    • That’s unlikely. MsMojo – your most patronizing and ridiculous channel – occasionally has interesting content, but it’s rarely worth watching because it has the worst narrator on any WM channel by far. That girl’s voice could wilt crops. And the lady you hired after her for a video or two somehow managed to be even worse, making her look lively by comparison (ohhh, I see what you did there!)
      Maybe someday if MsMojo videos aren’t all about Shondaland properties, Disney movies, Friends, and “who’s hot” it’ll be worth watching.
      FYI we’re not all as shallow, materialistic, and vapid as you seem to think we are, judging by the content posted there; women do watch more than soap operas, ANTM, and kid flicks, and we do more than obsess about Kardashians, Bachelors, and shows that have been off the air for +/- 10 years.
      The only good content on MsMojo is your coverage of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but other channels have that covered pretty well.

  3. Might be too soon to tell, but Kit Harington seems like he’s had a number of flops like Pompeii and Seventh Son… Looks like he’s only good for TV roles

  4. Lauren Graham comes to mind for me. Her movie career was ok at best but I hear she was great on Gilmore Girls.

  5. The fact that the hulu show Aaron Paul is starring in came on before this video is quite hilarious and great foreshadowing.

  6. The Big Bang Theory needs to DIE!! It’s stupid & NOT funny at all! Sheldon’s whiny ass needs to have his entire body (mouth especially!) duct taped, then set afloat on a rowboat, with no oars, into the Pacific Ocean!

  8. Bill Cosby deserves a mention.  During the run of the mega-hit sitcom “The Cosby Show,” Cosby starred in two ENORMOUS flops, “Leonard Part 6” and “Ghost Dad.”  These are two MAJOR stinkers.
