We're famous!

I don't think I ever blogged about it, but Joe may have. Back in January, we went to a taping of the Maury Show. We actually got to see the taping of two shows. One was a paternity test show (you are NOT the father), and the other show was about cheating spouses/significant others (with lie detector tests!). We never bothered to call the Maury people to find out the air dates of the shows, because watching it once was more than enough.

Tonight we were watching t.v., and somehow started looking on the interwebs to see whether we could find the shows anywhere online. I was about ready to give up when I found this clip:

Pause the video at about 2:52, and admire the blue sweater and red sweater. That's us! And no, you can't see our faces. What this video also doesn't show, is that sitting right by our feet was one of the producers. She furiously wrote cue cards for the "guests" on the show, telling them when to be more confrontational, and reminding them to stick to the script. Yes, there is a script. We saw it.

Have you seen this show?

I don't have cable television, so I don't get to watch a lot of the new t.v. shows coming out these days, or see the previews for them. Most of my t.v. watching is done on the internet, so I'm often blissfully unaware of the new programs coming out. You can imagine my surprise when I was riding the Metro North train with Joe last weekend and saw a poster for this:
At first I thought it was a joke, because it reminded me of the episode of 30 Rock where there's a Survivor-esque reality show called "MILF Island." Then I realized The Cougar is going to be a real show. And now I'm thinking that I should get a job where all I have to do is come up with absurd television show ideas, because certainly I could come up with something better than The Cougar, right?

Speaking of 30 Rock, every time I hear a commercial for the show "Cold Case," all I hear is "Gold Case."
