Three Cheers for Three Sheets

I'm back to promote a great show that got a second life. The show is called Three Sheets and it used to be on the now defunct network MOJO. Three Sheets boils down to this, Zane Lamprey, a very funny guy with an iron liver, travels around the World visiting countries for the express purpose of introducing his audience to the local drinking customs. He give you some neat information about the place he's visiting and then proceeds to drink their local spirits with a local guide all the while making quippy jokes and educating people.

The show has a devoted following (like Rachel and me) which has resulted in Zane continuing inside jokes (which are explained to the uninitiated) and the resulting drinking game. I guarantee you will enjoy this show if you like alcohol and/or travel. In fact, you will find yourself wanting to visit these places and marvel at how Zane has the best job in the world.

At the end of each show, Zane shows you the aftereffects of his imbibing. He usually looks like hell and that's the beauty. He doesn't show himself looking great, he's honest with how shitty he feels. Following that, he then tries the local hangover cure, usually to some comedic effect.

I think my favorite part of the show is how he nice and appreciative he is to his hosts. He can be outlandish and a jokester but you can tell he makes fast friends and the people are glad he came.

So, please check out Three Sheets on Fine Living Network starting Monday, July 20th. Here's his site, enjoy.

Everybody Can Suck It!

Kathy Griffin's "My Life on the D-list" premiers tonight on Bravo at 9pm. If you've never caught her show it is hilarious. I think what I like most about her and the show is that she doesn't hide her pathological desire to be noticed. While other celebrities act nonchalantly towards fame and exposure, Kathy pursues it with great vigor and is completely unashamed about it.

Also, she is one incredibly funny person.

Lastly, Wipeout has two new hours this Wednesday.

How's That for Equality?

Well, a female finally won Wipeout last night. In fact, it was an all female final four, for the first time ever.

I definitely have to hand it to the designers of the obstacles, the Bridge Too Far obstacle is top notch in terms of Schadenfreude. I could watch people get hit in the face by these platforms all day every day and it would never get old. I think it's my second favorite obstacle after the Big Balls (which will probably never be topped).

Here are some decent sites I found.

Tonight's The Night

Wipeout's new season premiers tonight on ABC. Trust me, if you haven't seen this program before, you will love it. Wannabe actors running through obstacle courses and eating shit never ever gets old.

Rest assured I will be giggling like a little kid tonight while watching people wipeout on the Big Balls.

Also, So You Think You Can Dance is on tonight and tomorrow. I never thought I would watch something like this but thankfully Rachel showed me the way. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better program than American Idol. It's unreal what some of these dancers can do. I think my groin pulled itself (that sounded questionable) at least three times last week watching the premier.

Check them out.
