Yesterday on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson they debuted the first Robot Skeleton Sidekick Geoff Peterson and he is a great addition to the show!!! Geoff came out about after @CraigyFerg joined The Twitter and @GrantImahara asked him to get him some more followers. He made a deal with @CraigyFerg that if his Robot Skeleton Army got him to 100,000 followers he would build him a Robot Skeleton Sidekick and Oh La La Geoff Peterson was born! We the Robot Skeleton Army are many and we are strong and we love our leader Craig Ferguson and his Robot Skeleton Sidekick!!!
Geoff was part of the opening musical number and stayed around for the rest of the show. Instead of reading Ze Tweets and Ze e-mails we got to see how he survived the trek from Grant Imahara’s office in San Fransisco to CBS TV City. Then he sat next to Kristen Bell who was jealous that she was not asked to be his sidekick. She then told Craig that she didn’t like robots that much because she still is freaked out by them thanks to Small Wonder. Next up was Geoff’s creator Mythbuster’s Grant Imahara who said that his creation will fit in LA because he is skinny! Which is way true. Finally Craig closed the show with Geoff and learned the 8 phrases he only speaks will get old fast. Hopefully his vocabulary will expand in the near future, but even it doesn’t “Ha ha! You’re the man Geoff Peterson!” Don’t you just love him? Tune into The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS tonight at 12:37a to see if Geoff Peterson will attack the hobo audience???
So now that Craig Ferguson has discovered the power of Twitter and Jimmy Kimmel has discover the power of YouTube when will Jay Leno and David Letterman understand the power of Friendster?
So Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, Az has come up with a way to get his inmates to exercise. He is making them pedal their way to watch television according to KSAZ. That’s right he is making them pedal on a stationery bike to power up the 19″ television. While I don’t find that cruel and unusual punishment, I do find their channel selection is that. You are get them exercise and then make them watch the Food Channel? That seems wrong. But not as wrong as making them sweat in a tent to watch the Weather Channel in a city where the temperature reaches 120 degrees in the summer. I am sure they want to know that it is hot as hell outside. But those channels are not as cruel and unusual punishment as their third channel option…C-Span. That channel will make them wish their bikes aren’t stationery so they can pedal right out of that tent. Even politicians don’t want to watch C-Span.
Now back to the concept of Pedal Vision. I think it is brilliant. If I had to pedal my way to watch television, I would be skinnier than the actresses on 90210. Too Soon? Also if I have to pedal my way to watch television, I would probably be watching less TV. For example biking for 3 hours a week to listen to the American Idols destroy my favorite songs, I think I would mute them out of my life. If I had to pedal 3 hours a week for Dancing with the Stars, I would dance that show off my TV. Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Melrose Place, 90210, Private Practice, America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The Simpsons, Two and a Half Men, Smallville, Parks and Recreation and Jimmy Kimmel Live all gone. Wait how did that last one get on there? If I had to work out on Lost, I would be even more excited that show is almost over and then I would think that is how they have to watch TV too and I would feel for them.
So would your pedal for your right to watch TV if you had too?
NBC has picked up The Marriage Ref, Minute to Win It and Who Do You Think You Are? for next season, while Fox has cancelled Sons of Tuscon effective immediately.
The renewal of The Marriage Ref is no surprise, but I was not expecting NBC to renew the other two so quickly. Word of advice to NBC for The Marriage Ref for next season, get rid of Tom Papa. I have not spoken to one person who has watched the show that likes him. He seriously brings down a show that would be a lot funnier without him. There are so many other comedians that could tackle the job better than him, so why not give them a chance….please. If I could pick his replacement, I would go with either one of these Dancing with the Stars alums Adam Corolla or Kenny Mayne.
Now when it comes to Fox, they have cancelled the only non-animated show on their Animation Domination night. After being on the air for less than a month, Fox has pulled the plug on Sons of Tuscon. Personally I think the show got screwed because all but one of the weeks that the show aired Family Guy was a repeat and new episodes always generte higher ratings. Maybe if Family Guy had aired new episodes, SoT would still be on the air? It really was a cute show. Oh well at least I still have ‘Til Death to watch on Fox…oh wait I don’t…:(
Before Niecy Nash was nursing her sore muscles on Dancing with the Stars, she was a nurse on Party of Five. She looks the name now as she did when she was 26 years old in that 1996 episode.
