The Weekly Rewind: We Want Our Fun TV

Ben Kallen — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:35:00 GMT

The Olympics are coming to an end, and the new TV season hasn't started yet. What the heck can we do with all that extra free time? Maybe we should just sit back, relax, and spend it on the highlights of the week:

We learned that George and Izzie are TV's most annoying couple, but then we remembered Ross and Rachel.

We were alternately thrilled and disappointed by Michael Phelps, and Bigfoot.

We heard Hurley sing, and it was awesome.

We remembered the most terrible game shows of all time, and it kind of made us want to watch them again. But the most memorable moments in TV history? Eh, seen 'em.

We heard that Kelly Bundy's just fine, and that made us happy.

We saw what The Bachelor's ex Shayne Lamas is like at a party, and it's pretty much what we figured.

We discovered that many TV stars don't watch TV, because they're too busy sipping expensive champagne with fashion models.

We figured out how to get MTV's original stars cable-ready again.

We wondered why this statue of Fonzie looks so much like Christopher Walken.

We learned why Canadians think the beaver is a proud and noble animal.

We learned who might be on Dancing With the Stars this season, and hoped Kim Kardashian wouldn't have center-of-gravity issues.

We discovered that the Internet is nothing but a gathering place for Knight Rider and Baywatch fanatics. But then, we knew that already.

Band From TV, an actual rock group made up of performers from a bunch of TV shows, played a benefit for Netflix LIVE! last week. In addition to instrumentals by the likes of Heroes' Greg Grunberg and Adrian Pasdar, as well as House's Hugh Laurie (with extra vocals and emcee duties performed by Hayden Panetierre), lead vocals came from Lost's Jorge Garcia and Desperate Housewives' James Denton and Teri Hatcher. We've seen some shaky video of the event, and the verdict is: Garcia's really good (and actually looks kind of like the singer from The Commitments), Denton does an okay Elvis, and Hatcher shouldn't quit her day job.
