Is there anything wrong with that? Besides it's better than all the other crap in the 6pmCST time slot. BTW I have never sent in a video.

I also really enjoy King of Queens, which someone else mentioned. Oh well...

2.) Popular does not equal good. Shows have production values. Good acting, writing, directing, original ideas. Not every show exhibits these traits.
3.) So between you two, there isn't a single bad show on tv? Not a single show that hasn't jumped the shark and is past its prime? I find that VERY hard to believe. So contribute or move along.
Wooderson, don't feel like it was a personal attack on you. I just don't get it(AFV). SG-1 is one of my favorite shows. It always gets trashed on this forum, even got a nod in this thread. Do I care? No. This is a place for opinions. That is the way it goes. It is just an open discussion.

Well I'm not getting into this already heated argument about scripted vs. reality. Nosireebob!
That said, of the shows I actually watched at least once, I have to go with Point Pleasant. I know it's been 5 days or so, but it's 5 days too long. What a stinker.
It's actually more like:
Why is Point Pleasant still on the air, yet Tru Calling got the axe?
Now, back to your regularly scheduled arguing

Malcolm kinda jumped the shark this year by having Lois go to Afghanistan to save Reese. It's recovered a bit, some of the other episodes have been decent this year, but that moment really messed the show up.

Most reality shows like The Bachelor, and those idiots Paris and Nicole, et al.
Everyone Loves Raymond
SNL
American Idol
*************
I'm still scratching my head wondering how "Friends" lasted that long and how mediocre at best actors got one million per episode.

They are all scripted. Especially the reality shows. (except cops) I watched a documentary on real world. They said the little confessional room was actually a chair in a studio in front of a blue screen, with a producer asking questions and trying to piss of the cast member by saying things like, did you hear what so and so said about you. Total b/s.

The easiest way to use the quote function is to click the button at the bottom of the post you are quoting. The problem with your post above is that you have no closing [/quote] bracket.
There aren't many shows where the husband is smarter than the wife. Only one I can think of is King of the Hill.

For the King of Queens, all the male viewers used to be jealous of Doug. Now they feel sorry that the character is married to a house.
