I didn't agree with his comment at the time, and I still don't. TV is both educational and entertaining. If all you want to watch is "reality" TV, that's your choice, but there is too much good programming to be able to watch all of it.

Try watching another movie and not hear "trust me" somewhere, sometime during the movie.

It's becoming my favorite...The "as seen on TV" commercials when they're giving the price and..."But wait, there's more"!

It has to be interesting writing for TV shows because so much of the dialogue is recycled. Maybe the writers have codes for cliches they use so often. One of my favorites is, "We don't want any trouble." A guy and his date are walking alone on a dark, deserted street when three thugs approach them. The guy says those magic words, thinking the thugs will go on their way.

Is "Trouble" an item you can order online? "Oh, excuse us. We though you were the gentleman who had ordered Trouble. Sorry if we bothered you."

Another good, over-used line is, "You don't want to do this." Well, he's obviously doing it, so he must want to do it.

I know of a haunt that advertises with the phrase You don't want to do this

Here in England I have often wondered if there are any robbery or western films which do not contain the line "let's get outta here."
