I just happened to be watching TV, and another fake kidnapping was served up. I guess this has been going on even longer than I thought. This one happened in 2004, and involved Audrey Seiler, who said she was kidnapped from her apartment and kept in the woods for days, given cold medicine, restrained with …

Brain Crash Cab
Remember back when I said Cash Cab’s contestants are smarter than Chain Reaction’s contestants? Well, I think I may have to take that back. I saw two dumb herds of people on cash cab that I think might fit right in on Chain Reaction. I wish I could find videos of these dorks. To make …
Everybody Loves Dumbasses
Since I am nothing if not a fair man, I must take a moment to be fair to Katy Perry, who is not in fact the dumbest person to soil the set of who Wants to Be A Millionaire. I thought she would be a shoe-in, but once again I have been reminded of something …
Thoughts On New Millionaire
Wow, I missed Regis on this show. I know there are the reruns on the Game Show Network, but once you’ve already seen them there’s not much sense in watching again since you can’t play along. So far I like the changes they’ve made, and amazingly the celebrity experts haven’t been a complete embarrassment so …
Who Wants A Violent Beating
I’m happy to see the Regis Philbin version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire make a comeback. There’s nothing wrong with Meredith Vieira, but for my money you can’t beat the original. They’re changing it a bit from the way things used to be, which sounds good and bad. On the not so good …

Cash Cab
I’ve now become addicted to a gameshow I’d never seen before. I was visiting someone, and they had Discovery Channel on, and this show called Cash Cab came on. Basically, this dude is driving around in acab, and people get in, and then they find out they’re on aTV quiz show. As they drive to …

Unfortunately the problems are A that it won’t work and B that we the consumers are going to have to pay for it. The cable companies are alreadymaking that second one perfectly clearby using phrases …

Soul Survivor
This story about a reality TV show where various preachers try to convert atheists twists my head around. Basically, 10 atheists who have been interviewed to assure that they are truly atheists go on the show and a muslim imam, a rabbi, a greek orthodox priest and a monk try to prove the merits of …
Nasty Dan
I haven’t watched Sesame Street in years and from the sounds of it itpretty well sucks now and should not be watched by anybody,but thanks to the internet, we’ll always have the good old days. and boy oh boy, did this ever look like a good old day. Oscar the Grouch and Johnny Cash singing …
