TV Surfing Gone Bad

I've been watching such crap that I would never watch if I had a night time job or if the networks would start giving goood shows. The only reason I started watching the 3 shows below is because I accidently caught the first episode now I can't stop.

Kyle XY: The Lies That Bind
Kyle learns to lie from his family, at least that's the message I got. We also see a new ability he can leap from buildings in a single bound. The mom starts putting his puzzles together and knows he is somehow invovled in a murder.

Treasure Hunters: The teams seeks messages from the past.
The Brown family is down one man after a torn muscle, damn gravity. All the other teams are doing good but the Geniuses are about to leave one of their own behind because he his horribly out of shape.

Lucky Louie: Control
Louie's wife controls his eating habit and it stresses him until she sees him eat and that gives her worse stress.
Luckily there is no nudity this week.

One thing I noticed about this show is all the prices or money discussed is unrealistic. The show seems like it is stuck in the 1980s the apartment is too cheap and the grocery bills are low. I guess that was the last time Louie CK had to worry about money.

Lucky Louie is Nuts

Lucky Louie: A Mugging Story
Kim is mugged by a some teenage punk and fights back. She steals his wallet and confronts him at home. The kid keeps her keys and threatens her revenge after his grandma forced him to give back her purse.
Louie tries to guard his home but falls asleep on the job.
Kim(Pamela Adlon) like Carrie Heffernan(Leah Remini) on The King of Queens is the strongest character on the show. Louie can't hold his own against such a good actress, but he is not the weakest link on the show. That falls to his daughter who is as bad at acting as the Jim Norton, who is a great comedian but a horrible actor.

Then there is Rick Shapiro as Jerry. He opens the show with full frontal nudity plus a towel that covers nothing. He even seemed to be sporting some wood which made it more disgusting but funny. Then at the end he closes with more nudity except without a towel for coverage.

The show gets funnier each episode, with or without Shapiro's twig and berries.

The View( Yes I had to TiVo it to see the drama )
Tuesday= Star Jones-Reynolds annouces she is leaving in the fall, after the show she said "they fired me".
Wednesday= Barbara Walters says You were fired for being fake but we hoped you would leave with diginty, too late.(Star is erased from credits and website.)
Thursday= Renee Goldsberry who should be there on Monday comes in early as a replacement, she plays a lawyer on One Life to Live and that nearly caused Walters to choke.

The Dirty King Of Queens?

Look it is a hot wife with a sloppy lazy husband show, where she doesn't ever laugh at him when he makes a million jokes.

Lucky Louie: Pilot


Louis C.K. is comic and he tells his story in this sitcom style show. The show has a very Broadway feel it. Louie has a wife a kid and trying to be friends with a new black neighbor. The neighbor doesn't like him but agrees to let their kids hang out together.

The other storyline has Louie and his wife not sleeping with each other. He's masterbating in a closet. He doesn't want to get his wife pregnant because they can't afford it but she disagrees until they go to pay the bills and she realizes they're poor.

Overall the show is trying to hard to shock and I see no chemistry between the hot wife, Pamela Segall Adlon, and Louie. Like I always say, this is the pilot and it usually is the worst episode so I'll wait until the next episode to really judge it.

What did you think of Lucky Louie?
