Now there's a statement we're all qualified to make!

g_i_john sucks.

He really does nowadays. I can't think of any of his posts I could be excited about.

I don't watch too much TV, but the TV I do watch I watch religiously:

24
Alias
The Amazing Race
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Justice League
Penn & Teller's Bullsh!t
Smallville
The Sopranos
Teen Titans

I would even go so far as to say that while I enjoy TV less as a whole, I enjoy the shows I watch now even more than I enjoyed the shows I watched in the past. If that makes sense. In the 90s, my only "swear-by" shows were Batman: TAS, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Babylon 5, and the early years of the X-Files. That's five shows over an entire decade. Here, we're winding down the first half of this decade and I have nine. Not bad.

I used to *really* like N@N and TVland. But Full House doesn't really fit my definition of 'classic tv.'
The timespan before something becomes 'nostalgia' has drastically shortened.

Yeah I'm not too happy about Suck House being put into the rotation either!! Who the fuck watches that show???

Agreed. If we could just change the thread to "Reality TV Sucks" noone could disagree with that. And nice comment about Joss. Another good thread would be "No Joss Whedon on TV Sucks"

I liked watching the History Channel.

I watch the 2-hrs special on the War of 1812 a week ago. There were lotta stuff I didn't know about after watching it. The British may have burnt down our White House but we did kick them limey's butts at the Battle of New Orleans. :)

Well he never really peaked. Always was just pretty bland.

I have to ask why he wonders why some people on this forum sound like pricks to him when he starts silly threads like this asking for such treatment.

* Gather up a bunch of photos of young, reasonably attractive people. Make sure about 1/10 of the photos are of either Jessica or Ashlee Simpson.

* Download the ten most popular songs right now.

* Play those ten songs in a continuous loop while staring at the different photos.

* Imagine the people in the photos are a) doing or saying something stupid, b) bickering or bitching about something, c) trying to hook up with someone, d) discussing their house or car or other property, or e) being attention whores in general.

There, now you have MTV!

I am going to have to ask you to leave the store.










Thank you! Come again!

I wouldn't go so far as to say "TV Sucks" but I admit I'm rather disappointed in the new shows I've seen so far this season...Haven't really cared for LAX, Listen Up, Veronica Mars, or Lost.

I was mildly entertained by the Dr Vegas pilot so will give that a chance; Jack and Bobby is somewhat entertaining but really isn't my kind of show. I probably will end up tuning out. Smallville I've been o nthe verge of cancelling since season 1 but I must be a masochist, or just like Michael Rosenbaum. Simpsons I haven't watched in 2 years at all.

I still love That 70's show, Amazing Race, Tru Calling, Alias (though season 3 did make me start to rethink this)....problem of course is one of those shows is ending this year, one may not be shown at all, one isn't on til january, and one is sporadically shown.

I don't have HBO so it can be tough to keep up on sopranos and six feet under.

It's almost enough to make me want to cancel cable but I just hope this is a dry spell and next year will give me something that's more interesting to me.

Michael
