The Hills is brilliant but Gilmore Girls is unwatchable?

Yeah, and Cal State Chico just replaced Dartmouth in the Ivy League.

kthnx

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Furious George:

Not being a straight male, I can honestly say that is not one of my requirements for must-see TV. However, there is a clueless female neophyte lawyer who is easy on the eyes. I read that JM only agreed to star in the show because she thought it would be broadcast on F/X. Like she thought she might be the female Denis Leary.

SeaBassTian

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @CodePink: @Furious George: Really, you guys?! I think she's so pretty!
Huh.
Maybe they were just trying to downplay her looks for this dumbass show to try to make her come across as more "serious" or something silly and anathema-to-teevee like that?

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> 20 years of coolness being an alterna-babe down the tubes with one clip, for Parker Posey.

the Librarian

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Furious George: Oh my gosh, I thought the same thing, and then I saw Juliana in person! She's so pretty in person. Her features are too intense for tv, perhaps. But of course, this doesn't matter because you don't watch tv shows, like, live. So yeah, for all intents and purposes, Julianannana person is not attractive.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @SeaBassTian: Juliana Margulies (sp?) is too ugly to watch a TV show for. I'm sorry, but it's true. The golden rule of TV shows is that you need at least one hot chick in the cast. Are there any on CL?

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> is the actress opposite parker posey the woman who played the fan club manager in the movie Selena?

wow, I guess I watch more bad TV than I thought!

What it is

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> While the majority of the shows are wretched, I would like to defend Canterbury's Law. JM has given an impressive performance as adulterous booze hound lawyer.

SeaBassTian

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Triborough: Canterbury's Law looks like the biggest show-created-by-committe-of-sheeplike-executives I've ever seen. I can just imagine what went on in the pitch meeting.

Producer: I really Dr. House's in-your-face attitude!
Exec #1: Yes! Yes! I'm liking where this is going!
Exec #2: We need to work some Grey's Anatomy in there somehow. It's very hip these days.
Producer: Black's Law?
Exec #1: No. Too cute.
Producer: What about...ummm... Canterbury's Law?
Exec #1: Is that name single? Because I want to marry it.

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @SinisterRouge: It's exactly what the previews make you think it is: a horrible, awkward, unfunny, uninteresting Ally McBeal ripoff with a male Ally McBeal. I have no business watching the show, but it airs after Lost, and sometimes I find myself too lazy to change the channel when it comes on. I always regret that decision.

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Something amazing is happening in this thread.

That is all.

bitsy boozer

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails: I think it was only $1.50!!! I bought it at a small pharmacy near Bryant Park. I'll get one for you and then messenger it over.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> New Amsterdam isn't bad. Plus it is good for the local economy since it is filmed here.
Canterbury's Law is only fun to see how they try to pass off Brooklyn as Rhode Island, sort of like watching CSI:NY to see the absurd fakery they commit in getting various bits of Los Angeles to look like New York, but without all the comedy value.

Triborough

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @VirusWithShoes: It was a good joke.

2 plus 2 equals 4 stations of the cross, oops, i fell again for the 3rd time. That's arithmetic, right? I'm fahkin so good with languages, it's crazy.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Don Is: I have trained a colony of ants to run up and down a woman's erogenous zones, usually while I have a nice cup of tea and catch the local news. When the ants carry twigs and leaves it almost guarantees multiple orgasms for the woman, the joy of being part of a well-oiled team for the ant, and the knowledge of violent deaths in my town for me.

I am a kind and generous lover. And a tea-drinking pervert.

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @In Other News...: Ha! I love Tables of Contents. The Contents, usually not so much.

@CodePink: Thank God you noticed my poltergeist joke! I'm still convinced it's someone else's. I even Googled it, but to no avail. I'll wait a week and see if Stephen Wright sues me. If not, I'm going to a publisher.

Also - Isn't Passiongeist the German name for that Mel Gibson movie about Jesus and all those people speaking arithmetic?

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @CodePink: So, sex with Virus involves line-dancing ants? Dude never fails to amaze me.

Don Is

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @VirusWithShoes: Perhaps it was the Poltergeist that made your boxers fly so? Or was it--The Passiongeist?

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Furious George: It was just brutal sitting through the commercials for that. It looks like worse-than-usual David Kelly garbage.

SinisterRouge

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @VirusWithShoes: No, those are usually seen in Tables of Contents.

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @CodePink: @allyzay: I will gladly fork over the $3.00 this will undoubtedly cost me. So where do I get it?

TheHonJudgeSmails

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Hey, I LIKED that Jezebel James, if only to hear Parker Posey yell "Coco!" in those weird rounded vowels. And for ridiculous scenes like the one in which Posey and Lauren Ambrose bicker over "brochures."

GinaRomantica

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @CodePink: Wow. You were fantastic. I don't normally let women do that to me on a first fuck, but it's your foot, and what you do with it is up to you.

