One of the few channels I still watch has fallen to the usual sensationalistic BS. I thoroughly disagree that there is anything informative or educational on any of discovery's programming, unless nothing but death re-inactments and property damage statistics count as educational. And I love that everyday in the middle of the afternoon (and shouldn't a parent be able to think that a SCIENCE channel would be good television for their children?) you can turn to discovery animal planet and see (always young and attractive AND showing cleavage... hope most of you have daughters, since you're trying to create a society where people like to hear about them dying violently. Would it bother you if that happened?) actresses covered in fake blood getting mauled to death by bears. Good strategy for teaching people to coexist with nature and try to appreciate it. Or maybe I'm supposed to care about my OWN species as little as these people do. Well that's not the case, so I think I'll get me a hunting license. You've made it very clear its us or them. Oh, and their oceanography programs seem to be encouraging people to exterminate sharks. I'm sure its hard for you idiots to understand, but there IS more to learn about in the natural world than how horrifically a person can be disemboweled by whatever animal. But ratings and money are important arent they? You'd have to be pretty thick to believe these people are doing anything to fulfill their responsabilities as a SCIENCE-based INFORMATIVE media. thanks for helping me lose hope in society and i hope you all make a lot of money. I also hope your kids take an interest in deep woods camping, you can think about that while you pick the next horror story for one of your 'educational' programs. Or maybe they'll become so traumatized by your programs that they grow up deathly afraid of so much as a chipmunk in the yard. Of course, it probably wont ever resolve itself so justly. isn't it great how only OTHER people can suffer for your gross negligence, greed, and insensitivity? Can we get this whole company re-staffed from the top down? All the people losing jobs in this country through no fault of their own and THESE pigs deserve to keep making money for this kind of excriment? If you don't want to encourage an interest in science then work for any other channel on television. I think you'll find they all share your pathetically self-destructive ideologies

I never saw it and doubt it was much to watch, but I read a Danny Bonaduce interview about its origin. He said he was in the gym for his workout and noticed that Donny Osmond was there too. He walked by and said that he could take him in a couple of rounds and Osmond had some glib comeback. It was just two celebrities in their gym shorts joking around. He then went to work on his radio show and mentioned the story on the air. Donny Osmond called him from his car to take him up on the challenge.

It continued as an on-air lark for a few days until serious offers from producers started to appear and the first Celebrity Boxing episode was born. They hped it like an Ali/Frazier bout at the time.

It would have been great if thay had left it at that.

THE best late night monologue on TV. Consistently creative and spontaneous.

Although I don't plan to sign up with this company, I find these ads quite catchy, covering a wide variety of situations and music styles, from the pirates in the fish eatery to the Renaissance fair; this shows creativity. They're clearly dubbed, but fun, nevertheless.

Honestly, I've seen worse ads, like that cheesy hat hanging over the people's heads.

An emotionally stunted doctor who seems bent on getting under the skin of everyone around him happens to be so good at what he does that his hospital simply can't get rid of him.

A pretty simple formula for a show, but it works surprisingly well.

Parts are fairly graphic, and remind me why I hate hospitals. Other parts are heartbreaking -- an episode I just watched involved a cancer-riddled 11-year-old. Mix in some comic relief from an oddly sympathetic dirtbag of a doctor and you have what I consider one of the best shows in recent memory.

This series of commercials originated in the United Kingdom (where they were for Nestles Gold Blend Coffee) and started running a couple of years before the North American series. The story line was pretty much the same, with the steadily developing flirtation between the yuppie couple, although there were points of divergence, and siginificantly the UK series came to a conclusion, whereas the US series ended in mid-stream. The UK series was something of a national obsession (hence the reason it got transplanted to the US.) It also inspired a romance novel called "Love over Gold."

The reason these two characters flirted with one another for so long but never appeared to consumate their sexually playful relationship was eventully revealed to be due to the fact that the male character was impotent from drinking too much instant coffee.

I would definately not buy insurance from a company that has such stupid commercials. I'm still old school enough to expect my financial institutions to be rock solid, reliable, serious, conservative businesses. The AFLAC Duck doesn't inspire in me any confidence in the competance of a company.

I'm not in, nor do I know many people who are in the demographic for these spots so I don't know if the spots are successful at generating sales. But I do know it's been wildly successful at generating punchlines at pubs and parties for a couple of decades. Everytime someone with a drink in their hand hits the deck some wise guy is likely to utter the phrase.
