PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Cheap Seats: MST3K meets ESPN" |
While on vacation, I managed to catch Cheap Seats, a rather silly show on ESPN Classic hosted by comedians Randy and Jason Sklar. I'll let you read about lots of the nitty-gritty here. Nice to see that ESPN, a network that has never taken its image of itself that seriously, realizes that not everything it's ever aired is worthy of being declared "classic." And the Sklars poke good holes into all of it!It's stunning just seeing some of what ESPN has chosen to cover over the years: Scrabble tournaments, darts competitions (featuring a young Chris Berman on the mic!), and World's Strongest Men competitions (which I admit to having watched). They also dust off some pre-ESPN Wide World of Sports and other stuff that, for some reason, have not been lost to history (while classics like the Hercules and Sinbad the Sailor cartoons have). The link above has a number of Quicktime links, if you haven't seen the show. Check it, and them, out! I also admit to watching the arm wrestling championships from Petaluma, CA.
