I'd like to thank TBS for letting me know that George Lopez has a new talk show every five minutes, as it prevents Chip Caray from talking about the game at hand, a task he is clearly incapable of performing.

I really hate

the “mini walk-in’s” where two characters from a show will stand in the lower corner of the screen. One is usually acting silly and the other is just SO ANNOYED and CANNOT BELIEVE HOW THE OTHER IS ACTING SO SILLY! And then it says “Tuesday at 9/8CST!”

And I just want to vomit.

I always loved that one.

but when they did that bit on Family Guy it was funny...

TBS deserves a broadcasting FAIL for their baseball coverage.

That WAS hillarious, I absolutly agree.

I always loved that one.

Fiction becomes reality

If they don’t reduce the frequency of those promos, Lopez really will to have a huge gang of people storming his house with torches, and they won’t be wondering when his show starts.

I hate baseball on TBS.

Is it still owned by Ted Turner? If he’s still the Braves owner too, maybe annoying the hell out of us is his idea of payback for 1991.
At least I have TRN.

I listened to TRN last night for the first time in a long time

and Gordo/Gladden were TERRIBLE! I had no idea what the hell was going on in the game for a solid 4 or 5 minutes. They were talking about chew/gum and pitchers, etc etc while Span was batting! It was crazy.

That said…I really, really miss the FSN crew (yes, even Robbie What’shisface). :(

Really?

IDK, maybe I’m just used to listening to them since I don’t have cable. As much as I like DicknBert, I’ll sometimes even turn the audio down on the Fox9/My29 broadcasts and listen to them instead. The only time I’ve felt out of the loop is when there’s been a close play or some controversy. The only thing I would really watch on cable is the Twins and mlb.tv is blacked out in the Cities.

I stand by my “TBS sucks” statement at any rate!

haha, yes.

TBS sucks far worse than Gordo/Gladden or DicknBert.

Sometimes it’s just tempting to turn them all off and enjoy the game and some music on my own. :\

That is par for the course

It was even worse over the weekend when the station found it necessary to bring in every former Twins who ever played in the Dome to chat with those two losers. I was yelling Serenity Now! in the sauna.

by BD57 on Oct 8, 2009 3:56 PM EDT reply actions

as bad as it may be

its nowhere near the level of Frank TV. Those hurt.

George Lopez has a new TV show?

I think I heard something about that in between hearing about Rick Porcello at some point. Did you guys know he’s only 20?

I hope George Lopez has Rick Porcello on his show as a guest.

by benhertz on Oct 8, 2009 9:16 PM EDT reply actions

do you think he interviews like a 29-year old?

"We've heard some rumors about your age. Are you really 20 or is that just some kind of publicity stunt cooked up by your agents?

And be honest…the world really wants to know your age, especially all of those eligible females in our audience here on TBS.
