The salacious game of Musical Chairs of Incest continues! Rick Forrester (Brooke and Eric's son) returned from Paris after Nick Marrone (Ridge's half-brother) took over Forrester Creations. Rick saw Phoebe (Ridge and Taylor's daughter), Phoebe saw Rick, and they said, "We grew up thinking we were niece and uncle, but who cares? We have the same last name! This is true love! I love you, we must be together forever! Hey, look it's raining outside, this is providence! Let's kiss!"
I think I mentioned this before (or maybe I'm just stealing somebody else's thoughts)... how come out of the 12.9 million people living in metro LA, the Forresters can't seem to find sexual partners outside of their own family??
Honestly, I think it has to do with the salaries. I've heard that B&B actors are among the highest paid soap actors in the biz, and The Powers That Be can't really afford to keep more than fifteen people on the payroll at a time. _________________ "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." ---- Groucho Marx
I actually know gay guys like Will, and they're such a pain in the....
Our lead respiratory therapist, who is just a towering inferno of flame (and funny as hell!) was in my office today explaining that he was sad, but he had to give up his 21-year-old boytoy ... and his 24-year-old ... but he wanted us to keep a lookout for someone he could have a real relationship with (not just good hardbody sex) -- and he was describing his ideal mate -- between 30 and 50, as tall as he is or taller, and comfortable with being gay -- nobody conflicted or "straight-acting" or any of that bullshit -- you know, like Will!

Loved Cheers as well, but preferred the earlier episodes with Shelley Long, rather than when Kirstie Alley was in it (although I love Kirstie Alley otherwise).
Shelley Long was just wonderfully infuriating, wasn't she? It took me a long time to warm up to Kirsty Alley as a replacement, but eventually she grew into her own. Carla was one of my favorites -- remember when she was dating Eddie LeBecq (sp?), the Canadian hockey star? "I know he loves me, because last night, at the end of the game, when the crowd was giving him the standing O, he skated right past where I was sitting ... and spit!"
Norm and Cliff always seemed like the most important supporting characters (and John Ratzenberger, who played know-it-all Cliff, gets points for being the only cast member to actually do a Boston accent -- "ya see, Nahm"); imagine my surprise when it was stick-up-his-ass Frasier who went off to become the hero of a popular spinoff (along with his hilariously terse, deadpan exwith, the aptly-named Lilith)! And poor Shelley Long faded away into obscurity... you just never can tell -- as with Joey. _________________ An apple a day....
I think one of the funniest American shows ever is Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm". It's filmed mockumentary-style, with completely improvised dialog, and real locations instead of sets. It's like "Seinfeld", only better and not censored.
That show is pretty good, but sometimes it's a little too good, you know. It gets frustrating and almost embarrassing to watch Larry make mistakes over and over, and everybody keeps misunderstanding him.

Have any of you fellow Americans seen "Ugly Betty" yet? It's gotten lots of raves, but I watched a couple of episodes and I just didn't get it. It's neither funny nor interesting, which sucks b/c I was hoping to love it.
I'm not American, but I've caught a glimpse or two of Ugly Betty and I didn't really get it either. They took a girl who's far from ugly and put glasses and braces on her...

I also watched Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. It's hot to see Sarah Michelle Gellar kick some (vampire) ass.
I did too -- all seven seasons. I also watched all five seasons of Buffy's spin-off series Angel which was fairly good. One of the things I liked about it was the humor. Did you catch the 10th episode of the 4th season of Buffy called Hush? It's one of the best episodes. Here's a little behind-the-scenes clip.
The only show I'm hooked on these days is Heroes. I also watch the occasional re-run episode of Seinfeld, Scrubs and The Simpsons.
Dallas... I used to watch that when I was little. They aired it once a week at 8pm. In those early days I wasn't allowed to stay up and watch Falcon Crest which was right after Dallas, at 9pm.
Bobby's hair-cut has got to be worth a million bucks!
I can't believe no one's mentioned MacGyver -- that guy could turn a fir cone and a piece of string into anything!
I have to admit that I'm really fond of American television. Here in Germany, most people like to watch German thrillers (whodunit?) that I really, REALLY hate - unfortunately, there is definitely too much of that right now!
My absolute favorites are LOST and King of Queens.
I think LOST is full of suspense and those constant flashbacks which are focused on a particular character and related to the actual story itself, make it even more mysterious. Just love it!
King of Queens is in my view the funniest US-sitcom I've ever come to know. Each of the characters is absolutely sensational - esp. Arthur Spooner, a hilarious freak, lol
As a child, I used to watch series like The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie. But ALF and The Bill Cosby Show are worth mentioning, too. Besides, I occasionally watched The X-Files in my teens. _________________ Jeder hat ein Recht auf meine Meinung!

I haven't seen this one in years and it still made me crack up like the first time I sawr it. (What is it about Long Island yentas speaking Yinglish/Ameridish that makes it so darn funny?) :
SNL: Linda Richman (Mike Myers), host of "Coffee Talk", is joined by her friend, Liz Rosenberg (Madonna), mamaleh (Roseanne Barr), and a special surprise guest.
I once had a boss whose relatives would visit from Long Island, and all the females sounded like that. A few minutes with them and I'd end up tawking like a Lawngeyeland housewife!
I loved it when Mike Myers and Dana Carvey were watching that provocative Madonna video on Wayne's World (was it Justify My Love?) and went, "Schwing! Look at the unit on that guy!" And then later Madonna came on as a guest star and said the exact same thing -- hysterical! _________________ An apple a day....

The series finale of King of Queens was yesterday. And I'm currently watching the series finale of The Gilmore Girls. What am I going to watch on TV now? My favorite shows are ending! _________________ "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." ---- Groucho Marx
I caught Spiderman last weekend and it was such a pleasant surprise to see Eric Foreman from That 70s Show locking horns with Toby Maguire's Spiderman.
Better than Friends, really. _________________ Hillary Clinton is an acquired taste which I have clearly yet to acquire.
I loved it when Madonna's character said "Eccchh! I don't like that Madonna, she's a KURVEH! Ecchh! Who's needs her???" Hahaha! She sounds like a neighbor I had when I was a kid _________________ "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." ---- Groucho Marx
I've started watching Scrubs now and then -- it's frequently laugh-out-loud funny.
It is! Dr. Cox among others is very funny.
I used to watch That 70s Show. I think that Fez might be the funniest character. Forman's mother makes a great contribution to that atmosphere of the past when you just didn't speak of certain things and constantly keeping a happy face was highly important (at least for women).
-Eric, your father isn't feeling well.
-Red's drunk?
-No, your father isn't feeling well.
The King of Queens was pretty funny too, much thanks to Jerry Stiller. It's just hilarious when any character of his is upset and shouts.
Did anyone else smack their TVs really hard at the end of The Sopranos series finale? I did, but luckily it wasn't my TV... _________________ "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." ---- Groucho Marx
