hitlery Channel.
Over a year ago I got fed up with cable TV in general, and went to analog-only. I miss IFC and BBC America, but otherwise life is pretty good – especially now that I can get original HBO and SHO programming via Netflix. The same entertainment value, just a little delayed!
I’m watching COPS right now. On Court TV. On purpose.
I actually like that Court TV and FX sometimes turn into COPS TV … there’s no such thing as too much COPS.
I can totally hear John Cleese saying it just like that.
Or as my husband calls her: “lollipop head”. It doesn’t matter what she cooks. She could be breading and deep-frying cheeseburgers, but he can’t watch the show because he can’t stand looking at her head.
She may have a small neck, but the head is too big for her body, too. She’s pretty, though. I just can’t look at her, either.
We probably do all have the same amount (well, I don’t, but that’s due to orthodontia,) but she’s the only person I’ve seen who feels the need to display every single one of them every time she smiles.
My major beef is that Rachel Ray doesn’t do her show naked. Other than that, I have so many cable choices that if something bugs me, I have 200 other channels to choose from.
Of course, it still happens at 3am…310 channels and nothing’s on!
