Even though my mind has primarily been on my beloved Bears losing in the Super Bowl, I caught a lot of cool stuff on the tube since my last column.
Deal Or No Deal had it's first little person contestant!! Now you can truly say that this game show does not descriminate on allowing people on. Since I started watching, I have seen pretty much a full representation of the United Nations & people of all sizes and shapes. That's one of the reasons I love this show. They let just about anyone on and I can't wait to see who they come up with next, from week to week. Another sub-plot of the show revolves around Howie and his germaphobia. I love to watch how he handles 'touching' situations. I saw a rerun yesterday  where he actuallly greated a grand-daughter of a contestant with the double fist bump. I also live for the 3 seconds it takes for the #13 chick to open her case. Layla is damn near the hottest broad I have ever seen...
Smallville
So, after 4 seasons, I decided to give this show a try. What the hell is going on with Superman?
- Lois Lane, played by that piece of ass Erica Durance, is in town (did she know Clark before the big move? I don't know). And get this, her nickname for Clark is 'Smallville', ugh.
- Lil' Bow Bow played an enemy from the planet Krypton hunting down Clark to kill him. Having this loser in any episode has made the show lose all credibility. How about giving Ice Cube the role of Bizarro. How about Aaron Carter as a young Green Lantern? One of the Olsen Trolls could make a good adolecent Wonder Woman.
- Where is the freakin' cape, the suit or the tights? Why doesn't he fly? All I have seen is Clark running really fast like The Flash.
- Clark's Mom actually played Clark Kent's love interest in one of the bad Superman movies, I think think the one with Richard Pryor. Isn't that incest or something?
- Clark Kent's teen years were identical to the show Dawson's Creek.
- What's with the gay theme song?
So needless to say I wont be checking this show out again. People love this stupid show and I don't know why.
1 Against 100
The only good part about this show is the comedic stylings of Bob Saget (my girlfriend playfully replaces the 'S' with an 'F'). This show is good but there are a couple things seriously wrong with it.
- Nobody ever goes against the mob when they have decent cash. Why would some schmo risk 87,000 dolla dolla bills y'all when there are people who are smarter than them still
 left in the mob. They should use the 'Who Wants To Be A Millionare" rule where you can go against the mob but if you lose you still get some of your cash. This way, people wont be so scared to continue. It's getting old to see people getting scared to proceed, decide to quit, then still make it out with a nice hunk of dough. This makes the show lack the suspense of "Deal Or No Deal" and feels more like an old rerun of "Lets Make A Deal" with Monty Hall.
- The time between the questions is too long. What do you get between commercial breaks, 2 or 3 questions? For some reason the contestants seem to feel the need to explain why they chose that answer, even if it's an easy one.
- A personal highlight of the show for me was when that bug eyed freak Ken Jennings was a member of the mob. That dumbass got some easy question wrong and he was embarrased on National TV. Stick to Jeopardy freak boy!
Tyra Banks and her weight critisizm tirade will go down in history as one of the greatest TV moments of all time. While I can appreciate a great meltdown, I disagree with Tyra's decision to respond to the ridiculous charges that she is overweight. Tyra is hot, whether or not she is 30lbs bigger than her supermodel weight. Why shed tears, add fuel to the fire and bring attention to this nonsense.
The real crime here is the fact that Tyra has a forum to respond to these charges. This moron shouldn't even have a show! She is the least intellecual TV host I have ever seen. Even Megan Mullally had more to say. The single worst aspect of Tyra is that when she is tackling a serious subject or speaking with a guest about a tough subject, she fails to convince me that she really cares. Her 'serious face' is almost laughable. It looks like she is in pain and the pain is coming from the energy it takes to fake her face muscles into forming her frown. What I'm saying is that she IS FAKE! Tyra's sincerity is non-existant. Now if people want to talk about how bad of a host she is, I'm all for that, but please, get off the weight issue with her. Most men (and some women) would do her in a second, even if she gained 100lbs from her modeling weight. Yeah, I'm not afraid to say that I would nail her at 220lbs!! MTV
What has happened to MTV's programming? They got rid of their best show, Laguna Beach and killed the Real World by branching off and creating a ton of spinoffs such as The Gauntlet and numerous other ultra-drama reality fests. I don't know a Real Worlder from A Road Ruler anymore. And on one of the shows, they added people who didn't originally didn't appear on either show.
And now I see that they now added a pro wrestling show to their 'stellar' lineup. Washed up grapplers such as X-Pac, Vampiro & Justin Credible join some unknowns who look more like backyard wrestling rejects on what is sure to be a short lived federation/show. What was once a cutting edge channel is now doing nothing but cutting the cheese. |
