Do we have to provide our own lids?

Man, I've been gone too long...Been through a lot over the past 6 months, though. I'm a changed man.

1.) Watched the entire series of Freaks and Geeks again (thrice).

2.) Finally realized that Lloyd, the Aussie from Undeclared is the actor Charlie Hunnam and Pete Dunham from Green Street Hooligans. My crush on all three has multiplied.

2.) I now own the entire series of Arrested Development, and I have finally forgiven David Cross for Alvin and the Chipmunks.

3.) The amount of information stored within my brain regarding Larry David, especially Curb Your Enthusiasm, could be considered stalker-ish at this point.

4.) I have not seen a single episode of Two and a Half Men since July, though I did enjoy picturing Charlie Sheen up to his elbows in blow and hookers. A briefcase full, really?!

5.) Also discovered possibly my favorite television character (aside from Shaun and Gus, JD and Turk, Michael Scott and ALL of The Wire): Hank Moody

Of course. Psych's been superb...That could simply be because I'm such a Shaun and Gus homer. Either way, I'm still a big fan. It took me a while, but I'm finally in on Burn Notice as well. White Collar is solid too, but Matthew Bomer will always be Bryce Larkin to me.

Ok well thanks to none of you I went ahead and watched the first half of the first season of Deadwood. Suffice to say it is an amazing show and I'm glad I started watching it even though I know it has no real ending.

Not that I agree with yo123, but, as someone who watches wrestling, are you really one to comment on what constitutes something being "terrible"?

Wrestling storylines have far more merit than anything in Blue Mountain State, and it's not even close.

About a month ago, I was pregaming at my friends place in boston before we went out to the bars. We were flipping through the tv and stopped on wrestling because of how funny something looked. We watched for ten minutes and I literally sat there awe struck that anyone on this planet could find entertainment in something so corny, fake, and poorly acted. I feel like your far and away above that Broddy.

It depends entirely on what or who you were watching.

It looked like the guys in your video. Idk there was a team or something and it was an awards show (an awards show for fake wrestling?) and they were arguing over whether to let the guy from the shaving ads and other movies back into their group. Idk the guy speaking dragged this speech on for literally ten minutes. Jonanthan ceia was his name? Idk it was terrible. Not that I expected anything better, but I certainly was surprised at how much more terrible it was than I thought it would be.

That was a long lasting storyline, and you aren't exactly nailing the kinks of it down. They royally ****** it up because John Cena can never look bad for too long, but still.

Jvig43 · 01-30-2011, 01:28 PM

Brod it was ******* terrible my friend, regardless if I didn't know the stroyline.

Brodeur · 01-30-2011, 01:32 PM

It was not terrible, you're terrible.

Yeah but you like Glee rendering your opinion on television utterly and completely useless. In fact I don't even know why I'm acknowledging this post's existence.

Maybe not, but wrestling is still underappreciated.

Glee may have some clichés when it comes to characters and storylines, and may be a bit over the top, but it isn't close to as bad as Blue Mountain State. Blue Mountain State is a sexist, sophomoric, insanely ******** show without a single redeeming quality. It's right next to Mind of Mencia as the worst thing to ever be on television.
