That is one I've never heard of, essexjan! I think you're right. I'm sure that's right along the lines of those "experts" who keep popping up on "Maury Povich"-in between the paternity episodes, of course.
Dog could be really funny but I stopped doing acid years ago. Now its just wierd and not good.
essexjan, I will probably burn for this but the host of that show reminds me of Mathowie. Like its his evil asshole twin or something. He's such an ubertool! And yes, the show is atrocious.
Dog is bad, that's for sure, but by far the worst one is this.
(which of course I have never watched.)
I've never watched a full episode of Cheaters but I did see an excerpt from one episode in which the host of the show got totally stabbed in the stomach by one of the caught-on-tape cheaters. I have to admit, I had no idea how to feel about that.
The one I thought was the worst was Chains of Love. It was very much like Elimidate, except all the people were chained together. Needless to say, it didn't last long.
The one I still can't believe they thought up, not to mention filmed, not to mention aired, not to mention syndicated — is There's Something About Miriam (aka The Crying Game Show). Was this jaw-dropping show ever televised in the US? The Religious Right would have a field day!!!
Btw, here are a few shots of Miriam. She's quite something.
I must confess to a weakness for the "Who's The Daddy?" shows on Maury. Especially when the women keep on coming back. I once saw one where the woman was there for the eighth time trying to find out who her baby's father was. Geez. And it wasn't guy number eight either.
Oh, no, I don't mean to "dog" Dog. He's serious about his work and all. It's just that he's more like a stereotype or a comic book character. And although I am a straight female, I can't get my eyes off his girlfriends "sweater dogs". (much, MUCH too big to be sweater puppies). And essexjan, you've seen those "maury povich" where the woman is testing guy #21 for the father of her child? The woman is always "100% sure this time" and always ends up running from the stage. At least that particular woman gave up looking. It was getting embarrassing.
