For any of you who watch shows on SpikeTV (I'm assuming the majority of Star Trek geeks here do), then you've probably seen commercials for Invasion Iowa, Shatners attempt at a reality TV show. I haven't watched the show, but I'm going to have Tivo record it tonight.

HOWEVER, they just had a commercial on the air for it, in which he puts the premise of the show in musical form. I am now walking around singing "Invasion IOWA Invasion IOWA...." over and over. Tis annoying.

I got the William Shatner Acting Award a few years ago from my fellow cast members in a show I was in. It was a proud moment of my career.

On second thought, I'm not so sure that was a good thing [Eek!]

I'm glad it's not just me that this is happening to, Nathan.

What do you think of the show? I've watched maybe two episodes of any reality TV show, but I'm fascinated by this one.

Bill Shatner hosting a reality series? I can't get behind that.

So the first episode is tonight? The premise of the show sounds interesting, but if I do watch it, it will only be because I'm a William Shatner fan.

I probably won't watch it, because I can't stand to watch people make fools out of themselves, but I'm still intrigued.

It's from the producers of Joe Schmo, who have a track record of actually being on the side of the people who aren't in on the joke... setting themselves apart from pretty much every other maker of reality TV out there. I'm a fan. (The head honcho's blog for the show is here.)

Watch this, and then tell me you're no longer a William Shatner fan.

YOu think it is annoying to be doing it? How about your poor wife having to listen to it? [Big Grin]

I'm assuming you guys have heard clips from Shatner's new CD?

http://www.shatnerhasbeen.com/

I haven't gathered up the will to pay full price for that CD yet, but I will eventually.

And Shathner still holds the all time best one syllable quote of all time:
