Anyone else think "Who Wants to be a Superhero" is an incredibly STUPID show?
Stan Lee is a great guy, but the show just drives me freaking insane. Most 'reality' shows do, anyway, though I think Project Runway and Top Chef are really pretty well done.

But - I was waiting for the rerun of Eureka last night b/c I missed it at 9pm, and the damn Superhero show ran over about 10 minutes and as I watched, waiting for Eureka, I could hardly believe how bad it is.

Is it just me?

1. My husband and I watch it because it is so awful
and cringe-inducing. I can't believe that anyone can be that needy for attention that they would have to dream up being a superhero. The one that I simply can't abide is Hygenia. Of course, talk about making the best of being a neat freak.

7. That's why I watch it . .
Campy, bad, hokey. . yet for some reason I keep tuning in . . . .

Then again maybe I'm just "anticipating" GIANT EVIL STAN LEE!!!!

2. Watched it once
won't ever go back. I can't believe the SciFi channel keeps that dreck alive and shelves The Dresden Files.

3. Have not watched it
Do they actually get super powers? Exposed to gamma rays? Something?

5. My kids like it.
Sort of. If they watch it, I will to.

But yeah, it's... weird. Then again, most TV is crap, so... par for the course?

10. I don't know if you can really call a show about people pretending to be superheroes
a 'reality' show. :) Seems pretty far removed from reality.

8. I haven't seen this season, but I watched all of last season in one day...
during a marathon some months ago. I drank about half a bottle of whiskey while doing so. And I laughed, and laughed, and laughed, and...

11. I've seen bits and pieces... but I can't sit down and watch the whole thing.
It can be amusing occasionally, but not enough so that I'm willing to actually y'know, WATCH it. :)
