Did you know that a single hair can catch a killer . . . .
Spoosh2000 | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 07:44 pm  Yeah. It's like watching a sunset.... |
Columbusin | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 08:17 pm  LOL! Yes, only two more nights of watching that gross promo of that magnified hair folicle pulled out by its root! The headline of your post cracked my up, I just had to respond. ROFL! |
Fabnsab | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 08:25 pm  Ok, how about "Hi, I'm Lydia Deluca." If I never see those commercials again, it'll be too soon. |
Curtandeddie | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 08:33 pm  I love this thread. I am so sick of those promos I will go out of my way never to watch these new shows. Well, all but the Fugitive |
Whatever | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 08:36 pm  Damn, why couldn't someone find a single hair at Rockingham Place(?) in Brentwood? I think Nicole's family would really appreciate it! |
Tukuul | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:07 pm  The CSI promo when the imaginary bullet is heading towards the open chest is what consistently bugs me. I don't know why, but I'll be glad when CBS doesn't show that irritating crap again. |
Jade888 | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:09 pm  Me too! |
Deni_San | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:11 pm  Have you had enough of Bette for a lifetime? I have, and the show hasn't started yet. |
Whatever | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:11 pm  CBS execs figure if people are watching a show that nobody watches, maybe they can get those viewers to watch other shows that nobody will watch. (Yes, I know BB is a ratings success for CBS.) |
Tatianna | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:13 pm  ROFLMAO Deni San! I'm with you! Every time I see the promo for that show I groan. |
Snogrl | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:22 pm  I DIDN'T KILL MY WIIIIIIFE!!!!!! |
Deni_San | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:27 pm  All these commercials are a public service. Once I finish off this BB addiction, I will RUN, not walk to another network. Goodbye CBS, I will see you back when Survivor II starts...well, except for Hollywood Squares...but once "Touched by an Angel" comes on I also yelp and run over to turn it away. CBS...a mine field of bad shows. |
Kiari | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:32 pm  Not to mention Bette with that rubberband like face contraption |
Really | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:35 pm  This is really funny! I go from the volume extra loud so as to not miss a thing to heaving myself at the remote to hit mute or channel change. Thank God I've managed to cut out the commercials while recording (OK sometimes I have to rew during the commercial when I'm not so fast). I do have to say I inevitably started watching Tic-Tac-Doe (is that even the name?) and ET when I didn't before. And I do love to watch Everyone Loves Raymond and sometimes the King of Queens is alright. So I won't totally abandon CBS. Oh and Letterman occasionally. And doesn't that hair look more like a burnt matchstick??? |
Spoosh2000 | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:35 pm  I am not going to watch the shows, simply out of spite! LOL! Once BBrother is done, I will once again reside to my cycle of Simpsons and Friends.... |
Jimmer | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:36 pm  You're just lucky that you aren't seeing the Canadian commercials (we've been blessed with Bette and more!). |
Donnalea | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 10:56 pm  All they are doing is stealing the premise of science show "New Detectives" on TLC. One of my favorite shows, I don't know why they have to that. |
Wendy | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:19 am  Yeah Snogrl!!! I can't STAND that stupid The Fugitive promo. And did anyone notice the Survivor people promos ("I missed my bed, my phone and (insert CBS show.star here).") came and went faster than Eddie opening a bottle of beer? What are they calling themselves now? The COMEDY Broadcasting System? If they only knew... Bring back Murder, She Wrote!!! |
Snogrl | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 02:07 am  lol Wendy The Comedy Broadcasting System cracks me up to. However, I will say I've grown fond of Everybody Loves Raymond. |
Mlady | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 04:43 am  I would never watch this show or The Fugitive because I'm so sick and tired of their repetitive commercials. The part of the CSI commercial where they show what looks like a dead persons chest grosses me out. Glad to see others feel the same way as I have.... |
Smashedkat | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 05:25 am  CBS is hoping that all the BB fans don't know how to change a channel on a remote. As for me, CLICK,CLICK,CLICK,CLICK. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 07:30 am  SmashedKat, me too! Click, click click, then back to BB when it gets back on. I guess CBS thinks if they repeat the commercial enough times, we will WANT to watch the advertised show. NOT!! |
Dangergirl | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 08:15 am  Raise your hand if you EVER want to hear this exchange again: Debra: "Ray! It's the spanish steps!" Ray: "Where's the spanish elevator?" argh! That is one of my favorite shows but if I hear that again I'll surely die. |
