A show on the Discovery Channel, hosted by Mike Rowe, that shows the ins and outs of dirty and tedious jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us. Each week Rowe does the job on location with a team of experts, and often utilizes sarcasm and humor to cover his frustration and disgust. And you can tell when Rowe hates what he's doing. One of the most disgusting jobs he did was being a sewer cleaner, making molds from sharks and artificially enseminating horses.
Dirty Jobs is disgusting, but very entertaining, and shows me the jobs to actually avoid in this life.

One of the greatest stories of an underdog ever. The main character, Rocky Balboa played by Sylvester Stallone, went from being a poor, inner-city Philadelphia club fighter to the world boxing champion, making him go from rags to riches in a short time. He meets his love, Adrian in a pet store and marries her in Rocky 2. They go on to have a son and name him Rocky Jr. In the last film, Rocky 5, he "adopts" a young kid and shows him the ropes of boxing, only to become the object of his jealousy and has to defend himself in a street fight, proving he is the greatest fighter of all time.

A sitcom airing on ABC from 1988 to 1995. The sitcom starred Bob Saget as Danny Tanner, a San Francisco widowed father of 3 who gets help raising his daughters from his brother-in-law Jessie (John Stamos) and best friend Joey (Dave Coulier). As the show progresses more characters are added who eventually live with the Tanners. John Stamos' character, Jessie Kotsopolous married Rebecca Donaldson in season 4 and they move into the attic. They had twin sons in the last 2 seasons. For some reason the central character Danny Tanner, never remarried when the show was cancelled.
Full House was one of those popular sitcoms that orginiated in the 1980s and tv has reached its lowest ebb since sitcoms from that era were cancelled.

A reality show on ABC that puts 25 desperate and lonely Bachelorettes in competition with each other over a lonely, desperate Bachelor they don’t even know in the hopes that he will propose at the end of the season. These women are subdued by his looks, success,his charm, and his money, and mistakingly believe they are in love with him when they don’t even know him from Adam. Each week the Bachelorettes are given some time to be alone with the Bachelor, sometimes to the point of having sex with him, in the hopes he will be more likely to choose them. One crazy woman even gave the Bachelor on the last season her underwear upon meeting him for the first time, proving her overhwhelming lonliness and desperation (he eliminated her right away). At the end of each episode, the Bachelor gives a rose to the girls he wants to continue to the next round. In the closing weeks of the season the Bachelor travels to the ladies’ hometown to see her family and takes a weekend trip with her (probably having sex with her). In the last epsiode the Bachelor is seen searching for a ring for the lady he has chosen, and in the final moments finally chooses between two Bachelorettes left as to which lady he wants to be with.

The way things are done in upper management in corporate America including their policies, procedures, values, beliefs, rules, and the way they treat and value their employees. It is almost an underworld where arrogance, overpay, and lack of concern for the “lower” employees is the norm. Often times, people in corporate America will sell their soul to the devil himself in their quest for power and money, and will do anything to climb the corporate ladder. Corporate America only cares about its own interests and has no concern for the “lesser” employees. It will make you think your job is secure and then lay you off without warning if it saves the company 10 cents. It will give you a pay cut, but then raise its own salary. Basically, it’s a world of liars, thieves, and hypocrites.
