Take a look at some of the pilots that the networks are ordering/have bought: www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ListSomeShows/listid-DevelUSNetWhat person thinks "gee Mystery Science Theater 3000 shouldn't even be on TV let alone have new episodes, Jessica Simpson? Hilary Duff? MC Hammer? Oh, let's give them shows."? Well thank god for TV Land because network TV is just about dead (creatively).

After looking at that list,I have to ask myself this questoin. Why the hell are they doing a Teen Wolf show? Maybe it's just me but I think most people are done with Teen Wolf after the second film bombed.

I'm a firm believer that you can't just blame the supplier, you have to consider the customer. If networks are supplying crap it's because the majority of the viewing public likes crap. When I'm in the checkout line at the supermarket and see The Enquierer and the like it's easy to fault the magazines but they wouldn't be there if they didn't get snapped up. I have little respect for the tastes of the general public. And if that sounds snobby it's because I an a snob. Maybe not Kevin Murphy snobbish but a snob none the less.

So true and so sad. I watch so little TV now and I get tired of ones I used to watch. I loved "Everybody Loves Rayond" when it first came on, man did I laugh. And it's not like it's no longer funny but It's the same thing. Mom will bust in and but in, Ray will be ineffectual, wife will get upset and brothers jealous. Okay, after a few seasons it gets old to me.
Right now I'm loving CSI, but I wodenr if I'll get tired of that after a while as well?
How did MST keep my interest for so many years?

How did MST keep my interest for so many years? My guess would be quality. Many here have suggested that MST should be on TV and it's so much better that what's on but let's face it, we're the minority. MST had 10 years to establish a following and it just won't sell to the masses. it's a niche show and that's the great thing about cable, they didn't have to deliver huge network ratings. MST never would have made it on regular TV. We are the minority.

I hate to say it Forest but South Park isn't what it use to be. It's getting down to being a medicore show. Sadly it's still the best comedy on TV. It use to be really funny for the first two seasons but after the movie there was really no where to go. When they really killed Kenny, you knew they had lost some of the magic they once had.

I wind up a lot on The History Channel, Discovery, TLC and stuff like that but you still have to selective. They have a lot of nonsense also.

CSI New York? man their gonna bleed that series to death. It's got Gary Sinese tho, and I like him.
I think they should meld "Naked Hotel" with the untitled Jennifer Love Hewitt project. NOW that's a show I'd watch.

CSI New York? man their gonna bleed that series to death. "CSI" is CBS's "Law and Order". Variation after tired variation of the same thing. Over and over.

NOW that's a show I'd watch. Does "Nakid" mean "Naked"? Because I'm all for Jennifer Love Hewitt naked. I think that would be her best work.

Listen to this "gem":
"Celebrity Temps"
A reality series in which celebrities trade places with regular people for a day.
Imagine the possibilities.
