    Holy shit that was supposed to be the ONE fucking thing this guy was good at doing. The one fucking thing. 

    Don't confuse reality tv with reality. It's tv. Staged, scripted, shot out of sequence, and edited.

    The only part that seems to me could make a good movie would be the stuff about the mule.

    The part that borders on fantasy? Nah. The vision of future society and technology, Trantor, the City, Psychohistory. Especially Psychohistory. The magic-free part is more interesting, imo. 

    But if you like the Mule part then you should definitely read Pebble in the Sky. That laid the groundwork for the psycho-kinetic powers in the Foundation universe.

    Don’t know if those goes here or trivial things that annoy me thread.

    Helping my wife wrap presents. We’re using some amazon boxes to wrap the gifts in. We’re using clear packing tape to close the boxes. We don’t have a tape holder. Every time I use the tape, I fold the end over so it’s easy to find the edge when you need to use it again. The wife lets the tape stick back on the roll after she tapes a box shut so I spend about 5 mins trying to find the edge and get it started again. This has happened about 3 or 4 times today.

    What, were you raised by wolves?

    BTW for those of you who've never seen "What Planet Are You From?", I can't recommend it highly enough. Funny af.

    It's surprisingly good. I had very low expectations but it's very funny. Great cast. I wouldn't put it among the all time comedy classics but it's a must see if you like Garry Shandling. Great work. I don't know how anyone else could have pulled off such an absurd premise. 

    Also, Annette Bening rules.

    I only recently watched the zen diaries.  While I wasn’t a consistent viewer  of his two big series, I did watch a lot of his comedy in the 80s.  Some of his specials and jokes are some of the most memorable to me of almost any comic from that era.   He was the top along with Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinison and Dice.    (For those that weren’t alive, Dice was the top for a short time but that’s another topic for another thread.)

    Its a shame that garrys feud with brad grey looks to have held him back for so long.  I don’t mean that he couldn’t find work but that he didn’t want to.

    Andrew Dice Clay sucked and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Garry Shandling. He belongs in the same breath as Jeff Foxworthy. Same bit, different stereotype. He may has we'll have built his act around, 'You might be a New Jersey meathead if...'

    It only takes one patriot in the right position to end this short of that point.  I hope one exists.

    That's why I kind of hoped John Kelly was always armed, just in case.

    Sorry, I read your post wrong. I was making fun of you because I thought you just figured out where the song came from. I was going to tell you that every male over 40 knows that song well.

    Yeah, I watched the pilot of Greatest American Hero when it was first broadcast. I was always a fan of the song, too (the Joey Scarbury version didn't appear until the second episode, part 2 of the pilot). I thought it was hysterical that George used it as his answering machine message. Seinfeld had a lot more viewers than Greatest American Hero ever had. I figure there have to be some people who didn't get that reference. There have to be some who don't know where that emblem comes from when they see it on one of Sheldon's shirts on Big Bang Theory. 

    I've also seen some old reruns of Murphy Brown recently. I had forgotten that Murphy constantly replacing weird or incompetent secretaries was a running gag on that show. That makes her line about having a good feeling about Kramer that much funnier. 

  8. I wonder if there are any Seinfeld fans who don't know where George's answering machine message came from. I'm watching a rerun of Greatest American Hero on H&I right now. That was maybe the best bad tv show ever made. And the theme song became a radio hit. But the show didn't have much of a following. It was cancelled before the end of the third season. Anyway, just in case you didn't know...

    Believe it or not, George isn't at home
    Please leave a message at the beep
    I must be out or I'd pick up the phone
    Where could I be?
    Believe it or not, I'm not home!

    I already did, Mr. "Classic Troll Move."

    No you didn't. How about you give us a link to your post where you told us why Hillary lost the election because she's too much of a centrist.

    How the fuck does he not know who McGurk is?

     

    He does. It's just a favorite tactic of his to deny knowing anyone he's associated with who does anything that reflects poorly on him.
