Our Very Own Pushy Wins the Lotto
 

Fav. Line of last episode: I'm looking for something that says "Daddy likes Leather"

One of my Christmakah wishes is for a back-story episode on the courtship and wedding of Tobias and Lindsay Fulke.

The writing on Arrested Development could not possibly be funnier, and everyone's comic instincts are so dead on.

And, as my wife notes, the makeup job they're doing on Liza Minelli is incredible because she hasn't looked this good in years.

"Broadcast" to me means stuff transmitted over-the-air, so everything on VHF or UHF is broadcast. I guess I could have used "network television" instead, but by your reasoning a satellite broadcast would be a network, too. Contrast with "cable channels," which still means something to the people at the ACE awards. At least, it's a source of self-deprecating jokes by Jon Stewart on one of the cable news shows.

Agreed, but it's Funke. I think the names (George, Michael, George Michael, GOB, Maebe Funke) are one of the best parts about the show. The TV writer for our local paper said the "GOB" joke would get funnier over time, and he was right --- it does.

I think the fake teasers at the end of the show are also really funny, but they were used on "Reno 911" first.

The lawyer characters were both hi-lar-i-ous. "I've used exactly one adjective to describe myself. What was it?" "Professional." "Exactly."

I would definitely do a three-way with MTM and the woman who plays Lucille Bluth.

It ain't a whiteout so long as you can still see the blue in the Bills uniforms.

Blizzard of '77 whiteouts were cool too (of course, I was only 6 going on 7 when we were blessed with that one)

Satellite is also not "broadcast" for some strange FCC reason. Dunno why, but it's not.

Why are you pissed at Whedon? Angel's been on break so it can't have been misbehaving. Or is it the long break that is pissing you off? I have some vague idea that the next new episode is the 14th.

I was worried that I'd missed something. Is it just the hiatus? I much prefer a long winter hiatus to a long spring hiatus. The weeks from February sweeps until mid-April without new shows suck majorly.

This has got to be up towards the top of the list.

(yahoo news article on Christian nudist colony)

From what I've seen on HBO's Real Sex series, the only people who visit nudist colonies are people you'd never ever want to see naked in the first place. I can't imagine the religious element raises the bar any. Is this one of those faith-based initiatives that we keep hearing about?

Arrested Development
 

Three things about the show that astonish me:
Jason Bateman is hilarious and hot.
Liza Minelli is intentionally hilarious.
Portia de Rossi is competent.

Yeah, hiatus, it's been a fairly long one. However, it coincided nicely with my schedule going all to hell, so it meant I haven't missed anything and therefore I've not been annoyed by it.

Britney is Officially Free
 

JANUARY 5--Two hours after Britney Spears petitioned a Nevada court this morning for an annulment of her quickie nuptials, a Las Vegas judge granted the singer's request, effectively erasing a marriage that was shorter than one of Spears's pub crawls. The annulment order was signed by Clark County District Court Judge Lisa Brown.

For every 100 disgusting germans in thongs (or saggy grandmas) on a topless beach*, there's a diamond-in-the-rough set of 18-yr old twins displaying their four perfect breasts. Well worth the unwanted view of a wurst in a banana hammock.

Thanks for doing that math on that one, Coltrane.

What's that, like half a puppy?

Yes. So you would need to endure 200 wurst to get one glimpse.

That would be another way of putting "the producers of 'Angel' have mebbe a week before I tell them to go fuck themselves." Perhaps clearer.

I wasn't watching during the whole Lindsey McDonald era, except for the episode in which they brought Darla back, so "Oooh, how intriguing, Lindsay's back!" wasn't enough to tide me over patiently since freakin' Thanksgiving.
