TV thoughts.

I was watching Oprah interview the Will and Grace cast the other day and it got me thinking. There are a few episodes of a few comidies that always make me laugh- even if I've seen them a thousand times. Here's my list

Will and Grace- The 1st Just Jack Episode. Especially the Rosario "Solamente Jack" comment
Seinfeld- A toss up here. I like the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat episode and the Ass Man
about the same.
Friends- No matter how many times I see it, I fall over laughing at the Game Show episode.
You remember, the one where Ross host a Jeopardy style contest to see who gets to
keep the apartment- "Big Fat Goalie!"
The Simpson- Hands down my favorite 30 minutes of TV ever! The Gummy Venus DeMilo.
"Sweet Candy..."

This should be a pretty good thread. I respect that you proudly open your post with "I was watching Oprah." - very secure in your masculinity.

Friends: I like the apartment battle also. I think Joey and Chandler have the second best male relationship in television history. They play off each other so well. My top would be the males on M*A*S*H.

Seinfeld: "The Contest" is hilarious. Kramer slamming the money on the counter near the beginning of the episode and yelling "I'm out" is side splitting hilarious.

Cosby Show: (old reference) The one where they dance for Cliff's parents on their wedding anniversary.

M*A*S*H - this isn't a funny one, but it's a great moment in television - The episode where Henry Blake finally gets to go home. At the end Radar O'Reilly comes into OR and announces that his helicopter crashed...immensely powerful.

Family Guy - All of them. But, the visual I cannot get out of my head was the "more frustrating than playing marco polo with Helen Keller." Seeing Stewie in the pool swimming around while she just stands there is classic.

I actually had a good idea for FG yesterday. In Fiddler on the Roof at the end of Tradition, there is a full cast argument over whether an animal was a horse or a mule. The should back and forth HORSE MULE HORSE MULE. If FG spoofed this somehow then panned to show Sara Jessica Parker standing there...then she just says "WHAT!?!?!"

Get it? Horse face? come on that's funny!!!

I'll probably have more ideas later. This should be a fun series of thoughts.

I forgot Family Guy. To me the funniest 30 seconds ever is the Dog Race-

Mr. P.- "Your dog is violating my Sea Breeze"
Peter- "He's not violating her, he's just akwardly mounti.. oh, now he's vioalting her"
Stewie- -porn music sounds-

I also loved PTV- "The Side Boob Hour"
