    Sex and the City.

    Life in prison for all four co-stars. With their legs chained shut.

    Tonight, it will be Richard Korn’s show on Comcast (Channel 28).

    Larry King.

    Hands down.

    I don’t consider a talk show like O’Reilly Factor or Larry King to be a TV show in the truest sense of the word. Rather, the scripted and fictional sitcoms and dramas are TV shows. If you include talk shows, then yes, O’Reilly Factor and the Hannity Hate Hour win going away.

    For regular TV shows, anything involving Paris Hilton.

    Most of them are pretty dumb, especially sitcoms. If you qualify a show on TV that actually makes you dumber after watching it, I’d have to say O’Reilly and Hannity count. I can think of one show I really hated – “The Man Show.” Is that still on?

    DD, you’re saying that O’Reilly isn’t fictional.

    Oh God, no!

    Definitely Dancing With The Stars. What is the friggin’ point?

    Oh Xstryker- it’s a lost art, and a great workout to watch. And those costumes….and to see the personalities definitely out of a comfort zone, learn something, and be vulnerable. And it replaces the days of Lawrence Welk!!

    Anything on the Science Fiction Channel.

    Years ago, when I first heard of the Science Fiction Channel, I thought, “This is going to be great!”

    Then came reality. I wasted two hours of my life watched a SciFi Channel movie 100 Million BC last Sunday that was just so fornicating bad that I have no idea how anyone connected with it deserved a single dime for it.

    The plot was sort of lame, but at least could have worked. Back in 1950, scientist discovers a method of time travel, but it isn’t perfected. He wound up sending his older brother and a group of people into the distant past. Fast forward to today: some rappellers discover a cave where the people hid, complete with messages from the distant past. Said scientist has perfected his device, and wants to go back and get his friends. A Navy SEAL search and rescue team accompanies him.

    OK so far, despite some really bad acting. Now, this movie was produced in 2008, a whole fifteen years after Jurassic Park. Yet while the special effects in Jurassic Park were good enough to make it seem real, the special effects — really just dinosaurs — were so bad, so lame, that they looked like they predated Jurassic Park by fifteen years.

    Well, after a couple of the SEALs get et (that is the past tense of eat, right?) by raptors and some other carnivorous dino, they discover the four survivors of the group sent back in 1950. Only six years had passed for them, so they were still relatively young. But these 1950 vintage characters apparently had access to (torn) clothing from the 21st century, combs, shampoo, make-up and razors.

    It was so, so, so lame.

    And then, it was followed by an even lamer movie, Lost City Raiders.

    I’m ashamed to say that I sat through both of them.
