Can You Guess This TV Theme? #32 - Answer

Congratulations to TS Hendrick over at The Non-Review! I though I had everybody stumped this week, but he and his brother teamed up to guess this week's TV theme....



I have to be honest.... I have never seen 'The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.' show. However, I did spend the last 5 minutes reading about th
e show, and I can tell you that it sounds like the worst show ever (It's a western where the cowboy's use futuristic gadgets and fight a bad guy from the future).... However, it was created by Carlton Cuse, the executive producer of a little show called 'LOST'....

Here's a summary of the plot....


'Harvard Law Graduate Brisco County, Jr. searches for the members of the infamous John Bly gang, the same men who killed his father. Along the way, he encounters mysterious golden orbs with strange abilities and colorful characters who help or hinder his mission as he hunts down the Bly gang one by one.'


Not only was the theme used for 'The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.' show, the theme is used by NBC during the Olympics as the intro music when they introduce the upcoming events! GO USA!

The Late Shift

Don't get me wrong, I'm on Team Conan, but YouTube user FiveAlex2009 has posted 26 Jay Leno appearances on 'The Late Show with David Letterman'....

All before their friendship crumbled because Jay Leno and his manager used shady tactics to beat out David Letterman for the 'Tonight Show' host position after Johnny Carson had retired.... And when I say beat out, I mean, having an agent who bullies NBC executives and hiding in closets during executive meetings to gain an upper hand in negotiations.... Have you seen the movie 'The Late Shift'? It's about the battle for the 'Tonight Show' host gig.... Now we need 'The Late Shift 2' to cover NBC's latest debacle between Jay and Conan O'Brien....

Keep in mind, most of the videos include David Letterman asking Jay Leno a question, then Jay proceeding to talk for four to five minutes. But it was interesting to see their dynamic (and Jay 'Elvis' Leno) before the feud.... Click on the photo of Jay and Dave to see the videos....

Chuckles And The Chin - Team Conan or Team Leno?


Are you on Team Conan or Team Leno?

Either way, both team wins.... Conan gets $32.5 million to stay at home and Jay Leno gets 'The Tonight Show' back.... I still think they should make up and create the buddy cop show 'Chuckles and The Chin'. They don't need to star in it, just use a large CGI chin with a mouth and a CGI ginger hairdo with a mouth.... They could fight crime and wisecrack all day long.... Come on, if we can make 'Avatar', we can definitely make 'Chuckles and The Chin'!

The real losers are Conan's staff. All of the staff that had moved from New York to California with their families to work on 'The Tonight Show'.... They're getting a severance package, but now they're all unemployed in a horrible job market....

Oh, and NBC loses too.... Now they don't have Conan O'Brien and they're out $40 million.... That's one expensive mistake....

The Biggest Loss

Did you guys watch "The Biggest Loser" last night? This show draws me in like a moth to a flame. Every year, I'm inspired to sit and eat ice cream in front of the television, while I watch other people exercise.


This year, Abby Rike is a contestant on the show, and she told her devastating story last night in the first episode of Season 8. In 2006, her world collapsed as her husband, five year old daughter and two and a half week old son were all killed by a speeding driver. They showed us pictures of her husband and young children who were tragically taken from her, with solemn music playing in the background, as she described how she had turned to food to help her cope.

As I sat there in my puddle of tears, all I could think was 'if my wife and children were gone tomorrow, just gone, I couldn't go on living. That would be it. That would be the end of me.'. Is that selfish? I just don't think I'd be able to function as a human being.

Anyway, I'm waiting for one of the contestants to start crying about how leaving the "Biggest Loser Ranch" would be the worst thing in the world.

Four Weeks At The Biggest Loser Ranch............................$4,000.00

New Clothes After Massive Weight Loss.............................$1,000.00

Crying About How Leaving The "Biggest Loser Ranch" And Losing The Attention Of Personal Trainers And The Opportunity To Win A $100,000 Grand Prize Would Be The Worst Thing In The World, While The Woman Who Tragically Lost Her Entire Family In A Car Accident Is Standing Behind You.............Priceless.
