Friday TV Fun
Today's word game, for lack of time, will revolve around the Boob Tube.
Starting with the name of a famous television show, alter it slightly and give it a new (and hopefully humorous) description. Here are some past winners of a similar contest run elsewhere to get you started:
Onanza: Tales of a ranch with a lot of men and no women.
My So-Called Lift: Dissatisfied patients confront their plastic surgeons.
Mayorbarry, BFD: Despite repeated cancellations, the show keeps getting renewed.
Antique Road Ho: A poignant drama about a broken-down hooker still working the street.
Here's a list of titles. Have fun!

Irkutsk, C.S.I - Where each episode features the unlovely C.S.I. team of Sergei, Ivan, and Svetlana using 1920s forensic technology to solve crimes in the Siberian tundra. Most episodes consist of thawing out Yevgeny, the town drunk, who falls into the Omsk River after too much vodka and freezes into a block of ice. Sometimes they also thaw out a wooly mammoth frozen in the ice. Expect many exciting spinoff series into Magnitogorsk, Sverdlovsk, and the ever-popular Ufa.
