TiVo and weddings

When I set my ReplayTV to look for "wedding," it finds loads of Style and TLC shows about weddings. It also finds episodes of:

The Gilmore Girls. "All of Stars Hollow turns out for Liz's Renaissance-themed wedding."

The Golden Girls.

Happy Days. "An Army rule may halt Richie and Lori Beth's wedding." Clearly long after Fonzie jumped the shark.

The Golden Girls. A different episode, believe it or not.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. "Will and Lisa elope."

Divorce Court. "A couple who met for the first time on their wedding day seek a divorce." No shit???

The Golden Girls. A THIRD episode. I'd think funerals would come up more often for Bea, Rue, Betty, and Estelle.

Beverly Hills, 90210. "Donna and David plan there [sic] wedding." Oh, ReplayTV people...how about a proofreader?

Spider-Man. Yes, the cartoon. "Spider-Man's rivals crash Peter and MJ's wedding."

Suddenly, Susan. "Susan flees before completing her wedding ceremony."

Saved by the Bell. Jessie's father's wedding. Wasn't Jessie Elizabeth Berkley? And whatever happened to Mario Lopez? And is there even another nominee for worst TV show in history? But that's another blog for another time and place...

The Nanny. "Maxwell's sister is engaged to a duke but loves her chauffeur."

Clifford the Big Red Dog. Mr. Carrington gets married.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. A second episode. "Will's mother forbids him to attend his aunt's interracial wedding." Of all the episodes thus far, the only one I think I could stomach watching. But I won't.

Dharma & Greg. "Dharma and Greg park cars as a wedding gift." Could be funny. I'd watch it if I were on a plane and the headphones were free.

Will & Grace. "Grace reveals her ex-boyfriend's faults at his wedding rehearsal."

MXC "Wedding Industry vs. Trucking Industry." On Spike TV. Hmmm. Might be worth a look.

Martin. "Martin gives away an annoying wedding gift that may be priceless." Yick. This show might challenge Saved by the Bell, actually.

Total: 82 hits for "wedding." Holy moly, are we obsessed with this event in our culture, or what? I mean, the percentage of time spent getting married on TV is much greater than the percentage of time spent getting married in real life.

Total shows I'll tape: 2. The Simpsons (Homer helps Principal Skinner win back his fiancee) and one episode of A Wedding Story.
