How could you not find entertainment is this program: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KzeYrjfN9s

I think I just can't stomach reality TV anymore, it's so ridiculously contrived, you can predict what is going to happen where on most shows. I am watching Celebrity Apprentice this go-around, but mainly just because Carolla and Jillette are on it.

Yeah, the line-up they got for this season of Celebrity Apprentice has me actually wanting to watch it... kind of. Certainly moreso than at any other point in that show's unfortunately long life. I probably still won't, but whatever.

yeah, its to the point where I'm certain many of these "reality" shows are actually scripted to a degree to force extra drama

Defnitely Lost as an entire series, although I think the first season of Prison Break may be the most enetertaining season of TV I've ever watched.

Unfortunately I just finished S2 last night, and the pilot of S3 better be strong for me to continue. The idea of
Michael in a Panamanian jail
is at least a little intriguing.

FYI, they actually had a whole season planned about the topic you mention in your spoiler, but budget cuts made them get rid of almost all of it after the part they did do.

That was a pretty gripping show, despite its flaws. I was quite unhappy though about what they did with
Robin Tierney's character

The Shield.

I own all the seasons on DVD and have watched it through on more than 1 occasion

Great show, but there are almost no shows I can stand to watch more than once.

Maybe NewsRadio, or good shows I haven't seen in years.

Probably others, can't remember. And I don't have TV, so these shows I watch when they are on Netflix or Hulu.

It's really only bearable on DVR because there is so much crap to FF through. I usually watch a two-hour episode in an hour. Watching it in real time would kill me.
