In honor of Conan O'Brien's extremely unfortunate last night on the Tonight Show, I feel like I should show my support on Terententen. I'm already eagerly awaiting his return to television which will apparently be in September some time. I can't see someone not picking him up. I've been a fan since ~1995. I remember racing home from the boardwalk every night during the Summer to catch Letterman and then switching over to Late Night with Conan O'Brien wishing he was on CBS and not having to switch the channel. It would have been so much cooler if the 2 best late night hosts were just on back to back. I remember watching the Comedy Central replays every afternoon during my senior year of college and being pissed off when they just weren't on anymore. And more recently, when Conan went to the Tonight Show, although I couldn't stay up, I started DVR'ing the shows and watching during dinner the next day. 16 years of Conan and NBC could have probably had 16 more. Instead they go and blow it for a few more years of old man Leno and his boring excuse for a show. I enjoy Jimmy Fallon's show as well. I just hope they don't screw him over like they're doing Conan. Oh well. Conan will land on his feet. He's too great not to. Screw you NBC. I don't care if I'm watching The Office on you as I type this up. I'll never consciously buy any product that advertises on your airwaves. Maybe not because I hate you but because I'm cheap. Regardless, I'm With Coco.
Since I saw the first promo, I've been wondering who at HBO Joe Buck had to blow to get his own TV show. I mean isn't it bad enough that he's on TV at all? I don't know how he even pulled that off, but c'mon now, his own show?
Quite frankly it's a sin to have Troy Aikman broadcasting Eagles games but then they throw that imbecile Joe Buck in the mix who clearly does not like Philadelphia, it's sports teams and it's fans. Maybe he knows we don't care too much for him but which came first, the chicken or the egg? The world may never know. So then we had to put up with him and two faced Tim McCarver during the Phillies World Series run. That was downright painful and I found myself screaming more at the two of them than the actual game play.
Regardless, as long as I've been wondering how he got his own show, I've known that there was no chance in hell that I would ever watch it. So when I heard that Artie Lange was going to be a guest on the first Joe Buck Live show, somehow for a minute, I actually thought about watching it to see Artie. Then I realized it's Joe Buck, he has his own friggin show, and even Artie couldn't get me to watch this abomination of TV programming.
Driving in to work this morning I was listening to Howard and I heard the clips from last night's premier. I instantly regretted not watching it. I'm going to watch the encore tonight to see how bad the whole show was, but the part with Artie killed. KILLED. It may have been one of the most awkward segments in television history and unfortunately it might have put Joe Buck on the map to get people to tune in to a show they would have never seen (I WILL NOT BE WATCHING AFTER TONIGHT I CAN GUARANTEE THAT) but Artie was hilarious in his Joe Buck submarining and I will never not watch another Artie appearance. In fact, I may have to go buy tickets to Artie's Vegas show next week. Hurry up and watch the video below before they all get pulled off the internet. HBO seems to be on a warpath of removal. Apparently some publicity is bad publicity? HBO should be ashamed if they call this inappropriate. And Artie, if somehow you read this, what about a book signing while you're in Vegas next week? It ain't scheduled on your site and that just ain't cool.
UPDATE: Yeah, so I just couldn't do it. Anything would be better than watching Joe Buck Live so I decided against wasting my time. I've already seen everything that I need to see.
Last night Jimmy Fallon had Zack Morris on Late Night. Not Mark-Paul Gosselaar but Zack frickin Morris. It was one of the most classic late night TV segments of all time. And he "talked" to Jesse on his cell and she's on for some Saved By The Bell reunion to which Slater, Lisa and Mr. Belding have apparently already agreed to. Now if only Kelly would get off her 90210 high horse and Screech would stop doing porn, we could have another magical SBTB mini series so that I can have something to watch other than my Saved By The Bell Hawaiian Style divx episodes.

An article came out today regarding Baseball Mired in a Mysterious Ratings Slump. Perhaps TV attendance is down because you�re showing nothing but crappy games all the time. Stop showing teams just because they�re winning at the moment. And no one cares about this worthless NL Central division that we always hear so much about. They�re boring. Even that Cardinals team that won a few years back sucked to watch. Stop showing NL Central games all the time. Apparently no one cares. That just might go for both Central divisions for that matter. No one cares about the heart of America. Those people don�t even care.
