As much as I love my DVR'ed 90210 reruns (I can't get enough of the sexy looks Dylan shoots at me through the screen), and as much as I look forward to watching the daily snips of "Seinfeld" and "The Daily Show," someone out there has to have something else for me to watch on TV (yes, TV should be capitalized because TV is really owed that much respect).
Yes, I understand that it is summer and I shouldn't expect much, but really, it is hot outside and I'm bored with what's on my boob tube.
So, listen up dear readers, I need your advice. Tell me what to watch on TV. But, before you tinkle your keys, please don't include any suggestions like CBS sitcoms, reruns of "Mash" or "Will and Grace," NASCAR events, stuff that involves TomKat, or anything on FoxNews. However, please do let me know of any hot, steamy selections on C-SPAN, shows about food and drink, and anything just plain bizarre.

TomKat?
OK. Now having survived nearly 4 years without the crutch of cable, I feel my tastes have become refined enough to be able to offer you a few choice options for passive televised and not-so-televised entertainment. Here goes:
1) Judge Judy. She's sassy. She's above the law. And she wears a doily around her neck.
2) Judge Joe Brown. He's snappier than Judge Judy. And speaks in Jive every now and again.
See? Two suggestions and I've already accounted for a total of 2 hours of viewing fun PER DAY! Let's see what else I have to offer...
3) Two and Half Men. It is time to overcome those sterotypes of CBS sitcoms. This one stars JON CRYER, for cryin' out loud! Duckie!!! "Yo, man! Next time, I'll kick your ass. That'll be that!" How I love the comic genius of John Hughes. But I digress...
4) Weird NYC public access cable shows. We got a whole world of locally produced crap up here! Right now I'm watching some guy's R&B video that looks like he filmed it in his neighbor's driveway. Genius! Sometimes they show backyard wrestling. I know you love backyard wrestling. And, if you're REALLY lucky, sometimes (just sometimes) they have "artsy" shows with naked people doing weird things. Like eating a hoagie on the toilet. Not sexy, but intriguing. Reminds me of the time a guy in my freshman dorm took a meatloaf into the bathroom. Guess he was hungry.
5) The Trachenburg Family Slideshow Players. Not a TV show, but sometimes it is ok not to watch TV. I saw these goofballs on a sunday morning news show (on CBS, no less!) and haven't been able to get them out of my head since. I listen to this song on my iPod at least 3 times a day. SO much better than crack. Check out the video -- http://edit-video.com/video/MT.html
6) Hell's Kitchen. Just because they had a contestant named "Dewberry". That's a funny name. Too bad he got canned in Week 2.
7) Legally Blonde on DVD. Like an old friend...always there when you need it.
Murph --
You didn't just say "TomKat?" as in "What is a TomKat?" did you?
Is your TV broken, or something? Forget the URL to the Drudge Report? Living the monastic life?
I am impressed.
I confess. I am not familiar with this "TomKat" thing.
Oh Murphy....
Think "Benifer"...that is your clue.
Get it yet?
And Bruiser...
Such fine choices you lay out for me. You are a funny man. I can only dream of living in that city to the north. Instead, I watch DC's version of public access...C-SPAN.
I have no decent suggestions; I stay up late to watch reruns of Murphy Brown.
