Sitcoms Rule

A TV tabloid site has chosen the worst sitcoms ever. I find the inclusion of Mr. Belvedere, My Two Dads, Charles in Charge and Double Trouble appalling. These are 80's classics! And don't even get me started on Small Wonder, a TV gem leaving kids everywhere begging their parents for a robotic sibling.

While we are all tired of lists about this or that, I highlight this list simply because the beautiful sitcom seems to be disappearing from current TV lineups. I love sitcoms, but children aren't growing up with great sitcoms anymore. There are no classic sitcoms on TV in 2008 (other than the modern-day cartoon sitcoms like Family Guy). Some may say CBS delivers a few to the airwaves, but really, CBS is just lame.

To add to the list dialogue, below are a few of my least fave sitcoms that the PopCrunch folks neglected to list (in no particular order):

• Alf - pure torture delivered by an annoying, furry animal.
  
• Beverly Hillbillies - even for "early days" sitcoms, this is unwatchable!
• 3rd Rock from the Sun - Aliens plus John Lithgow equals absurdity.
• Harry and the Hendersons - Alf failed, why would this be any better? Even more scary is that this show was on for three seasons.
  
• Step by Step - Suzanne Somers jumped the shark with this family crap.
  
• Dharma & Greg - lead characters not interesting enough for a show, with Jenna Elfman annoying everyone.
  
• Ned & Stacey - yet another show with boring characters. Do people really get married for a good apartment?
• Three's a Crowd - one of the dumber ideas for a spinoff. Poor Jack Tripper.
  
• Roseanne - yeah, I know some people really dig this show, but Roseanne was annoying and hard to watch. Same with her lug of a husband.

We Heart Curling

While you may know my affinity for ice/snow/chilly sports, few may know that I spent many hours watching curling during the 2006 Olympics. I literally was late for work everyday because I was home watching curling (no lie, it was on in the mornings). And Bruiser is also an enthusiast, having actually gone to a curling open practice!

Well, apparently curling will be coming to primetime TV in 2009 via "Rockstar Curling," a new reality show looking for the USA's next curling star. Celebrities (including secret curling lovers Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen) are being recruited to participate, or act as hosts.

This show pretty much rules. Although to be honest, I'd prefer "Rockstar Ice Dancing." Way more sexy!
