Last night, thanks to my insomnia, I had a chance to (re)discover the following TV shows:
1. Ex-Treme Dating, 3am. A dater's exes eavesdrop and advise a new partner during their date. Host: Jillian Barberie. This might be my new favorite show. The guy, who was the Australian version of Fabio, claimed to have slept with 150 women, and two of those women were in the background offering advice to his current date. The two women decided to make things steamy by engaging in heterosexual-male-fantasy-type "lesbian" kissing and fondling. The best moment? When the current date asked Aussie-Fabio to give her a lap-dance in the hot tub, the fake lesbians decided they could do a better job of it and joined them. Toe-sucking ensued.
2. Conan O'Brien repeat, 3:35am. A rerun from during the war. I switched channels when I realized Adam Sandler was going to come onscreen soon.
3. Who's Line Is It Anyway, 3:50am. It was a compilation of favorite bits or something, including some bits from the most depressing Who's Line Is It Anyway, the one where George Wendt was the special guest. Poor George, I imagine he did some very heavy drinking after that taping.
4. Perfect Strangers, 4:00am. Classically bad sit-com humor. This episode featured Cousin Larry going undercover to buy fake rolexes, but only from "the big man." Remember how Family Matters was a spin-off of this show?
5. Head of the Class, 4:30am. Even worse bad sit-comedy. This one featured the intelligent class going to Russia for some sort of contest of smarts. There was no laugh-track, apparently they didn't have time to edit that in, what with filming the sights, having the characters read about said sights straight out of a tourist guide, and also the part where Howard Hesseman and the 15 year old went to a REAL Russian english class and fielded questions from REAL Russian students. I'll tell you the worst part... It was TO BE CONTINUED.
