Oh, Dustin. Where to start?

- Don't you usually link to the reviews of the shows that have been reviewed? Lazy!!

- You're probably going to get a shitstorm for not acknowledging Sons of Anarchy as worth watching. (I haven't watched Sons of Anarchy, but I've heard it's good, and I believe it.)

- I'm not entirely sure I believe you about this alleged grandfather. Then again, you did grow up in Arkansas, right?

MM: Honest to God, 100 percent true. He had to have much of his intestines removed the last year of his life, and refused to stay in a hospital. Can you imagine a 375 pound man basically leaking to death in his bedroom? Oh, and his dying words -- his precious, precious dying words were (no lie): "I don't want no goddamn preachers."

As they say down in Arkansas, that man was a character. He also loved prostitutes. I wish I were kidding.

Dustin If he was also the father of your father, I'm going to go ahead and say you are beating me in the "my life and family was actually like a Tennessee Williams play, only worse" competition.

As for Ma Duggar, you really think she only tucks her uterus back in once a day? I'm honestly thinking more like many times a day, especially if she coughs, sneezes, laughs, hiccups, burps, moves, or breathes.

DR,
We do not fault you for being (even inexplicably) into 'The Good Wife', so let us codgers have our 'NCIS'.
We all agree on the really 'good' shows, right?

I might be slightly drunk, but goddamn...that Tom Delay video had me laughing so hard I was quite certain I was going to die.

Oh Hammer...I wish your faith could be the faith of all egotistical narrow-minded GOP assholes. If only Karl Rove would deign to dance the Samba...I would die laughing, but what a way to go.

Also, just to show I am not a complete partisan asshole, Bill Frist, I have huge love for you today, man...huge.

Sons.Of.Anarchy.

That is all.

Dan's recaps of Dancing With the Stars are all I need. They're fantastic, and I don't even have to watch the show to get some snark!

Ugh, I think that video turned me straight.

The cure for homosexuality is watching Tom Delay dance.

Dustin, all respect to your departed grandfather. Any man who loves prostitutes and wants no preachers at his funeral has many redeeming values.

I heard that The Bugman (a/k/a Indicted Tom DeLay) quit Dancing with the Stars. I think it was because he got too gay and his own medulla threatened to disown him.

alphawhiskey, what's wrong with Dirty Jobs are the dirty jobs. As attractive as Mike Rowe is, I can't watch the show 'cause it makes me gag. The stuff he has to do is just way too icky for me.

I have a dirty job for Mike Rowe, and it's in my pants!

NCIS is an old lady show. My 64-year-old mom watches it. And Mark Harmon was never particularly hot, at least to me, and now he's kinda old. So... no. All those alphabet shows (except for the original Vegas CSI) are just a big lump of mediocrity to me. I can't tell them apart. And don't want to. The only reason I know they're still on TV is when Joel McHale makes fun of them on The Soup.

RE "Mike Rowe at a puppy killing farm" - heh, heh, funny

And man, you are not kidding. Last night was truly a vast wasteland. On almost every channel (granted, I have only basic cable, so the picking's weren't likely to be all that great anyway), shit. Shit about people dancing, or trying to lose weight or some idiotic "celebrity" or some pointless, overly dramatized competition. Even trusty PBS wasn't worth watching. I watched a bit of "Sons of Anarchy, " and... meh. It's OK. Maybe I'd have enjoyed it more if I knew what the fuck was going on. It basically looks like The Sopranos, only with bikers in CA instead of mobsters in Jersey. But Katey Sagal is smokin' hot. I did watch The Good Wife. Man, that thing is predictable, but it involved people actually acting, so that's something, I guess.

I'm just really sqeamish.
