BURBANK, NY – It’s All-Star week, the Mutts are in contention and the Yankees are not, despite what our fans think. Naturally that means old Rexy needs to talk about something other than baseball just to keep everyone guessing. This week we have my list of ten TV shows you all should be watching if you aren’t already. In no particular order they are as follows:
The Daily Show and 60 Minutes. Believe it or not both shows are surprisingly similar. Both expose very profoundly the total breakdown of our government and the henchmen who have stolen our country from us. 60 minutes does it with in depth journalistic integrity and The Daily Show with brilliant satire. He might be semi retired but Mike Wallace is still not someone you want to submit to an interview with and Steve Kroft is picking up where Mike leaves off. Jon Stewart could be funny reading the phone book and his list of alumni alone (Steve Carell, Rob Corddry, Steven Colbert… the list goes on) shows what a savvy judge of talent he is. Both show are topical, interesting, and in the Daily Show’s case, hilarious.
Cheap Seats. The Sklar brothers lampoon everything from the Steve Garvey Celebrity Billfishing Tournament to AWA Wrestling to Acapulco cliff diving. A must see for any baby boomer raised on Wide World of Sports.
Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers. These guys are nuts… N - V - T - S nuts. I don’t know what’s crazier; crab fishing in a hurricane in the Bering Sea or hauling 70 thousand pounds of supplies across the frozen Arctic Ocean with the ice crackling beneath you… ALONE! The personalities on Catch are a little more interesting but Truckers has its characters as well. Next time you think you’ve had a rough day imagine crab fishing in forty foot seas for 38 hours straight.
The Wonder Pets. Great kid’s show. Funny, clever, cute, catchy little tunes. Watch it with a three year old you love.
Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David is so annoying it hurts. It’s actually painful to watch yet you can’t look away. If you haven’t seen it rent it from Season One. The Seinfeld co-creator finds new ways to make you cringe every week and his supporting cast is as funny as he is.
The Game Show Network. Steer clear of the new or recent shows and DVR/TIVO the late night gems like ‘70’s classics Match Game, Let’s Make a Deal and Beat The Clock. They’re clunky, under produced, and very funny.
The Simpsons. Just when I think they’ll run out of material, when the well of ideas will run dry, the writers floor me with another gem. Still the gold standard of comedy. Family Guy and South Park are brilliant as well, but Homer and the gang are America’s #1 TV family and are true Pop Culture Icons.
Major League Baseball. Still the National Pastime despite what an NFL fan tells you. Mariners/Padres, Astros/Pirates, Royals/Rangers… who cares! Every game is a new adventure. You might see a walk off homer, a triple play, a cycle, anything. It’s still the best game there is and we are lucky to have it. It’s a drug and I’m addicted.
There you have it folks. Now get to the couch and start working that remote!!!
Rest In Peace Bobby Murcer, a great Yankee and an even greater man.

Hmmm... We just checked the calendar - it's not April 1st... We can't find Ashton Kutcher or Peter Funt anywhere in the studio... Could it be?! Is it true?! Nah... Rex, you couldn't possibly have left MTM off this list on purpose? Did you fall suddenly and hit your head?! Should somebody call us an ambulance??? ("Matts, you're an ambulance!") Amnesia??? Are you suffering from Ryan Church-like post-concussion syndrome??? Are you simply off-kilter because the Mets and Yanks now have the same record? Have you not seen our show? Did you omit "Survivor Man" and "Man Vs Wild" just to tick people off or have you simply lost your marbles up there in Albany?! |
