Top 100 Most Outrageous Moments on NBC

 

Counting down the detritus culled from television’s collective dumpster, NBC’s June 1st episode of Top 100 Most Outrageous Moments (7:00 p.m. ET), has earned Worst TV Show of The Week.

 

Much of what this show deems “outrageous” are sexual innuendos unwittingly spoken by news anchors, game show contestants and others. The decision to re-air such fleeting slips of the tongue, couched in a top 100 countdown, speaks to networks willingness to air anything --even a woman on The Jerry Springer Show who misspells an angry slur as H-O-R-E. “Pussy in a can” is a brand of cat food, and  “a lovely big cock” is a toy rooster presented by naïve 1950’s TV presenters. The phrase “a nibble of Chris’ nuts” is in reality a cooking show host’s gaffe.

 

All that AND we get to watch a monkey pass gas in a man’s face -- several times!

 

The show culminates with the number one moment, thought by many to be mere urban legend: an episode of the 1970s program The Newlywed Game in which Bob Eubanks asked young married couples “the strangest place they ever made whoopee.” What one young woman says can’t be printed here, but apparently can be reshown on TV.

 

For its graphic sexual descriptions, Top 100 Most Outrageous Moments deserves the title Worst TV Show of The Week.
