I cannot express to you the degree to which I despise that utterly devoid, completely awful and entirely uncreative show.

I loath that program. It, along with Friends and Sex in the City, represent a microcosm of everything wrong with TV and our society.

so tribriguy...you uhhh..gonna eat that sandwich...whoa

okay Tom (I totally agree btw) I'll bite...when and if you watch tv..what do you like to watch?

in defense of "friends":

i also hate that show. very much. you're right, there's something wrong with television and society as a whole when show after show after show follow the following plot:

misunderstanding...confusion...hilarity ensues

still, there is something to be said for "friends", which is this: it's mindless! you can just turn your brain off for half an hour, laugh at stupidity, and lust after jennifer aniston. what's wrong with a little entertainment and relaxation?

I'm kind of a documentary guy. I like movies too. And news. If it is real, I like to watch it. I like that show where those guys build motorcycles and argue all the time. It's like here.

-Saw a National Geographic documentary on the nomadic, aquatic Mokin people of Myanmar last night. Fascinating.

so no sitcoms or docudramas for you then? I was hoping you'd at least be a Buffy or a CSI guy. The bubble has been burst. Hey, got to meet Fleck this yesterday at a local du. Cool guy who is still in some serious looking shape..for a self admitted retired old triguy

Tom, man, you need some Zoloft. . .or some serious circus sex. Your misanthropy is feeding your autophobia some serious mind altering substances dude.

Tom, if you like documentaries, if you saw any of these, what did you think of 'Roger and Me', 'The Big One', 'Bowling for Columbine', and 'Supersize Me'?

Where would you want to swim ?

Anywho, I was riding my bike the other day when this guy runs into me and guess what? He didn't have any running or biking insurance so the judge sentenced him to be my coach. My friend Jim wanted to borrow him but I said "He's my coach!!!" Then my other friend Eraine wanted to date him but that was out of the question cuz he shaveded his legs and people thought he was gay. She explained to me that gay men don't shave their legs and we debated on that for a few weeks. She decided to try to get him to change teams but he was too familiar with the equimpent.

It turns out that he has very flat feet and runs barefoot everywhere, that caused some problems when he went to Miejer and couldn't buy my any powerbars. So I had him try to make a monocote disk to make me faster but he explained to me that all I needed was a set of zipps. I thought he was talking about shoes and quickly went to K-smart and got some (you know having flat feet) for about $10 cuz you know those shoe stores are ripping us off with those high priced motion control moon boots.

Then he suggests a new bike but can't make up his mind if it should be carbon, aluminum, steel or whatnot. He is also confused about wheel size. 650 or 700. Well higher should be better he thinks and orders them in a clincher. I get all upset about the fact that clinchers are training wheels and he says that they spin slower so it doesn't make any difference.

Do you want more?

As an avid viewer of the Cirque de Soleil, I would imagine those folks could help you with a good definition of "circus" sex. No animals required. Unless we're talking about HM Bunnyman or Ze Gopha.

there is also a mooseshelby on here too

and a kentiger

I disagree(at least about the Zoloft bit. It's not for me to judge who needs curcus sex.) Tom will be fine as long as he focuses his anger and uses it for good, rather than evil.

He could ignite the next cycling fad, such as cycling in your wetsuit to both reduce transition times and make you more aero.

I once attended a costume party with a girl I was dating dressed as characters in Cirque de Soleil. It was humiliating. It was not halloween, and she forced me to go in a party store dressed like that to buy a bottle of wine (which I don't even drink) for the party.

However, after the party we had our own version of Cirque de Soleil at her apartment. It was worth a little humiliation. most entertaining.

Then again, it is in keeping with the NOTHING topic. . .as in NOTHING is happening there. . .

>>>I loath that program. It, along with Friends and Sex in the City, represent a microcosm of everything wrong with TV and our society. Give me a break, Tom.

Uncreative?? That's a false statement if ever I've heard one.

Seinfeld was a good show. So was Sex in the City.

Tom, that motorcycle building show is American Chopper on the Discovery Channel. Actually, one of my favorites. I understand they are building a motorcycle and putting Powercranks on it.

I did not care for either one.

Seinfeld is trite and stupid and the characters are absurd. The writing is poor IMO.

Sex in the City is so pretentious. I saw a commercial featuring the female characters- I didn't find any of them sexy or alluring. Just whiny and pretentious.

One of the characters in Sex in the City said,

"I've been dating for 15 years, where is he???" The answer is: You're ugly, skinny, self-important, whiny, pretentious and a harsh charicature of yourself- that is why you are still dating with no success..."

The female chracters in that show are utterly undesireable.

It should be called "Whiny, selfish, self-important, unattractive, over the hill desperate women in the city."

The show has body odor.

never really watched the show but I always thought Kim Cattrall was kinda sexy..for someone old enough to be my mom

Best shows on TV(fiction -based)

• The Wire
• Deadwood - my current fave; anyone else watching this one?
• The Sopranos
• Southpark

I don't think I watch anything at all on network television.

Actually, you know a show I remember I really liked- and I am not kidding here I am totally serious- I really thought The Waltons was a gem of television writing and production. I loved that show. Maybe becasue it was written from the perspective of John boy Walton, who was trying to develop as a writer- but I loved the family, the chracters, the house, the setting, the writing, the stories- I loved that show.

I doubt a similar show would sell any commercials now.