Adamblast | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 09:26 am  "Who can tell me about Pavlovian conditioning?" "He's the one with the dogs, right?" *groan* |
Adven39 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 02:39 pm  Setting: Board meeting of CBS execs discussing the fall schedule. Head of Programming: Boys, oh, and you too Betty, I've come up with a brilliant idea for this fall's schedule. It's about this doctor, see, who gets falsely accused of murdering his wife, but he knows who killed her. It's this guy with no arms and.... Minion #1: Ah, sir, how does he kill her without any arms? H of P: Hmm. Good point, Perkins. You'll go far. I've got it! He holds her down and kicks her to death! Oh right, he doesn't have arms. Okay, the hell with it. We'll give the guy an arm. But just one! None this two arm crap. Minions: Brilliant, JP! You've done it again! H of P: Anyway, the doctor has to go on the run and find this guy with no arms, I mean two arms.... How many arms did we say he had? Secretary (leaning over and whispering): One, JP. H of P: Whatever. Anyway, he's trying to prove his innocence and there's this detective who's trying to nab him and he tracks this doctor across the countryside because .... well, he just does, all right. So, each episode this doctor is in a new town with this detective hot on his heels and the guy with arms is floating around somewhere, too. Minion#2: Obviously brilliant, JP. Orgasmic, actually. I take it this detective is mentally ill? H of P: Mentally ill? I hadn't thought of that. What do you mean? Minion#2(gulping): Well, sir, he's chasing this doctor out of his jurisdiction and he sounds a little obsessive if he does this every week. I mean, doesn't he have any other cases to work on? A family, maybe? Minion#3: I think it's, oh, what's the word.... Brilliant! Multi-orgasmic, JP! H of P: Cases? What does he need other cases for? I'd think this slippery doctor would be enough for anybody. And the hell with him having a family. He can't be in Texas one minute, hot on the trail of this guy and then heading half way across the country for a little slap and tickle with the wife the next. It's just not believable. Although, I do like the slap and tickle part. Minion#1: Brilliant once again, JP! This kind of reasoning explains why you have reached the pinnacle of your profession and I sit here questioning my very existence. H of P: Thanks, Perkins. I appreciate your honesty. Anyway, I've decided to call the show ...are you ready for this... "The Innocent Doctor On the Run From the Dedicated Detective Who Doesn't Believe the One-Armed Man Exists." Or, we could call it something ridiculous like "The Fugitive". Minion#3: Well, ah, sir, there was a show in the 60's that had a vaguely similar premise that, coincidentally, was also called "The Fugitive". And a few years ago there was a movie with Harrison Ford, as I recall, that had the same name and had the same basic storyline. H of P: Harrison Ford. Never heard of him. Can he act? Cuz, if he can't, I don't want him. I need someone who can deliver the line "I didn't kill my wife!" every week. It'll get old if he can't deliver it a bit differently every once in a while. Minion#3(cowering): Don't beat me, sir, but aren't you worried that this exact same premise has already been done - twice before. Shouldn't we be looking for an original concept? H of P: Originality? Hmm, it's not something we've really tried before. Sounds a bit "out there" to me. What do you suggest? Minion#3: Well, sir, in the first show and the movie, the detective chasing the fugitive was white. What if we made ours black? Minions: gasps and much murmuring H of P(slamming his hand on the table): That's it! That's what we need! Radical and creative thinking like this! Like I always say, "Think outside the box, people!" Anyway, that's what we'll do. We'll go with the black guy - presto, whole new show. Okay, that's a wrap for this meeting, guys, oh, and you too Betty. My son will be heading up promotions for this one. He wants to run the same spot over and over for weeks in exactly the same time slot. He figures this way a large section of the viewing public won't see the commercial at all and yet a small segment will get to see it 7457 times. Minion#2(shaking his head in admiration): The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it, sir? |
Bigbromo | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 02:45 pm  I can't even think about watching one of those new CBS shows. The promos have been on too frequently....I already feel like I've seen THE FUGITIVE, BETTE, etc., and I don't want to see anymore! Please CBS! Stop the overkill. It's a turnoff. |
Adamblast | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 04:15 pm  Thanks for the scenario, Adven! Very funny. (Funny Ha Ha, and Funny Strange...) I can't wait for the movie version of THIS version of the Fugitive... Zzzzz... |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 04:12 am  This thread is hilarious! I've resolved never to watch ANY of those shows! Besides, I feel I've been watching them the whole summer -- strange, but all the episodes seem the same. I won't be watching CBS again until Big Brother comes back (or until they fire that guy who anchors the evening news)! |
