I swear I even used the advance search to see if there was one. I couldnt find another, so I made one. Here we can talk about TV shows and other areas of interest about America's other favorite pastime. Sitting around being entertained by a box. Man I love TV!
Anyone seen that show called Obstacle on ESPN2? Its like Most Extreme Challenge (MXC), but plays like a Gauntlet type game. Out of 50 people only 3 made it through. They have 1 minute and 50 seconds to get through it. The top three (I think) move on to the next round, or it might be the people who finish it move on. I dunno. The game is Japanese.

Oh well, Japanese shows are usually strange. And MXC is one of the best shows of all time. And the Benny hill show is good for a laugh or two.

Yeah some of the Japanese shows ARE strange, but this one is pretty cool. I guess you can google to see what time it comes on in your area. It was on ESPN2.

TV recently went to the dogs. The only decent stuff is Adult Swim, some crime shows, Smallville, Two and a Half Men, and Comedy Central. That's my opinion.

I dont see why not. If one already exists then I will give it a bump. I havent been able to find one though.
Prison Break is a pretty cool show. I watch it every now and then. What happened with the guy getting burned? Did he get busted for sneaking out?
Adult Swim is awesome. I am so happy the moved it up an hour. Now I can watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force without being too tired the next day. I get up at like 6:00 am, so now that ATHF is on at 11:00 pm I can watch it. :)

I saw that show on ESPN2. The obstacle course name is the Viking I think. Why was everyone Japanese though?
Prison break was sweet. I totally forgot about the "crazy wing" so i didnt kno why he was acting so weird. That show rules.
24 is also a good show.

He refused to tell the warden how it happened so he got put in solitary. And then Fernandez got put in solitary cuz he had to fill in that hole in the gaurds room b4 some ppl went in there to put carpet down. And he had to run out in the open after that and was also put in solitary.

Thats the one. Everyone was Japanese because it was IN Japan. :) Tokyo I think.

Yah, has anyone ever seen the japenese show where they drop 2 Japenese people in Alaska, with nothing, and the first one to make it back to Japan wins? Thats one weird ass show.

"This is the part of my set, where I like to inform you all that you're all going to hell for laughing at me"
And, I was surprised at the fact that people who have sort of already had success were trying out. Like Tig, and Carlos Iglesias (or whatever that high-pitch voiced fat guy's name was.)

Start reading, you lazy bastards!

Amazingly, I don't read.
The last books I read that I didn't have to read for school were the first four books of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Oh wait, no, I think the 6th HP book came after that.
Anyway, what I'm saying is, everything I know I learned from the television.

I don't watch much TV but I do watch the news to keep myself aware of whats going on in the world.
The best show, in the world, which i'll never miss an episode of...
Well 2...
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart / The Colbert Report
Can't touch 'em. Ever.

Now its towards the end of last comic standing and Blue is still in it :). Also does anyone else watch the show the contender? That show is cool.

John Stewart is cool. Mind of Mencia is pretty cool. Smallville is vile and its creators should be trampled by runaway emus.

Mind of mencia is possibly the worse show ever on comedy central...hes not even mexican, hes a complete retard who uses the same jokes time after time when it wasnt funny the first time.

What about the new season of The Chappelle Show?
Franchise
07-23-2006, 09:47 PM
I saw the "lost episodes" of The Chappelle Show and I was very disappointed. Charlie Murphy is funny as hell but he was not a good host. Hopefully the next episode will be better. I did think the fairy skit was funny though where they had a little guy on all the different people's shoulder.
