If you know California Tortilla is gunna make you puke, you will avaoid it. Since 90% of sitcoms are crap, turn the TV off and finish reading the last 600 pages of Don Quiote.<BR/><BR/> Then pick up Moby Dick, War and Peace and the complete works of Willy Shakespeare. <BR/><BR/>By then, perhaps sitcoms won't suck or you could just buy each season of "Alf" on DVD, now that's good entertainment. Next step is to get all 200 DVD's of Looney Tunes, when ever I watch that show and see the Coyote and Road runner, I think of you and Dick Beardsley's ghost.<BR/><BR/>-tange<BR/><BR/>p.s.

Those are the only half-hour "comedy" shows I watch. None of them have laugh tracks (thank God). <BR/><BR/>My most favorite TV moment of all time in my entire life came on an episode of The Office when Jim came in dressed up like Dwight. "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica." I laughed so hard I think I wet myself. <BR/><BR/>You are 100% correct in referring to 21st century situation comedies as "shitcoms." Since Seinfeld ended they all suck ass.Sun Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971351872301112088noreply@blogger.com
