I'll be watching Dancing with the Stars with you but I gotta say I'm not too excited about the new celebs at the moment. I hate change [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Jennie Garth aged remarkably well. I saw her on Celebrity Poker, not knowing who she was and I thought she looked fantastic. With Josie Moran also on the show, looks like they're trying to up the "hot women" quota.

Mark Cuban, I could do without.

I haven't regularly watched since season 2, so maybe I'll check it out this season.

The strange thing is that the hot girls tend not to do so well. Laila Ali isn't bad looking, but she's not a classically "hot" woman unless you dig Amazons. She definitely was a sexy dancer, though. OTOH, the two models last season got voted off right away. And look at earlier seasons. The successful women have been Lisa Rinna and Monique Whoeversheis. They're not exactly gracing the pages of Maxim. I think it's that not enough men watch this show, and those that do end up voting for the sports heroes over the models.

You forget Stacy Keibler making it to the final 3 in season 2 and getting 4 perfect scores along the way.

And former Playboy model Kelly Monaco making the final 2 in season 1.

You're right that I forgot Stacy. I didn't see the first season, so I don't know how hot Kelly Monaco is or how good a dancer she was. The thing is, in this past season, the models went out first, but they weren't the worst dancers. BRC, Clyde Drexler, and maybe some other guys were worse than them, but they couldn't pull votes. The women who are really good naturally do well, but the mediocre women seem to get axed quickly, even over some of the worse guys, no matter how hot they are.

You're right, Jennie Garth does look great! But Marie Osmond and Wayne Newton? gaghh.

I would love it if you would watch with us! The more the better. It's a lot of fun and always impressive to see how some of the "stars" are able to improve so fast. Man, I wish you could have seen Apollo this past season. Omg.

I could definitely see Wayne Newton filling in the Jerry Springer/BRC role. The goofy older dude who's funny yet endearing, even if he's not very good, always does pretty well.

Jerry Springer actually surprised me. He was much better than I expected. But I don't know about this Wayne Newton guy. Isn't he old and overweight?

It's about time we acted on this excellent idea. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

1. Flipping Out(house flipping show with nutty gay obsessive-compulsive guy who gets insight from tarot cards and apparently spends hundreds of dollars a month paying for his pets to get massages)

2. I think Gordon Ramsey's new cooking show is coming on, where he acts like a savage while saving people's restaurants from going under.

3. Any interesting cooking contest shows that come along.

4. Shin-chan, a funny cartoon that I've grown to love that shows around midnight Saturdays on Cartoon Network.

5. I used to really get into Frontline on PBS. I should start catching that again. Generally by far the smartest hour on t.v. Often hard hitting, but with nary a feeling of gloating about it, unlike CNN or other thinly-disguised Geraldo-like efforts.

6. Reruns of Futurama to wind down the day, with the occasional South Park.

I hardly watch T.V., but I will definitely be watching High Stakes Poker, the first two episodes are the best I have seen throughout the 4 year series. I will also watch the WSOP main event (with the sound off, and my stereo playing, cuz norman chad, and mcleahran are the worst ever). Mix in some NFL football here and there as well. I dont know when the new season of The Shield starts, I guess I need to find out cuz that is one of my all time favorite shows on the air right now.

Edit: If there are any groundbreaking new shows that u think are worth looking into, let me know.
