Comedians --
Concur with Eddie Izzard. I agree, his stuff doesn't lend itself to quotes, but the material is clever and the delivery quirky.
Same effect for Anthony Clark (who's been wasting his time and ours on sitcoms).
I suspect that it resonates far better with parents, but Bill Cosby's family humor can't be beat.
In other news, we can safely conclude that
Less will not be investing in HDTV anytime soon.

My favorite excerpt:

Of course, as long as they've got some bedroom skills, adult performers needn't be absolute world-beaters in the looks department, so they tend to be a lot less lovely than your average Hollywood star. In addition, they end up revealing a lot more nooks and crannies than their mainstream peers, which means many more physical flaws can wind up on-screen. That's no big deal for peddlers of lowbrow or amateur smut, in which bad bodies are the norm. But keep in mind that DirecTV will be broadcasting films from two sources, Playboy and the Spice Channel, both of which pride themselves on being vendors of classy porn. The action on Spice is tame compared to what you might find at the local XXX store, and the stars typically sport toned, pneumatic bodies without visible shortcomings. If Cameron Diaz's otherworldly reputation can't survive HDTV intact, what chance does the Spice Channel's talent have? And will HDTV customers readily fork over $14.99 per three-hour movie block once they realize that the naughty sorority sister their order conjures up has amateurish implants, and the lucky TV repairman's skin redefines the word "leathery"?

Now I'm guessing that until the industry starts investing in prettier people, Less' viewing habits will be kept limited to the 13" Panasonic.*
