Fox fishes for reality in "Green Acres"

The Bush scanner story is an urban legend. He was examining a new type of scanner at a convention that had not been released yet. It could scan around corners, and Bush remarked he'd never seen that. Which was logical, since that was a prototype.

Very close, but not a 'urban legend'.

Try a blatent political lie. Carville/Begalla took the clip and edited out the part where the sales weanie explained how it could read damaged or torn bar codes and then shopped what was left to their friends at CBS, etc.

I recall hearing Carville brag on their work one time in a candid moment.

The whole point of course was to show how 'out of touch' Bush Sr. was.

Of course when Hillary is befuddled at a supermarket, it is so cute to our national media and shows how she is trying to relate to commoners.

What I meant...fingers not a-workin' this morning...need a blast of 'shine...

Look out! Its likely to be more like Hooterville meets Jerry Springer. Arnold the pig is probably going to be gay.

I see. Yep, the condescention shown by the elites on both coasts for those here in "flyover country" is sickening. I think it boils down to jealousy. Since they can't enjoy a life with little crime, low stress, and traditional values, they want to make damn sure none of the rest of us can.

As far as Hillary goes, they can have her. How about putting Sumner Redstone into the ghetto culture MTV is always glamourizing, think that might be good for a few larfs?

I agree. Frontier House was one of the most enjoyable shows I've seen. I just wish they hadn't condensed it down so much. Maybe a couple more episodes. Same goes for 1900 House - Æ

The networks need to take a lesson from PBS when it comes to reality shows. What was the name of it -- Frontier House? That was good reality TV.

Strongly agree...one of the few projects they delivered that was worth watching IMHO.

[hattend]

For this they canceled Dark Angel, Futurama, X-Files, Titus, etc.

Way to go, Fox...you morons.

Why watch the re-make when you can see the original on Nick at Night?

inflicting Hillary (ptui!) on NI

I'm going to adopt the habit of spitting after typing Hillary's (ptui!) name. Isn't it supposed to ward off evil spirits or something?
