I only watched Spike for the Star Trek reruns, but those have either migrated to *chuckle* SyFy *chuckle* or disappeared completely.

But I guess watching Japanese guys gets their nuts crushed while performing stunts was okay too.

Isn't this whole "dude in a girl body" thing how Jenny McCarthy used to market her burping, farting, Candie's-shilling self?

Like most men wouldn't recoil in horror from a frat boy with tits...

somebody tell this dizzy broad and her gams that a network built on ideas a 12 year old boy might come up with is, while probably not an awful one business-wise, definitely annoying as fuck.

maybe the next development idiot can come up with shows like "what race gives the best blowjob" and some sort of reality show following the assemblage of g. gordon liddy's "stacked and packed" calendar. or just 22 minutes of teens throwing their feces off a freeway overpass.

mondays .. . i am not happy with life.

Not surprising at all. Straight guys rely on chicks to pick out their clothing and stuff all the time. Why not their TV shows, too?

deadliest warrior is literally the stupidest thing i've ever sat through and that list of "things i've sat through" includes national treasure 2. i mean...i feel like i was younger than 12 when i stopped worrying whether or not william wallace could beat shaka zulu (this was an actual episode fyi).

I still think it's funny that Spike Lee sued to have them change their name, lest there be confusion about his support for the network. Sharon vs. Spike Lee would make a nice Deadliest Warrior episode.

I don't use this word much, because it's just awful, and silly, and relegated to people like Spencer Pratt, but in this instance it's warranted.

Dude, Deadliest Warrior, is awesome.

@Spirit Fingers: Yes. This post should not be construed to imply that 'Deadliest Warrior' is not awesome.

@Hamilton Nolan: I watched one episode. I think I could like it if I was really drunk or on cat tranquilizers.

@Mount_Prion: C.U.C.A.R.A.C.H.A.: I'll regard that as something people say when what they really mean is, "It's so great, that it could only be enhanced by drunkenness or cat tranquilizers, because those things would never detract from something so expertly entertaining as seeing who would win between Skaka Zulu and William Wallace."

@Spirit Fingers: No, I'm not hating on it. I think I could really enjoy it in the right state of mind.

When I first saw Zoolander, I was tripping on acid. I found the film totally confusing and had no idea what was going on until David Bowie's floating, disembodied head appeared. And from then on, I loved it.

It's all about the right combination.

@Mount_Prion: C.U.C.A.R.A.C.H.A.: Ah, now I see. However, I never much cared for Zoolander. I don't find Stiller and Wilson interesting, except in an odd, who has the more comical facial features kind of way. But after pondering that for like 3 minutes I've moved on to wondering, why they're currently successful? Why the Smithsonian is a good place for kid-friendly hijinks? Where your movie career goes after being smacked by a monkey...things like that.

Jesse James' posters really make me want him to miss that one jump.

"We have been trying to figure out how to do a show with women in it that is sexy and not misogynist," Ms. Levy said.

Sharon, give me a call. I've got this great idea for a show called Smell the Glove.

I thought it was "Sniff the Glove." Then again, I could have been sleeping.
