For all the Scott Norwood fans:

Thanks for that At least watching it doesn't bring the same feelings anymore. That poor guy. I felt so badly for him while being angry with him all at once. Bizarre game.

I googled and found info on Scott on Wiki here. Says he's married, a realtor and has daughters. Very happy, doesn't regret a thing. I'm happy for him.

7th Heaven's series finale on Monday

There is a terrible rumor going around that CW is going to bring back 7th Heaven next year. If so it will be one very very bad moment in TV history.

Sadly, it's now a fact.

Man, it just depresses me when pieces of crap like 7th Heaven live long, long lives while shows that are actually clever and original die within one or two seasons.

Oh, Farrah Fawcett high on ....*ahem*....life while on Letterman. I remember watching it and just being flabbergasted by her. She actually thought the NY skyline was real.

I want some of her drugs.

I thought Rosie O'Donnell's ambush of Tom Selleck on her show was pretty embarrassing.

Can you give some more details? What happened?

I would go for Montell telling some teenage girl that had sex in a barn that she was like a pig rolling around in the hay. You were like a pig! In the barn!

Also poor Orson Wells drunk. I am sure this never made it to the air but it would have made great televison.
Orson Welles Drunk Outtake..Muraahh

Does anybody remember Dick Cavett? I don't really but my mom and dad often talk about how much they miss him. I looked him up on U-Tube and he has some pretty funny interviews. Here is one I really enjoyed with Sly and the Family Stone or should I say

Sly is really stoned[/color]

I would venture a guess on the Star Wars Holiday Special. My dad bought a VHS copy off of ebay a couple of years ago...we couldn't even get through it, and we like bad TV.

Tell me you saw Carrie Fisher, stoned out of her gourd, singing the theme song. Or Chewbacca's, ahem, father having Intergalactic Space Age Video Phone Sex?

One of the many shitty things about the special is that you have to sit through 90 loooooooong minutes of

• Bea Arthur musical numbers
  
• the aforementioned Dihann Carroll video phone sex
  
• interminable scenes shot entirely in Wookiee-ese
  

to get to StonedLeia's rendition of the SW theme, complete with totally fake-sounding (Bill Murray-on-SNL-esque) lyrics. Proof that pretty much everyone in the late 70s was high. carrier, I'm sorry your Dad spent his hard-earned money on the show. I found for free it online, but I can never get back those 90 minutes of my life.

No joke. When I read that crapfest had been given new life, I realized that the combined[/u] lives several shows I liked (including Arrested Development, Twin Peaks, Profit, Murder One) were shorter than that of 7th Heaven--with several years still left over.

Finally! I have always heard about this infamous 2001 Mariah appearance on TRL where she did a striptease and acted like a loon. She even brought out a damned ice cream freezer! It was tough to watch, but it did not disappoint!

Bwah!
