Topic: Ok guys, time to fess up!

[J. Carney]

We don't get them on TBS, but on Global Prime (which is a Canadian channel).  I watch TBS all the time and have never seen it on there.

If I had the money, I'de certainly pick up all the MASH DVDs available.  Though Seinfeld gives it a good run for its money, I think MASH is probably the best sitcom ever made.  Oh how I wish I was not a poor student.

Heh, yeah, I had the chance to buy all the saeasons out so far while I was in Iraq and not fronting any bills but my rent (all utilities were turned off). That way, $35 US was not a big chunk of my income.

I too am a poor student.

The painting show on PBS with the fluffy haired guy.... "and another happy little tree here..."
Puts me into a vegatative stupor, without the need for mind altering chemicals.

You mean Bob Ross and the "Joy of Painting"?

...lets put some happy little mountains over here...its your happy painting...you decide what happy little friends are living there happily... Ooooo look. I have a happy little squirrel living in my happy pants.   

I actually like watching his show. Besides, its in permanent reruns. Bob died several years ago from cancer.

Ya, that's the guy. Sorry to hear he died, didn't know that.
His voice was frikken hypnotic, I'd come too a half hour later with an urge to paint a "happy" landscape...

I want to give LikkerPig more Karma!! 

I am totally messed up. I watched Masterpiece Theater when I was teenager, then Melrose Place when I was in College and I used to watch  Rukeyser's Wall Street Week until I figure out how to scan for stock tips at rukeyser.com. Now, I just watch Trek series until I get bored and just put in my fav. DVD.  Oh yeah, my wife and I and the DOG watch Animal Planet. The Pet Psychic is wicked!!

Bob Ross was great.

[AlienLXIX]

Bob Ross was great.

Yes he was!  I loved his happy little clouds!

My family and I love to watch MXC on Spike whenever we can!  Has anyone else seen this show?  It's freaking hilarious!

Is that that weird Japanese game show with the English dubbing? If so, its great!

[oldmanken]

I'de love to hear a proper translation of what they are saying on that show.  Love watching it though...whoever brought it over here in its current form is a genius.

The "painting" show that makes me crazy is that old gal that does the "one stroke painting".

"Push, twist, pull...push, twist, pull..."

To me she sounds like a hooker with control issues!

Nah it's more like what I say in my head when I am in bed with Ferret!  Up, down, then push, twist, pull!  What?  What I say?

What are my guilty pleasures on TV?

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
Buffy
Enterprise
Nip/Tuck

[Dash Jones]

I admit I watch documentary's almost religiously.  When I get to the US I watch discovery and the history channel almost non-stop, very bad for me to sit and watch TV for so long.

I also am a bit of a fanatic about trying to find out when Red Dwarf and My Hero show...though I'm not quite the fan of suspense and mystery that my mother is, more of a comedy person myself.

TV just scares me these days.... Maybe I'm gettin' old.  

Most of all TV is just utter crap anymore!  (e.g. Arrested Developement) I liked Buffy & Angel, Futurama, Junkyard Wars and stuff like that, but when it really comes right down to it, do I really have nothing better to do than sit here on the couch with a remote in my hand and a steady stream of drool flowing from the side of my mouth?

I try very hard and go out of my way to NOT be sitting around the house with nothing to do, 'cause that leads to TV watching without intent.


Oh, and I did the 'Bob Ross' thing a while ago.... I got the set, paints & a book and knocked out 5 or 6 paintings.  Some weren't half-bad.  I guess I got bored with it after I found out it wasn't all that difficult.

[E_Look]

I worry more when my kids knock about the house "I'm bored!"  "I don't have nuthin' to do!"

They invariably solve their predicament with: GameBoy, GameCube, Nintendo, TV, or PC, both games and Internet.  I ought to kick myself twice for letting them have this stuff.

When school starts in a a couple of weeks or so, this stuff is going to be rationed.

Anyhow, when they watch TV, it's usually NOTHING I approve of.  Kids should not watch the sitcom junk on Fox, those bloody crime shows, or Friends.  That last one is the sneakiest one; it sounds like a nice sitcom except when you watch it a few minutes, it's all about sex.  I can't believe I have to tell my wife to switch channels, 'cuz the kids are sitting there with her.  Anyhow, this is why I don't watch much TV anymore.  It is appalling to me.  And, gettin' old has nothing to do with it- the stuff on is just bad, in the "evil" sense.

Thats art for the masses. Virtually anyone can do it. Sorta like Paint by Numbers. Want a challenge? Try marble or clay sculpture or doing a "realistic" painting with oils. Just trying to get cloth to look like cloth is a trick. I'll not even mention the skill it takes to make a face look like a photograph.

[Just plain old Punisher]

Ok I ADMIT IT! I WAS ThE SECOND GUNMAN ON THE GRASSY KNOLL!

[Sethan]

Prior to Stargate Atlantis coming on, I watched perhaps an hour of TV a month.  Now I am up to 4 hours a month. 

[The_Joker]

Oh yeah, besides the Buffy/Angel and Trading Spaces, I watch reruns of Quantum Leap on Sci-Fi.

[Sarek]

I've got you all beat.  I haven't missed an episode of Amish in the City.  Five Amish twenty-somethings sharing a house with six deranged city twenty-somethings in LA.  The show's mainly a snooze-fest. Highlights so far: the psychopathic gay guy gets knocked on his ass after hitting on the musclebound homophobe too many times; an Amish guy who can't swim except for the dog paddle almost drowns on his first trip to the ocean; the ditzy vegan chick castigates an aquarium attendant because she senses the sharks aren't happy living in the shark tank.  I am truly pathetic.
