Day One. Ex-boxer mentors punk kids with hearts of gold, and learns almost as much from them as he teaches. Bleh! Strangely, the more I think about it, the more of this show I remember. Like when that one girl entered the poetry competition and sang a rap song. I'm sure this is taking up valuable space in my brain. But as bad as 'George' was, George is still a cool guy. And the grill is awesome! Try the recipe for Uppercut Burgers. Darn good eats.

Never saw this show, but I do have a George Foreman grill, and it kicks ass. It cooks everything perfectly and is a cinch to clean. I'd like to see that above poster say all that stuff to Georg Foremans face, actually, George seems like such a nice guy he would probably just laugh and buy the guy a hamburger.

It's a travesty to the human race that this piece of shit was ever considered even as a lark as sitcom material, let alone put on the air during prime-time, and on a legitimate network. Every time I saw this beached whale meander through a scene, with the comic delivery of a golden shower, I thanked the good Lord that I'm not overweight, so I wouldn't have to fork over one green dollar for a diet grill to an illiterate man-child so completely devoid of talent. What, they couldn't get Haystacks Calhoun? Every scene was the same: cast member would have a problem, George draws on his old-school country bumpkin fat ass to come up with a solution. By the way, this is totally ridiculous considering that every person on that show was so clearly more intelligent than Foreman, who may be the single most uneducated, untalented, uncharismatic man I have ever seen on television. And don't forget, I saw the Magic Hour. And on another point, did every joke have to involve Foreman's weight? Or his obsession with fatty foods that he can't live without but he admonishes no one else to have? Of course that makes sense: more left for him. "Dad, I'm having problems with my homework." "Eat a ham-buhh-guh." -[Insert canned laughter here]- I would have liked just once for one of those kids to turn to him and kick his mono-syllablic ass like Ali did. That would have been truly a great moment for mankind, another of which is when they pulled this stupid, sickening, vomitous load of shit off the air, the only thing more vapid and bloated than the star himself.

You have got to respect the shit out of George Foreman. The guy is laughing, and eating, all the way to the bank. And to think I was terrified of this man in 1974.
