I am uncomfortable with being accused of having a point. Everybody knows I’m a pointlessly malevolent dweeb.
Returning to the OP: If Grace & WWE were not an option, I believe I would have to go with Deal or No Deal. On the rare occasions I see this show, I invariably find myself rooting for the contestants not merely to lose but to lose in the most dramatic and humiliating way possible: e.g., to be counseled over and over again by their family members, by the audience, even by Mandel to take a good offer, announce that they are ignoring that advice because they have a system or because Aslan told them they were going to win, and to end up with the $1 case, whereupon the SO informs the contestant that their utter stupidity has moved them to have an affair with the banker.
While the wife watches Criminal Minds on the television I retreat to the laptop and concentrate on thrilling spider solitaire or anything that will keep me from noticing the skinny little twit with the haircut of a ten year old who’s only purpose on the show is to expound obvious characteristics about sadistic criminals.
His title of most useless character on the program is constantly challenged by Darma’s husband who is supposed to be the leader of whatever crimestopper group they represent but mainly spends his time either angry at one of his team or making some decision that only through luck didn’t get them all killed. Meanwhile the dorky chubby-cute girl I like to think of as Not-Abby (NCIS reference) stares at the computer in horror of all of the events, tasks, evidence placed in front of her.
Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya. I left this hack job. Now why isn’t it dead?
AMERICAN IDOL. I don’t even watch TV anymore and I still hear about this damn show ALL THE FRIGGIN time. It’s just glorified karaoke, and they lock out anyone who wants to do something other than pop or r&b, two styles that don’t appeal to me at all. I really really want this show to go away. How does it take a whole hour to announce who got voted off anyway???
Rock of love, and unfortunately there’s a second version as well. The rock must’ve been talc. Anyway along these lines, any and all MTV VH1 reality crap.
For some reason, missing young attractive blonde females get ratings. Hardly her fault. Note it’s also only females, and almost young and attractive. If it’s racist, it’s also ageist, sexist and whatever “ist” woudl coudl assign to being only blonde and only attractive.
I have no idea why those seem to draw extra ratings but they do.
Normally I’d agree with this, but I was recently imprisoned in a dental chair with The View blaring at me. People watch that on purpose? Unanesthetized? :dubious:
I would like to say WWE (or whatever wrestling is going by now), but in the interests of the human race, I’ll have to go with Nancy Grace also. The woman is a freakin’ sociopath.
Well, it’s a joke of course, not intended to be taken seriously. The poster suggested football was necessary to keep time by and give life meaning, so they’re kinda openning themselves up to a certain amount of humor. It was not my intent to offend.
Having said that, I notice that you’ve contributed nothing to the OP but criticism, so you might want to leave the second half of that compaint off
I think we’re off on a tangent here, but I hate the Cubs for continuously preempting G.I. Joe and The Transformers when I was a kid. Buy some frickin lights, already.
I used to love this show back before it decided to go all Boston Chicken about 15 years ago, but:
Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Ubiquitous Syndication Unit. With one swift stroke I have successfully freed up about 1,000 total hours of weekly TV for fresh programming on NBC, A&E, USA, TNT, Bravo, and probably some more I’m forgetting.
