Wheel of Torture's brother Bob

I came home from writers group tonight and found a version of that "America's Funniest Home Videos" show on.

For some reason, not unlike the Wheel, this show repulses me. Bob Sauget - great on that Olsen twin tv show years ago with John Stamos - annoying as heck as a tv show host. And then there's the canned laughter and pans of the audience cracking up - awful. Ok techniques back in the 70s for Candid Camera, downright antiquated and corny now.

My dad likes the home video shows. Last time I had my family over for dinner, as I was finishing up the preparations in the kitchen, he was fixated on Bob Sauget and the corny videos combined with audience participation to vote on the "best" video. Course this is the same man who shunned Seinfeld until it moved to the 10pm time slot to compete with the news! And, it's taken about 20 years to get him past the 70s attire, so I'll cut my dad some slack. But not Bob - he's dead to me.
