Non-Japanese TV Shows (broadcast, cable, etc.)

Camille..thats her name..I agree she is cuter..her face is beautiful..but sometimes she just wore the wrong clothes that did not compliment her at all :shakehead:

'NOTHER "Amen" of the day.

I'm in good company with Mr. thetenken (nice to hear from you in a while, by the way).

This reminds me of Matrix 3 :sleeping:

LOL..Matrix 3 did SUCK!

O.K., O.K., O.K., THREE WHOLE "AMENS" so far.

SO glad to see I'm not alone in shielding mine ears and eyes.

As for charges of racism, well, American Idol is dependent upon voters in America. Not only voters in America, but those crazy enough to actually call in to vote. Unfortunately most of America is still racist/prejudiced. People may just feel "more comfortable" voting a particular race, etc. You don't think there's a huge Hawaiian voting block that's just voting for what's her name because she's from Hawaii? Or because she's Asian? Sad, but true. Who doesn't wanna see the asian girl succeed? This is a popularity contest, not a true talent contest. If it was a true talent contest then they should just let Simon or whoever do the judging...

I don't mind reality tv since many sitcoms here in the US are crap. I find myself watching shows from other countries instead or whatever is on satellite or XPLAY on TechTV because Morgan Webb rules!

For so many years I have been watching "Denpa Shonen" and other Japanese shows that I wished that something similar would come to the US. Now, I wish there was something like "Music Station", "UTABAN" or "HEY! HEY! HEY!" in the US but the last time that happened was during the "Dance Party USA", "Solid Gold" and "American Bandstand" days. Oh...well, at least there's Howard Stern on E!

I hear you man.

The Man's view is . . . what's the big damn deal ABOUT VOTING W/REGARD TO A TELEVISION SHOW??? Keep in mind . . . it's a TELEVISION SHOW . . . TV producers might just very well end up doing what they will DESPITE what the votes say, for all we know (or for all YA'LL WHO VOTE know, that is, bwahahha). Remember, IT'S A TELEVISION SHOW (hey, did I mention that already? Hmph, probably as many times as I've "Amen'd" already in this thread) -- what counts more than a winner for these "reality shows"? What counts more? RATINGS. Don't believe me? No ratings = no show. NO SHOW means no winner. Or . . . do I watch SO less of TV nowadays that I'm off-base?

Am I?

P.S. I wonder what the ratio is regarding "those who vote for reality shows to those who vote on Election Day"?

Like I said . . . Robocop.

u know i really hate the song that jasmine sang "everlasting love" that is sooooo horrible.. :sweat: but sure, she isnt the most amazing singer but shes got a voice. maybe not as great but definitely a nice voice though. at least she has done her best!!!

i dont necessarily think she'll win the ai title.. but i would love to see her win. why?? to shut all the jasmine haters up hahhahaha!!! (from the other ai forum) nah seriously like i said i dont care who wins but if i could pick the winner i would give it to jasmine. cause i'd rather see one of my "pplz" win this thang. if she doesnt win then ill scream and shout, "RACIST! RACIST!!" like other people have done in the past. jk..lol!! oh wellz, ai3 is a piece of crap now.. since they took off camille and george :(

Just saw the booing..how sad..I think it's uncalled for becuz its mean.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that Paula is a bad judge..two-faced I'd say..and Jasmine..I feel sorry for her..she was happy but tried to hold it in..on top of that her feeling was hurt from the judges and audience.

Since we're sort of on the subject of TV, guess what channel I got today?

JADE TV!!! Yup I get to watch all the HK programs that my heart desires :hehe: They even show Music Videos at 8am in the morning!

Bahaha... lucky guy... anyways... im tired of hearing about this american idol crap.... its gettin old.... :shakehead:

You guys are lucky..I just get crappy comcast cable..nothing extra

I agree..the ppl who boo should vote if they want their fav to win..and yes Simon rules..he's hilarious..he says the stuff I'm thinking most of the time.

coz gays are frank :nut: :crazy:

Wow! Watched it and man...talk about sucks for Jasmine. But at the same time, do you think she was overly cheerful after it was revealed she was safe? Then all of a sudden she was like sad.

Interesting thing is going on the other AI related forums...they are tearing her up right now.

Yea sorta. You can get it with satellite if you have it. There are like 6 of them or something. It's supposed to be HK TV. I have comcast so it cost me $10 a month for it and I need that box to get it so only the TV with the cable box can see the channel :sweat:
