Wow, what insight. Way to "instigate." 30 Rock was, I feel, rather sucky in the beginning, now it's actually sort of worthwhile. It's a toss-up. The Office was not as good in the beginning but still one of the better comedies on television, and now, well now it just rules all. Its only rival is Curb Your Enthusiasm. Thank goodness nobody is writing about My Name Is Earl because that one, although okay for a diversion if you have the time to spare, is not very good, at least anymore. I really do not know much about the Veronica Mars show although Entertainment Weekly seems perpetually in love. It's some teen detective thing with low production values, I suppose. Do you realize how ridiculous of a character you become when you unilaterally rag on Seinfeld? I mean, really. What the fuck? I mean, if you don't watch any television, then I can see where someone has a valid point for slamming Seinfeld, which by any account is one of the funniest programs of all time. |

I never got t.v. It seems the less I watch it the more I hate it.

i watched tons of episodes of seinfeld and it didn't do anything to me, not a single laugh once. it's probably because i hate every one of the actors and their characters (except for that kramer guy who was amussing at times).
same with family guy, i can dismantle it saying where from the simpsons they have gotten their shit but the point remains that it's just not funny, never did squat for me except once when the dad says he hasn't been in california since he was there with his other family, then it flashes back to the 60's and tells charles manson and the rest of the family that he got invited to a party at sharon tate's house but that he's only bringing them if they promise to behave. |

I liked the Family Guy "Blue Harvest" parody of Star Wars a good deal. If a few unnecessary parts were taken out, it would be truly great. There are funny parts in some episodes too, of course. I don't loathe it as I did initially, but I also still rarely watch one.
Tina Fey... Look, Tina Fey is a decent comedic actress, she's a decent writer, and shocker, she's (only just) decent looking. Nothing more really. She along with Amy Poehler scratched and clawed their way to where they are by working very hard. Amy started originally on Conan's show. It seems all of the treatments with Tina Fey in mind cast her as the (usually MILF-y) sex symbol. Only it's the Tina Fey version of a sex symbol with the Tina Fey spectacles. She's certainly not bad-looking for her age. And you get a sense of a smart personality that's attractive. She's not as sparkling in interviews. It seems clear to myself that it takes a lot of "work" to get her looking (& sounding) as nice as she does at times. Sometimes all the "effort" seems counter-productive, a little silly, and perhaps, I don't know, but perhaps, a little vain. Oh well, Tina Fey is human. I suppose it just goes with the medium though. And Tina's only doing what she has to do to be able to work in the manner she likes. She graduated from UVA here in town. Tina Fey is an assumed name, by the way. |

seinfeld is like arrested development. you are not supposed to like any of the characters. they are all hateful horrible, petty, shallow, greedy, toxic people, but that makes for hilarious television, since we could give a fuck if terrible things keep happening to them week after week.
I rpefer that to tv shows where we are supposed to be buddies with everyone on it. I woul;d hate to be friends with the T seinfeld, or kramer, or costanze. they would just drag you down with them! same fo rthe family in arrested eevelopment, which is HILARIOUS, but they suck shit! they are all a bunch of fucking losers, and it is funny that way.

when woody harrelson played Dieter's idol, a german experessionist filmmaker, and then he went to america to show his movis and came back with a foam dome beer hat and praise for the americans, and Dieter was so heartbroken and shattered. genius fucking shit man. especially woody's character's movies, with the B+W chicken and the old man mumbling

According to his personal testimony, a close friend actually and truly pissed his pants a little back when Sprockets was airing in the original run of SNL eps.
