Greatest American Dog

Anyone watch this show tonight and actually liked it?

I decided to watch it to see just how stupid these dog owners are, because judging by the previews I had seen, the girls looked like prissy airheads with there annoying and ugly lapdogs, and the guys just looked like complete morons. And hey whaddya know? I was 100% correct.

Another horrible, horrible tv show that will get eaten up by the masses.

Amen. "Reality" shows in general are a very good reason to check the movie channels or pull out a good book.

Although I will admit to watching a few "Dancing with the Stars" episodes. I consider it to be non-toxic.

You know what I never understand about those hit American shows where there is 3 judges (American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, America's Got Talent, etc.)? Why is there always a British judge? I don't have anything against the British, it just perplexes me. What's wrong with a nice Irish judge, or perhaps a Swiss?

Because, the British are dignified, refined, and intelligent. Just listen to how they talk! (At least, that's probably what is conveyed to the typical reality show viewer.)

Actually I think several of them are produced by Simon Cowell and they're his buddies.

I was really disappointed and turned it off after the first 10 minutes. The ads for the show were deceiving as it's not so much about the dogs but about their owners and their hope to claw their way to the winners circle by stepping on each other. I think "reality" shows are a huge waste of time.

yeah my drummer is going to be out for a while having surgery Monday, but a break will probably do us some good. a year of learning covers, messing with the recorder, and opinions not being "heard", and still no one is in a "hurry" to gig any...Im almost ready to move on. i wanna play out...they are quite happy just sitting in the garage. sucks

just to let you know, the british judge is victoria stillwell. she is a renowned dog trainer in the uk. she actually lives a few miles from me here in sandy springs and is very good friends with my next door neighbor who is a professional dog trainer also. i have met victoria and she is one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. check out her show on the animal planet called "IT'S ME OR THE DOG". she is made to look mean on the show kind of but this lady is the real deal, not like ceaser milan who is a jackass.
i didnt like the show either and but we will see how it evolves. i wish victoria would do an american version of ITS ME OR THE DOG. that is a great show. she also is doing a lot of work with PAWS ATLANTA which is one of the states only no-kill shelters. the shelter is in desperate need of money for renovavtions and she is really helping out with her celebrity and her know how.
