NEC and Klipsch rock!
It seems the only thing I turn the TV on for anymore is Sunday nights on Fox. Everything else is garbage - even the "news" is so over-produced, it isn't news anymore - it's entertainment for people with very short attention spans....(PBS news exempted)
But did anyone see Family Guy this past Sunday??. A show on FOX that can poke fun at the disgustingly bad FOX News Network has my vote. Ann Coulter playing the refrigerator in their break room was, by far, the funniest moment so far that I've seen. I almost fell off the couch.

I'm with everyone, in detesting "Reality TV".
I read Niel Postman's book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" (brilliant and highly recommended) in college and much of it really "STUCK" with me.
It focuses on the causes and affects of Television and communication mediums in general with social evolution...
Written in 1985, with many projections and predictions that could now simply be read as "History", one of the "absurd" predictions according to some critics was that eventually people in our society would be more interested in watching their neighbors or strangers go through their daily mundane lives, than to simply live their own. Perceiving it as "Entertainment"...
Absurd,?.. Ridiculous?, Stupid?... Maybe.. but now FACT!!!
We (general society) appreciated "Watching someone else experience life more than we actually appreciate experiencing it ourselves"
The fact that millions of people will sit down for hours a day to simply watch other people buy groceries, fix dinner, talk with family etc.. is Horrifying.
He was simply right.. And that was pre Internet Reality......
But there was ONE TV Show that was worse than all others .... EVER..
Super Bowl XXV.

:nono: He wouldn't know the truth if it bit him you-know-where.
The worst show has got to be Real Time w/ Bill Maher, but to explain that may break the rules.

With the exception of Jeopardy, 2 or 3 good classics on TCM, and a vanishingly small percentage of programming on NGC, History, Science, PBS, and the Military channel, my vote is everything. And when something does come on which sounds like it won't totally suck, I don't watch it "live"; I fire up the VHS, tape the show and run the tape later so I can skip the &^%*^&%*^%$ commercials.
Ever since FX wound up The Shield (which I watched from season 1 ep 1) even they haven't had anything worth stopping on. Not counting Jeopardy (2 1/2 hrs/week) and the remastered original Star Trek (2 hrs/week), I don't watch very much TV. I'll scan from bottom to top of the 400 or so channels DirecTV provides and switch the damn thing off in disgust.
Oh, and while we're on the subject of "TV sucks": WTF is it with networks who air 14 episodes of THE SAME SHOW?? CSI, House, Lost, Twin Peaks, Married With Children back to back all damn day long...

FAU5TU5 = Die Hard Bills fan..
The fact that people use the term "Buffaloed" differently now, and there are terms universally understood in Sports like "Wide Right" "Norwood" "Music City Miracle" etc.. etc...
Being a Bills fan isnt easy..
And the pain started with that game..
That game still hurts....

You could always become a Giants fan, and experience the feeling of winning...
Just a thought...

Bills should have won... and this is coming from a 'Skins fan!
So the other three SB's were less painful? They weren't close games like the Giants game... is that why?

I figured as much. For character development reasons though, I like NCIS.
Don't forget Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake.
uke:I was dating a girl recently who claimed that Justin Timberlake is one of the best musicians who ever lived. :screwy:
Oddly, Star Search had quite a few good comedians, though.

Some of the reality shows suck..
Especially the ones who follow celebrities around?
It's SO obvious that those encounters are just "acting."

Not attacking you but the "idea", Thats BS! Everyone knows this stuff is mostly "fake" thats why its called "Entertainment" if they made a show like "real life" they would still be on the FIRST EPISODE! Trying to figure out whos prints or sperm was on some object.
I hate when people say, we are not like CSI(no other shows and real life issues)....No flippin shyt idiots, its Called TV!!!! And as for correction there is such thing as GSR just not as much as CSI protreays it to be.
Hinces "entertainment" , now granted I hate reality shows to but CSI and CSI: Miami are the most watch shows in the USA much less the world.
I hate reality shows, and PAID PROGRAMMING LOL
