I refuse to watch ANY of them...

But not including "Lost".
I'm addicted to the series up through season III, which my friend gave me copies of on DVD! :mrgreen:

I am with Cirrus.

Pulled the plug on the TV last summer. Haven't missed it.

Oops - hang on, there is one show that I watch because my wife makes me: Harper's Island.

Oh, and the premiere of "Glee" was brilliant. I look forward to seeing if they can do more with it.

Everything else, I REFUSE to watch.

- Any religious or "ethnic" shows (anything that specifies race, religion, sexual preference)

Anything CSI or Law & Order related. This includes House, Bones, Without a Trace and In Plain Sight. I know they're not related I just lump all the crap together.
Any reality TV. I guess I have seen a few episodes of Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers but won

Rant:
Why the f*** would the history channel show a biography of Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck!? When I tune into the history channel I want a documentary on Genghis Khan or Andrew Jackson or Alexander the Great. Not Madonna! Not Brittany Spears!! Maybe they could justify Princess Dianna (I wouldn

Here are a few interesting tidbits about television that I have assembled. I hope you find them as useful as I have...

A Few Interesting TV Tidbits

* Brady Bunch father Mike Brady's late wife and Carol Brady's late husband killed each other in a bar fight.
* Happy Days older brother Chuck Cunningham never made it back from Vietnam.
* JR and JFK were shot by the same assassin.
* "Skipper" Jonas Grumby and Willy Gilligan were the dandies of the island, made obvious by their complete lack of interest in Mary Ann, and their poorly concealed S&M relationship ("Little Buddy," spankings with the Skipper's hat, sleeping in hammocks 18-inches apart despite a huge island, etc.)
* Hawaii Five-O was a last minute replacement for the ill-fated Alaska Four-9.
* The donkey at the beginning of Hee Haw was drunk, and the show's producers faced several lawsuits as a result.
* H. R. Pufnstuf is often mistaken for Watergate conspirator H. R. Haldeman. They are second cousins.
* Ricky Ricardo was a total bastard to his wife.
* "COJCC," the Central Oklahoma Juvenile Correction Center, is referred to as "Kojac" in local police parlance.
* Scott Baio is the AntiChrist.
* Lassie was a boy (actually played by several male dogs).
* Despite the popularity of other shows in the series, NBC executives passed on the spinoff Law and Order: Foot Fetish Unit.
* The "dirtiest" line ever uttered on broadcast television occurred in 1960, when Barbara Billingsley explained to Hugh Beaumont, "Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night."
* Julie London's character Dixie McCall on the inexplicably popular drama Emergency! was originally named Dixie Wrecht, but producers caught the mistake before production began.
* 50 migrant workers were killed assembling the set for Match Game '73.
* All of The Waltons family was either dead or in prison by 1950.
* Like NASA's Apollo program in the 1960s, it would be much, much more expensive to produce Star Trek (the original series) now than it was at the time. For instance, scientists and economists estimate it would cost approximately $2,000,000,000,000 to manufacture a time machine to bring the dead actors back to life.
* Happy Days was originally set in the Warsaw ghetto in 1942, until it dawned on producers that those weren't very happy days.
* Lavern and Shirley was initially Mork and Shirley, but studio execs felt that viewers would see Mork as a drunk idiot who worked at the Shotz brewery instead of a lovable alien, so two different shows were produced.

I am refusing to watch "The Bachlorette" at this very instant :nod:

Last thing I really loved: Generation Kill. I had TiVo'd it and finally got around to watching it recently. HBO sure knows how to do some outstanding stuff.

Oh, thanks for the heads-up about this! I read the book shortly after it came out. And yer right: HBO is da shiznit when it comes to making great series and miniseries! :2thumbs:

Shows I refuse to watch: most network crap, actually, because even the best isn't as good as the worst HBO or Showtime series. I particularly detest American Idol. I was subjected to one episode while visiting a friend last year and it was just as mindlessly stupid as I thought it would be :roll:

The only stuff I'll watch is "No Reservations" with Anthony Bourdain; anything on the Travel Channel that discusses the southwest. I also like Hell's Kitchen (as a foodie and G. Ramsay fan) and Kitchen Nightmares. I also enjoyed Iron Chef the few times I randomly flipped to it. But, I honestly can't remember the last time we actually watched anything on TV - we even missed this season of Hell's Kitchen. It's Netflix for us! :nod:

* Scott Baio is the AntiChrist.

I disagree. Close, but I believe it is Tony Danza.

Oh, for the sake of all that is holy - please tell me this is NOT FOR REAL?? :eek2: It is disturbing and wrong on many, many levels.

:roflol: :roflol: Looks like a photoshop of Danza's face on Danzig's body to me. That is funny stuff right there.

[Sombeech]

yes, it's chopped.

Welcome to the internet. :roflol:

[canyonphile]

Welcome to the internet. :roflol:
:lol8: :lol8:

Thank baby Jesus for that!

In that case, it goes from being hugely disturbing to being friggin' hilarious :roflol: . See, I don't know much of anything about Tony Danza except that he's annoying as hell, and for all I know/knew, that could have been real.
