I can’t believe I am watching this but it is like a car wreck, you can’t look away. For those of you who remain blissfully ignorant to this portent of armageddon I’ll summarize:
A semi-plastic woman was given up for adoption when she was several weeks old. Now aged 30 (?) and with a shelf life of 1,000 years she has a chance to meet her biological father by choosing him from a group of 8 men. She wins $100,000 if she guesses right. The fake will win a $100,000 if he fools her.
This is just so awful. So very wrong. She is fake, vapid and utterly shallow whereas they are all complete bumbkins.
I hate to admit it, but I watched the last 30 or 40 minutes of it. I don’t know what the big deal was, I guessed straightaway that Charlie was her dad.
The spoiler tag probably isn’t necessary, but I’ll use it just in case someone else wants to watch it.
I believe “semi-plastic” in this case means the woman has had some of her parts replaced with longer-lasting parts made of extra-perky polymers. Hence the reference to her having a shelf-life of 1,000 years (which, by the way, I thought was really, really funny).
I believe I read that Fox had made more of these. I am hoping that someone I know taped it so I can find out who advertised during it, so I can drop a few letters to the companies concerned.
At first I figured since it was Fox, she’d just sleep with each of them till she found the one that wouldn’t do her; that’d be her father. Then I realized that it IS Fox, so there’s no reason to believe her real father WOULDN’T sleep with her. :rolleyes:
She had to be older than 30, as her parents gave her up because her dad got drafted to Vietnam and her mom was only 17. I’m thinking 1968 from the yearbook photos.
Was it just me, or did her mom look a HELL of a lot older than 50 something?
Huh, down here (in Raleigh, NC area), the local station refused to broadcast it. Instead they put on a special about adoption and families who’ve adopted. I normally don’t like my TV viewing choices to be censored in any way, but I think that this was a far better choice.
