this shitty thing where a question lasts 3 hours and a hundred people call in with wrong answers before they eventually pull out some random answer that could just be made up on the spot
so i accidentally turn to this channel last night and before i know it i am hooked trying to figure out what kind of logic might be behind this puzzle they got. basically the question is 'how many litres?' and there is a picture of some glasses maybe jugs and kegs of beer and they all say something like 'beer 2 litres'
and then after everyone has got it wrong they pull out a number and say that it is the answer
here is an low quality example of how this may look
and here are a few previous ones (copypasted from elsewhere)
and the one i was looking at last night, the numbers are right but not 100% on the words paleale and lager and stout
there is a leap of faith involved to think that these answers may not just be made up, but presumably there is actually some kind of vague 'logic' behind this
now i know some of you people like to think you are some gifted geniuses and all so see if you can work this shit out
its kinda bugging me
impress me se++

Dammit Europe.
We never get the titties in the UK.
Is it because your women don't have any or because they're frigid?
ZI... no wait!
I thought it was America that was all 'no titties on my teevees'
You Brits are supposed to be more advanced than us or something

Unless you like watching naked and painfully dumb women say dumb things.
Who doesn't?
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
if we had that here then at least i could get something done while hating myself for every extra second i dont turn off the tv with this shit
Anyway, the ones that show their breasts are all fat and ugly, so yeah.
That sounds like a great show. The dumber the things they say, the more naked they get, and then have to do crazy stunts.

I don't even know what channel I have the Comedy Central on. It goes to 30-something or other and the only channel I watch is -1 because that's the Wii's input channel.
It's a bit long, so I may just call it T&A Trivia.

That's gross.
You could put it on the PS2
I think a good title would be "The Guy Game"
No see their job is to drawn people's attention long enough to get them to call and answer their stupid question, and there's probably people calling constantly, but they only let like one guy through and make it look like you have to time your call and shit. And I'm pretty sure they pre-interview the callers because really they only let the dumbest people ever get through to the host, who herself is like a massive dumb bitch with tits hanging out. God it's like the bottom of the gene pool congregates on TV at night...
So you get the titties, humor, and then stupid stunts.

Not Hunter's, I understand Hunter's game show.
This thing Air's talking about, about beer or something.

Seriously, just don't turn it on. There's nothing worth seeing, and the one or two good things that do slip through? Buy them on DVD. You get the whole thing, you can skip waiting for cliffhangers to get resolved if you don't want to, there are no commercials, you get extra features, it comes in a nice case and all that, you can watch it any time, and it generally costs less to buy all the good shows than it does to subscribe to cable or whatever for the period of time when those shows are aired.
There is no reason to have cable or whatever. None.
Discovery Channel
History Channel
Sports
The fact I live in a river valley surrounded by huge mountains that block out every channel possible. The place where cable TV was literally invented. So people could watch more then 1 channel of fuzzy TV.

My TV I literally bought used to play Wii on, nothing else.
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
except when they had marathons of decent shows, which was every long weekend at least
and then its like, sit on the couch all day watching seinfeld or cheers or whatever they wanted to put on
easier to get into shows that way too, for instance i saw some star trek in a marathon but never really watched it at normal times
when we had the olympics one of the cable channels was just the simpsons for 2 weeks. nothing else. just 24 hours of simpsons everyday for 2 weeks straight
i didnt have cable then but man that would have been glorious
but then i go to this guys house and he is just lazing around watching the history channel and i get to thinking that i should have watched it more
anyway we dont have cable anymore and freetv is pretty shit which is why this gameshow was basically the only thing other than infomercials
i 'acquire' shows as they come out in the us though, cos they usually take a while to get here and are often on at inconvenient hours
for instance, the final episode of the sopranos was on this week and aired at about 11.30 on tuesday or somethin
the office didnt really last here and they are way back on the start of season 3 and i think thats also on at 11.30, but quite likely its moved around to whenever they gotta fill in some time so might be hard to keep up
same with arrested development
as defender said, its neat to be able to get through a whole series without all the cliffhanger shit, but it aint bad to have these things spaced out regularly as well
so you gotta wait a week but when the next episode of something is on it can be more enjoyable because of it
im just glad i dont have to worry about airtimes but i guess you got streaming too
OK, animal shows and shows about what weapons Hitler had are kinda cool. I never watch them, but I could understand someone who does. Sports bore the fuck out of me, but I understand how someone who appreciates the games might want to see that.
That's exactly the kind of thing that makes me glad I don't watch TV. I see someone just pissing away hour after hour, usually watching shit like unfunny sitcoms with obvious jokes you can see coming a mile away, and I think "he's actually probably getting dumber AND getting out of shape by doing this."
I agree that sometimes cliffhangers are good. You can still choose to wait, though. You don't HAVE to wolf down the whole cake in one sitting just because it's there.

Those 3 things are all I watch, besides movies on demand. I watch Mythbusters so much I have contacted them via the intertrons to either commend them on a job well done or to scoff at their attempt of busting said myth like the bird through an airplane window one. I sent diagrams, tech data sheets, and actual lab data about that one. They felt my righteous nerd fury.

The one I thought they really screwed the pooch on was the two-semis-crashing-head-on-and-squishing-a-little-car-between-them one. They fucked up the timing so the trucks didn't hit at exactly the same time like they were supposed to, and one fucking pulley would have resolved the problem.

I'm not sure, but I think I feel sorry for you that you're unable to appreciate what good shows there are.
