Your Favorite Shows
If I had to only get one channel I think I could get by with the Discovery channel, it used to be the History channel but the Discovery channel has had so many good shows lately.

Re: Your Favorite Shows
I think Discovery should produce a comedy called 'American Crackhead' - I'd watch it.
And how 'bout Seinfeld reruns!? (get 'em off TBS and the local yokels) No matter how many times I watch them I still find myself actually feeling embarrassed by George's idiocies.

Re: Your Favorite Shows
I think it's +90% for real. I worked for a guy very much like him for about 5 years. Big bark, kinda' scary, but as good as gold if you were a performer. He'd chew you a new one for scew ups but give you the shirt off his back when you were doin' right by him. I enjoyed working for him.

Classic. Right up there with swearing he's gay just to ditch a girlfriend he doesn't like (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Re: Your Favorite Shows
jm, Paulie gets away with everything. I grew up as #1, in jr.'s position, my youngest bro was Paulie. I was railed for taking too much time to make something perfect (which was expected) while my younger bros. were out screwing up, having a good time and it was all in good fun.
Wait, Paulie is Jr., right? Maybe I got them mixed up, I don't watch that often. Anyway Sr. has his schedule way too tight, no allowances for the screwups that are destined to occur. I used to build custom bikes back before the Rolex Bikers and understand the routine well.

Re: Your Favorite Shows
I think Paul seniors temper is made for TV. If he gets all worked up over all that petty stuff for real, he needs to find a different line of work. You don't see Jesse having temper tantrums over childish crap, he gets the jobs done and moves on. - - Mythbusters and Monster Garage rule! - -

Re: Your Favorite Shows
BTB, HGTV is killing me! I went out on a kitch remod the other day and was going through the qualifing questions...
Q#1, What is your budget? A. $5,200. Q#2, What made you think that you would get an entire new kitchen for $5,200? A. I saw it on HGTV. All that she wanted was new cabinets, granite countertops, undercounter sink, SS backsplash, tile,............ I'm really spoiling for a fight with HGTV.

All these friggin home shows are corrupting america and their expectations, folks wanted a bathroom gutted and put back together in 3 days...takes that long to get rough in inspection done round here with these guys. Everything is picture perfect with a light fixture swap budget and minimal time...homies still dont relate to "cant believe everything you read/hear" Only good thing, gettin calls and mettin new folks The shows get their imaginations working.

Re: Your Favorite Shows
No kidding, Extreme Home Makeover has to be the biggest culprit. People see that show and think/say "they built a house in a week, why can't you do my job that fast" - LOL.
Of course, they don't realize all the plans, permits, ordering, scheduling and the like are done months in advance. And never mind there's probably 500-1000 people working that they NEVER see! I took a project management course a few years ago and the instructor showed us a 1/2 hour video of a house that was built start to finish in 24 hours. It was put together to show the importance of a well designed plan. Every task for the house was planned out to the minute. Thank goodness there isn't a TV show about that every week - we'd really be in trouble then! |
