I don't care that the sports gods at ESPN choose to show professional bowling on Saturdays, and promote it with ads carefully created to make us think pro bowlers are "highly competitive athletes" and anything but the doughy, pasty adult-nerds they really are. Bowling is boring.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy GOING bowling. But watching it on TV? I'd rather watch an endless video loop of Roseanne Barr singing the National Anthem. So leave it to Howard Stern to make bowling watchable.

In his new show set off on on Howard TV this past Monday, Stern pits bikini-clad porn stars, Maxim models, Penthouse Pets and various other hand-picked hotties, against each other in a bowling tournament that makes for compelling sports viewing. (I'm kidding. It's a jiggle-fest.)

Can these women actually bowl? Who cares. Once they strap on their stiletto-heeled bowling shoes, begin the trash-talking and wriggle down the lane - sometimes sans tops - it wouldn't matter if they were throwing Nerf balls at the pins. (Which, with all the gutter balls thrown in round one, they might as well have been.)



The next episode airs Thursday May 22, when the next eight Bowling Beauties will battle it out to see who makes it to the next round. You can meet the "competitors", track their progress, and of course see action pics, at craveonline.com/howardtv
