Bad TV Appreciation Thread

[Ed Hocken]

No, no, no. The whole gay thing didn't happen until my senior year in college. (Although I do wonder what would have happened if that had come about around that time.)

On top of which, if there's one thing that does not exist in my family is that kind of prejudice.

It was moreso related to the woman my dad re-married, her kids and the fact I somehow drove her crazy because I had nothing to do but hang around the house all day. Basically one night in September, there's some giant argument. He then comes to my room and says "It's either you go or she's goes."

Funny I say all of this and yet I just kinda sorta had dinner with the man yesterday. Of course I barely speak to the guy. Before yesterday, it had been at least three or four months since I saw him.

I tried watching Pokemon for like a month. It went nowhere and confused the fuck outta me.

I just laughed at Digimon and realized I should probably try to start dating.

[Ed Hocken]

Now I would find it weird if Ari had started watching Pokemon. You would have been 20 at the time. I was just around 15-16 and being a dumbass as to how I spend my time. By doing such things as staying in class and thinking I'd be a writer. What mispent youth.

Glad to hear that the gay thing wasn't an issue. My niece is gay and doesn't think that any of us know (we've all suspected it for some time), so we all kinda have an agreement as to how we're all going to handle it when she decides to 'come out'. She's scared but she doesn't need to be.

[Ed Hocken]

It's fucking tough. Unless it's that obvious to everyone. It's also really do you want to tell your folks that you're having sex. That's like hearing about them having sex. I know when I was 17, I freaked the fuck out after seeing my mom make out with another guy. I wasn't use to that kind of affection. I'm completely serious.

Returning to our regular scheduled programming: if I ever get up at the appropriate time to beat the heat and go running or biking, I'll catch Saved By The Bell.

Always on TBS. Always at the same time in the morning. Forever. Until the end of time.

But it is a rare occasion that such a perfect storm of dated program-watching occurs, that I am strangely enthralled when it happens. And I usually cut time off my runs/rides when it occurs.

[Ed Hocken]

I felt the same way those many years ago when channel 5 would run 21 jump street episodes in the morning.

Have been watching old episode of The Cleveland Show. And it's not bad. I've laughed more at the last 3 episodes than Family guy in a long time. But it's still pretty bad.

[nerdious dorkus]

Cleveland Show is a lot more linear in plot progression, so I can't complain too much. But the plots have already been done by its older brother.

My thoughts

[Abraham Smashington]

Remedy not seeing Community right now.

[Abraham Smashington]

And yes, Operation Repo is fucking stupid as fuck. Although, I'm hooked on Pawn Stars. That shit is gold.

[Ari]

Pawn Stars and Hoarders and now taking up way too much of my time.
