'Who wants to marry a millionaire.' Except the 'millionaire' is a fake and the victims are being lead down the garden path.

Faux Network has hit rock bottom and begun to dig....
I think that's pretty funny. Just when I thought nothing good was on TV!
I can't wait till the gold diggers found out they've been had. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Just out of curiosity, why are they called reality shows? Last time I checked, I don't live on a desert island working my way through challenges, live in a house completely filled with cameras with several other people, or fool dozens of girls into thinking I'm a multi-millionaire. How are these shows remotely like reality?

If they called them Unreality shows, Epic Games would be on their backs for copyright infringement :)

They're airing the pilot next week and then that's it. But Joss is trying to sell Firefly to UPN.

I've only seen a couple episodes of Firefly but I like what I've seen. I hope UPN has some smart executives but that hoping for too much!

Didn't they add Seven of Nine to boost the sagging ratings? No pun intended. :D
