Reality TV has gone too far.

I just say an ad on TV:

You thought reality TV couldnt go any futher.

You were wrong.

"Celebrity boxing"

Then with some shots of some people in boxing gear.

When the hell will reality TV die!

Celebritiy boxings been and gone! They had one fight on BBC and then the next ones got stopped by the Boxing Commision or something.

Hell, Fox did this about two years ago.

they´ve been on over here for quite a while. i don´t know if they still broadcast them but they were actually fun to watch. i actually only saw 1.
it was actually fun to wach, 2 idiots you don´t like beat each other up and since they don´t know how to box their guard is usually down and it ends up in a wild streefight similar thing.

Are you kidding? Watching celebrities beat each other up can never get boring!

It can when the two suck so much at fighting it hurts to watch (some of the action stars might do good though. MIGHT, mind you)

dude, Dustin Diamond was a kick ass fighter, they should out him up against bears and kangaroos and shit.

Personally, I think it would be neat to see some kind of celebrity boxing league. Danny Bonaducce (sp?) would reign king forever. and that, my friends, is just a#1 fucking hilarious.

But then it becomes a comedy! There's never been a TV show which can change genre on the fly, it's great!

No way you'll get an action star because of one thing: ego. But I'd looooove to see Van Damm in there with Segal. Segal would completely own The Ballerina.

Being serious for a second, I think Will Smith would do really well, what with the training he went through for Ali.

I think, however, Mr. Bonaducce had some actual experience...would be fun to watch him and Will duking it out, though. But you have to think that Billy-boy would be worried an awful lot about his pretty face getting messed up to make an effective boxer.
(Is this conversation really happening?)

Arnie vs. Coleman in the ring.

Little man would be thrown around.

You probably wouldn't. He punches like a girl.

Besides at 55 Arnold is a bit too old for an action hero.

How about Ben Affleck vs. J. Lo? Hopefully it'll end in a duouble fatality and we never have to hear about either one of them again. *sighs happily*

Les Dennis fought Bob Mortimor(sp) and Les beat seven shades of shit out of Bob. It was fecking fantastic.

That surprised the shit out of me when he fought Horshack. I thought it was gonna be two guys who can't fight swinging wildly at each other, but Screech had his shit together.

Most likely it'll become a porn flick, then J-Lo complains about lackluster performance, Ben Afflecks gets all pissy and then some cow comes and runs them over or something.

They've been doing Celebrity Boxing for over a year.

I thought this Joe Millionaire thing was going to be over after the first one, as everyone would be suspicious of some guy that claims to have inherited a fortune out of nowhere, but they have to go overseas and do it again. Hopefully, it reaches the point where everyone knows about it, so they can't do it again.

Sarevok · Post by **Sarevok** » 2003-10-15 09:34am

Did you say overseas ? Star World is now broadcasting "Joe Millionaire" in the Asia-Pacific region. I hate that show.

Patrick Stewart's older, and he's done the last three ST films.

Damn, that was surprising. I sure as hell didn't know Screech was about 6 ft tall, 200 lbs, and was experienced in the martial arts. As for the fight itself, not only was he a decent boxer, but he was entertaining as well! I loved the way he played to the crowd, with his "Just Bring It" hand gesture, and the way he suckered Horshack in with a macho pose before pounding the shit out of him.

Stewart has the ability to act like an action hero, all Ahnuld can do is look really really tough. Or perhaps he's just the Governator now...
Choices choices choices.

Gah I just realized that the two biggest major governmental upsets in the first decade of the millenium placed utter fucking buffoons in high power offices over very very powerful governments.

Some people are saying that new reality TV shows will focus on rich heirs, Like this. Frankly, I don't see why anyone would watch stuff like that either. Who cares if some people got all their fame and fortune from family connections that would make President Bush jealous?
