He wouldn't know the truth if it bit him you-know-where.
The worst show has got to be Real Time w/ Bill Maher, but to explain that may break the rules.

With the exception of Jeopardy, 2 or 3 good classics on TCM, and a vanishingly small percentage of programming on NGC, History, Science, PBS, and the Military channel, my vote is everything. And when something does come on which sounds like it won't totally suck, I don't watch it "live"; I fire up the VHS, tape the show and run the tape later so I can skip the &^%*^&%*^%$ commercials.

Ever since FX wound up The Shield (which I watched from season 1 ep 1) even they haven't had anything worth stopping on. Not counting Jeopardy (2 1/2 hrs/week) and the remastered original Star Trek (2 hrs/week), I don't watch very much TV. I'll scan from bottom to top of the 400 or so channels DirecTV provides and switch the damn thing off in disgust.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of "TV sucks": WTF is it with networks who air 14 episodes of THE SAME SHOW?? CSI, House, Lost, Twin Peaks, Married With Children back to back all damn day long...

Gotta be the US version of The Office. If you first see the UK version, you just can't watch the other one.

It would be easier just to pick one of the good shows, because there are so few!

The fact that people use the term "Buffaloed" differently now, and there are terms universally understood in Sports like "Wide Right" "Norwood" "Music City Miracle" etc.. etc...

Being a Bills fan isnt easy..

And the pain started with that game..

That game still hurts....

You could always become a Giants fan, and experience the feeling of winning... Just a thought...

Bills should have won... and this is coming from a 'Skins fan!
So the other three SB's were less painful? They weren't close games like the Giants game... is that why?

Rosie Live!

There are a lot of bad shows, but how many get cancelled after one episode? This one did (deservedly so). Actually I bet the decision was made to cancel this turkey during the second commerical break!

Oh, and we dont work in the dark like they do on CSI

And how come these "experts" have to constantly explain the most basic concepts to each other

And gunshot residue is a myth

And why do all the computer programs have flashing red lettering that says MATCH in big letters when ever it gives the results

I could go on but my head wil explode
I figured as much. For character development reasons though, I like NCIS.

Don't forget Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake.

I was dating a girl recently who claimed that Justin Timberlake is one of the best musicians who ever lived.

Oddly, Star Search had quite a few good comedians, though.

Some of the reality shows suck..
Especially the ones who follow celebrities around?
It's SO obvious that those encounters are just "acting."

Not attacking you but the "idea", Thats BS! Everyone knows this stuff is mostly "fake" thats why its called "Entertainment" if they made a show like "real life" they would still be on the FIRST EPISODE! Trying to figure out whos prints or sperm was on some object.

I hate when people say, we are not like CSI(no other shows and real life issues)....No flippin shyt idiots, its Called TV!!!! And as for correction there is such thing as GSR just not as much as CSI protreays it to be.

Hinces "entertainment" , now granted I hate reality shows to but CSI and CSI: Miami are the most watch shows in the USA much less the world.

I hate reality shows, and PAID PROGRAMMING LOL
