EP. 10: "THERE'S TOO MUCH SEX ON TV"

AIRED: June 15, 2003

God is disgusted with how much sex is shown on television and he decides to...

(Well, you have to watch it to find out what He decides to do. Chances are it'll probably involve Bob doing something he'll be more than pleased to do. And it's possible the Devil will decide to get involved, even if he's not invited. The big question is, will this episode top last week's fine installment? Based on the title, I honestly doubt it...)

STARRING:

The Usuals!

PLUS:

Jeff Doucette
Smeck

Chi McBride
Mike

Ken Campbell
Barry

Eddie Frierson
Guest Star

Kevin Dunn
Guest Star

Cam Clarke
TV Reporter

SPECIAL GUEST STAR:

Sarah Michelle Gellar
That Actress on That Show

Well, 10 down 3 to go.....Just don't have a whole lot to say anymore there was a few laughs. Donna griping at bob, bob stumbling around to accomplish gods mission and of course, smec and the Devil doing what ever the hell they do.

I thought the ending was funny when he stuck his home movie on the local tv station. My wife would never in a million years allow herself to be taped like that and I would have to be totally inebriated. I know how we do it why watch it on TV.....

The concert thing with the daughter just filler, but wholly hell why do you need filler in a 22 minute show?

Had no idea who the actress at the motel was supposed to be...I figured Tori Spelling.

All in all just running out the string 5 home movies on the gdb scale...

Random detail I loved:

- The germ party inside Donna's nose: HILARIOUS and unexpected!

Random details I liked:

- Wow, I have to admit Smeck looked pretty sexy holding a Dorito.

- The ritual by the TV altar scene was an eloquent criticism of television in the context of the show.

- Bob: “You made me and, frankly, you didn't do a very good job.”

- Megan: “I was nice (“smack”) to my stupid brother.”

- What do God and Emmett Brown have in common? White hair and a flying car for starters!

Random details I sort of liked:

- WOW! A state-of-the-art TV! What will they come up with next? Ultra thin 16:9 LED screens? Naaaaah! I imagine the work it took to carry that monster.

- Was the money used for the TV a surplus from all the money they made in the previous episode? If it was, congratulations for the continuity. But they didn't say anything, so I guess this is just a coincidence and I'm giving the writers too much credit.

- Hey, and I said Bob never watched TV... Just to prove me wrong. Or sort of, since God didn't let him watch much.

- The Devil has a problem with bossy women. First Martha Stewart, now “Buffy.”

- Bob's ridiculous Casper mask.

- Last episode, Bob had become the most hated person in Detroit. Now, with his sex tape out... How much lower can he get?

Random details I didn't like:

- Gosh a VIP reference! I really don't miss the 2000s.

- What else are they going to do to make me hate Donna even more? First, of course she nags and criticizes Bob. Next she only shows some sexual attraction towards Bob because she was manipulated by the Devil...

- ...who then manipulates her against having sex with Bob. Looks like the Devil hasn't given up resorting to his little dirty tricks.

- Poor Smeck, many unfunny lines for him this time, so bad I won't go through them.

- God showing up right when Bob is being seduced by “Buffy” defeats any purpose of free will. And he had done something just like that when Bob was in a similar situation with his hot neighbor.

- Andy pretty much hasn't had anything to do. And he was a character with such great potential, believing in his father and all. (I sort of liked his “first concert” note, though.)

- A corny ending to a pointless plot. The whole thing was just a big “meh.”

Grade

Definitely five white bare asses.

Man! This show doesn't mind dating itself. The girl wanting to go to the big Hole concert. With a lead singer's voice like that, their 15 minutes of fame couldn't have been up too soon. Then there's Bob's big 60" TV that looked like a CRT model.

This episode was definitely a step down from last week. It was like the whole show was a 20 minute setup for the one old gag (Pardon my pun.) at the end. Is it wrong that I still want to see that sex tape?

Who would have thought that both God and Satan would drive flying gas-guzzlers?

In the end? 6 TVs thrown out the window.

I'd've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids.

(I hear a cricket chirping...) Not much of a discussion motivated by this episode, uh?

I've been out of town for several days (including getting stranded at the airport in Cleveland...isn't there a show about that?) and will be checking in late on this one.

Yes, as a matter of fact there is. It's called Hot in Cleveland and its about three ladies stranded in Cleveland airport who decide to take over an old lady's house. Check tv.com for more details. Perhaps they can include you next season. Perhaps you can develop a good chemistry with Betty White.

Perhaps you can develop a good chemistry with Betty White.

Well, just for that:

(bleep)! and (bleep)!

Oh, boy, what goes on in people's minds never ceases to surprise me (besides Softball! and Travelers!) I was obviously referring to chemistry of actors sharing a scene, as defined by thefreedictionary.com:

Chemistry: 4. Mutual attraction or sympathy; rapport: The chemistry was good between the partners.

Any other interpretation is your doing, not mine. And honestly I don't know how that can warrant an avalanche of softball and travelers... (Yeah, and I also don't know how can you not sound sarcastic at a time like this when you obviously aren't but people will almost certainly think you are.)

[–] dtmuller 12 years ago

OK, really late on this one and playing catch-up. Just a couple of comments.

I liked this one a bit better than the past couple, but again, there's too much filler (the concert bit, "that actress from that show").

I did like the "FIRST CONCERT" prank, but it was an awfully long setup for just that.

A bit ironic, I think, that many fans of the show complain about religious people trying to get it taken off the air, and yet the show itself has an episode where God is trying to do just that sort of thing.

I liked that the example of "excessive sex" that they showed was a news program teaser: "We're shocked! Shocked! that this sort of thing is on the air! And we'll show you plenty more of it to prove just how shocking it is! Film at 11."

It was also a nice touch that they used Heidi as the attempted substitution. (Madp, there was a famous incident in 1968 where the network cut away to a scheduled broadcast of Heidi instead of showing the near-miracle come-from-behind ending of a crucial football game. Google "Heidi Game" if you want more details. Here, of course, we got something much more...umm...interesting instead of the intended Heidi feature.)

The Devil seems to be becoming more and more irrelevant to the show. They just don't seem to know what to do with him. Pity.

Indeed. A curious history-making moment of TV broadcast. why do I feel we're back commenting on Journeyman?

[–] charmedwon666 12 years ago

There just isn't too much to say. I kind of get irritated with everyone on this show except the little boy. Bob is right though, God did make him poorly. He does have the one redeeming quality of staying very faithful to his wife despite numerous attempts from the Devil to change that.

Late again but this one wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Nice party inside of Donna noise that did get a laugh out of me. Who would have thought the Devil had a strong hold in Hollywood. Smeck got to go see Mickey Mouse were all just having a grand time. Even when Bob makes a mistake it all works out. You should be happy DT that you were stuck at Hopkins for a while or you too could have been blinded by watching Bob and Donna on network TV. Glad when were done with this one.
