Now that I am doing pithy one liners, I was gonna reply, "how is this a costume?" but i figured someone beat me to the punch on that one.

I am a little afraid to admit this, but I didn't get the joke about the Passover costume. (I'm so ashamed -- but will someone please explain it to me?)

Yeah, I love the guy. He's got a show on FoxSportsNW every Sunday night - it's pretty funny. He usually goes out on the streets with some "cause" and it's funny how no one recognizes him. One time, he was flipping pancakes at the IHOP and screwing up madly, but the customers were real nice.
For the name, I can only say that he is deeply religious and met his wife at the church (I believe - I could be wrong). So I guess it beats Jezebel as a religious name.

And can I just say for the record - the Red Sox suck. What the hell is wrong with you people? Can't swing a bat?
I was really hoping for a Cubbie/Red Sox series. That would have been fun. Someone would have lost a curse. And if one of you Chicago types could please tell me what the curse of the goat is, I'd really appreciate it!

The other day, I remembered the other funny line in the history of Friends: the one about Joey's tailor ("That's the way they do it."/"In PRISON!"). Other than that, I'm really hard pressed to understand why this show had the legs it did. It is not a compendium of cultural knowledge like Seinfeld, and it resorts too quickly to the "Scene: X kisses Y; audience goes WHOOOOOO!" school of dramatic twists.

Watching this show in its last season is like watching a relative with Alzheimer's fade away in a nursing home. One that you were never close to but your family said you were supposed to love.

BTW, Ross looks like absolute shit. His career is over when this gets put to bed.



Huh. I thought this was a disappointment. I kept asking, "Why does that Elliot chick look like crap?" It was like she skipped makeup. Oh, it's the standard Makeover Plotline. Of course.

Agree on Cox/Kelso thing. Cox has annoyed me from Day 1. His dialog is good; his delivery got old by the end of the first episode.

I'll add my own: Angel. I think this should be mandatory FB watching, since the entire season is about being good inside an evil law firm, and the compromises we make in the interests of continued employment.

Making Gunn a lawyer was an interesting twist. I was wondering how they'd get around Cal. Rules Prof. Conduct, Rule 1-310. One down, four to go.

Looks like they'll make good use of Harmony.

Jesus , the pendanticism and condescencion on this board is running rampant. First Slave feels compelled to note he ihas lurked but has saw nothing worth replying to befroe he replies. Totally unnecessary statement along the lines of Lester's reply to the song thread that he isnt gonna reply to the song thread. People, if this board is boring and not worthy of your posts, then stop lurking and leave already. I wont miss you.

Then AG with his little critique of Friends. Pal, this show had plenty of funny moments and one of the all time great sitcom romances. It had great characters in its time. You apparnetly have seen too many reruns so that its gotten stale, or are still watching after the characters have gotten to the end of their arc (and I hvanet seen it in two years so I am not saying they have). But this show was very funny for a lot of people. Just bc someone is too erudite , or fancies himself that way, does not mean that someone should think his special little brain is wired the same way as those of us Friends loving and laughing masses. Maybe Bilmore has room in his kayak for that ibg head of yours?

Ooops, sorry. I actually don't really know when it's on. I just got a season pass on Tivo and forgot about it. I noticed that it was recorded sometime in the last few days. I'm guessing Wednesday.

Not to mention one of the catchiest theme songs ever. I would like to add it to the 24 Hour Party People soundtrack so that it will be on my life soundtrack. Not that it has any relevance or meaning, but my life needs something catchy and upbeat. I'm not gloomy enough for all that Joy Division.

Much as I hate to take sides against my imaginary boyfriend from the internet (that would be Atticus, for those of you keeping score). I have to agree with paigow.

I say it proud; shouting it from the rooftops, as it were, "I LIKE THE SHOW FRIENDS AND I THINK IT'S REALLY FUNNY!!" Some years were definitely better than others, I grant you, but last year was primo.

(I feel a little like ABBA admitting her love for boy-bands.)


I just had to leave in the thing about the kayak because -- well, just because.

Angel is on at 9 pm on Wednesdays on the WB. I guess that might change by timezone, but I doubt it - they skimmed the censors' limits very closely last season, and I see no reason it will stop. Spike's pasty ass is probably not prime-time fare.

BR(no matter how weak last season was, I will always love it for the number of times it made me say "they did NOT actually just say that, did they?")C

You people keep reminding me of songs I thoughtlessly omitted. How can I have left off the Police? The Violent Femmes? The B-52s? Sigh.

The Eagles' Desperado, too. On a spring break roadtrip in England, my car mates decided we needed to memorize it, so we listened to it OVER and OVER.

Most memorable Hotel California moment: the lyrics being hilariously mangled by a bar band at a Swiss hotel on an island in the middle of the Nile.

Even I don't have the patience to argue with you over the minor point of whether Friends has always sucked ass or merely sucks ass now.

Considering the fact that I introduced you to The Office, you'd think you'd have a little more respect for my "erudite" tastes in television.

About Less getting passed over by the broads he is casting his wide net over. Very pithy, and punny.

Yeah, but this is different. Wonder if the prosecutor will open with his speeches on "personal responsibility" as he blames his trafficing on "addiction."

realityblurred --

Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica has become "the second-highest rated cable show after Sex and the City," according to TV Guide. As a result, MTV has renewed it for a second season that will start shooting in October, CNN reports. The current season ends Oct. 14. Meanwhile, Nick Lachey's record company "has decided to put [his new] album off until Nov. 11," in part because of the way the show "has made music fans take [Jessica] about as seriously as they do Anna Nicole Smith," The Daily News reports. But Jessica's father tells TV Guide that she "knows she's on camera" and "[s]ince she was a little girl, people have been calling her a dumb blonde, ... she begins to assume the role that everybody expects of her. That doesn't mean that's who she is."



Poor dad. Hard to admit you raised a spoiled clueless brat. On the plus side, she does have big jugs.
