Hello, readers. I’m still hoping to bring Make Me Watch TV back in some form or another. There is a lot of bad TV out there that needs a smack in the eye. Let’s hope some terrible show comes along and acts a catalyst to get this website running again. Until then, I have a new ...

Bones: Woman at the Airport
2008-03-08 02:00:00
How could you possibly choose Bones over a show called Your Mama Don’t Dance? I mean, sure, they could have taken a note from their poor grammar and switched the ?you? with a ?yo.? Would that have made it more appealing to your voting sensibilities? Dammit, I hate Bones. With my prejudice squarely in place, let ...

Lost: The Other Woman
2008-03-07 03:00:00
Lost! Let?s start. We start with a flash-forward from Juliet. Psych! It?s a flash-back from when Juliet arrived on the island. Man, you should have seen your face. J.J. Abrams got you so bad! Back in the present, the boat people disappear into the woods so Juliet goes out to look for her. Juliet finds her therapist ...

Men in Trees: Sonta in Three Parts
2008-03-06 04:00:00
Without my knowledge or assistance, Men in Trees has continued to exist. In fact, it has a following of rabid fans. Who knew? Let?s watch and see if Whatsername and Whosits still have a confusing relationship filled with sexual tension. Whosits, by name of Jack, assumedly drown at sea lat week. Whatsername, name of Marin, ...

Big Brother: ?Til Death Do You Part - 03/04/08
2008-03-05 03:00:00
When the voting is tied, Aric gets to choose. Time for some outrageous Big Brother action. It?s no use describing the character in the house to you. Just understand that they?re all hate each other, and they?re all very shallow. Like a house full of emotionally vacant hornets. Again with my hornet analogies. Okay, a house ...

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Vick’s Chip
2008-03-04 02:00:00
Wow. You guys didn’t vote for Billy Graham like I thought you would. Instead, we are stuck, again, with Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles . Fox is promoting this as a two hour season finale. Then why does it have two episode names, Fox? You can’t fool me. I’m watching only one terrible hour of television, not two. Nice try. We open on a snow globe held by a futuristic robot dressed as an FBI agent. He quickly dispatched a high school principal. Well, heck. This is what was missing last episode. And by “this,” I mean “anything interesting whatsoever, especially having to do with robots.” Did you know that Edward Furlong, to original John Connor, turned into a terrible actor? It’s true! Check him out in Intermedio. You will also see, in Intermedio, an actor named Paul Cram. He is auditioning for the same commercial as me on Wednesday. So, really, it is just like I was in a movie with Edward Furlong. Right? River, or whatever the female robot’s name is, kept an e...

The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular

I?m 28 years old, married, and I work 40 hours a week. But here I am, being forced to watch The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular in primetime. This Make Me Watch TV thing was a terrible idea. Man, Bob Barker really let himself go. Oh, that?s Drew Carey. I miss the older style Price is ...

Lost: The Constant
2008-02-29 03:00:00
Lost is one of my favorite shows. I would have watched it anyway. So here this here is a bonus. Here come the spoilers. To get off of the island, you need to go on a very specific trajectory. Even if it means flying directly into a thunderhead. Which Sayid and Desmond just did. When things went south, Desmond’s mind flashed into the future. Or the past. Then back. Then he didn’t know who Sayid was. This flying helicopter (oh yeah, they were on a helicopter) left the island a day ago. But really they’re only 20 minutes out. Time is really messed up on the island. Or better than ever. Surprisingly, there is an actual boat the helicopter got to it. It seems like a time wall fried Desmond’s brain, which happens to everyone now and again. He is on the boat saying he doesn’t know Sayid. And now he’s in a military campy. He’s jumping through time more than Billy Pilgrim. Now Desmond is in a sick bay with someone suffering the same way he has. You see, some people get a little...

American Idol - 02/27/08
2008-02-28 02:00:00
Oddly enough, Big Brother and American Idol are on at the same time on Tuesday and Wednesday. Yet Big Brother won the votes last night and American Idol won tonight. Don’t ask me why. I have no answers. It’s ladies night on AI (that’s American Idol, but much quicker to spell). I’ve been on top of my AI watching, and it’s pretty much sucked. The auditions weren’t fantastic. Hollywood week wasn’t devastating enough. And now the finalists are all losers. At least we only have five hours a week with the losers. Wait, five hours? Screw that. Carly is up first, and she’s singing Heart. I don’t think you can do better or worse than Heart when singing Heart. It’s not like the vocals are fantastic to begin with, and they aren’t going to get any better when anyone else sings it. You can download the worst performance of the night on iTunes immediately after the show. In case you like to flush you money down the internet hole Syesha is an “actress” and can cry like a ...

Big Brother: ‘Til Death Do You Part
2008-02-27 02:00:00
If you haven’t been watching this season of Big Brother , you do not like entertainment. Yes yes, I know. That’s a sweeping generalization. But really, what are you doing? Listen, they trapped all these horrible people in one house and the constantly fight! It’s like watching hornets trapped in a jar of broken dreams. The shows starts off where Sunday’s nomination ceremony took off. Annoying Amanda and complacent Alex are up on the block along with whoseit and whatsit. Did you know that Amanda is from Fridley, MN? That means I can drive down the street and punch her in the face when she gets back. Not that I would, but I’m close enough to. Sheila feels shafted by Allison, which is ironic considering they both faked being lesbians. Whiny Sheila feels abandoned now that Allison is safe from going home. Hold on, Allison needs an adjective. Whiny is taken. So is annoying. Come on, thesaurus. What do you have for me? Caustic? Naw. We’ll go with irritati...

The Strike is Over, MMWTV is Back
2008-02-13 16:27:00
The Writers Guild of America voted yesterday to end their strike, which is fantastic news. This means the writers will be getting their fair cut of the new media profits, instead of zero cuts from new media. And while the strike has ended, your scripted shows will not be back with new episodes until late March or early April. But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy what we have. Make Me Watch TV is back, as promised, watching all the horrible reality and game shows that you want! Voting will begin again on Monday the 18th. Let’s continue to enjoy and not enjoy TV together. Big Bang Theory is out of episodes, right? Sweet.
