Things that bring the funny

1. "Work the body, Satchel." Hee!
I admit it: I don't always feel "Get Fuzzy", but the strips from the last week or so have had me rolling. This one especially. Once I hear "work the body" in my head I dissolve into a puddle of laughs.

2. Frasier. I stopped watching the show sortly after Niles and Daphne got together. So much of the tension that had made the show intriguing died at that point. Absence, it seems, made the heart grow fonder. I caught an episode tonight with Patrick Stewart, where Frasier ended up implying (implying?) he was gay in order to get into the captain's good graces...had me laughing so hard I was sure my brothers would have thought something was wrong with me.

3. King of Queens. Everybody Loves Raymond can suck it. I love you, Kevin James. Although I really can do without Ben Stiller's dad getting screen time. That man can really grate on the nerves after a while.

4. Fametracker. All the snark of Television Without Pity, without the puzzling and unpredictable moderation.

5. X-Entertainment. NO, it's not porn. Promise. Sort of like another website I like which I will not link to unless they get around to putting a certain person's article up (slackin' bastids). The bad movie reviews at X are HILARIOUS. One really horrendous day at school I read this review and, literally, almost pissed me bloomers. I'm fairly certain those around me on the other computers thought I'd flipped completely off my gourd.

So...ja. I'm going to bed now.

I fell in love with X-Entertainment back when they were doing "Saved By the Bell" synopses and articles about the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" phenomenon. <3!

Saved by the Bell synopses? Sweet LORD.

I find it funny that I loved that show BIND, but can't stand it now...literally get pains when I hear it on television. And that's when my brothers (?) watch it in the morning before they head to school. What is this world coming to?

And your icon is great. You no doubt know that by now, but I feel like chiming in anyway.

I ... used to read the Sweet Valley books religiously; I found out that the SVH TV show was re-running on ABC Family last year and was elated at first, but then I realized just how cheesy it was. It was kind of depressing how much I'd outgrown it. :(

Thanks!

Kevin James is one of my favorite comedians. If you haven't already I highly recommend seeing his one hour stand-up "Sweat the small stuff."

Jerry Stiller can be all right but I got tired of the yelling on Seinfeld, I really don't need to see it now. Talk about a one trick pony.

I'm definitely going to add that to my Netflix queue. His show sort of has a point, and it's not predictable. Raymond has the same premise: his parents are annoying, his brother's always taking the wrong steps, Ray's always wrong, his wife's always right. Very boring. I like that problems on KoQ don't arise because of easily resolved miscommunication, and that he and his wife act like a normal couple (although his wife is sort of hot for him...that seems fictionalized, at least). Eh. I have syndication to catch it on.


And Jerry Stiller...tell me about it. Shyeah. *One* trick might be pushing it, even.
