Best reality show.
those people really suffer,you can see them lose weight thru the contest.
Physically grueling."Outwit,outlast,outplay" 8-)

can't understand the "reality" of this one...amazing it lasted so long.
>> All the Law and Order shows.

>> Bones
>> Cold Case

great shows,but short on real practices. they always show Florida cars as
having TWO license plates[we have only ONE],get DNA results in less than a
day,talk about Florida guns being "registered" to an owner;FL has no gun
registration.
>> NCIS
gets DNA results in less than a day,still entertaining.
>> Hell's Kitchen
why any one would find that interesting is beyond me;all it does is show
what an rude A-H Chef Ramsey can be.
>> Shark
>> American Idol
>> Criminal Minds
>> Boston Legal
>> Supernatural
>> Ghost Whisperer
>> Medium
>> Moonlight
the "magic" shows.pure fantasy.
>> Numb3rs
Lost is a good mystery sci-fi show. But they stretched it out too long.

re-read the post.
He "picks from" his
He can also retain some shows for days when there's nothing but crap
scheduled.
I'm amazed he has any time to post online,with all that TV watching. 8-)
