10 Favorite TV Shows

It's time for another blog post which fits into the category of "Who Cares?"
But, let's face it, while I could certainly write about politics, which is something I do care about a great deal, I immediately alienate half of the world. And since I'm just trying to average 14 readers per post (which is a 10% increase in readership) I have to do whatever I can to not scare away people.
Still, though, the top ten TV shows that I like to watch will cause controversy and debate. But it's far less likely that someone won't hire me to do a hypnosis show just because I like to watch these shows as opposed to saying whether or not I like Obama.

10- Game of Thrones - HBO
I have always been a fan of these types of medieval-looking, fantasy stories. I wish there were more than 10 shows in a season, though. There are so many story lines that I don't think get developed enough.

9- Impractical Jokers - TruTV
Q, Murr, Joe and Sal are life-long friends who prank each in other public in a hidden camera show. Easily the funniest hidden-camera show created and the formula for this particular show has been stolen and put on another network.

8- The Bachelor - ABC
 Yes, as those who read this blog know, I am a big fan of this show. It's not for any romantic reason at all. This is one of the funniest reality shows out there. People actually think that they can find the love of their lives on a TV show because that's the last place they can think of to do it. I also happen to be a savant at picking who will be the final four after watching just the first episode. This is my fifth year watching and I am 18 for 20 and have picked three winners correctly, one was in second, and tomorrow we will find out if Whitney will become my 4th winner or 2nd second-place selection.

7- America's Got Talent - NBC
 I appreciate this because I am an entertainer. I love to see people who have worked hard and are extremely talented but just haven't been seen by the right people, or whatever has happened to keep them from greater success, finally earn the accolades they they desire.

6- Banshee - Cinemax
 I stumbled across this one of late. Its got a lot of violence and sex in it so it has me hooked. Just finishing its 3rd season.

Although not on TV, one of the funniest shows out there is the Marshal Manlove Comedy Hypnosis Show of course. Press the link to see highlights.  ;)

5- Homeland - Showtime
 Claire Danes is the lead here and they have just finished their 4th season, I believe...or third. It's basically a show about terrorism with Danes as a CIA agent.

4- The Following - Fox
 This has Kevin Bacon in it, so its awesome. He is ab FBI agent tracking serial killers. I had to chance to see him perform with his brother at the NY State Fair when I was doing my own show up there in his band The Bacon Brothers.

3- Big Brother - CBS
 When it originally came out I could have cared less. But after accidentally catching some of it one season I found myself hooked to the point where I sent an audition tape in one season. I'm too old and nasty for consideration but I'm still a big fan of the strategy involved and the engineering and production of the show.

2- Survivor - CBS
 Now in its 30th season, a remarkable television feat. It is still the all-time best reality game show out there even you can debate the reality aspects of it. (Cops is an actual reality show.) I have auditioned and sent in tapes a few times for this show because I am such a fan. I don't do it every season though because, quite frankly, I don't really like the sun and bugs that much, and I like food way too much.

1- The Big Bang Theory - CBS
  One of the top-five all-time sit coms of all time. I will watch reruns of this show every single day. Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon Cooper, is a comic genius in every sense  of the word who stole this show. I might even be so bold as to say this is the BEST sit coms of all time over Cheers and Seinfeld. (My #2 and #3.)

What is your current top-ten list of shows you like, if you watch TV? Which sit coms do you think are the top 5 of all time?

I know that I go back and forth about which way this should all go...important stuff or just pop-culture stuff. It just is what it is and helps me like a journal does for some people.

10 Funny Hypnosis Scenes

I am often asked about the funniest, or craziest, things I have seen happen in my comedy hypnosis show. Here are ten off the top of my head.

1- I have an old ALF stuffed animal which is sometimes part of the show. Often it is used as a “baby” which was just birthed by a man. Here is one guy breast feeding ALF, his newborn son.

2- At a home party the two sons of my host were helping set up chairs. They told me that at where the end of one side of the row was placed their dog had peed earlier that day. They were later hypnotized and sitting at that part of the row sandwiched around one of their friends. The kids were all turned into different animals with the two son’s friend made to believe he was a dog. He opened his eyes, got down on all fours, and the two sons both looked down at him now believing he was a dog and one of the boys pushed his friends face right into the spot where their own dog had peed just as if their friend had actually done it.

3- Eliciting bad smells always creates a lot of laughter. What people say to others who they believe smell read funky is just as funny as the faces people make. In one high school show a boy looked at the boy sitting next to him, made a funny face, gagged, then laid down on the floor and shouted out, “Oh my God, why don’t you just shit on my face!?”

4- This…

5-  This guy came up to me before the show and told me he could never be hypnotized. That is a chair that he believes is stuck to his ass.

6- Rendering people unable to speak anything but nonsense is a common skit. But they have to return to their normal way of speaking so I usually have someone shout out something in English so, “I know I haven’t broken” them. One petite and soft spoken college girl was asked to say something in English and she demurely stated, “I like…to play…with…balls.” It took 3 minutes before the crowd stopped crying from laughing at that one. 

7- “The ground turns into a magnet, a giant flesh magnet.” This always creates funny. This girl’s face is stuck to the floor.

8- Adult shows are my favorite but I can rarely take pictures or video. A classic skit is one where people think of the most incredible physical feeling they have ever had, like, you know…a warm bubble bath, the sun on your face on the beach, a cuddly puppy, things like that. Then whenever I touch my ear they experience that feeling. 95% of the time they opt for a different feeling than any that I mention and you may have an idea about where they go in their minds. I intensify it 3 times with the third time being the “climax” of the show. In one particular show a rather larger guy was getting so into it that on the third and final intensification the folding chair exploded into four pieces underneath his ass. It didn’t stop the good time that was being had and it even continued after I stopped touching my ear.
