Ten points to the subject heading quote guesser. :D I have a five year old with an "owie nose" home today, which should make gift shopping for her today... interesting. (I think she just wanted to stay home and help me decorate.) Guys, I want to talk to you about something serious today. Something that I think you need to understand. Something very important to me.
I'm a hermaphrodite. Man, the promise of juicy gossip got you to click! Hahaha! No, I want to talk to you about TELEVISION and the two best shows you (most likely) aren't watching. WHY??
30 Rock
Okay, you may be scared. Sitcoms are scary places. I mean, "King of Queens" is still on the air. I get it. There's a lot of suck in the world of comedy. 30 Rock is NOT a ball of suck. It's the antithesis of suck. Wait, that means blow. It's AWESOME is what it is. I don't like many sitcoms. I like:
The Office (both versions)
Arrested Development
Action! (one of the best comedies that got axed too soon)
Scrubs
Seinfeld.
30 Rock is up there, people. It's clever. It's hilarious. It's intelligent. It's really silly. It has Alec Baldwin in the role he was BORN to play. It's written by Tina Fey, so you should support it on the basis of THAT. With lines like:
"You'd never see that on Black Frasier." "Black Frasier? I never heard of that show." "It was very popular on BET. On Thursday nights around 9, 9:15?" There's SO MUCH FUNNY hidden in this. If I have to explain it, it's no longer hilarious. Or:
"You can't kick me out, I love you!" "Too bad, I want you out." "I have squatter's rights!" "Well, which is it? You love me, or you have squatter's rights?" "I don't see why they have to be mutually exclusive."
THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. It's great. Thursday nights, 9:30/8:30 E/C. I can hook you up with past episodes if needed.
Friday Night Lights
What? WHY are you not watching this drama? Are you afraid it's all about football? It's not. Football is a metaphor. Football is an analogy. Is it that you're afraid of a high school-aged drama? There are all ages dealt with. Are you afraid it's too "soap opera-ish?" Because true, it has a serial drama format, but it's not a cheese fest. It deals with things in a raw manner. Like what? Infidelity. Honor. Sex. Our perception of the handicapped. Living down on your luck in a washed-out town. Sex. First love. New jobs. Hospice care for your family members. Sex.
It's good enough to be on HBO. And it's on Tuesday nights at 8/7 pm E/C. Also, please to be emailing me if you need hook ups with past episodes. There will also be a re-run of the entire series on Dec. 30th on Bravo, if you have cable. [ETA] It's moving to Wednesdays on Dec. 27th, so make a note.
*cough* Not to mention the eye candy, the sheer heartbreak of some story lines, the eye candy, and the intelligence of the writing/directing. Also, hot guys in tight pants. WHAT?
I just found a sleeping mask that Emily's now playing with. Would it be bad if I had her wear that in the toy store while I bought her presents? We could play "Little House on the Prairie" with me as Laura (obviously) and she can be Mary after Scarlet Fever sets in! Problem solved!

I can't watch 30 Rock, because you know, I am OBSESSED with Grey's Anatomy. More specifically, Dr. Alex Karev.
But I do try to watch Friday Night Lights, and I LOVE IT! I can't wait until the Bravo marathon. So happy it's a Saturday.
I haven't watched one minute of Grey's Anatomy - apparently I'm the last human on earth who hasn't! And yay for the FNL love. It's just a terrific show. *squish*
*scootches her over to make room for us* Hot cocoa on the way!
But first, I share in your Scrubs love. So consistently well-written. All about character. So good.
Now, a little background. Only recently did I discover the joy of Shaun of the Dead, and in particular a Mr Simon Pegg (note that I drop the period after Mr in deference to British grammar!).
I am now a rabid fan. Well, reasonably rabid. I don't foam at the mouth. I'm usually laughing too hard. And then I discovered Spaced.
And I am hooked. I highly recommend it. Basic premise? Two people who barely know each other pose as a married couple to snag an apartment. And there are so many pop culture references, so well executed, it's brought me to tears. Of laughter and amazement. (You know this has to be good; my italics quotient is positively skyrocketing.)
You'll have to BitTorrent/LimeWire/SharedDatabaseOfYour
(I'm waiting for the first season of FNL to come out on DVD, so I can NetFlix'em and watch at my convenience, all in a row, and have my eyes dry out and fall apart like bad stucco.)
(And if you want to start now, watch FNL on the 30th. Or wait like you've said. Also, I could hook you up with dl's if you don't want to wait that long.)
*bounces!!*
I am so going to hell for laughing at that.
Off topic, you posted that celebrity look alike meme the other day and I did it. Guess who I apparently look like? JACK NICHOLSON. Oh, or MOBY. Also gave me GARY OLDMAN. Um... how about some WOMEN, Meme makers!! WTF??
TV - not enough time. There's not many shows I'm watching faithfully, and more that I want to catch up on during their hiatus via Netflix, so I know what you mean. I don't like sitting on the couch for hours, so I have to watch judiciously! :D
Oh, have a TERRIFIC holiday. (If I don't talk to you before hand) I think you've been as busy (if not busier) than me! Massive hugs and love, my Anne-girl!
One of the last two, actually. ;-) I've never had any interest in "Grey's Anatomy," and my interest sank into the negatives after a joke a friend of mine made comparing it to "House" and "Scrubs." (Essentially, if he was ever dying and we had to choose a pop culture hospital for him, "Grey's Anatomy" was the last one he wanted to go--they'd be too busy having sex to actually do something for him)
Hrm. If your five-year-old is anything like my four-year-old, I wish you VERY good luck in keeping her blindfolded in a store. ;-) My daughter would stand for that for about A MINUTE before the "where are we?" curiosity beat out the "ooh, we're playing a game!" obedience.
Still, I hope she feels better. What kind of owie nose? Itchy? Stuffy? Sore? Or just generally "it's owie"?
And to be honest, she's not sick. She wanted to stay home is all, and frankly, Kindergarten isn't so important that she can't stay home and cur up in bed with me and the cats for once. :D
*loves you long time*
Friday Night Lights is really good. I liked the movie and this (the TV show) is more than just cute boys in football uniforms *ponders that for a minute* lol, but I agree with you. It touches on some deep issues.
FNL is a GREAT show, I'm glad to hear you like it!!
:D
I'm sorry I've failed you as a viewer. :(
But what about Tina Fey? What about HUMOR, Lynne????
he's all:
"where giraffe?"
"oh!!! there he is!!!"
"where giraffe?"
"oh!!! there he is!!!"
"where giraffe?"
"oh!!! there he is!!!"
then of course he cries when i try to scroll past it...
*g*
also? miss you!!!
::sigh::

MAN. I wish I could just shop for kids. Except that I HATE going to toy stores this time of year. GAH. Every screaming, runny-nosed child was out today. Except for my perfect little juvenile delinquent, Em. Yay!!
*waves penis at you* And I have NO IDEA THE QUOTE!!
I will be watching FNL on DVD this summer. No time right now sadly enough. And we're recording 30 Rock, but it's so hard to fit it in.
I hear you on shows. I don't know what I'd do without bit torrents and my DVR. Well, yeah I do: I'd not be watching much television, that's what!
