I thought I was going to hurl

#1 Postby j » Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:58 am

I came in the house after doing a few things outside last night, and much to my disgust, my stepdaughter had put some stupid reality TV show on. From the moment I walked in the door, I could feel all the muscles in my body tense up, and I had that undeniable gag reflex creep up. Don’t even ask me what it was, all I know is it had that jerk Tommy Lee and a bunch of slutty looking woman with multiple piercings (everywhere you could see), strutting about looking stupid.

I assumed my position in my recliner, and quickly found Fox News for some relief.

Anybody else suffer from these anxiety attacks??? 

Careful j.....you're starting to sound like our parents' generation!

Had to laugh at you assuming your position in the recliner too! I take it the remote was firmly in YOUR hand? LOL

And yeah, I am turned off by some of these so called reality shows.

I have to admit that I get hooked on a few of the reality shows. I flip over to that particular show (Rock Star) just to get a few laughs and then go back to "So you think you can Dance". LOL

I was watching "Blue Collar TV" at that time.

I only watched that "Rock Star" show last summer to see the revival of INXS.

Speaking of reality shows... The One's results show last night went down as the lowest-rated premiere ever on ABC and the lowest-rated reality show premiere on any broadcast network. It actually did worse than Lost repeats! :eek: :lol:

I thought it would bomb, but this is like epic.

The first half of a two-hour "America's Got Talent" delivered a 5.3/10 for NBC at 8 p.m. "So You Think You Can Dance," 4.9/9, put FOX in second. The "Rock Star" results show on CBS was third at 3.4/6. ABC repeated the premiere of "The One: Making a Music Star" to finish fourth. An hour of "Blue Collar TV" averaged 1.7/3 for The WB, beating an "America's Next Top Model" rerun on UPN.

"America's Got Talent" improved to 6.9/12 at 9 p.m. That was enough to hold off the second hour of FOX's "Dance," which improved to 6.0/10. CBS stayed in third with a "Criminal Minds" repeat, 5.3/9. "The One" sunk to 1.3/2 on ABC, but that still beat The WB's "One Tree Hill" and UPN's "Eve and "Cuts."

CBS moved into the lead at 10 p.m. with "CSI: NY," 6.1/11. A "Law & Order: SVU" repeat on NBC earned a 4.9/9, while "The One's" results show came in at 1.9/3.

Brent -- You are the Statmeister. Good job.

Now before all you tree huggers think all I do is watch Fox News, I must say it's 2nd choice to a good old fashioned American pastime -- Red Sox Baseball. Sox played an afternoon game yesterday so I had time on my hands last night.

I am surprised you did not have a coronary by watching Fox. I guess its the little things that bring relief.

That's why it's only TV Land in my house after the news, I need a dose of "no brainers" after watching the world go to Hades in a handbasket (the news).....I despise any and ALL reality shows.

My real life keeps me hopping so that I don't have time or a desire for reality shows.
-Wife just had a near heart attack and has other various and sundry ailments frequently.
-Stepdaughter is getting married next month and it's getting crunch time.
-Oldest son is in boot camp for the summer
-Other three sons should be in boot camp!

I really don't need to watch a bunch of fools on TV trying to get a life!
