Lately, the non-traditional award shows have been kicking @$$, in terms of entertaining viewers. First, TVLand had an awesome tribute to Sid and Marty Krofft with a musical number featuring the various characters and theme songs from their TV shows. And more recently, Spike TV had their Guys Choice Awards ceremony. Fantastic categories, with plenty of profanity. Of course, I was pretty impressed with the Fight Club montage. Spike didn't shy away from showing the more graphic clips; they just blurred and black-barred nips and male junk and bleeped out the profanity. Would the Oscars dare to do that? Not likely. When David Fincher get his recognition from the Academy, it's not likely that Marla's dildo will make an appearance.
But the best part of the whole show was the set. A huge raging fire in the background and a gigantic bear's head at the base of the presenters/recipients stage area.
As networks go, Spike TV is a pretty fun one. While I don't care for the Ultimate Fighting and CSI, their other offerings like 1000 Ways To Die and World's Deadliest Warrior are pretty fascinating and at times, cringe-inducing. And there's an attempt to throw science and even history into these programs, which is appealing to me, since I'm a Forensic Files fanatic.
Good job, Spike TV - much more appealing that watching Lifetime.
