Peace off


So I was side tracked again and wound up reading about television. Most of whats written about the subject, at least about whats ON it, is like listening to a pro athelete talk about the "game". Yeesh. Anyway, the stuff I was reading was about real bad shows that are actually on tv, so . . . . . I had to go and find out some shows that didn't make a huge splash, or mercifully, never left the boardroom.

In no order, and I can't prove that these are really real ideas, after all the Internet is almost 100% correct, here are the winners:

Show Me The Salami, a Food Network show about the history of meat.

That’s Not Incredible,an ABC show about boring everyday life. The first show featured a guy who hadn't missed a day of work in 12 years.

Rango, an ABC western comedy starring Tim Conway and an American Indian called Pink Cloud.

Who can forget the Flying Nun? I can. In season 2 (it amazingly went 3 seasons) the show's star, the actual flying nun, Sally Field, was pregnant.

Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell. This is the show which begat Saturday Night Live, when it ended after a few months, and gave us the Not Ready for Prime Time Players because on Cosell's show they were called the Prime Time Players.

Homeboys in Outer Space, I'm not even going to say anything, look it up.

Cop Rock, a combination of music video/broadway show theatre and cop show.

My Mother the Car, the name says it all, literally.
