"The Jimmy Finger"










"The Jimmy Finger" is for the nervous hand that grasps the remote control for the television. The finger that is used to push the button that changes the channel. Sometimes this finger twitches and behaves almost as if it has a mind of it's own. This guidde will help scratch that itch!

  • The Family Feud (Al Roker edition) - NBC - "Name something with two wheels that a person may ride" (crickets chirp). It's a battle of the nitwits this week on The Family Feud. This time around joining the always jovial Al Roker on the survey game will be Alums of Vh-1 reality shows. Look for Christopher (Peter Brady) Knight and his weirdo wife bicker back and forth as they air their dirty laundry publicly. Joining the competition later this week, will be none other than the gang from Orange County Choppers and TLC's American Chopper. Keep in mind as you watch, that Poppa Paul Sr., Jr., and Mikey and Co. are as dumb as a box of rocks. Prior to the taping of the show, the whole group had to be sat down and briefed about what the game show was all about. In other words, the siblings have never seen nor heard of it. Rumor has it that they still struggled throughout the game scratching their heads. Ah yes, now this is what television is all about. Verrrry interesting!
  • My Life on the "D" List -BRAVO-/ Larry King Live-CNN - Everyone just loves the quirky, "in your face" style of comedy that comes out of Kathy Griffin's mouth. She's such a hoot and is so popular this year that it makes Sarah Silverman wish she'd have hung onto Jimmy Kimmel a few more months... Maybe she wouldn't be playing the Horseshoe Casino. Watch Kathy shoot from her lip as she comments on homosexuality, who she's slept with this past week, and why it's such a bitch being Irish and having naturally red, curly hair. See her on BRAVO and then for another appearance on Mr. KIng as they both schmooze it up together. Watch as Larry asks her silly questions and doesn't bother to wait for her answer. Also, see Larry roll his tongue back into his mouth when a caller from Jupiter, Florida asks Kathy Griffin if "the carpeting matches the curtains". Kathy may also turn up on The View while making her rounds, while she tap dances around the issue of her own sexuality to a nervous Barbera Walters who has her finger poised on the panic button.
  • Beverly Hills 90210 (marathon) -The "n" - See the weak and often repetative storylines as they were back in 1990 BEFORE DeGrassi: The Next Generation took the idea to Canada and recycled everything over again. Gearing up for a revival of it's own, 90210 is responsible for the successful careers of.... of.... exactly. See Shannon Doherty as she was back in the day when she'd still keep her mouth shut as Brenda. As you watch, keep in mind that behind the scenes of that show, Doherty thought she was too good to be there and had her agent working hard to cast her on a new WB show called "Charmed". Also keep in mind that after Doherty left the cast of both shows fighting amongst one another in real life, she already moved on to host "Scare Tactics" on SCI-FI. This marathon is perfect timing as she announced her plans to do an old friend a favor by returning to 90210 on CW. Not too surprising is the fact that after her announcement at a press conference just last week, several members of the cast of the new show have already had a change of heart and decided to take a pass rather than work with her.
