Mmmm...smorgageboard

Overrated TV Show
Deal or No Deal--I just don't get America's fascination with this show. There is absolutely no talent, skill, or brains needed to be on it or win (well, maybe this is why America loves it so much...). The whole concept of the show is stupid. The contestant picks boxes and the "banker" offers money. It's the same thing the whole show. How the hell did this become the number 1 show?! Come on people, I know you have better taste than this. I will admit that I have watched it a few times, including tonight, but the only thing that keeps me watching is how ridiculous the contestants, the fam members, and the audience gets. Tonight's show had a (I'm assuming) gay guy and he was very flamboyant and all over the place, so he was entertaining to watch, but other than that I don't make sure to tune in every MWF to watch it. Oh and Howie Mandel. I loved him in Bobbie's World; that was a great show. However, I saw him on some talk show and he was incredibly cocky about being the host of Deal or No Deal and kept saying how it's the number 1 show in America and blah blah blah. Who cares, Howie?! You stand up there and say "the banker's offer is $47,000...Deal or No Deal, Larry?."

Under-rated Shows
My Name is Earl--On the same network as Deal or No Deal, this show is a lot lower in the ratings (to my surprise) than Deal or No Deal. The concept is very original and every week it's something completely new and different. Earl wants to right all the wrongs from his past, so he makes up a list and sets out to make up for all his mistakes. The characters in the show are great; they're all pretty much hoosier white trash. It's just hilarious. So, fuck you, Howie Mandel.
The Office--I haven't seen too many episodes of this show, but I like what I've seen so far. It's a scripted "reality" show about an office. The characters are pretty hilarious and wide-ranging.
The Bernie Mac Show--I really like this show. Bernie ends up getting his sister's kids and has an unusual approach to parenthood and has a hard time adjusting to it. It's a different kind of sitcom.

Songs I really like right now:
- "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" by The Hollies
- "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC
- "Keep Fishin'" by Weezer (I love this video!)
- "Hurts So Good" by John Mellencamp
- "Across the Universe" by The Beatles
- "Miracle" by Foo Fighters
- "I Dare You" by Shinedown
- "Lazy Gun" by Jet

Some of the Greatest Inventions Ever:
TiVo--Ever since getting it I feel like I can't live without it. I can watch Seinfeld, My Name is Earl, and Jeopardy (yeah, I know I'm a dork) whenever I want, and that's such a great feeling. Plus we can save memorable moments such as the Bird Caller winners doing their thing and Tom Hanks' sound effects.
DJ ToneXpress--It lets you use MP3s from your computer to make your own ringtones and send them to your phone. You get to pick which part of a song you want and how long it lasts.

Other than that, GO CARDS! Kick some cub ass!
