Married with Children - TV Shows
This wasnt just a show- it was a landmark in classic television. NO MA'AM!!! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 30, 2009, 9:02 pm

Star Trek TNG - TV Shows
When the BORG went from being dangerous villains that we hand't seen the like of before (well Dr Who's Cybermen... maybe) to another stumbing "bad guy of the week" that were easily beaten... and the writers tried to "humaize" the BORG and help them find emotion and humanity in a storyline that has played out way too many times on the show (Spock, Data etc.). The show definitely lost it's edge right then and there. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 30, 2009, 6:42 am

Star Wars - Movie Series
It's so hard to even get a "grip" on when these films tanked- simply because teh films changed so much with the special editions and extra changes over the years. While the first big drop off came with the stupid "EWOKS" storyline and execution, the prequels were just dumb. Despite having some cool moments and characters (Darth Maul for example) the prequels just were poorly written, over CGI'd video game plot type movies. For the best Star Wars experience, just rewatch "Empire Strikes Back" even the special edition isnt that screwed up!!! And remember- HAN SHOT FIRST!! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 28, 2009, 9:23 pm

Nip/Tuck - TV Shows
An amazing show for the first two season, then with the incredibly contrived and horrible resolution to the "Carver" storyline, you could see the beginning of the Boning the Fish starting. The fourth season just completely went off into theft field, then the show moved to LA and got even more and more goofy- stick to seasons 1 and 2, they still are great dramatic television. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 28, 2009, 4:29 am

Silver Spoons - TV Shows
I remember loving this show as a kid, it had everyting a child of the 80's could ever want, a lucky kid who finds out that he has an ultra rich single dad who hangs out with 80's spandex jumpsuit hottie Erin Grey of "Buck Rogers" fame, and on top of that he owns a huge multi-national toy company. And then there was the best friend character played by young breakdancing Michael Jackson clone Alfonso Ribeiro (back when Michael was the #1 star in the world, not a creepy sex predator) that every 80's kid wanted to have. Top it off with video games on set (Tempest, Dragon's Lair) and that bad ass train that was so big people could ride in it that was in the living room- this show was the coolest thing ever. I couldnt tell you what the plot even was, but I wanted to live in that house with Erin Grey and that Giant Train!!! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 27, 2009, 8:55 am

Michael Jackson - Celebrities
The whole masking his children thing was just the tip of the iceberg of the etreme wierd that this guy eminates. It is almost surreal to think back to the early 80's when girls swooned for this guy and he was a "hetero sex symbol", and basically he is at best one of the strangest individuals ever, and at worst- a pedophile protected by massive amounts of money. Really when was the last time this guy made people talk over his music? I think the last time I remember was when he called Tommy Mottola a racist at Sony records for not spending more money promoting him. Sheesh, how would anyone know to be racist to Michael with his ever changing skin tones. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 26, 2009, 9:19 am

Behind the Music - TV Shows
This was a really fun show when they detailed some great stories that had some bands that had some real stories- like Motley Crue, MC Hammer, Ozzy Osbourne etc. But when they have to drag out new talentless groups like Britney Spears and Lil' Wayne to try to raise ratings and the even more ridiculous BTM2 (a half hour show about new artists- lame) it started to go down the drain. Also the funny thing about the show was that the guy that did the announcing's voice, his phrases and mannerisms, the way the show was shot, and even the music became so cliched that all of the stories felt the same. You knew when the "bad music" started and the guy with the serious voice came on- they decline and fall into drugs after big fame was coming, followed up by the usual 5 minutes at the end where it "was on the upswing" and every burned out one hit wonder and 80's glam band had a new future in like 2005 or whatever- right... Well anyway this show was always a guilty pleasure, honestly who didn't want to know the backstory of RATT? -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 26, 2009, 6:25 am

Flash Gordon (2007) - TV Shows
A complete rape of the classic Flash Gordon franchise. This was what is wrong with Hollywood and the television networks. Low budget, bad writing and nothing in common with the Flash gordon comic strip, movies or cartoons. A wholly terrible adaptation. BONED THE FISH the first second it was on the air. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 25, 2009, 2:51 pm

Let's hope the next 9 years in prison treats O.J. well- he deserves it! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 25, 2009, 7:53 am

Saturday Night Live - TV Shows
There have been a few outstanding skits that stood out in the last few years, but I wold catch them later on Youtube. But the ratio of what is GOOD to what SUCKS is highly in the favor of SUCK. Whenever I have happened to pass this show on Saturday Nights, it just seems painfully unfunny, and dont get me started on the slew of one joke character films (Night at the Roxbury, It's pat etc.) The shadow of Fish Boning from those awful spin off films should be enough to cancel this undying corpse of a show permanently, of course there is no justice in the world these days... -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 25, 2009, 7:14 am

How I Met Your Mother - TV Shows
Neil Patrick Harris coming out of the closet definitely hurt the show, and this is pretty unusual because for me personally, it takes alot for an off camera thing to ruin an in character performance. But having him as the womanizing playboy on the show in such a stark contrast for what he has revealed in his personal life just breaks that "4th wall" way too much. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 25, 2009, 5:16 am

Rob Zombie - Celebrities
Man, did Zombie's stock drop when "White Zombie" disbanded, his solo work was never as good. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 24, 2009, 3:19 pm

Outer Limits, The (1963-1965) - TV Shows
...We Control what you SEE and HEAR.... one of the greatest TV Show intros of all time. This show holds up extremely well- shows like Lost and Battlestar Galactica should have taken some notes to show how to do something wierd and fantastic the RIGHT way!! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 24, 2009, 3:17 pm

REAL Ghostbusters, The - TV Shows
A farily well done 80's cartoon, the high point was when they actually andered into doing an episode based on HP Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu". Of course the networks wouldnt allow a show to be smart and innovative for kids, and by the end the insipid childish ghost character became the focus of the show, and even changed the name of the to SLIMER and the real Ghostbusters or some such nonsense. It seems in retrospect that every 80's cartoon was saddled with some kind of kidiotic "cute" character for kids, that nobody liked- even the kids. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 24, 2009, 3:16 pm

WIRE, The - TV Shows
An amazing show- started great, ended great- could be the best Television show of all time- hands down. Barksdale Crew forever!!! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 23, 2009, 6:42 pm

Hulk Hogan - Celebrities
I loved Hulk Hogan as a kid, now he just seems like a sad parody of himself, that is more than happy to throw his dysfunctional family on display to make a few bucks in a desperate search for a later in life "D" list celebrity. Now I just find him to be a very creepy person surrounded by an ever increasing bizarre family that is even more reckless pursuit of temporary fame in the shadow of the dim shadow of "Hulkamania"... -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 23, 2009, 1:27 pm

Dancing With the Stars - TV Shows
America deserves this show- it is the lowest common denominator of bad shows. From Emmitt Smith and Master P to whatever "Z" lister (great term Koskov!) they dredge out, it' just embarrassing to know that you are paying your cable bill to have this dreck included. HORRIBLE!!! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 22, 2009, 9:26 pm
