I searched really hard; have we really not had a thread on this TV show? It's seriously the finest thing civilization has produced since Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. I just want to make sure that no one wrote this off too early.

Trouble in paradise, teeny? ;-)

also: lots of hilarity at teenyhaus since I'm newly engaged, of course.

haha xpost.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I only started watching it last week, and last night I was wondering "is there a thread on this?"

it is awesome! her family is hilarious!!! his too, but they're not real.

The episode last night encores this Thursday, seriously, this is the show that keeps on giving.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I love Steve. His laugh is great. And when he dances, high comedy.

― Chris V (Chris V), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I like his dad a lot.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

The best part last night was when the bride's parents were whispering in scandalized tones that the groom's family wants rice krispie treats at the reception!!! horror!! I turned over and said to mr teeny "oh my god! I was just thinking that we really need to have rice krispie treats at our reception! like not just rice krispie treats but like the largest rice krispie treat ever, like world record sized! we will show our love for our friends and family by the size of our rice krispie treat! like the emperors of yore!"

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I might have been a little incredibly high.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

my friend had a ice cream sunday bar for his wedding rather than a cake.

― Chris V (Chris V), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

that's pretty good but seriously, how impressed would you be if you were suddenly confronted with a 10-foot square rice krispie treat?

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm much more excited about getting married now.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, back to the show, actually I think it's all fake, like everyone's actors, because it's too funny. It's all too perfect, every awful thing that could possibly happen does happen.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Why would a family be filmed if the reality show is 'over'?

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

You should have the whole ceremony INSIDE a giant rice crispie treat!

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

teeny, that would be the best wedding reception ever! You could make that rice crispie/other cereal treat cake that Martha Stewart made.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

If you went for a world record, you could probably get Kellogg's to sponsor your wedding!!!

A friend of my sister's tried to sell sponsorships for his wedding. It didn't work so well, but it was funny.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't watched it, but I've wondered what her family thinks is actually going on with all the cameras and the obnoxious guy. It just doesn't seem plausible that they would buy into the fact that they're on a reality show where these things are happening and not realize that a joke is being played on them.

― BrianB (BrianB), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

That's what I was trying to say.

How can they think it's real if they are being filmed

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"like the emperors of yore" ha ha

This show is the shit, btw. "Steve" and his "family" look like they're having the best of times.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

He has an annoying laugh

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm much more excited about getting married now.

No more eloping? Step by step it begins and then you turn into a Stepford Wife (KIDDING!).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course this show's fake. Just as fake as Joe Shmoe was but it's still pretty funny though, sometimes. I think I like Steve's sister the best.

― maypang (maypang), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

The floating-face-down-in-the-hot-tub bit was ace.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

She tells everyone about death.

She's wonderful

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

The laugh is not annoying its boisterous and wonderful.

― Chris V (Chris V), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok. Whatever.

The mom is weird

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

thats like the pot calling the kettle black.

― Chris V (Chris V), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Racist!

Oh no wait, I'm thinking of the Apprentice. Did anybody else see that bit a few weeks back?

― BrianB (BrianB), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

One lady called another lady racist in response to being told she was the pot calling the kettle black.

― BrianB (BrianB), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

oh dude I'm just eloping to get married, I still plan to throw a party for everyone after.

Oh and also the family supposedly has been told that the reality show has already happened; this is just some footage for a follow-up special.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

just saw the end of last night's; the mom is giving this speech to the rest of the family, telling her to support her daughter and the most INCREDIBLY DRAMATIC music was playing over this grainy hidden-camera stuff, it was so awesome.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

The mom's like SO the old school model of unseen seat of power in the family. Like in the group scenes, she's all smiley and quiet and lets the husband be "in charge" but in the hidden camera and even the "monologual" parts she's quite smart and forceful.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

the most INCREDIBLY DRAMATIC music was playing over this grainy hidden-camera stuff, it was so awesome.

TOTALLY, mr teeny was all what the fucking carminaburanafuck valkrie-shit???*

*actual quote

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember that music! I was in the kitchen working on the tomatillo salsa for tonight's fish taco extravaganza and it came on and I yelled at my roomy "holy shit, did someone just DIE!?!".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

it really kept going for a long time, too

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to go home and watch this again on the tivo, I think I missed like 10 minutes of it because I couldn't stop going on about the rice krispie treats. Mr teeny had to take me by the shoulders and shake me a little and say, "honey, notice I'm not arguing with you, don't worry, we'll have the rice krispie treats."

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Mmmmm, fish tacos.

I am saddened that I will probably never see this unless it comes out on dvd.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

the season finale is tonight!!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 February 2004 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

and tomorrow night in Canada! Unless you're one of the 8 in 10 households who have cable!

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Monday, 23 February 2004 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

phew, I saw the title of this thread and thought "oh god, what have I done"

― chris (chris), Monday, 23 February 2004 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

okay that was kind of disappointing although I liked how mr obnoxious basically kissed the family's ass at the end and got away with it all.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this a Calum thread?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

exposed! mr teeny is in fact c*l*m! I love it when he praises me for not being a 'fat bird.'

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

One lady called another lady racist in response to being told she was the pot calling the kettle black.

The exact quote was "That's calling the kettle black!" Omarosa was ridiculing the other woman, not accusing her of being racist.
