    Anybody see this last night?

    If you didn't, it's basically a talent contest where the performers have only 30 seconds to do their bit. There are about 20 or so performers during the show, and after every performer does his/her thing, the studio audience votes for the top three, and these three come back at the end of the show to to their bit a second time for the grand prize of $25,000. If the crowd boos too loudly during a performer's act, they get eliminated immediately. There were three or four people that got bood out last night...

    At first, I was a little skeptical, but this turned out to be a VERY entertaining show. The action is very fast paced, with each person coming on immediately after the previous performer. There's also a wide variety of acts, from a stand up comedian (a stand up act in 30 seconds?) to a contortionist, to a guy that rode a unicycle while flipping bowls on his head (trust me, I could not make this up)

    My favorite act, though, was this guy that bounced balls on this floor piano to make music. He did an awesome job, but lost in the final to this fat chick that did bad renditions of motown songs.

    $25,000 for one minute of work? I need to find a talent...

    dumb and dumber.

    I watched about 2 minutes of it, then decided that this was the worst show I have ever seen......

    God bless Seinfeld re-runs....

    Yeah, it will probably get canned after a month, so I'll enjoy it while I can...

    Oh, and Simpsons reruns kick Seinfeld reruns ASS any day! :)

    Bernie Mac was a rerun so I switched to Big Brother 3.

    It was interesting enough that I'm going to watch it tonight.

    I don't know any names but here is what happened:

    This year they have this thing called veto where the winner of a weekly competition can veto one of the weekly nominated houseguests. The fat guy won the veto. He's part of an alliance with the girl who nominated the houseguests. All he has to do is decline to use his veto and he's guaranteed to last as long as the alliance.

    One of the nominated guests is black and gay. The fat guy has a brother in law and nephews that are black and friends that are gay. He feels bad that he joined the alliance to gang up on the black gay guy. He gives some speech on homophobia and racism in the house and vetos the black gay guy's nomination. The veto pissed off everyone in the alliance.

    Basically he sealed his fate for next week. But with these shows you never know.

    Sitcoms are in a REALLY bad funk right now. It's all about the hour long dramas now...CSI, West Wing, Law and Order, The Agency, ER, etc...

    Personally, I have to go back to Spin City to find a sitcom worth watching on a regular basis...

    Well I hope you mean the reruns cause Spin City got cancelled by ABC.

    For those that have HBO, new episode of Sex in the City this Sunday!

    Off Centre isn't horrible. If you liked the American Pie movies then you'd probably like it.

    The last sitcom I watched on a weekly basis was Seinfeld...

    Now the only thing I watch every week (I can't miss it) is the Mole 2...that stuff is addicting.
