actually, the last good television programming i watched was old school Ren and Stimpy. fuck. i'm fucked up as an adult for it, but goddamn how i couldn't have been primed for adulthood without it.


Ren and Stimpy is the best!  And my boys are now fans, as I rented the video and they kept asking to watch it.  They sing the Muddy Mudskipper song and the Log song.  Bad mother, I know.

Alton Brown is great fun to watch.  And as for Gordon Ramsay, I love "Hell's Kitchen", actually.

I like the Price is Right.

After a long day selling shoes, I like to watch simple stuff on TV, while Wanda is fixing me supper.  I don't like confuzzing shows like Access Hollywood.  Keeping Paris and Hohan straight is too hard.  just simple for me.
Bob Barker is a awesum host, and if you can guess the prizes of the items you can actually win big!  If you're a contestant on the televison...

Television has always been chock full of stupid programs. It's just that cable has made the signal-to-noise ratio seem a lot worse.

Hate to burst your bubble, A, but Drew Carey is now the host of The Price is Right. Barker retired earlier this year.

I was lucky enough to see an episode filmed around October when Bob was still hosting. It was uber awesome....Except for the fact that I wasn't picked from our USC group...and the girl who won, won a Corvette. I would have sold that shit fo sho!

AAAAAAAAND, Doug, you need to read the thread! You missed my PulpMaChao Fiction script!

It's just that cable adds to the total number of viewing options, which allows for specialization and such. In some cases, time needs to be killed, which means finding something to throw on the air and to employ people. That's how you end up with stupid shit like pet psychics and, well, psychics in general. A few good-to-great shows pop up along the way, but most of what's out there is nothing more than employment fodder, IMO. Always has been, always will be.

six feet under is brilliant (yes, yes, i've said it many times before) for many reasons.  the plot and character development (oh god, the characters!) are superb.  follow it from beginning to end; it's wonderful. 

arrested development is make second favorite show OF ALL TIME.  the writing is fantastic. 

and lately, i've been watching (and by that, i mean downloading and watching on my computer):
big love
the larry sanders' show
and i just started watching deadwood yesterday.  not sure how i feel about it so far, but it was a killer season premier.  i'm really not too much for sitting down and watching tv, but i'll admit to getting hooked on a show on dvd or that i download and watching a lot of it in a short time.

Who can you think of that could be a suitable replacement? I'm interested to see how this one works out.

                                                         MR. A
          Reassuringly taps Matt on the shoulder, and exits stage left. is this his dialouge? ummmmm. and you don't do "exit stage left." this is a movie, not a play

                                                         MATT he doesn't say anything here!

Matt runs his hands nervously through his hair.
Turns, glances at the table, and stares in shock and disbelief at the $20 tab Mr A. has left him for bottle tap water.  you need to SHOW not TELL

REPORT CARD:

SCREENWRITING 101: F...minus

And Matt...

You, A, and Wyatt are basically the supreme male rulers of Das Shadowboxen. So this was bound to happen. But, I think I wrote you in as Wyatt's underlings...Hmmm...

Who are the supreme female rulers of the 'box? Drizzle, Katherine and Brittany? But Brittany is never around...So would it be......Caddy? Maybe. I think so.

silly child.  I am always present, silently wielding my power.

I saw season 1 of Arrested Development at the library today. I remembered everyone here saying how good it is, so I decided to check it out.

don't disappoint me, shadowbox!
