Joan of Arcadia: A girl is told to do things by God, who spends most of the time masquerading as a hot guy. Let me get this straight -- he's nice, he'd like you to do constructive things to become a better person, and he's adorable? And the downside is where, exactly?
One Tree Hill: Guy impregnates girl in high school, girl has baby, guy goes off to college for four years, then gets married and has son. Both sons are exactly the same age. Never do the math.
Skin: Romeo and Juliet, but with porn.
Tarzan: Romeo and Juliet, but with Romeo thinking he's a monkey who models underwear.
Miss Match: Alicia Silverstone makes successful romantic matches. The fact that she can't do the same thing with her movie career escapes everyone in Production.
Coupling: The British do everything better. No one told the production company.
Las Vegas: James Caan is ... well, I don't know what the hell he is, but it probably involves him being gruff and Josh Duhamel standing all pretty and cool in the background, and suddenly, I can't find anythin wrong with this show.
The Lyon's Den: Rob Lowe is in a suit and doing something legislative. This is absolutely not written by Aaron Sorkin ... I think.
Jake 2.0: There's a nerd, and he's cute. There's a doctor, and she can get Jake to take his shirt off on command. There's a girl Jake's had a crush on since college, and she's made entirely out of wax, cream cheese, and KY jelly. Yeah, I don't get it, either.
The Mullets: Someone went to Pennsylvania and filmed my neighbors.
Karen Sisco: How to proof anything can be better if Jennifer Lopez isn't involved in twelve easy episodes.
********
EDIT: Just a passing thought ... I wonder if I could get into the LOTR marathon showing for free just by flashing my arm tattoo. Okay, so probably not.
Sheesh, you'd think a permanent tattoo of the One Ring inscription would be workable geek street cred somewhere.

Date: 2003-10-19 05:46 pm (UTC)Due to my personal history, I suppose I could go with either "National Honor Society cred," "SADD cred," or my personal favorite, "stocking-the-cafeteria-vending-machines cred".
Yeah, they don't sound all that cool, either.
Yearbook cred?
All right, all right. I'll shut up.

Date: 2003-10-20 05:34 pm (UTC)watched Joan of Arcadia for the first time the other day. interesting concept.
i tried to do the math on One Tree Hill once and hurt my head. but thats what Ben & Jerry's is for.
i plan to watch Skin tonight, so we shall see. as for Tarzan, nothing wrong with an underwear model running around. and the WB knows this, which is why they know it isn't important that he has lines longer than two words or that he actually, i don't know, acts.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with Las Vegas. James Caan is gruff and funny, so A+ right there, and Josh Duhamel is so pretty i have to wipe the drool off my tv set every monday night. -sigh-
yeah, i know you needed to know all this, but bear with me, i had a 16oz cup of coffee this morning and it just now hit me.
g'nite all. -poof-
