Sorry Wayne, but I'm on their side on that one. There's enough crude language about (and I use it more often than I should) without it being used as a way of promoting a great country.

It has been accepted as suitable for general usage in this country for well over a century, perhaps not in the parlour, but certainly on the veranda.

I'm happy that "Out Of Practice" is back on and to make it better it kicked "Still Standing" off. I tried to like the last but the characters were just too pettily despicable. OOP has a lot of the same people in the background that worked on "Frasier".

Nice intro, sorta who the doctor is and where he comes from, and the girl he's taking along. Seemed fairly typical on the plotlines, cheesy but fun. The effects were also good in the fakey Dcotor Who vein. I imagine CGI will help that a bit. Most of my goodies are SciFi, Stargate, Alantis, BSG. The Shield and 24 are the other make time for shows. TCM gets a peek all the time just in case. And Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Other than that CSI or L&O for background noise. Rest of it is brainless dreck.

"Please to meet you Rose Tyler. Run for your life!" There are some good episodes coming up, although if you can, try and switch it off just as the final credits roll. Each episode has spoilers for the next episode. And one episode has the biggest spolier in the title. You'll know it when you see it. Just imagine the fan reaction if they had banned all spoliers and titled the episode "A Voice In The Wilderness". And watch out for the Bad Wolf. SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese.

Yeah, good shows would be a shorter list. Saw that here in the states, showed two episodes on Sci-fi last Friday. Was pretty good, but in my opinion Tom Baker was the best Dr Who.

Jamie Gertz was easy on the eyes. WmB >> Hi Troops: >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> :-) Bill Shuey > my vote is for american inventor a total waste of a potential good show I'm going to go with an entire category of shows. The category that you will find celebrity gossip pandered about: Entertainment Tonight, Inside, Inside Edition, the E! Channel, etc. Biggest waste of broadcast bandwidth in the US.

My vote is for "Wifeswap"! > > :-) Bill Shuey Not pointing to anyone inparticular, but the sad thing is how many folks have so little to do as to spend time in front of the tube watching crap like that. Now and again I watch "The Soup" on E (yeah, I know what you're thinking) which pokes fun at shows like that, and it amazes me at the proliferation of absolute mindless, bone numbing, lowest common denominator, CRAP being shown on TV. Makes me feel like a bonafide intellect building models in my shop. Rusty White > Hi Troops: > > I have my agitator's hat on tonight. Lets have a poll on what is the > stupidest show on TV.

MNF is moving to ESPN so the prospects are dwindling even more. On the cable/SAT channels, Battlestar Galactica and the Cable News are about it. Used to watch the History Channel quite a bit but I find myself covering familiar territory too much. I'm definitely in support of the propsed "a la carte programming" legislation currently being considered. I could get by with about a half to a dozen channels and no more. WmB That is what I would support - I find myself surprised over and over again when some new channel shows up and then find out it has been available for a couple of months! >> After years of declining interest,this season I've more or less given >> up on tv.I watch old movies on DVD and on rare occasions Nova and [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > WmB THe mind boggles at the thought of trying to pick the stupidest show on TV!!! >Hi Troops: > > I have my agitator's hat on tonight. Lets have a poll on what is the >stupidest show on TV. My vote is for "Wifeswap"! > >:-) Bill Shuey : I have my agitator's hat on tonight. Lets have a poll on what is the : stupidest show on TV. My vote is for "Wifeswap"! Anything on ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX with the exception of "Bones" - the only broadcast show I watch from the 4. Anything on The History Channel. Jeez, do some basic research on the subject, eh? Anything dealing with UFOs, Atlantis and/or psychics. Anything dealing with redneck racin' aka NASCAR. Not that NASCAR is bad, but it is oversaturated, overhyped and I don't like any of the drives today. So, out with The NASCAR Network, err The Speed Channel. Anything dealing with poker. Gaa!!! Its as bad as NASCAR in terms of hype and saturation. Anything that is a so-called "reality show". What a patently absurd farce those things are. Anything that shows pro basketball, hockey or baseball. The NBA is amazingly well described by the description of the balhog in "Bored of the Rings", hockey thinks it has to be "brawling on ice" and baseball - spit, scratch, stare, spit, scratch, pitch. Repeat. Ugh! Dr. Who - so far, so good, with 2 episodes down. Billie Piper passes the optical test, and the new doctor is, I think, much better than the two that followed Tom Baker. I thought the ipod gag was great. Bruce Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"
