What are you watching this Christmas?

Maury Povitch?

from JoeUser Forums
It's Christmas eve and my 19 year old is watching Maury "the sleaze" Povich as he tries to do a Dr Phil and cure a woman of her fear of frogs.
No success, but then he goes into lie-detector mode to see whether a boyfriend is sleeping with his girl's mother. She (Mom) is telling the truth and Maury works his magic again.

I call this Trailer Trash TV and one step down from Jerry Springer (make that half a step). How anyone can watch this tasteless crap beats me but I guess it appeals to the teenagers.

Fortunately I shall be able to watch Canadian chef Michael Smith later on. He will be cooking a turkey. I guess the teenagers will think that sad! What will you be watching tonight?

Tomorrow, thank goodness, there is no twenty year old movie for Christmas on Arabian TV so we have normal schedules . I don't know about the USA but the Brits usually drag out Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins or some other ancient old-timer in the belief that it brings the family together.

Christmas TV. It 's nohing to write home abou.t

yes I have to agree I have been through all the channels looking for something suitable to watch - zippo! I will probably hire a movie later to watch on the pay per view....for want of anything better to watch

I bought the dvd "My super ex girlfriend" and I had a good laugh watching it, as the story line goes it was absolute drivel - but for comic value - hysterical, I loved it.

Have a good christmas you and yours Ad.

after a weird lunch of macaroni and cheese,  with chicken nuggets ( for my son) and a tv dinner for me, ( turkey and taters with peas)  we're getting ready to sit down and watch his new DVD's,  "Star Wars"  numbers 5 and 6,  which is "The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi".

Don't know how much I can stand to sit through...

Maury is the pits!

Mighty nice people live in trailors so please?  don't use that term "trailor trash"??  I know, I used to live in one,  and we're not trashy.

Right now we're watching Die Another Day. Previously, I watched Iron Chef America. Nothing very Christmasy. I normally have the gang over for Christmas Eve but I just wasn't feeling it. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just in a mood I guess. Hopefully it will pass.

They did have Sound of Music on last night but we were watching the Stars game. I really don't even think that Sound of Music counts as a Christmas movie. I do like to watch the Disney parade and I love A Christmas Story. Though probably the guys will be watching football - the Cowboys.

So are you British living in Egypt? How long have you lived there?

Have a good Christmas Adnauseam. And ban that trash TV in your house. It really is garbage isn't it. I can see how you get reeled in though, all of a sudden you just want to know who is the father of the baby.

"Trailer trash TV" is just a figure of speech--no offence meant.

Yes, I have lived in Egypt for two years and in six other African countries before this. Cairo is the biggest city in Africa yet has the lowest crime rate !

There is something lower than Jerry Springer?  Will wonders never cease!

Last night I was watching Miracle on 34th Street.  Today, a lazy rainy cold christmas, nothing.  Just enjoying being lazy.

I'm watching my toenails grow. Not very exciting but a step or two up from Povich or Springer.
