My Dad is Better Than Your Dad

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

It looked goofy in previews.

It was far more goofy than I would’ve imagined.

It can be best described as Family Double Dare, except without the questions, and more elaborate physical challenges. And no Obstacle Course (boooooooooo).

The final elimination event was the wackiest of them all. One family was stationed at a turret that shoots gray, Nerf-like darts, and they had to shoot at window-targets worth either 100 or 500 points, and the opposing team’s dad had to block the shots with a tennis racket and a frying pan while wearing a catcher’s chest protector and face mask.

Note to self: get a TV Tuner card installed on PC so I can screencap shit like this and post appropriate pictures.

Oh, Mark Burnett. They all can’t be Survivor.

Moment of Truth

Horrible excuse for a game show.

I liked Mark L. Walberg from Russian Roulette (never saw Tempation Island though) and his performance is ok in this game, but the “game” is incredibly stupid for a television show.  It feels like I’m watching a job interview.

Sometimes, Stopping for Dinner Isn’t Worth It

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Coming back from taping the State of the County address, I needed to stop for dinner.

I passed by a Checkers, which is a fast-food place that has only a few places on Long Island.

One part of me wanted to partake in Checkers.

The rational part of me wanted to keep driving because Checkers isn’t worth stopping in Central Islip.

Rational mind wins out, and Joe gets Chinese in a neighborhood that’s not Central Islip.
