Lisa Marie’s Week In Television — 8/27/23 — 9/2/23


Big Brother 25 (24/7, Paramount+ and CBS)

I wrote about Big Brother here!

CHiPs (Weekday Mornings, GET TV)

I watched two episodes of this very 70s cop show on Friday morning.  Both episodes featured car crashes and California living.  I liked the opening, bass-heavy theme music.

Claim to Fame (Monday Night, ABC)

Nick Cannon’s brother, Gabriel, ended up winning the show.  (It’s kind of weird how everyone just shrugged off Nick Cannon making all of those anti-Semitic comments on that podcast.)  This was an amusing reality show, even if all of my favorites were eliminated early on.

Dr. Phil (YouTube)

On Sunday, I watched a two-part episode in which Dr. Phil talked to a mother who had a YouTube channel dedicated to exploiting her autistic child.  The mother was convinced her child was schizophrenic as well as autistic and kept talking over both Dr. Phil and all other medical experts on the show.  She had a very annoying habit of nodding and saying, “Yes, I agree,” whenever anyone would disagree with her.  Seriously, she was the most annoying person that I’ve ever seen on a talk show.  I then watched another episode featuring a middle-aged woman who was into S&M and who had recently invited sex offender to come live with her and her 9 year-old daughter.  Yikes!

On Wednesday morning, I watched an episode in which Dr. Phil talked to a handsome young drug addict who claimed that he had written all of Taylor Swift’s songs.  Then, later that night, I watched an episode about fighting sisters.  To be honest, I’m not sure that Phil really helped any of them.

Geraldo (YouTube)

On Sunday, I watched an episode of this 90s talk show in which Geraldo Rivera talked to New York club kids.  Michael Alig looked like he couldn’t wait to murder someone.

Jane Pratt (YouTube)

This was a talk show from the 90s.  On Tuesday, I watched an episode called “Raves and Ecstasy.”  I immediately recognize the host as one of the victims from The Boogeyman.

Jenny Jones (YouTube)

Jenny Jones talked to people who called off their weddings due to stuff that happened at Bachelor and Bachelorette parties.  Jenny got extremely flustered while talking about the strippers.

The Love Boat (Paramount Plus)

I wrote about The Love Boat here!

Sally Jessy Raphael (YouTube)

On Thursday morning, I watched an episode featuring “out of control teens” who were sent to boot camp.  The audience loved watching the teens suffers at boot camp but I suspect it probably didn’t do much good as far as the teens were concerned.  Later, during the afternoon, I watched an episode featuring out-of-control teens.  Two terrifying people from the Tough Love Organization, showed up and ordered all of the parents to divorce their children.

South Central (YouTube)

I wrote about South Central here!

Stars on Mars (Monday Night, Fox)

On the finale of Stars on Mars, Adam Rippon emerged as the winner so I guess he is the new Warlord of Mars now.

Steve Wilkos Show (YouTube)

I watched two episodes on Thursday night.  Steve kicked abusers off of his stage.  GO, STEVE!

T. and T.  (Tubi)

I wrote about T. and T. here!

Welcome Back Kotter (Tubi)

  1. My Bestie and I got together last Wednesday (bellinis and homemade frittata for lunch) and we started talking about shows we watched growing up. CHiPs was one we missed!
