TV News anchor gets fired for using bad words.

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 26 Apr 13

In the past week there was a news anchor in North Dakota who was fired for uttering two of the 7 words (according to George Carlin) you can't say on television (or on MyLot). What the guy did seems rather stupid. He was going...

Have you ever reported an inappropriate discussion on MyLot?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 23 Apr 13

I have been posting here for a few years and during that time, I've had two of my discussions removed. One was when I tried to start a discussion on a new movie that was under development. Another poster told me that it was...

The last few episodes of the year are coming up and they are expected to lead up to a cliff hanger final show like the show has done the past few years. The storyline is going to follow Ziva's pursuit of her father's killer....

Who is your favorite TV forensic scientist?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 11 Apr 13

This discussion has to start with Quincy. Before there was NCIS, Bones, the CSI's, Body of Proof, etc., crime dramas focused on police or private eyes hunting down the bad guys. Then came Jack Klugman's Quincy (along with his...

I have used Google a lot over the years to do general searching online. I usually do several searches a day even for routine items. Recently, however,I have had trouble accessing it at night around 11 PM. The connection doesn't go...

What old movies have you seen that are no longer shown on television?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 8 Apr 13

I tend to like science fiction movies and I miss some of the old '50's sci fi movies that they used to show on TV on Saturdays. Some of them were kind of trashy or silly but others were a bit more earnest. Two of these I'd love to...

The worst host(ess) of a TV show

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 5 Apr 13

I would like to nominate Joan Rivers for this. When she started as a comedienne, she based a lot of her routine by making fun about herself and her husband as well as other Hollywood personalities. Today, however, she is a 79 year...

Why do people on Facebook do this?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 4 Apr 13

I have to admit that I have been addicted to playing Mafia Wars on Facebook. I'm not os much into it as before but I do go back and play somewhat. There's one thing about Mafia Wars that gets me and that's the avatars that some...

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 21 Mar 13

Years ago I watched Sliders when it was shown on Fox. I didn't get to see it as much when it went to the Sy Fy networks and didn't really see the last season at all. I recently started watching Sliders after getting Netflix....

Who are the most busiest actors in TV?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 11 Mar 13

I thought of this question a number of years ago. At that time, I thought that Robert Urich was one of the busiest actors in TV. I jokingly said they could start a new cable channel just to show TV shows he was in. He started as a...

Stealing lines from TV shows

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 8 Mar 13

A few minutes ago, I saw and ad for a new TV show. I didn't pay attention enough to know if it's going to be a news type show or a reality show but my ears perked up at the end when the host said "I love it when a plan comes...

The Daytona 500 and Danica Patrick

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 25 Feb 13

Speed Week and the Daytona 500 have now come and gone but there are a few things that seem to need to be said. Once Danica Patrick won the pole in qualifying with the fastest time, it seemed that she became the only story the...

What's the silliest excuse for a reality show?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 10 Feb 13

I tend to hate reality shows, especially anything involving the Khardashians or Iced Loves Coco or the Simmons Family Jewels. Then you have Redneck Island which is just a take off on Survivor. Daytime TV is flooded with courtroom...

Dual Survival drops Dave Canterbury

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 10 Feb 13

I tend to hate a lot of reality shows but Dual Survival and Survivorman are two of the few that I like. In the original show Cody Lundin and Dave Canterbury are placed in different remote areas of the world and then work together...

Who is your favorite current TV villain?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 10 Feb 13

On TV we watch a lot of shows that have heroes. Usually there are bad guys but they tend to be taken care of at the end of each episode. There are some shows, however, where they create a villain who is a central part of the show....

After watching this year's Super Bowl, I couldn't help but remember somethings. Following the 2004 college football season, head coach Dave Wannstedt at the University of Pittsburgh told his backup quarterback that he would...

I just found out that Netflix has A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie. It's definitely interesting to see Hugh Laurie when he was younger and doing comedy.

I just discovered Red Dwarf is on Netflix. I hadn't seen the show in years and now I can watch the early episodes, at least, in order. I do have some bootleg DVDs of the show that I picked up on EBay but never seemed to find time...

Were John Wayne's movies rascist?

burrito88 @burrito88 (2774) • United States 7 Jan 13

I first had this thought after watching two John Wayne's later movies recently. As you'll see the movies were somewhat alike. The first was "Big Jake". In the movie, Big Jake(Wayne)'s comes home after 10 years to find out that his...

1. Infomercials. Yes ago, before cable, we had a limited number of TV stations and they had limited budgets. Usually, sometime after midnight, the stations would actually go off the air. The advent of infomercials helped to change...
