Game Show Mania

Click the title to link to a very interesting piece coming from The Onion and Youtube. It is a listing of fifteen game shows ready for revival, with a link to a clip of a version of the show. This is worth visiting if only to see one of the more bizarre and needlessly complicated game show concepts, the bonus round of Whew!, and for a look at the short-lived Second Chance, later to be sucessfully rebranded as Press Your Luck.

Potty Mouth

I'm not sure how this story fits in with the "liberal bias" (sigh) this website claims to expose and combat, but it's a great clip and transcript of a moment CNN would like to forget.

Kyra Phillips went into the bathroom, and somehow managed to have her mircophone transmit part of her coversation over top of live coverage of President Bush's speech. It's nice to know she thinks men are assholes, but that she really loves her husband, and that her sister in law is a control freak.

So what will the court of public opinon say? Will she have to answer for her disparaging comment towards men? Or will she just go on "The View" and laugh it all off?

Celebrity Fat Club

Last night I got my first chance to see an episode of the show I am most embarassed about watching, VH1's Celebrity Fit Club. In case you have never seen this slice of reality, washed up overweight celebrities go to fat camp where they are put through their paces in a mostly vain effort to lose weight. This season (why bother with their real names) you get to see Big Pussy, Issiac, Jennifer Keaton, and the girl from Wilson Phillips who got her stomach stapled, posed naked for Playboy, but still managed to regain the weight, sweat off the pounds. And those are the people you have heard of. The biggest complainer so far is Angie "15" Stone, who can somehow cite her care about wanting to spend more time with her children as a reason not to endanger her health with a workout, but can't find that same level of care for her children to not endanger her health by eating a pastrami sandwich.
