Am I over television? Will I be limited to an endless loop of Sex and the City, Curb and Office reruns?

Is there anything at all coming on that sounds promising?

The only show advertised that I have a passing interest in watching on a (gasp) national network is Arrested Development. Did anyone catch the premiere this week (I think someone might have mentioned it yesterday but I was seriously skimming)? It is a problem that it is on and the same time as Sunday night football, but that issue only exists if there is actually a game worth watching...

And paigs, I agree re: most regular tv - unwatchable. I'm over the major network reality tv, but Mtv still has me in its clutches (and likely always will).

And in a trashy way, so I should get no objections from the philistines who just want someone who looks like they would such (sic) their dicks without having dinner purchased before hand.

If this makes me a Philistine, then I say "To hell with Samson!"

And finally, six more pages of bitching about class/Carolyn Bessette to catch up? Why should I bother?

BC SD's class rants are one of the timeless classics on this board. Unlike say you're "yay, I live in the Southland and saw so and so" posts that are spoken in some sort of canadian guy moves to LA and tries to be cool ebonics.

Lucky for you, there's a new reality show in development called "The Tour," which will follow Mr. Roddick and some lesser lights of the WTA (Brian Vahaly, and the Bryan twins) in 13 sure-to-be compelling episodes, according to today's Daily Variety. The producer (producer of QEFTSG) is pitching the shows this week to networks.

This has to be your best and most useful post ever. Glad to see you have finally made use of your subscription to Variety.

IF Andy Roddick reality TV isn't good, there's always porn star reality tv. See how porn stars are chosen, with "real sex".

no. although there is another Curb Your Enthusiam coming at some point, that is only .5 hrs per week. Sopranos starts with new shows in March, but that's a long way off TV-habit wise, plus is anyone really sure that Sopranos will be good ever again*?

Reno 911 is okay, but only.

Go to a non-chain video store and buy the DVD "Fishing With John." this will give you about 8 hours of John Lurie fishing with off-beat actors. It sounds dumb, but was a very good cable TV show about 6 or 7 years ago.

Hope this helps?**

*Johnny Sack is suppose to be in a much bigger role, giving the more blood-shed craving group some hope.

Except me. I don't read except for the WSJ and the Saturday and Sunday NYT.

I highly recommend both.

Also, related to absolutely nothing, I actually had a good experience at a car dealership today. Amazing but true. They even repaired things under warranty that they probably shouldn't have.

So you're saying we should all buy a Subaru?

Huh. I had heard that you kept your Plaboy subscription because of the informative and entertaining stories. Damn misinformation.

Has anyone seen this? It seems to have taken over one station (much like Law & Order, which has taken over two stations) and is always on. It is accident-like. I get sucked into it just waiting for something, anything, to happen. It never does. Anyone know what this show is all about?

Paigow, we get it. You think the world of Carolyn Bessette. It is your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

The thing is, on this Board, it's the minority opinion. Most of us think she is horse-faced, too thin, and not sexy. We're entitled to our opinion, and none of your personalities can talk us out of it.

And yes, the rest of us were all using the word "hot" in its commonly accepted meaning of "physically attractive" instead of "has the lifestyle I want and has that frigid ice-queen thing that I aspire to."

So I guess I'm saying she's a 6.

Jack. ALl I did was post who I thought was "good looking" in response to Coltraine's criticism that I couldnt possibly think there is a good looking woman wo being jealous or some SDesque variation of. Then SLave bore in on several posts and then others jumped in bc of Penske pol. So dont fucking blame me.

The multi personality thing is Thurgreed's and only works when he uses it. Develop your own material or get off the board. There are enoujgh Nothing To Add posters I have to scroll by as it is.

And I just have to say about the thinness thing- is she really any thinner than the multiple Stuff Hos with plastic enhancements? They are all rail thin. They just dont seem as such with their plastic work. So dont be a hypocrite and tell me you prefer lessskinny women when what you mean is you prefer Brtooke Burke- who has some skinny ass legs if you take a good look. Ditto Pam Andesron. SHe jsut seem voluptuous, but its an artifice. Carolyn was just six foot and faketitless. I bet their body fat percentage was about the same.

But it is always nice to hear men rail (no pun ) about women who are too thin.

Not really, but I am sure they are fine cars.

Oh wait, was that some sort of stereotypical joke? I remember, poll that said lots of lesbians own Subarus.

Oooh ok. Funny! (Actually it was funny nice job)

No, I don't own a subaru. I own this:




Actually it is an interesting thing, I have found Acura over all to be very pleasant to deal with. The RSX is hardly an expensive car, but they treat you pretty much as if you bought the top of the line regardless of which one you bought. I suppose because they hope you will buy the top of the line some day.

Oh, also related to nothing, I'm addicted to this stupid rocket mania game.

Brings you to a java version of the game - it loads from here and it does make noise.

The fact that I watch way too much Animal Planet manifests the shittiness of TV today.

The only shows I try to watch:

Scrubs

Family Guy

Sports

Seinfeld reruns

The Daily Show

Sometimes the Law & Order with Private Pyle.

Watch Kid Notorious on Comedy Central. Tonight is the third episode and the show is a kick.

South Park is still genius. Last week, they skewered the music industry when Cartman decided to start his own Christian rock group Faith + 1. He yells at Token (the black character) who is suddenly the bass player: "Token, you're black, of course you can play bass." Token does and has a look of such horror on his face we had to rewind and watch it again and again.

We are also watching Playmakers.

I thought you were the one who informed us of this stereotype.
