Bossy Asks You:

Does this sound like there’s nothing on TV? Because when Bossy asked her husband to check the programming guide last night at nine he clearly stated there was nothing on TV. Hello, McFly?

Bionic Woman, Kitchen Nightmares, Supernatural Science, Destilando Amor, Colon Coin Collector, Japanland, Big Mac: Inside the McDonald’s Empire, 19th Hole, I Love the 80s: 3-D, The Real World, Dr. 90210, Panty Pantry Raid, Plastic Surgery: Before & After, Ghost Hunters, Live Once Die Twice, and The Boy With A New Head.

What is Bossy’s husband, anyway — a Rhodes scholar?

   Hello “The War” Ken Burns documentary on WWII was on. What is Bossy’s brilliant husband talking about, nothing on? Mary Alice was riveted.

   In our house, mostly what’s always on TV is sports. There is ALWAYS sports to be watched. The Pitt / Navy football game was on last night, for example.

   I wouldn’t know if there was anything on TV as I was catching up with last season of Dexter by DVD.

   Top Chef is over and the new season of Project Runway hasn’t started yet. So as far as I’m concerned, he’s right!

   Bossy needs a DVR. Then Bossy can watch a Dr.90210 marathon any time there is “nothing” on TV.

   Hey! Easy ladies (and gentlemen!) SORRY! ;p

   I’ve seen that “episode” of “The War” 3 times already (maybe Bossy fell asleep!)… And, with the possible exception of “Bionic Woman”, and the “Top Chef” Retrospective, (how the heck did I miss those 2 gems!), I don’t consider much of that other crap to to be good TV! Pitt/Navy! PLEASE!

   Grrrr =

   That’s why the DVR is so useful. So you don’t have to rely on untrustworthy husbands.

   Plastic Surgery was a rerun. I was bummed.

   I did get to see Corner Gas on WGN, though, and you know what? It’s pretty damn good.

    I can watch just about anything and since we don’t have cable or dish (I know, it’s a sin), I will watch just about anything so there is never nothing on television for me.

    I really wanted to watch the Top Chef Reunion and the repeated Rock of Love reunion, but fell asleep….also, Kid Nation was on too, but I missed that as well….see SOMETHING was on. And, I love the 80’s is enjoyable, but better on a lazy weekend.

    I second Pushing Daisies. It’s amazingly beautiful and clever. Reminds me a little of the movie Amélie in the way it is filmed.

    Hmmmm….maybe Bossy’s husband was trying to tell Bossy something?????

    Like an “it’s cold out but it’s warm under the covers and there’s nothing on TV” sort of thing?

    Bossy is very obtuse sometimes.

    I’ve given up on Bionic Woman. I guess I just wasn’t in the mood for it. But Pushing Daisies, which is on at 8, at wonderful. Possibly my favorite new show. Although Reaper and Life are pretty close behind.

    Bionic Woman could have been good, but it makes me wish I was watching Battlestar Galactica instead. And I agree, Pushing Daisies is good, but sadly not on at 9, so you can’t watch it and America’s Next Top Model, unless you have one of those recording devices.

    Another vote for The War. Ken Burns is a genius. I swapped between that and Family Guy – good combo.

    Andy freaks out and leaves the room whenever I put on those Discovery Channel shows with the tumors the size of a cantloupe so that was out.

    I watched Gossip Girl, which is pretty entertaining. The premise is basically “Pretty in Pink” except it’s in NYC and Molly Ringwald is a dude, Andrew McCarthy is a blonde chick and James Spader is a brunette girl. Whatever happened to Andrew McCarthy anyway?

    My husband was at a hockey game, so I got to watch cutie-pie Nate Berkus on a DVR’d episode of Oprah. He wants me, even though he “says” he likes men.

    I thought at least HALF of those were the same show.

    i know that i’m new to the blog and all so don’t take this the wrong way, but aside from bionic woman (which i’ve never actually watched, so i don’t know for sure) and pushing daisies (which was forgotten unless we’re only discussing shows on at nine) i would have to agree with your husband…

    Bossy,
    Close your eyes & imagine a certain pregnant former lawyer w/a southern accent impatiently and sarcastically saying:
    “Hel-lo people? I mean, do I have to come over there and reach for the re-mote myself?! I mean come on. What is with Bossy’s huzband now?!”
    When all else fails, there’s always Nancy Grace.

    Actually, I’m more intrigued with watching the ads that pop up on Bossy’s blog when she posts certain words like “colon” than what’s on tv. Exactly how does DUAL ACTION colon cleanse work? It’s got me stumped… fer sure.

    I said the same thing last night and was in a total funk. Nothing on tv. Then I found VH1’s I love the 80’s and was insta-happy. Cuz that’s what reminiscing about Spenser, For Hire does.

    I watch “Kitchen Nightmares”. Gives me nostalgia for the good ol’ days when I cooked in Fine Dining.

    I didn’t want to like Bionic Woman, but I do, because Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica is on it. Pushing Daisies is bizarre, but I find myself compelled to watch anyway. Bossy’s husband could have always helped her out by going through her blogroll or something, sheesh!
