There’s a new show on The Travel Channel, called America’s Worst Driver. It’s a competition to find the worst driver in America. Every week, the show will be traveling to different cities, where locals nominate the worst driver, and they battle it out every week, hoping to get eliminated first.

At the end of the season, the “winners” go to LA, where they compete once again to find the worst driver in America.

The show premieres on March 14, Sunday, 10p E/P, in San Francisco, CA.

Meet the Drivers

Deborah and Becca are the mother/daughter team. Becca, the daughter, thinks she’s the better driver. First of all, she doesn’t space out when she drives. She doesn’t mistake the accelerator for the brakes and drive through the garage door. But Deborah has done all of these, and Becca is convinced she’s the worst driver in America.

Matt and Eli are best friends, and Eli is scared…

There is something I just don’t get.  We’re all TV lovers here.  Maybe you like CSI and I like House, but we all share an appreciation for the small screen.  If we didn’t we wouldn’t be here at Couch Tuber, celebrating our Couch Tuber-ness.

If you love TV, you probably love the movies, too.  I mean, nobody watches the network shows but turns away in horror when TBS runs their movie o’ the month for the 13th time.  Movies and TV, they go together.  They’re made for each other (quite literally in some cases).

So, Oscar Night on TV makes sense.  I don’t care about the rich, pampered Hollywood elitists patting themselves on the back, but I can see why some people do.  Just like I may not see the appeal of 30 Rock, but I never miss…

A few important facts to know:

1. I am a faithful fan of The Office.  I have been watching since the beginning.

2. I loved watching “Niagara”, Jim & Pam’s wedding episode.  It was so well done that it had me crying, both from laughing so hard and being so moved by the poignancy.

3. Birth scenes usually bring me to tears.  Being a mom, it reminds me of that amazing moments when I met my children.

Having shared those facts, I have to state that I didn’t like last night’s back-to-back episodes, “The Delivery 1 & 2″.  Sure, there were a few good moments:  Pam’s fear of not being able to “do this”.  It is a real feeling that many women experience.  Dwight throwing numerous weapons out of his car window as he was being pulled over by a police officer.  Nothing like Dwight to remind us how crazy he is!  Kevin’s excitement…

There are only so many good story ideas that can come out of one concept. That’s why a show as clever and funny as the Drew Carey Show was in the early seasons can become a show as unwatchable and vapid as the Drew Carey Show in later years. This limitation on entertainment is so universal that it has a name: Jumping the Shark.

Waaaay back when, one of the top shows on TV was Happy Days. As silly and dated as it seems now, it was very popular at the time. Happy Days was a mixture of nostalgia and humor. It made us laugh, and it felt familiar and comfortable. As the seasons rolled on, the characters developed and grew. Due to the intense popularity of Henry Winkler’s character, Fonzie went from…

ABC already has signed ten new pilots to premiere in the Fall 2010 TV season. Which ones look promising? And which ones look doubtful?

Mr. Sunshine

Starring Matthew Perry, it’s the story of a second-rate sports arena manager who thinks only of himself and is forced to reevaluate his life on his 40th birthday. This is his first TV series since Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip (The End Of Steve was never picked up). It’ll be fun to watch him on the small screen again. He was always my favorite in Friends, and I’ve always tried to keep up with his career after the show ended. Alex Barnow and Mark Firek co-wrote the series with Matthew Perry. Allison Janney and Andrea Anders will co-star with Perry on the show.

Freshmen

Freshmen is an ensemble show about three first-year members of Congress. Greg Malins (of How I Met Your Mother) will be writing it….