And we don�t need to see every single Mets and Red Sox game. They�re on all the time. Show teams with star power but don�t go overboard. I�m not a Yankees fan but they have a whole team of names that draw people� Arods, CCs, Jeters. I would watch them on TV even if they weren�t playing the Red Sox. They�re almost never on as much as they probably should be. No one wants to see the studs on the Brewers no matter how good they are. People want to see the champs. However only show the Phillies at night because they don�t seem to like to show up on nationally televised day games.
Personally I want to see the Lincecums of the league; not the feel good story pitchers, battling poverty and drug addiction, who at the moment are pitching over their heads. I'm guessing viewers probably stopped even looking to see what was on because they just naturally assumed it's some Roy Oswalt/who ever's the ace of the Pirates these days. I started writing this before I turned on the TV but guess who's on? Cardinals at Brewers. Man, I just love that Wainwright/Suppan match-up. Click.
And maybe, just maybe, get rid of bums Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. Don�t put them in more stuff. Get rid of them altogether. How on Earth did they become baseball announcers? Because they like baseball? Well I like baseball. That doesn't mean you should make me an announcer. I'm a mean person... Nevermind, I bet I'd have more fans than those 2 bums have. I would just hope not to have something like a I Hate Joe Buck Facebook group about me.
Here's Jimmy Rollins having a little fun being a world effing champion. He's trying his best not to crack up while making those faces which consistently cracks me up. And then when he pats the kid on the ass after he gets destroyed by the baseball, it's just hilarious.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a picture of the hottest prostitute on the greatest Telenovela of all time. However, I know my audience, I know what they want and hopefully I've come through. My post from last April on Marjorie de Sousa is my my most popular post week after week. So, after searching high and low, I think I found a picture that's Terententen worthy. Here's a little Carmen Villalobos who plays Catalina on Sin Senos no hay Para�so. It's what I'll be watching between the hours of 12 and 1 on most weekday afternoons and you shouldn't judge me until you've watched a show that, according to Wikipedia, is about "an attractive young prostitute who desires to have massive breast implants in order to attract a rich cocaine smuggler". Every time I tell people that, they think I'm making it up however I couldn't come up with a plot that fantastic. I mean who has the balls to put that show on TV? My hero, that's who. And it's not just Catalina traipsing around in skimpy outfits, it's about a few more main prostitutes walking around in next to nothing at almost all times. I don't really know what's going on half the time but with this show, you really don't need to know. You just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. So click on the picture, like I said it was hard to find so it only gets a little bigger. Regardless, enjoy the weekend.
To what do I owe this honor? The Cubs at Phillies game is on TBS HD at 10:30AM and the Flyers at Capitols game is on NBC HD at 11:00AM. Two Philadelphia games on at the same time and both on HD. The future is looking bright. Or something like that. Because now they just gotta win.

I hate to do this, honestly, I do. I thought long and hard about not doing it. 2 days later and I've finally decided to do it. I feel like a drug dealer. The worst kind. Or better yet, I feel like the guy who puts "Don't Push" on the big red button. But this is too good of a read not to give you the option. But it's like Meth, once you start, you can't stop. So don't start reading thinking you'll just be able to stop. And if it's correct, which it really really really feels like it is, it will fill up holes and mysteries that you just might not want filled up. I kind of regret reading it. But damn, it felt good to find out all about the secrets of Lost.
P.S. I'm pretty sure this was just written by some dude. Not anyone involved in the actual show. But if I didn't know better, I'd think it was J.J. himself writing it.
Yeah, it was something like that. If only all the episodes could be that nuts. It was almost like watching an Eagles game. However, after that show I can go on with my life without contemplating suicide.
