Guess nobody's watching this... Shame, cos it's the best show on TV right now.

Last night they had a Chinese guy going mental against a zombie, with random kung fu kicks and prayers to leave him alone.

I watch it. That and Punk'd are both hilarious. But friday nights are not good..... why?

I am a huge comic fan, and I even passed on MTVs new Spidey cartoon on fridays... why?

Well, because one can NEVER miss a new episode of Monk!

A rare Scare Tactics where every segment worked. Although, I think they may have gone a little too far in a couple of them (I'm thinking of poor Dennis the Korean groundskeeper --who I felt incredibly bad for-- and the girl at the tanning salon).

I loved the segment with "KK" and the little deaf girl. That played out beautifully and was, to me, a prime example of what this show can be at its best.

Yeah, Friday nights suck, but to put it any place else would be to stick it either A.) someplace worse or B.) against something that would just trample on it. And they do rerun them on Wednesday nights. (If you missed this weeks', I'd highly recommend catching it Wednesday, this was a signature episode.)

I just can't enjoy this show. I guess because the whole time I'm thinking "If this happened to me or my friends it would be called 'When Fucking Morons Get Shot Trying To Pull Off Some Lame Practical Joke'."

My friends and I talked about it and agreed that in many cases we would have probably killed whoever was pulling the stunt. Of course, this is Alabama where everyone has a gun in their car and at least one knife on them at all times.

That tanning salon one was quite something. Instead of worrying about herself the whole time, the girl tried to help the other "victim". Yeah it's a cheesy hidden camera show but it's things like that that restore your faith in humanity.

In other news, I noticed the "Travis" guy who turns up in almost every episode of Scare Tactics has also been appearing in various skits on Trigger Happy TV.

I'm going to sound like a complete wuss, but the "tanning bed" sketch didn't work for me. I just felt really awkward watching that poor girl try to comfort the other one. I found it sad more than funny. And I think you could tell the two actresses were ready to bail on it when they saw how compassionate the girl was being.

The "little psychic girl" bit was priceless, though. Very unique and funny.

The psychic girl one was interesting but they shoud have made the mom less hot, because the guy kept getting distracted whenever she walked into shot.

Just goes to show- even when a man is witnessing the most amazing human miracle, he'll still drop everything to check out some fine ass.

I just caught my first episodes this last Friday. it wasn't bad, but I wish they had let some of the jokes play out a little longer before they told them they were on camera. Most notably was the Chupacabra episode, with Doherty playing herself. I would have had that guy chased all over the farm before we told him what was up.

The girl that thought she stabbed the magician was good. She was starting to cry and everything. That's good TV.

Overall a good idea, but I would just twist the knife a little more.

I was surprised when I actually sat down and watched one of these episodes that I ended up enjoying it.

It seems like they went a lot farther in the earlier episodes. Now they kill it as soon as they have the person hooked. I mean, come on, let 'em stew in it for a while. I know they got sued on one of the first episodes, and I guess that's why they pull it back now as soon as the jig is up. Still, I'd rather they really got some of these people going.

My fave is the one where the guy pretends to be a warewolf and the chick shoots his ass. You know what I'm saying? Step this shit up!

I think the escaped serial killer with handlebar mustache is my favorite one yet. That Travis guy totally cracks me up.

I think the best one I've seen so far was the babysitter in the haunted house, that one was right on the mark all the way through and one of the few that nobody could have possibly gotten hurt.

They don't seem to have Travis anymore in the most recent episodes.

On the plus side, that 90210 woman is attractive in a sexual way.

You know I saw my first episode Thursday night. Finally got off my ass in my new place and got my digital cable back with sci-fi. Loved it. Sure, some segments weren't as good, but what the hell. I taped tonights, about to go watch. Frankly, I'm all aboard just to see Shannon Doherty (who I never really liked till last night) in black smiling and saying "scare you later."

Thing about Shannon Doherty is, technically she's no supermodel but she's got that cheeky glint in her eye. That spark. You can tell she loves setting people up in these cruel horror scenarios.

Sigh...
