Has anyone seen "What would Brian Boitano Do or is it Cook? I just saw it today and it was really good. I enjoyed watching him cook and his sense of humor is great.

I've watched a couple (though more as "background noise than really focusing on watching the show). It does look like he comes up with good recipes.

I have it set up on my DVR. Just checked, the "official" title (at least according to Comcast) is "What Would Brian Boitano Make?"

Oh, and FWIW, there is an existing thread for "random" stuff in this section (though it didn't have "random" in the name). It's General Discussion (Various Shows) It was kinda buried down the page.

Not that it makes any real difference to me. But I thought the Mods might want to merge the threads or something. I'll have to admit I looked at this thread at first and wondered why it was so short, since I'd remembered participating in the other one and thought there was more action than this!

I watched last weekend's and recorded this weekend's but just erased it (since it appeared to be all about bacon, which I won't eat). He seems to be a bit too hammy for my taste, but I'll probably watch a few more before I decide it's too kitschy.

House Husbands of Hollywood isn't awful. On Fox Reality Ch. It follows 5 househusbands and a few of the storylines are cute.

Hey Mods, you can merge with the other thread.

Thanks, Whoami, I thought there was a thread but I didn't see it and I looked through twice!

I enjoyed watching the "I Love Money" shows on VH1 and from those shows I discovered "the Entertainer" a.n.a. Frank (He was on the I Love New York show I guess but I never watched that). Anyway, he has his own reality show that just started last night: Frank, the Entertainer - a basement affair.

This is pretty funny. He lives in the basement of his parents home and it's been an on-going joke that this is why he goes on reality shows - so he can win money to move out of his parent's basement. The Mom & Dad are there. They move in 12 or so women to vie for Frank's affections and some are eliminated every episode. The Mom & Dad have alot of interaction with the women as well as Frank.

It's definately worth a watch.

This show was hilarious! I can't believe he lives in his parents' basement. And these girls. OMG where DO they find 'em?

I was LMAO as well, I sort of stumbled onto the show and couldn't believe it. Where do they live was it perhaps New Jersey? I didn't see most of it, just came in towards the end when he was giving them keys to the basement, LMAO!

Hey Pamy! Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hang in there!!
I caught The Academy on one of the Fox Reality marathons last year. I was surprised how addictive it was, and it was interesting to see what the sheriff recruits go through.

Tex, I think they live in Queens NY. I thought the girls were fine at least not as sleazy as Rock of Love girls. Frank is adorable and his parents are hilarious! this show is a keeper!

My daughter was sick this weekend so I spent a lot of time watching television with her...now I'm stuck watching the marathon of DeGrassi - and horrified that she's been watching it all along...I dread her going to high school if that's a microcosm of what really goes on!

I watched part of the show that came on after The Bachelor...Conveyor Belt of Love. LOL! What a total train wreck. It's so bad, that it's actually kind of fun.

The Bachelor thread is on the main page under Reality TV.

Conveyor Belt, I lol at the whole premise and a lot during the show! It is really bad and it is really fun!

Pamy..I watched all of the academy last year, and just finished watching the Orange County Fire Academy this month. Try to catch that one in re runs. It goes from their first day, until graduation. The last episode shows them in their new stations at work. Great show

Conveyor Belt cracked me up! The guys coming out doing their schtick were kinda scary sometimes. But the girls were just as bad.

At least this show doesn't presume to be anything more than the shallow dating program it is. Filler material, yes?

Okay, I found a rerun of the the premiere of Frank's show and set my DVR for it (also set it to record for the rest of the season). From everyone's reviews, it sounds like it is DVR-worthy.

Costa, it reminds me in a way, of Blind Date. It's just as shallow.

Oh yeah, I remember Blind Date. Wasn't that an awful show? I think they took themselves more seriously. I don't think this conveyor belt thing is on the schedule is it? Wasn't it just a filler last night?

Lex, Frank's show is totally DVR worthy. It's hilarious and if you can handle his enormous ego, which his parents do a good job of deflating, it's quite amusing. In a "oh my gawd, dude, you are SO pathetic" sort of way. Especially when you see the girls all screaming for him. (FWIW, I never thought he was hot, so all the screaming is even more hilarious to me!)
