    In reply to Rush Sets Wedding Date!
    From the marriage.about.com link above: Rush Limbaugh quotes about love and marriage:

    Rush about having little time for love: "I'm too much in love with myself."
    Source: Palmbeachpost.com

    Rush on the purpose of marriage: "Marriage is about raising children. That's the purpose of the institution."
    Source: Palmbeachpost.com
    (Rush has been married and divorced three times. Rush has no children.)

    David Limbaugh, his brother, about Rush's divorces: "I don't think he would have chosen to break up either marriage. I think it was the choice of both of his ex-wives ... Women, especially young women, don't want guys to be sedentary."
    Source: Al Franken. Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot. pg. 13-14.

    Any story that can make me gasp out loud deserves to win.

    I still think it needs some flames in there, somewhere...

    The only TV I plan my evening around is the PBS Friday night News Hour/Washington Week/Now/Bill Moyers marathon of never less than excellent, sometimes brilliant journalism.

    Oh wait, that's a lie or at least a misstatement -- I used to throw weekly True Blood parties, and before that, L Word parties. And people actually came.

    I loved Alias until she got pregnant. The Simpsons sucks major ass these days but I still watch it because I've been watching it forever.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like that about Desperate Housewives - UGH! They are definitely circling the drain with that show! And how about the execrable Brothers and Sisters? I watched it once after Mad Man ended and my eyes almost started to bleed.

    the "wait it out approach" works just fine when your tv favorites (mscl, freaks & geeks, firefly...) never make it past 20 episodes.

    In reply to The Equation for When to Quit Watching a TV Show
    For "taped before a live audience" shows: The number of catchphrases the show spawns divided by the number of times the audience goes "WOOOOOOOOOO!" when someone merely kisses minus the number of friends of yours who say "Ugh, you actually LIKE that show?"

    For other shows: the number of episodes based on real events in the news divided by number of times shows are centered around the new breakout characters minus the total number of dream episodes that are used in a single season.

    Erm, what about most of the primetime CBS lineup? Because according to your theory that How I Met Your Mother show should have been long gone waaayyy before NPH hit his stride, Two and a Half Men shouldn't have succeeded past Sheen's second marriage and divorce (Why do people love this show. Just why?) and those lovable nerds wouldn't have made it through the "Nerd likes hot girl. Hot girl is dumb." and various variations thereof storyline for more than one season. AND now Jenna Elfman is back. It's like 1996 all over again. I half expect Ryan Reynolds to return carting a pizza and awful blond highlights.

    Yeah. CBS is clearly the anomaly. It needs its own formula.

    Number of episodes in the millions
    +
    Place where former television/movie actors seek a laugh track....or barring that, death.

    = Number of episodes that will never, ever, go off air, securing punishment of watching an aging man in a bowling shirt try to "score" women and other ancient parodies play out in infinitum.

    @Spirit Fingers: I've been wondering the same thing about Two and a Half Men for SO long.

    Laugh tracks should be banned, especially with regards to anything Jenna Elfman. Its like they only make things worse or something.

    @Conchie Birdie: I can't believe they still use them. How do you lip-sync amusement in this day and age? We know what's funny dangnabbit! And it ain't Jenna Elfman playing preggo-cougar in, "This might have been funny ten years ago, or never." So I'd like a momentous amount of awkward silence at every attempt from here on in. Or maybe a voice that says, "Not nearly funny enough to simulate enjoyment. Next joke."

    Honestly, bourbon makes me an angry drunk. I'm spending the money on good vodka which makes me a cuddly drunk.

    You know, people may think black men are badass, but whenever their wives try to beat them up, they run away. Tiger, Lionel Ritchie. Kobe probably cleared a couple of hedges.
