| I know what you're
thinking, "Who the hell watches TV?" With DVD players priced at under 200 bucks
and so many big movies coming to theaters lately (big, not good), it's hard to believe
that anyone really watches TV. With shitcoms like Everybody Loves Raymond and Becker, it's
hard to tell people to actually watch TV. Well, I'm not a big fan of TV, but there are a
few shows out there that actually don't suck. Despite what Hoss says about TV, these shows Don't Suck.....

Six Feet
Under |
| Channel: |
HBO |
| Time: |
Reruns at Different Times |
| Genre: |
Drama |
| Why it doesn't suck:
I'm a little late on this boat, I was hoping to hype this show up on GYEAH a few months
back, but I'm better late than never. This show's regular season run is over, but you can
still catch it in re-runs. I never thought an HBO series could top the Soprano's, but in
my un-humble opinion this is even better than the Tony Soprano & Co. I know "no
one disrespects the Bing," but this show, written by Alan Ball (American Beauty)
blends comedy and drama unlike any show I've ever seen. In one episode you'll laugh and
even shed a tear, all in one hour...this is an amazing show...WATCH IT! |

2 Minute
Drill |
| Channel: |
ESPN |
| Time: |
6:00 - Tuesdays & Thursdays |
| Genre: |
Game Show |
| Why it doesn't suck:
For years there's been pathetic game shows galore, but never a really great sports one.
Once Who Wants to Be a Millionaire caught on, ESPN launched the 2 Minute Drill, and made
the best sports game show ever. This show is hosted by the always hilarious Kenny Mayne
and has enough easy questions for everyone to chime in and enough hard ones to stump even
the best. |

The Andy
Dick Show |
| Channel: |
MTV |
| Time: |
9:30 - Sundays |
| Genre: |
Variety Show |
| Why it doesn't suck:
Andy Dick is Tom Green with a brain, and he's the host of one of the most consistently
funny shows I've ever seen. The whole Daphne Aguilera skits are getting a little old, but
the Boogie Man and Naked Football coach skits make me laugh so hard I piss myself. I also
love how whenever a celebrity comes on the show, they end up snapping on Andy...hilarious. |

The Daily
Show |
| Channel: |
Comedy Central |
| Time: |
Various Times - Mon. - Fri. |
| Genre: |
"News"/Comedy/Talk Show |
| Why it doesn't suck:
I just mentioned how Andy Dick was so consistently funny, but no show is as funny as The
Daily Show every single day. 5 days out of the week this show brings straight laughs and
even a few celebrities and some real news. Jon Stewart is one of the funniest talk show
hosts on TV, twice as funny as big chinned Leno. I worship this show. |

Dennis
Miller - Live |
| Channel: |
HBO |
| Time: |
10:30 - Fridays |
| Genre: |
Talk Show/Comedy/News |
| Why it doesn't suck:
I know alot of people that piss on Dennis Miller's commentary during Monday Night
Football, but my opinion is they're just not smart enough to get his humor. Miller started
the news on Saturday Night Live, and on HBO there are no boundaries. No one can rant like
Miller, and I doubt there is a smarter comedian in the world. Miller doesn't pull punches,
you have to respect him for that. |

Jackass |
| Channel: |
MTV |
| Time: |
9:00 - Sundays |
| Genre: |
Comedy/Extreme Sports |
| Why it doesn't suck:
I know this show is starting to show it's age, and it's only been around for two seasons,
but it still has laugh out loud funny moments. When this show first came out, I would
laugh until I cried. Now that the backlash has occurred, they're starting to tone it down,
but it's still quality. Johnny Knoxville is leaving the show, and that may mark it's end,
which just plain sucks as Bam Margera and the others are twice as funny as Mr. Knoxville.
Watch this show while you can! |

| Genre: |
Cartoon/Comedy |
| Why it doesn't suck:
This show is also showing it's age, but it's been around for over a dozen seasons, so
that's obviously going to happen. But this show is still the best cartoon on TV and it's
witty humor is one of a kind. I know everyone knows about this show, so do I really need
to point out the obvious? I didn't think so. |

Skit/Comedy |
| Why it doesn't suck:
Many of you probably haven't heard of this show, as it's new to Comedy Central this month.
It's hosted by Dave Attell who used to play a homosexual movie reviewer on the Daily Show.
On the show Attell runs around different cities at the wee hours causing as much havoc as
he can. It's hilarious to watch, and I think of it as a TV show that GYEAH.com would make
if we had the money. It's on late, but none of us sleep, so what's the problem? |

-Well, that's just my take on what few good TV shows are
out there, but I know I'm not the last word. What do you have to say? Tell us what shows
suck, what shows everyone should watch; do it all....
