"Couch Potato" Theory?
Posted: Thu May 22, 2003 5:47 pm
Okay, I was watching AL on Kilborn last night, and I started seeing commercials that brought up lines from Poodle Hat, mostly from "Couch Potato", of course. Anyway, I noticed a lot of CBS shows mentioned in "Couch Potato". Here's a breakdown of TV Shows mentioned, and the network they first appeared on. In the case of the 3 show for "next season", I put them on the same network as the shows they're based on.

As you can see CBS and ABC have the most mentioned. I wonder if CBS is at the top because The Weird Al Show was on CBS, or maybe they just have funnier and easier-to-rhyme show titles. Of course, AL did make an appearance on the Craig Kilborn show on CBS last night. hmmm...
or maybe it's just a coincidence.
