America's favorite game show host and lawyer
while skimming a story last week about a 9/11 survivor who was awarded $8.6M, some words caught my zig-zagging eyes. turns our her lawyer was named Guy I. Smiley leading me to believe that his parents were either big Sesame Street fans or high on peyote when he was born. then i found a picture of him and his firm's homepage and he obviously predates the character, so the origin remains a bit of a mystery. in any event, he can obviously be trusted to handle your legal heavy lifting should you find yourself the victim of medical malpractice or governmental climactic negligence.
while we're talking about Muppets, does anyone know why no channels are showing reruns of The Muppet Show? Disney seems like the likely culprit, but couldn't Trio slap down a couple million and show an episode a night? it's gotta be better than this Cop Rock thing they're wasting time with.

i recently purchased a muppet show dvd featuring three full episodes. the hosts are john cleese, dudley moore and peter sellers and guess what, the dudley moore episode is the best of the bunch somehow. the other two are magnificent too but dudley is on fire for the full 24 minutes and makes you wonder if it's time to re-evaluate his back catalog. anyhow, reruns of the muppet show are the salve to soothe a hurting nation.

Ever listen to Derek and Clive? Dudley Moore was much more than just Oliver and 10.

i'd get the Muppet DVD, but the wife is angling for a Kids in the Hall DVD for her birthday, so i guess Jim Henson's estate will have to wait a bit longer for that royalty check.
