What is happening on my television?

Posted on by

Um…last night I was flipping channels on the box, and I saw this “Coming Up Next” promo on TLC:

When Surgical Tools Get Left Behind.

My first thought was “That’s ridiculous.” But then I thought, “But it might be neat to watch.” Like slowing down to check out a car crash – you don’t really WANT to look, but you kind of have to.

So what do YOU think? Would you watch this? Have you? What’s the attraction?

  1. I have been sucked into those shows– “I’m My Own Twin” and “She was pregnant for 25 years” and “Born Without A Face.” I think they’re sometimes interesting.
    What I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE is that you can’t flip through the channels– just looking for something cheerful– or looking for some movie news to watch while you eat your cheerios– without risking a close-up shot of someone’s wide open abdomen.
    They should put that channel way at the end– out of the range of regular channels. Our blood & guts channel is right next to HGTV and the Food Network. Also– I wish they would keep the gore out of the cop show previews. I don’t want to see a rotting corpse (LAST NIGHT) while I’m watching “Beauty & The Geek.” I’m shallow like that.
    Hehehe sorry for the rant. Do you think you hit a nerve?! Let me slice open my thigh and show you which one 🙂

    • I’m the same way! I cant’ stand flipping around and having somebody’s nasty liposuction thrown in my face! I mean, YUCK!
      Or, having young kids, when you’re watching a show they can watch but a PREVIEW for something gross, or with rotting corpses or whatever, comes on and they see it! Grrr….

  2. The guy that used to live next to me and Dave (Bless his soul…) had an instru ment left in his chest after open heart surgery. They didn’t know about it (VA hospitals….) until he went in for a checkup, they did an X-ray of his chest and *poof!* this instrument is there. It caused him a lot of problems, and eventually he wound up having both his legs amputated because of it. He never did sue, which I found….strange. You bet your biscuits I’d be on the phone to my lawyer if someone ever left something in me.
    He was a happy old drunk though. Much better then our current neighbors….
