My housemates are watching Manswers. It's horrifying.

At least Manswers has hot chicks with big tits.  That immediatly moves it out of worst by default.

Honestly, I find it more insulting than anything else.
Seriously.

These days I wouldn't watch it with a ten-foot pole (wait, that makes no sense at all), but SpikeTV used to be awesome. TNG reruns during my workout time were awesome, and MXC was beyond awesome.

Right you are, Ken.

How could I have forgotten TruTV? That is the worst of them all. What a disgrace of programming.

Sadly, that used to be one of the best channels back when had almost nothing but crime/forensics shows.  Now it's nothing but crappy reality TV.

I liked Spike.  The shows were so blatantly bad that they were actually good.  Quite entertaining, actually.
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

I think Wipeout was more going along the lines of Ninja Warrior, which was MXC, but without with spoofy humor. At least Ninja Warrior required people to actually be physically fit to beat the challenges.

Does anyone else find Deadliest Warrior at least interesting? The one thing I can't stand about it is the ridiculous posturing show put on by both sides every. bloody. episode.

I used to come home and watch TNG every day after high school.

Those were the days.

Jesus Christ, this. Sometimes I don't want to learn a god damned thing. Sometimes I want to come home from a long day at work, sit my ass down in the recliner, stick my hand down my pants a la "Al Bundy" and watch some chick's boobs bounce on Manswers or see a guy get eaten by a street sweeper in "1000 ways to die." Yes, sometimes I embody the "stupid male" stereotype. Why? Because it's fucking relaxing, that's why. Now crack open a cold one and enjoy some Spike. If you still can't see where I'm coming from, there's always Lifetime.

At least it had MXC at one point in time. There are other channels that haven't had anything worth watching ever.

Thank you.


And Deadliest Warrior is a very cool show, forgot about that one.  As you shoould be able to tell by now, I enjoy Spike, but then again, I'm about twenty brain cells away from neanderthal.  *burps, farts, scratches nuts*

This. MXC was one of the greatest things ever to exist. Nowadays, Spike is pretty useless and sorta insulting to men.

Manswers, 1000 Ways to Die and Deadliest Warriors are fun shows to see when I just want to shut my brain off.

Also, Spike shows UFC (at least until this month) so that makes it not the worst channel there is.

CourtTV had some good programming before they resorted to that. When TruTV came up it just turned painful.

I'm sitting here in Singapore, and the only two non-sports channels here are Star Movies, and Discovery Channel. Gotta say, outside a few previous shows (Mythbusters), DC is pretty much all sensationalist reporting shit too.

Spike's not the worst channel, that prestige goes to Lifetime.  Followed closely by the "history" channel with all of its alien worship bullshit.

MXC was so god damn amazing that the channel was singlehandedly great just on the weight of that one show.

But now that it's gone, yeah. Awful channel.

That, and the infinite amount of TNG reruns.

CourtTV/TruTV was great at first. I liked those World's Wildest shows and COPS. They advertised and still do apparently as "Not Reality, Actuality", But then they started playing scripted reality shows and that was it for me.


... Apparently I made this same comment over 2 years ago...  :angel:
