LAME


(I'm sorry, but it seems REALLY LAME)

[Hildy]

I've seen a preview of this show....it's a tearjerker all right.

[Huck]

LOL. JACQUES STEINBERG of the NY Times discussing red states. That's funny.

[IncPen]

It's insulting, is what it is.

"We're NBC. We're going to buy viewers! By making them feel... pathetic!"

How elitist. How arrogant.

[Petronski]

I'll advise you not to watch.


I doubt I'll watch either, btw.

[popdonnelly]

What's NBC?

[billnaz]

NBC is obviously trying to get in touch with the red states. They have what appears to be a pro-military series, "The E-Ring," starting next week. If the show lives up to its hype I just might start watching NBC again, at least for one hour each week.

[Paul8148]

Scrubs is they best show NBC has and they have not even annonce a return date.

[Hugin]

Never cared for scrubs. Las Vegas is OK, but it's on at the same time as 24 so I only watch it in reruns. Medium is pretty good. The Apprentice is the only reality show worth watching. That's about it for NBC primetime for me.

Aside from 24 the best shows are on cable. I love Rescue Me on FX. The Comeback and Entourage on HBO are good. Not a whole lot else out there that I ever make it a point to watch.

Part of the left's plan to co-opt "values".

Maybe they should do "Kramer Moves To Kansas."

Kramer: Oh, I'm putting up Frank's screen door. This beauty's got a little life in her yet.

Jerry: What do you need it for?

Kramer: (Closing door) The cool evening breezes of Anytown, USA. Let's see how this baby closes. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[JoJo Gunn]

But will it even begin to approach the quality benchmark of "Queen for a Day"? (rolleyes)

[Milhous]

What's NBC?

An Olds Media product that craves eyeballs.

[Keith in Iowa]

>>>Las Vegas is OK...

That NBC show is OK...and in HDTV, Niki Cox is something...

[WoodstockCat]

I despise reality TV whether it's giving good handouts or showing people fight off four-foot sharks or swim in a tank of maggots.

[johnny7]

They all go to up-state NY... 'pie country'... and visit a bubble-boy. On the way, they can stop in a diner... that's Americana... that's the ticket!

[Grig]

Sounds rather condescending to me. 'Here you poor, ignorant red-stater. So sorry you can't live in a real city so we'll make it up by granting you a wish...'

[Warren_Piece]

This is obviously an attempt to catch up with ABC and their "Extreme Makeover - Home Edition" enterprise. I LOVE EMHE (anybody who doesn't has NO humanity), so I'll probably watch this show as well.
