I'm watching The Resident and someone finally didn't shock a flat lining patient. Not sure if the show has legs, I'd need to see jerk resident with the heart of gold get fleshed out a bit.

My wife asked me to DVR this just because she was hoping for some accuracy in a medical show. She probably feels the same watching any movie/tv show with anyone in the hospital that I do the moment anyone opens a laptop. She needs a medical Mr. Robot.


The high watermark is still Scrubs. Dick weeds like the eponymous Resident usually get drummed out if they are that big of an rear end to a department chief, even if the resident is in the right. Accuracy in BLS be dammed, the show's a bit of a fantasy.

Jack McCoy, unless I'm misremembering, slept with literally every female assistant DA he worked with, so he's probably gonna be the villain of the week in SVU.
He may have stopped after he took over for Ben Stone. I'm sure there would have been a cutting remark or it would have been dredged up during his election if he kept dipping his wick.

Beat Bobby Flay is one of my food-TV guilty pleasures; it's got two dish battles in the span of a half-hour, Bobby Flay is a good personality and he bounces off whoever he brings in well, and it's got a nice mix of "chefs I know" and "chefs I've never heard of", but I have to say, the idea that the "impartial judges" can't immediately figure out that the dish with fresno chilis or some other sort of shoehorned in chili is Bobby Flay's is laughable. That man has an addiction to chili peppers and needs an intervention.

I swear it's even simpler than that: his dish is eaten second 99% of the time. Doesn't stop me from enjoying it for what it is or recording it for background noise.

God, the description of "Braxton Family Values"

What little I glean from the repetitive commercials while having law and order on in the background make this show et al on WE tv sound irredeemably boring. Everybody screams at everybody else, and a major failing out is teased that might not even happen. Better yet, a celebrity gossip website has already spoiled the divorce/bastard child/Australian arrest warrant before the season ever started.

I wish we had more panel shows in the US, if only to give more work to great low-level comedians. But we'd probably gently caress it up and just get lowest common denominator comics as the panelists. Though @midnight did a good job of approximating the concept but skewed more to the gameshow side of things.

Either way, they'd be a hell of a lot better than all the Hair Jacked and Santsas in the Barn type reality prank comedy shows that exist in their place.

"Funny You Should Ask" is a Hollywood Squares type game show that probably confirms your fears. I recognize Tom Arnold, Jon Lovitz and Howie Mandel on the panel.
