Reality TV shows: I’ve only followed one: “My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss” Hilarious.

TV Shows: Sunny in PHI, The League (sucks this year though), Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy. Occasionally I used to catch the BBC show Hustle as well, although I think that ended. Might have to check out Justified.

Others: Wheeler Dealers and Chasing Classic Cars

I watch nothing on the the “Big 3/4” networks except sporting events (and without NHL, that’s dwindling). Gave up on Family Guy and The Office years ago.

but he was the 80s version of Sean Penn.

Apparently Hagman was a member of the "Peace and Freedom Party" from the 1960s until his death. Yeah, the Peace and Freedom Party that just ran Roseanne Barr and Cindy Sheehan for President/Vice President.

Still Hagman seems like a nice guy who happened to be a left wing loon. Penn is an unmitigated douchebag.

$$$. Although I would think he’s got a good gig going with his current niche at the Travel Channel.

It’s politic of him to say it’s because of the places he can go. Reality is Scripps Network bought Travel Channel, he used to work for them at Food Network, hated the direction they wanted the show to go (they were of the mind “Tony eat BBQ” makes better TV), which is how he hopped to Travel Channel in the first place.

Really though since the Beirut episode the show has gone downhill. It used to be “rude old guy getting into trouble while eating abroad”, but once that episode hit they became addicted to the “message”, since then it’s “contemplative liberal has a sad because people are poor”. The humor of the show is gone.
