So.

As some of you know, I am now in college and am now living with a room mate. I brought my TV from home and we get cable with our room and board. Its just basic so we get most channels that I would usually watch.

BUT.

All she watches is E! every time she is watching TV its E! news or some other show about celebrities. Is it just me or should this channel DIE? I mean do we really need to waste hours upon hours debating he said she said, who is flashing their privates and what the celebs are wearing?

I simply do not get it, I do not understand this infatuation with celebrity and how people can become so sucked into it. Its quite stressful.

As you can tell I HATE E! and I dont hate many things, but GEEZUS...I cannot take it anymore.

Does anyone else dislike this channel? Please tell me that I am not the only sane person on this planet!!

You are definatly sane and I agree with you on the fact that I don't understand why people totally get into the lives of celebrites. I don't really care about the channel one way or the other because I never really care too much about what celebrities are doing.

Snap, your 5"11 or something right?

Just crush her. ;)

The hosts on E are so cheesy. I just don't care what Johnny Depp's new hairstyle is or the TRUE reason Bradd Pitt and Jennifer Anniston broke up ( it always leads back to that ;) ). I just don't care about what celebrities are doing.

No your not the only person who doesn't like it, I think E should be banned all over the world and the producers should be locked in a cage and dumped on a remote Island in the Pacific ocean.

:D

Ahhhh, you are so lucky. My wife never let's me watch E. Tonight, they are doing an E True Hollywood special on the View, but I think I am going to miss it! :(

DId you not say it is your T.V.? Figure something else that is on around times you are there and say I have a show/ program that I want to see!! Make yourself a schedule so maybe you can possibly cut it down or even eliminate it!!! Remember this is your t.v.:tsk:

Sneakers- I must admit I love the Soup. But thats about it. They could move that show to a different channel then completely rid the world of E! as Wookiee suggested...and Wook, I'm only 5'9 and 3/4" haha.

I dunno, it just something we have to learn to compromise over I guess...but generally the E! watching comes during Rockies/Broncos games. LOL

I am so thrilled that I am not the only one who hates this channel and doesnt get the point!!

PS -- TNed I am SOOO sorry you missed the show! There was also an in-depth look at Britney's downfall on last night!

Ummm . . . actually, it is Tned's wife's extreme patience that enabled him to
launch this message board at all. So that might sound "mean," but I think she
just would like a husband around once in a while. :laugh:

That's one of the most important things about college and one of the important lessons learned in dorms.

You become exposed to alternative lifestyles other than your own and though it may be strange and you may not approve or like of it, that's how the person is.

I, myself, don't care for E! and never will care for it. Not my thing ... I'd much rather watch NFL Network or History International all day.

The history international channel is awesome. I can only stand so much of Ice Road Truckers on the regular history channel.

Aren't tabloids and gossip magazines the #1 selling reading material...?

People aren't happy unless they have the scoop on everybody's life...

What's funny is they forget to concentrate on their own...:laugh:


I can't say much though, it's Sportscenter central whenever I'm watching TV......that or NFLN...

The only channels I could watch 24/7 is Animal Planet, NFL Network, or ESPN.

I know Animal Planet seems weird but that channel is the shiz. :D

It's not you Snap, E! is horrible. I lived with roomates for many years, it's tough. I understand your situation completely.

Ask her nicely to watch when you're gone, and E! definately loses priority over Rockies and Bronco games, even during commercials.

I'm living in a small community here in Mexico, and everybody knows and talks about everybody elses business. Small town, big hell.



Your roomate needs a boyfriend, I don't know any guys who watch that crap.

I to hate E! or anything to do with invading someones personel life, no matter how famous they are. I have to much going on in my own life to worry about what some random person I'll never meet is doing.

Talk to your roomie and make it clear the TV needs to be changed, but in a nice way, your stuck with her for the moment :( . Good luck to ya Snap.

No one will agree that "The Soup" is on E! hilarious. And if the channel should exist for one reason only, it would be that.

Same here! I have a poster of it in my room.....:cool:


And so you know I said to her "E! is ok sometimes, but 24/7 is a lot." She said "OH MY GOD KATIE, WHAT THE HELL ALL YOU WATCH IS SPORTS AND I HATE IT!!"

I then gave her this look: :shocked:

Duh. Its my f-ing tv...AND she asked me to room with her, she knew good and well what she was getting herself into! :rolleyes:


About the roomie needing a boyfriend....I NEED ONE TOO! :laugh:

I lost track of this thread for a few days, so let me just set the record straight:

She is MEAN. We are talking wildcat mean. Bear caught in a trap mean. Pupy dog licking your face mean...

Errr, ok, not really. :D

Nahhh, she puts up with a lot of my stuff, so control of the living room TV isn't too much to deal with ;)

I can relate, Snap.

Television, beside sports, is for the...err...meerkats.

I was at the car dealership yesterday for four hours in the waiting area. They had wi-fi and cable. The cable was on the food porn channel the whole time. That's what I call it now, because after a while, I couldn't help but yearn for the tasty grub they were flaunting on the screen. Devil's work, I tell ye. Fortunately, the presence of wi-fi and my trusty laptop prevented me from attempting to make quiche lorraine on a running engine in the showroom using artificial coffee creamer and Volvo trinkets.

The whole E! -life is the 180 of my life. I am completely out of phase with those interests. Maybe I should cultivate my celebdom side.

I am a sucker for those mexican/hispanic soap operas though. ;)

Hey, I said a Volv-O quiche. What's a quiche, anyway? I know that eggs are involved, and they are hella tasty.

so does cooking disqualify me from potential GPA approval? That's a crock.

No! The fact that you can cook just ups your quota!
