every show under the sun
i couldn't be happier! the tv talk just won't stop. i got into work today and received an email from my friend phil who lives in dc. he's part of jamie's crew that travels to the outer banks every memorial day weekend. i don't think either of us went this year. i hope everyone goes next year, though. anyway, phil read jon's 2004 tv season recap and felt like a few shows were overlooked. phil sent me a list of his thoughts and i now post them for your reading and recording enjoyment.
here's an excerpt:
Everybody Loves Raymond
It's no surprise that this show garners top ratings year after year — it's fucking funny! Since the show has been around a while, the characters are established and the cast plays them to perfection. It is dysfunctional-family-situational-comedy at its finest. End of story!
Was Phil still asleep when he wrote this? EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND? I've never seen an episode. Phil, I'm going to watch one episode that airs in syndication and it better be "fucking funny." Or else.

and Marc, i think i just assumed that you had been into Dr. Who at some point in your life.
Posted by: jamie at June 9, 2004 01:03 PMYeah, after compiling that list, and noting that I only included what Jon did not (and I prob watched more than half of Jon's stuff) I realized that I watch a lot of damn tv. And all while working full time, going to grad school, getting married, etc. Some might say I have an incredible talent. However I suspect most of you think I'm an idiot :)
Posted by: Phillip at June 9, 2004 02:41 PMNo offense Marc, but you should watch a few eps before you judge. ELR is way past it's due date, but I've seen a few episodes that were shockingly hilarious.
