He doesn't talk to the dogs, he just teaches people how to deal with them. He helps with extreme behavioral problems and stuff. I love that show.

ok true, but there was an episode where he was talking to a dog. literally, he was like "she wants her bone. she's telling me she wants her bone" when it was clearly underneath the couch and could be seen with the naked eye. oh wait, shit, that was a different show, not dog whisperer (fuckk) ok, I'll change it. but I don't remember the name of it.

but it's not just this one show, what about Dr. Phil? do you really feel the need to expose your problem outs there for the world to see? it's nice to know that you are addicted to sex and that you need help, but now your co-workers and friends know you're a [something]philiac.

and what about fear-factor? it was nice when it first came out but now they're doing the craziest shit to each other and people find it funny so see others electrocute themselves with high amounts of electricity to win 50 000 dollars.

what has the world come to? actually, what has the television evolved to? or am I just anti-television. I watch t.v. though, but I normally leave it on mute, or totally ignore it. unless of course Arthur is on or PMK or Are You Afraid of the Dark? you know, classic t.v. when shows weren't really fucked up.

Yeah, some shows are a little out there these days, but I think the dog whisperer is good as well. He just knows how to deal well with animals. Fear factor is a bit odd, I guess. But, if thats what they want to do to win a whole lot of money, then shit, let them do it!! Who cares? Don't watch it if you don't like it. I don't. And I could care less if it's on TV. Some people find it entertaining. There are a million channels on TV these days. I'm sure you're bound to find one of those old shows that used to catch your interest back in the day, if TV is your greatest source of entertainment.

you could have used a better examply. for example,

the following shows are not recognized by me as honest, television programming:

-- reality anything.
-- Flavor of Love, Charm School, or anything off VH1
-- Burn Notice
-- Trading Spouses, or any variation
-- all variations of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, with the exception of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader.
-- anything dealing with talent competitions. singing, dancing, SINGING THE LYRICS TO A SONG. TELEVISED KAREOKE IS NOT COOL.
-- All MtV programming. the only good shows they ever hard either involved playing music, Tom Green, or Jackass. and yeah, fuck you, i liked the Tom Greem Show.
-- Hell's Kitchen - what the fuck is this shit? Simon from American Idol, meets Food Network? Food Network has better programming, personally.
-- Rachel Ray, hands down (shut up, Rob. she is not hot, 'kthx?)
-- You know, just, god, Fox related ANYTHING. with the exception of House, Bones, and Greg the Bunny. bring back Greg the Bunny, you bastards.

you know, fuck it. i'm through. it's over. television SUCKS. and yes, Dog Whisperer is The Nanny, for animals. and if you ask me, kids are animals, so it's the same goddamn thing.

this rant is OVER.

^ agreed. especially about the "Flavor of Love" and its many spawns...and the karaoke thing. what the hell. two networks with idots singing bad 80s rock ballads. killmenow.

you forgot the dumb dancing shows. and the dumb "talent" show with david hasselhoff.

you know what's a brilliant show, though?

The Soup.

they just make fun of this garbage for an hour and it's 10x more funny than any episode of "Two and a Half Men" et al.

I preferred The Soup when the black girl hosted it, but it's always been nice.

And I love ESPN. It is to sports what MTV should be to music.

i do not know what The Soup is. o_O' and i didn't forget the dancing shows. "-- anything dealing with talent competitions. singing, dancing, SINGING THE LYRICS TO A SONG. TELEVISED KAREOKE IS NOT COOL." <3 all of it is fast food for the mind, if'n you ask'n me.


so ESPN does it to, eh? ~spanks the network~ i suppose you could also join CNN in that comparison, eh?

Two and a Half Men. primetime was never good, we just had more faith as kids.

the only SCRIPTED tv shows worth watching are "The Office" and "House"...sometimes "Entourage," but I think it's a bit contrived nowadays.

network television hates smart tv. look what happened to "Arrested Development."

if its dumb, has a lot of sex/fart/gay jokes in it, and runs under 22 minutes, it's a tv show.

don't worry. i'll change hollywhore around with some brilliant sitcom.

which, btw, will get 39483204 emmys...and then scrapped by some FOX/CBS/ABC/NBC exec who thinks people "just don't get it."

You referring to Gordon Ramsay there?  The way he describes to the audience how to make food... it's ridiculous. Like a drill sergeant. The camera-work is equally stupid.

okay, i agree with the office and entourage and of course, arrested development.  but house?  especially when talking about scripts...my god, it's the same every episode! 

someone gets sick.
house is grumpy, but funny.
this is a weird sickness!
snarky comment from house.
they try to heal sick person.
it doesn't work.
house is sarcastic and mean.
they try something else.
it doesn't work.
house is sarcastic and mean.
house has a brilliant idea but it involves something sketchy or unethical.
big leader doctor woman (cutting?) says "no house, you can't do that!"
house does it anyways.
house's brilliant idea in the last 10-15 minutes of the episode works.
patient healed (note:  sometimes patient dies.  this is rare.)
house is grumpy/mean/sarcastic.
ftw!