Have you seen my boxers? Last time I saw them, they were flying past a Hamilton Nolan post.

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Dear Parker Posey:

You were cool until last week when you called Gawker the devil and debuted on your laugh-track-drenched shitcom.

Shut up,
Vulture Squadron

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @VirusWithShoes: Oh. OKAY!!!
...
We just did it. It was great.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> And if this weren't enough, NBC is dragging daytime TV corpse Kathy Lee into its merrry morning melange. Girl's had so much work done she can barely move her face.

Truculent

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @CodePink: See? I was correct. Now you're becoming unruly purely through the ingestion of too many alcohol-vitamins.

God. I can smell the vitamins on your breath now.

Let's have dirty sex.

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @In Other News...: That's an ellipsis? I thought they were line-dancing ants.

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @VirusWithShoes: Shuddup you. You'll never comment in this town again. @allyzay: I know. Me too, baby.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> The "Unhitched" EPK made me laugh. Does that count? Oh, and Juliana Margulies is a very beautiful woman.

ronbo

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @CodePink: Apparently it contains quite a bit of alcohol too!

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Furious George:

Aaaargh...

Dear Judith Greer:

Notice how FuriousGeorge calls you "Judy" as if you are a familiar sex partner or, worse, some woman at the DMV. I use the formal, and even put a colon after your last name, as any gentleman should.

If I may ask for your hand, we will walk down the boulevards of San Diego admiring the homes, now in foreclosure, and wander into the one with a great hall and spiral staircase you may have always desired but could not afford despite your "guest star" status on that show where you flashed your breasts, to the delight of Mankind. I can promise you that your next series will nto be so hastily developed, as FuriousGeorge might, his mind always in the sex of the moment. I have no desire to see your breasts, unless of course you choose to present them to me of your own volition, in which case the iced cocoa is totally free.

I await with some urgency your candid reply, with photos.

Sincerely-amente,

InOtherNews...

PS Don't let that ellipsis fool you. I have nothing more to say.

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @CodePink: they make vitamin water in a can?! this is kind of a lot for me to process at 10:30 on a monday morning, actually.

allyzay

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Hey, this has nothing to do with anything, but has anyone ever accidentally drank something that was carbonated? I just got a Vitamin Water in a can and I thought it was just Vitamin Water but then I chugged it, and it was carbonated! Nothing makes sense anymore, guys!!!!!

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Er, I'll give 'em the "Writer's Strike Made Me Do It" defense for next season, but clearly this shite was well in the works around the same time that Bionic Woman brainfart was scheduled for mass consumption.

Spirit Fingers

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @SinisterRouge: And it's about as horrific as you'd expect. What puzzles me is how they probably spend $1 million+ on special effects each episode.

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @In Other News...: No! Mine!

Dear Judy Greer,

I'm a realy good sex person. I know all the different ways!

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> What about that shitty show that's like Ally McBeal for boys? Elliot Stone is it? That looks horrific.

SinisterRouge

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> I blame laugh tracks.

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> as long as new amsterdam stays on, i am a happy, happy man.

mitchel_stevens

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails: You could call the show "Say Hello To These!"

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Dear Judy Greer:

If and when your TV show, EP'd by ASHTON KUTCHER for fuck's sake, is cancelled do please come over for a nice game of checkers and a cup of iced cocoa. If you desire, we may also go to see a drive-in movie or perhaps lay on the hood of my Nissan Sentra and count the stars in the night sky? Or I can read you some poetry by Gregory Corso in the period-specific Angry American Beat accent. It's your call.

Thanks much,

tudobem

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Macloserboy (Who Is Finally On Facebook For You Bitches): As far as I'm concerned, any show starring Judy Greer that is not an Arrested Development spinoff following the wacky life of Kitty Sanchez is a misuse of Judy Greer and television.

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @Macloserboy (Who Is Finally On Facebook For You Bitches): See? And I think that's what makes it funny. Though I do have this weird love of Chris Parnell so maybe that's what's sawying my judgment?

tudobem

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails: LOL, my dad is that guy. It's a very lovable quality, actually.

Furious George

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails: Hah. Yep!

Richard

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Miss Guided is just horribly, horribly cliched. God forbid she not be a neurotic mess or the former cheerleader be a total bitch, because a TV about people in their 30's who are over high school would just be too much.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Richard, this is kind of like when someone says, "Ugh, this hamburger is disgusting, try it!"

TheHonJudgeSmails

]]> <![CDATA[Breaking: Stupid Television Shows Not Well-Liked]]> Lauren Ambrose is the ultimate riddle to me. Sometimes I think I wanna do her. Sometimes I just want to politely ask her what it was like working on Happy Days, filming A Beautiful Mind, and later getting that sex change. Sometimes I want to do both. Oh, Richie Cunningham, you foul temptress!
