      - "THAT WAS THE TITLE OF THE STUDY!!!!!" killed. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 15:32 1
        
        It's an indictment of our journalists that a comedian has to fill this role. -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 15:39
    - something along the lines of "taking years to study gays in the military and half an hour to choose a running mate"? -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 15:27
  - That pretty much shut the door on him ever being a guest again. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 15:25

    - The TV universe has expanded...Whole channels now. - amoxy Nov 17, 15:47
- wasn't all those Hollywood Square jokes fed to famous panel? They were all set up, right? -- nm - CQ Nov 17, 15:12 2
  - Even as a kid, I thought they were... didn't care! -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 15:16
  - wasn't = were not -- nm - CQ Nov 17, 15:13
- It's more self-conscious. Like there's an awareness of the line and a conscious decision to go past it rather than then when it just . . . . - pmb Nov 17, 15:02 1
  - I agree with all of this. - Mel Profit Nov 17, 15:07

  - it really is. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 17, 15:07 3
    - All In The Family wouldn't, perhaps couldn't, be made today. And has no current analog. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 15:09 2

  - I totally forgot about this. thanks -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 14:57
  - yup -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 17, 14:54
I think a large portion of the audience who watches those types of reality shows do it to feel superior. - Dano Nov 17, 14:52 20
- I watched the Mole out of admiration. I watched Celebrity Mole to watch Corbin Bernsen lose his f*cking mind. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 15:16
- Yes and this mentality drives me nuts. The viewer may look down on this a-holes, but they are making them rich in the process. It's maddening. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 15:08
- Ok that explains the Sarah Palin show, but doesn't explain more cerebral shows . . . - pmb Nov 17, 15:00
- [deleted]
- I wonder if I watch Hoarders and Invervention to feel okay about myself. "Hey, at least I'm not *that*bad!" -- nm - mara Nov 17, 14:54 2
  - Hoarders is good but Animal Hoarders is *better* -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 14:57
  - I absolutely do that. It also gives me a better perspective on my stuff. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 14:55
- *watches The Biggest Loser while eating ice cream* -- nm - House MD Nov 17, 14:54
- Jessica Simpson is the perfect example. No one was watching that because they admired her. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 14:53 11
  - is there a single reality show that people watch out of admiration? -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 14:54 10
    - Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, Holmes on Homes. You have to admire the work etich of the stars of those shows. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 15:00 2
      - I don't watch the other two, but I agree on Dirty Jobs - amoxy Nov 17, 15:42
      - "ethic" -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 15:01
    - American Idol, competition portion - con_carne Nov 17, 14:58
    - Possibly Project Runway. I always feel there's a lot of talent there. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 14:55 3
      - OK, I think competition shows may be an exception. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 14:55 2
        
        Not always. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 14:56 1
        
        Hell's Kitchen, for example. Totally different reasons people watch Hell's Kitchen vs. Top Chef. -- nm - Dano Nov 17, 14:59
    - Well, Holmes on Homes ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 14:55 1
      - oh, and the dog whisperer -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 14:58

nubby news alert! first antimatter atom trapped -- (link) - cameo Nov 17, 14:50
Last night, I watched the Trickster/TV Land and the fan convention eps of Supernatural back to back. Holy hell, that was some fun stuff. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 14:49 5
- the more fan lore you know, the funnier it is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 14:49 4
  - It's particularly funny that they've been playing on the BroYay more and more. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 15:04 1
    - Do they know they're brothers? I don't think they care -- nm - Epiphany Nov 17, 16:13
  - ps. One of the TV ads made me think of dignan. you know which. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 14:50 1
    - LOL!! - Epiphany Nov 17, 15:00
LEGO stuff from B2: The Mrs would be acquitted on the grounds of justifiable homicide if I dropped $20k on LEGO. And there will be no identifying - TWuG Nov 17, 14:48 2
- Lego.com has the cheapest price I've found online. $2/each for series 2, but then there's shipping. Limit 16. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 14:53 1
  - You can also find the figures you want on Bricklink. Shop around. You can find some for around $2.50-3.00. But watch out for shipping. - Mop Nov 17, 14:54

- I had that distilled stuff (the one with van gough on the box) 110 proof tasted like uzo - zeitgeist Nov 17, 15:23
- [deleted]
ok, turns out there has been ground displacement up to 33 feet in that region. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 14:44 3
- if we were going to google it anyway, because we only supplied half the information needed to properly answer the question.... -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 14:46 2
  - there's something called a common sense test. if it sounds crazy, it might be crazy. - loosilu Nov 17, 14:47 1
    - *earthquakes* sound crazy. Common sense goes out the window. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 14:51
Of note: we finally tried Five Guys yesterday. Is it possible to overhype that place? - TFox Nov 17, 14:42 5
- I just checked their locator, and it seems we'll be getting one here. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 15:12 1
  - [deleted]
- that's a lot of nutsacks on your drumhead -- nm - cameo Nov 17, 15:01
- I tried it for the first time a couple months ago. It lived up to the hype for me. - con_carne Nov 17, 14:48
- yes, and it is overhyped here -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 17, 14:43
Don't you just love a bargain? -- nm - kelly Nov 17, 14:42 8
- yes - the object is more desirable at a discount -- nm - Epiphany Nov 17, 14:43 7
  - I feel better about my spending when the price has been lowered. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 14:47 6
    - There's a whole consumer psychology industry based on this. And it all explains Kohl's. -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 14:49 5
      - It's called "anchoring". Once you've been told a "suggested retail price" you are anchored to it and a "sale" sounds great. - TWuG Nov 17, 14:56 2
        
        But I saved 30%! -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 14:57 1
        
        I'm no "shopaholic," but it seems to me that the Internet/apps offer us a way to avoid these traps going forward - con_carne Nov 17, 15:27
      - Kohls is evil. They mark everything up by 60% then give you a 30% discount. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 14:52 1
        
        Welcome to retail America 101. You're getting a 'deal' -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 14:57
