Title: Disappointing TV Shows
Post by: on February 12, 2007, 02:43:00 pm
Flip That House:  I watched a couple of times.  I never saw a house flipped...or even un-pimped.
 
 Pinks:  What a huge disappointment.  The title made it sound so good, too!
 
 Unique Whips: See above.

Survivor:  Couldn't watch for more than 5 minutes.

"Flip This House" is infinitely better than "Flip That House"
 
 especially the Charleston SC team, who are currently suing A&E and getting a show on a different network

But still...the house stayed on it's foundations.  I wanted to see flips, somersaults.  False advertising.
 
 BTW, have you ever seen Heil Honey I'm Home! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbj9otRPdiM)?  It's funking hilarious!

I am proud to say that I believe I am one of the few humans who has NEVER watched one minute of Survivor or American Idol.  There's far more productive things I could do . . . . like ram my head against a wall & such . . . .

I tried to watch Ugly Betty, and found it sucky.

Survivor: too infomercial.
 Ugly Betty: too camp.
 American Idol: the musicologist in me watches this as fieldwork. What makes music bad can be just as fascinating as what makes music good.

Every single show on TV, with the exception of a few Comedy Central shows, is horrendous.

I agree with PigIron!
 
 However, I love Reno 911. It makes me wish that I had cable tv.

Don't even get me started on American Idol and it's perpetuating total crap pop in America.  What is wrong with people when they'll accept Clay Aiken and Chris Daughtry?  
 
 Terrible.

Listen Up
 Lucky Louie
 Newer Scrubs, which I swear was funny at one time.
 
 I don't think most of what's mentioned has been disappointing, so much as plain terrible. did you have high hopes that American Idol would be good?

Post by: flawd101 on February 13, 2007, 03:07:00 pm
new scrubs is still alright.  it seems like they left the random kind of comedy and went a little more serious.  but its still one of the best shows on tv.

I'd have to say almost all shows, in my opinion, are pretty disappointing, except for the Simpsons (which has ebbed and flowed over the years, but is still solid entertainment) and The Office, which is still comedic gold.
 
 I used to be a Lostie, but they lost me with their shitty writing.
 
 And for no other reason, SNL gets my temporary and fleeting respect for Dick in a Box.

Lost is so disappointing.  The first season was so amazing. .

When I saw the three shows you think are disappointments I thought how anyone could anyone think they wouldn't be disappointments. Then I saw the rationale.  Hilarious.
 
 Desperate Housewives has been a huge disappointment the past two seasons.  It was delted from the season pass last night.  Scrubs has not been as good either.  Moving to the Thrusday line-up is when it should be stellar.  
 
 The only other shows I watch are The Office, Extras and The Daily Show.

renton 007 understands me.
 
 This is, clearly, a person of taste.

I still enjoy Scrubs, but I think they are running out of jokes. This past week I watched old episodes on UPN - they were so clever. These days, the jokes are a bit crass and there doesn't seem to be the signature "moral of the story" at the end.
 I have low expectations for LOST.
 Gilmore Girls jumped the shark.
 I'm tired of 24. Yes, I said it.
 Deperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy are deplorable. I'll take Ugly Betty anyday over those two heinous shows.
 In my disappointment, I'm enjoying My Name Is Earl.   :)   (I heart Randy.)

I agree about Lost.  I only tune in now in hopes they start  wrap up any of the story lines they started.  I have a feeling it will be cancelled before we get some answers....

Um, El Tee.  I don't know you & all, but I decree there will no bashing of anything Jack Bauer related on this board.  Or I shall come down upon thee with great vengance & furious anger.  24 & The Wire are the best shows on TV and shall be excluded from this discussion of lackluster & worse shows.  Thank you.

I've seen Grey's Anatomy twice and it sucked both times.
 
 Num3ers is teetering; tonight's featured guest star is an ultimate fighter.
 
 I still love House but I'm frightened that Dave Matthews (as a concert pianist!   :eek:  ) will play the patient in the next ep.
 
 I've sometimes liked Cold Case but it's starting to become a dramatized infomercial for the catalogs of rock dinosaurs.

Kiefer (Jack Bauer) will always rule. I just wish the writers would switch the story up a bit after all these years. (Although, I couldn't help but laugh at some of the other actors on the last episode.) TheDirector, I am sorry to offend, again, Jack Bauer is the man DAMNIT!    :) )
 Back to topic, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip Show was a disappointment.

El Tee, it's all good.  It appears we are on the same page, and both respect Jack Bauer's gangsta.  No harm, no foul . . . .    :)
