If you like some twisted humor let me suggest that you watch Raising Hope on the Fox network. Its in reruns now but I think its easy enough to catch up on episodes rather quickly through an On-Demand system with your cable TV provider.
Here is the treatment of the show according to its FB page…
RAISING HOPE is a new single-camera family comedy from Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia that follows the Chance family as they find themselves adding an unexpected new member into their household.
At 23 years old, JIMMY CHANCE (Lucas Neff) is going nowhere in life. He skims pools for a living, parties every night and still lives at home with his family, including his MAW MAW (Cloris Leachman); his mother, VIRGINIA (Martha Plimpton) and his father, BURT (Garret Dillahunt).
Jimmy’s life takes a drastic turn when a chance romantic encounter with LUCY (guest star Bijou Phillips) goes awry once he discovers she is a wanted felon. Months later, when Jimmy pays a visit to the local prison, he learns Lucy is pregnant with their baby, and after she gives birth, he is charged with raising their daughter.
Back at home, Jimmy’s family is less than enthusiastic about a new addition to the household. His parents, who had him when they were 15, never knew anything about raising a child and have no interest in trying again. Jimmy may be able to get some help from SABRINA (Shannon Woodward), a sardonic checkout clerk he met at the supermarket if only he can work up the nerve to ask her out. Despite it all, Jimmy is determined to take care of his baby – whomVirginia
With very few useful skills but their hearts in the right place, will the Chance family be successful when they step into the unpredictable and immensely challenging world of parenting?
Cloris Leachman steals this show as the rarely-lucid grandmother. For me, it’s laugh-out-loud funny.

Back to TV. America
This is the show that last year introduced millions of people to Jackie Evancho, the 10 or 11 year old singer that blew away the world with her voice, only to come in second to some other dude whose name no one can recall (Michael Grimm.)
I thought at the time that the other dude got the win because everyone knew that Jackie was going to succeed regardless of whether she won that show or not. That was sort of fair to me in one sense even though we could probably count on one hand the number of people in this country more naturally talented than Evancho.

New “Dungeon of Manlove” shows are now posted at http://www.marshcast.com/. They are still not for the sensitive. I really have tried to calm it down a little bit so that there is more of a general appeal so we could bring in many more listeners. But it’s not happening. That’s fine; we have other types of shows in the planning stages now that will do that trick down the road. For now, the Dungeon will just remain what it was intended to be…dirty.
Living my own dream…lol
Done.
