other than that it is great.

i agree
to be fair the other guy is an ex-ultimate fighter
their hosting sucks
but his enthusiasm for getting punched, kicked, and tossed to the ground
makes up for it

I am nursing a hangover this morning watching re-runs of mad tv on comedy central. it is so much funnier than saturday night live has been in years.

[garew]

I like Mad the comic. Not really into the show though. There was a Muslim's gone wild ad in the comic(like girls gone wild) that had me rolling on the floor of the local library.

I remember seeing a mad tv sketch done on saturday night live once.
snl did the skit like two weeks after it aired on mad tv. it was practically verbatim, so it couldn't have been a coincidence.

jeez, I just watched the season (and most certainly series) finale of jfc.
now that was a mess. how disappointing. you were probably right with uh everything.

hehe, the smoking is top class. better days.

Damages has me full on addicted at the moment..
I can miss any other shows, but not this one...

The weird thing is, is that I can't even begin to tell you what it's about exactly...there's so much building they are doing that I'm not sure who's good or bad, or exactly what the plot is about...but I'm steady watching cause I want to find out!!..

I've just been watching 15 Storeys High again.

What a brilliant brilliant programme.

Just watched the disc of season one of Dexter

it's awesome...I'm hooked..

I like how they've handled the whole nature vs. nuture issue w/
him...you don't know if he's born that way or if something happened to him when he was young that made him that way...

[Sheridan]

I am trying to stop watching tv.
I think it is severely damaging my psyche.

[les diamond]

i been watching the shield.

Dexter is good, but unfortunately it seems as though they are slanting it towards traumatic experience, which I don't wholly agree with philosophically. I think you can just be born a sociopath.

I've been starting to watch Dirty Sexy Money, seems like a fun show so far.

I'm only on the 3rd episode of the first season, but so far it seems to be up in the air... the dad thinks it's because he was damaged as a kid(environmental), but because he's a foster kid, you don't know for sure if he was born that way.....so it's a cool way to keep that aspect of a sociopath under question, because it's still under question in the psychological community...
altho my opinion is that it's a bit of both - because you have people w/ Asperger Syndrome, which I believe has it's basis in neurological/brain damage from birth(genetic I believe).. who exhibit alot of antisocial behaviors not to mention their IQ tends to be extremely high...
so how far off would it be to say the same for some sociopaths?....

it's a facinating idea that even if he was born that way, that he can still be molded to have some sort of rules/code to live by as a serial killer...it's an interesting idea most definitely, because most sociopaths think that rules don't apply to them...