"If I (the ex boyfriend) wanted to get back together with you (the contestant), would you leave your husband?" How can they ask a question like that on Moment of Truth and still have a crappy show? Honestly, a show with so much promise and yet I don't want to watch it. Not even after seeing that commercial do I want to watch this show. They ruined it with too much needless suspense and commercials. I mean when they only ask about 10 questions, if we're lucky, over the course of an hour, it just isn't worth watching. What a disappointment.
You know, it's never good when Football season is over. On February 5th I know I'll already be highly anticipating next football season. But you know what I won't be missing? I'm sure you do because of the title of this post. Yes, these stupid, horrible commercials. I mean the beginning of the year all we saw was that "NFL replay on NFL N" commercial. And it was also that terrible John Melloncamp commercial that was heavily played the first half of the season but has trailed off at this point. But no. As irritating as that Melloncamp commercial was, this "Iron Man" commercial is even worse. I mean it's been around all football season and it just keeps getting stronger. It's on practically every single commercial break and when they don't show it during a break, they show it twice during the next break. If Matt didn't just IM me after the last commercial break, coincidentally when I started writing this post, I wouldn't even know it was a Nissan commercial. I just know that 10 weeks ago when that commercial would come on, I would bang, drumming, on my desk. I know 8 weeks ago when that commercial would come on I would be amazed that it was on again. And I know now when that commercial comes on I bang my head against my desk hoping it will stop and we can actually watch some football. I just hope Sneak King can infiltrate the CBS and Nissan headquarters and take out their head marketing people so that I can actually enjoy a football game for more than 5 minutes at a time next season. Please.

Got a show everyone should watch. I watched half last night and half tonight and it's painfull but fun TV. Throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Network did an episode where he competed against Tony Luke's in making a better cheesesteak. I know most of you have been to Tony Luke's now so it may be more interesting to you. Tony Luke's used to be my favorite until John's so I definitely had to be rooting for them. If it was Bobby against Geno's though, I'd been rooting for Bobby all the way. Those crappy cheeseteak places need to be exposed. You guys should try to catch it, it'll be on again on 10/22 at 4:00 PM, 10/22 at 11:00 PM and on 10/23 at 2:00 AM. Tivo it. I did and I'll watch it again to drive myself nuts.
I just got done watching the last 4 episodes of Nip/Tuck. It was a lot of Nip/Tuck and I struggled a little bit, but the season is getting much better. It was very Sean's new baby and Sean messing up heavy in the beginning which I didn't like, but everything has seemed to work itself out. Next week's looks like it's getting back to that though so I'm not sure if I'll be too happy. But the 4 hours went by pretty quick and some crazy stuff happened which is why we watch the show to begin with. Oh, and Kimber was around and wearing lingerie which is also why we watch the show. Yeah, definitely.
Just caught up with the last 2 episodes of Nip/Tuck and I have to say, I don't know why the hell I watch this show. It makes me sick, drives me insane and I should just stop watching. But I can't. 3rd season and every episode is still like a bad car wreck that I can't seem to turn away from. Sean's about to have a handicapped baby and he's cheating on Julia? Christian might be gay? What the hell is going on. And now there's more man ass than ever before. What happened to all the hot 90% naked girls? I just caught more naked girl on a fast forwarded Victoria's Secret commercial than I saw during the whole 3rd episode. Kimber's only been around for like 5 minutes in 1 episode out of the first 3 episodes. That's just disgraceful. Well except for the recent increase in male nudity, it's the same old show I guess. It was just easier to swallow the train wreck they call lives while looking at naked chicks. This show is great. I hate it.
Oh man, this interview with Justin Timberlake on Letterman is great. Best interview I can remember. I most certainly have to find this on YouTube tomorrow. Oh man I wish I was retired. Then I could watch this stuff all the time. Life would be so great. I'm hungry.

Tomorrow is the first Nip/Tuck Tuesday of the season. That my friends is awesome. This week in general is awesome. Football starts on Thursday which is also a pay day, the WNBA won't get in the way of good programming after Saturday, the Eagles play on Sunday and then there's hours more football on Sunday and Monday, then to top it off, I have off Monday and Tuesday. There's lots of stuff to look forward to, probably so much, I'm forgetting a lot of it. Here's a picture of Kimber. You're welcome.
