"Spike TV and www.TVGuide.com probably didn't have to engage a national polling organization to discover that men like to watch football and good-looking women on television.
That's kind of like finding that Golf Channel viewers admire 9 irons and HGTV watchers prefer green lawns.
But why make assumptions when you can commission a study? So Latitude Research quizzed 800 American men on what they really want - at least on TV - and sure enough, the winners were pigskin and babes.
For the full story, check this week's TV Guide, and if you suspect beer and chips might also be in this dream scenario, you're free to commission your own study to confirm or disprove.
We can be sure, in any case, that TVGuide.com and Spike TV don't think the football-and-women findings will startle us.
No, the real winner in this survey is Emily Procter.
Procter plays Detective Calleigh Duquesne in CBS' "CSI: Miami," and for some reason she's too often overlooked when the discussion turns to women who all by themselves constitute a reason to watch a TV show."
Perhaps its because the shows' creators have her portrayed as smiling once every other blue moon and knowing next to nothing about her supposed specialty...guns.
Not Emily's fault. Some police officer moonlighting as a 'technical adviser' tells the writers that Ruger revolvers are rare, and Emily's character says so. Sure, stop by any gun board and talk CSI and she's forever mentioned as the blond with the boobs, because while television doesn't know from squat about guns it knows everything there is to know about tits. They dress her showing more cleavage than she rightfully owns...praise the Lord for push-up-bra's...but slut-ability doesn't exactly qualify as thespian chops so of course she sometimes gets the short end of the stick.
And that hair. Whoever does that hair should win an Emmy a week.
No. I rarely watch CSI Miami and do not believe I've ever actually sat through an entire performance. But DO pause whenever she's making yet another goof about firearms.
