Things I've learned from TV

So, I was back to work today, but last week while watching more tv than any one person should, a few things occured to me...

TV couples who aren't together are much more compelling and cuter than those who are (with the small exception of Paul and Jamie on "Mad About You" and Cliff & Claire Huxtable). Think about it... Mulder & Scully, Joey & Pacey, Ross & Rachel (in the old days) and my most recent favorite, Josh & Donna on the West Wing.

Speaking of the West Wing... is there anyone who doubts that if Jed Bartlet were on the ballot next month he'd win by a landslide?

All of the Golden Girls are funnier than hell. I defy you to prove me otherwise.

The most annoying/disturbing recent ad campaign are those Travelocity commercials featuring the gnome who talks in a bizzare "British" accent (is it British? I don't really know, but it's wierd nonetheless). The one where the people are going at it while the gnome is in the room? Creepy... It's right up there with that one for levitra or something where the old dude has blue devil horns while his wife looks at some slutty outfit in the store window. Ewww...

"The Real World" these days bears little to no resemblance to the original. Do these kids get a memo on how to act like the "drunken frat boy" or the "rich little white girl" before or after the casting process? On a side note, at what point do former cast-members have to get a real job and stop appearing on the Road Rules/Real World challenge/Battle of the sexes or whatever? They should be required by law to get a real job. For real. Let's get Congress on it ASAP.

Dr. Phil is one smart cookie. I'm serious.
