SPECIAL REPORT: Shows We Have No Interest in Watching

Manatee: Shows I never want to watch: anything with “America” in it. Examples: American Idol and America's got Talent.

Marmot: What about Aliens in America? That show was good.

Manatee: Never saw it and no interest in watching repeats.

Marmot: Here's a show I have no interest in: One Tree Hill. I have no idea what it's about, but I think it's like Dawson's Creek set in Utah.

Manatee: Agree with you there. Another one: Army Wives. It looks so bad to me, not to mention it's on Lifetime.

Marmot: It just looks like bad melodrama, which is the definition of Lifetime. It's true, look it up.

Manatee: Wow! You're right. I know you'll yell at me for this one, but: Heroes.

Marmot: I can understand that. If it doesn't get better this season, I might be joining you there.

Manatee: Really. What's happened to it?

Marmot: They really lost their footing last season. One of the main characters (Hiro) was in this endless arc that kept him in feudal Japan and it was just booooring.

Manatee: Japan, boring?

Marmot: It was feudal Japan. Not the future, like it is now. And of course, it wasn't real Japan. Probably just somewhere in Santa Clarita.

Manatee: You lose the charm that surrounds movie (or TV) making magic living in Los Angeles. Normal viewers in the Mid-West probably thought that NBC went to Japan each week to tape.

Marmot: Most likely. I wonder how many people think that they actually shot in NY and Texas during season one. Although, I'll admit, if you just sit back and enjoy it, it's not really noticeable. Another show I have zero interest in watching: Eli Stone.

Manatee: That show stinks! I watched the pilot and had to knock myself out that night to get those terrible images out of my head.

Marmot: What is that show about? I think it's about a lawyer who gets attacked by dragons. At least that's what I get from the commercials.

Manatee: All I remember is George Michael dancing in court. He has hallucinations (or premonitions?) about stuff. And though he is a high paid lawyer, his visions lead him to do "non profit" type work.

Marmot: Huh? That sounds...does he ride these dragons?

Manatee: I don't remember dragons in the pilot.

Marmot: Then this sounds dumb. I don't want to watch it.

Manatee: Scrubs.

Marmot: Why do you have no interest in Scrubs?

Manatee: I can't quite place my finger on it, but every time I've seen it, I'm bored and annoyed.

Marmot: Did you watch the first few seasons?

Manatee: I've never seen any in a row, just various episodes now and again.

Marmot: Ah. The first 3 seasons were really good. As were the first 8 episodes of Season 4. It hasn't been the same since.

Manatee: And yet, they are bringing it back…?

Marmot: There are three shows that I cannot distinguish between and have completely no interest in watching: Lipstick Jungle, Cashmere Mafia and Women's Murder Club.

Manatee: The only one that seems different to me was WMC - because it had Angie Harmon on it and they carried guns (maybe, I'm not actually sure since I never saw it). The other two are Sex & the City rip offs.

Marmot: I know Brooke Shields is on one, and Lucy Liu is on another. But they all look the same to me.

Manatee: Too bad all 3 were canceled! You'll never get to learn the difference.

Marmot: Oh how sad.

Manatee: Big Bang Theory

Manatee: I watched the pilot of that show. Terrible. Imagine Revenge of the Nerds where the Nerds are too believable.
