Also, I think I have heard "d'oh!" about eight million times in my life too much, which is a lot since I dont really watch the show. Maybe if I was forced to watch it like ten weeks in a row I would develop an appreciateion. BUt that isnt gonna happen. Hype isnt enough to lure me in, which is why I wont see LOTR, The Matrix or Matrix 2, Harry Potter or whatever lese stuff that is s upposed to be sooooooo good but isnt my thing. Ef that.
I dont love all reality tv. I like survivor when there is good strategy going on (which has been like twice) and good interplay. Ditto Big Brother which is probably my favorite. AMazing Race is still obring to me though I tried to watch it this season. Like the travelogue aspect of it though. But its boring. And I like ForLoveOrMoney bc it is revenge of the bims and the frist time we see the "bachelor" as they all really are. To me, it mocks reality dating tv. I also love Last Comic but fell asleep early on Tuesday and sadly, mnissed it. But I love stand up comics and a house full of them is likely a house full of smart, neurotic and highly observant people. Like me. And I loved AI for reasons I could not begin to explail bc I thought I would hate it and didnt watch the first season. I dont know how I even ended up watching the second I have not tried to watch any of the rest of the shows and wont. After all, I am a kayak owner.
Oh, and Blind Date is still the standard for reality dating .

Sex and the City might be the worst and most overhyped show on television. I have yet to see writers strain harder to seem hip and cutting edge. Its a total metrosexual show, and metrosexuals take themselves way too serious to be funny at all. I think the show provides a nice fantasy for people who have no idea what living in a city is really like. Its a sort of cheap Bret Easton Ellis ode to the alleged hipness and coolness of urban upper middle class living. The characters are dull, the plot each week is a repetitive rehashing of the same cutesy observations, "outrageous" sexual exlpoits of Samantha and cloying from the chick who used to be married to Kyle McLaghlan. Oh, and there's the redhead with the kid. She's a lawyer and her ex bugs her a bit from time to time. And at the end, to ensure that middle America does not think the main character is a morally vacant zero, she spews some Hallmarky obervation on the diffuclty of being a chick in the city. "See, deep down, Sarah Jessica Parker's character is just like all of us... she just wants to be loved."
Crap. Utter mindless drivel in a hip package.
Agreed, however, that Curb Your Enthusiasm is simply fantastic.
As to LOTR, Matrix, Hulk etc... people who rush out to see those things crack me up. I wonder if they stay at home and play Dungeons and Dragons when they don't have sci fi fantasies to drool over. If its got wizards, unicorns, warlocks, elves, or any form of forest nymph, faery or goblin in it, I ain't watching it. Star Wars is about as far as I go with the sci-fi nonsense.
