We’re gonna have a TV party tonight!
Posted on July 28, 2006 @ 7:24 am
During the year I spent playing The Game That Shall Not Be Named, I pretty much stopped watching television altogether (or doing anything else, for that matter). Now that I’ve gone cold turkey, though, I seem to have developed truly awful taste in television. Check out what I’m watching this summer…
- My Fair Brady: For some unfathomable reason, I find Adrienne Curry ridiculously funny. I think I’ve seen every episode of the latest season at least twice now. Yeah, I know — somebody shoot me now.
- Miami Ink: I’m not sure why I’m so fascinated with this show; every episode is exactly the same. Someone who has lost a brother/mother/sister/father/friend comes into the shop and wants a tattoo of something silly like a Bengal tiger chewing on a Honda emblem with the phrase “Our Princess is in Another Castle” written under it to commemorate their loss, because “that’s the way I want to remember them.”
- My Life on the D-List: I can’t tell if I’m laughing with Kathy Griffin or laughing at Kathy Griffin. No, wait…I’m pretty sure it’s the second one.
- What Not to Wear: I don’t even want to talk about this one.
Thank goodness for Deadwood on DVD and The Colbert Report to keep my life from being a total waste. Stephen Colbert is a golden god. In fact, I think I’ll take this opportunity to officially announce Stephen Colbert as Apropos of Something’s new patron saint. Better luck next time, St. Thomas Aquinas.
All hail Colbert! All hail Colbert!

I love Kathy’s Show My Life on the D-List. She’s so funny. My favorite part is when she’s talkin’ about her gays!
Love your site! So nice! I surfed by on Blog Explosion!
My shame…I’m addicted to So You Think You Can Dance.
Check out Colbert on the cover of the latest issue of Wired.
The article he wrote is pretty funny:
Be an Expert on Anything
By Stephen Colbert
…PICK A FIELD THAT CAN’T BE VERIFIED. Try something like string theory or God’s will: “I speak to God. I’m sorry that you can’t also.” Security experts are in this category: They have security clearances, we don’t. We can’t question the expertise of the NSA because we are not in the NSA…

I’ve been mostly keeping my TV on the movie channels and watching cartoon reruns. My only vice for TV right now is “America’s Got Talent,” simply because I love the Rapping Granny.
I’ve always thought the man funny but after the WH Correspondent’s Dinner I pretty much pledge eternal love and admiration to this man. Anyone that funny and that fearless deserves legions of fans. Now if he only had a logo which I could have inked on my body … sigh … eVerything would be perfect.
The only show I feel I MUST watch is Project Runway. “You’re either in, or you’re out!” Awesome.
Two funny stories about Miami Ink:
1) My wife and I were watching last night when I came to the realization that just about every episode (well, at least on average) someone is always getting a tatoo of a koi fish. We figured that the my first tattoo should either be a dead koi fish or something a eats a koi fish.
2) My wife got a tattoo done from Kat Von Dee’s husband.
…something a eats a koi fish.
That has to be a raccoon. You have to put up an electric fence to keep them out of your koi pond.
I need to start watching Deadwood from the beginning. I just recently got HBO so I have NO idea what’s going on. It’s not really a show that you can pick up on the fly, at least not the episodes that I’ve seen…I have an odd crush on Ian McShane, though. It’s something in the eyes…
I think we watch the same shows. Kathy Griffin cracks me up-I have decided I want about 50 tattoos if I could ever afford (even one) from the dudes at Miami Ink- and My Fair Brady? I was biting my nails. Surfed here while voting on the BOTBs.
I’m a TV addict as well and my (hardcore) WoW playing never interfered. I had the best setup!
My laptop sat right next to my monitor on my desk, while I played I watched downloaded TV shows on the laptop.
I’m also a die hard So You Think You Can Dance fan!
Other shows you might want to check out are:
House
My Name is Earl
Lost
The Shield
Big Brother All Stars
Scrubs
Firefly
Ugh there are just so many, I could list for days
Nice tatoo! I was born on year of the tiger. So, in case I need a tatoo, this is one is cool. You had my vote.
God, I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I’ve actually set the Tivo to record The Janice Dickensen Modeling Agency. It’s oddly compelling to see who she is going to bitch out each week.
Jess, you have won the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award this week for that picture. Congrats!
