What's the last thing you watched only because you didn't have the remote control handy?

The other day I knew the moment I plopped onto the couch that I was going to sit there for a while.
I had just finished working on the stupid yard, I had a drink in my hand, and I wasn't going nowhere.
After about ten minutes of mindless watching, I realized Revenge of the Nerds was on. 
I looked around for the remote, cursed a little a lot for a little, then said to myself, 
Whatever...so I watched Revenge of the Nerds. . .

. . .all of it. . .

  • A documentary about bringing water to a poor village in South America. It was so depressing. I wanted to change the channel, but the dogs hid the remote. I can't imagine the smell. It was awful. They'll be cleaning a week or two

  • I just saw that one the other day.  And not to sound insensitive, but that would a great Halloween costume!

  • Are you kidding me??
    Personally, I think that besides bumming the hell out of people, they are not effective at all in keeping people from smoking.
    I tell you, UNEQUIVOCALLY, that I had never seen an anti smoking commercial that.didn't make me want to smoke a cigarette. Especially after that massive guilt trip.
    Sometimes i can be.sitting there not even thinking about smoking, then PAM!
    . . . There's the lady and the incubator.... then im.like ....Daaaaaaam.   I need a cigarette!  )) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 4, 2017 1:12 PM MST

  • You know, I like that one actress that plays in that, but I couldn't stomach the show. 
    Thanks Glis, that's a real bad one getting stuck watching.

  • Feel exactly the same way. I think Deschenel is funny and a good actress but the show is trash.
