Yes, to both those things.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What they said. Especially JZ and Sophia.

I'm on the JZ, Sophia, -t, erika, Jesse bandwagon WRT Christina Applegate. I did not like the one ep that I saw of that new show, though. More's the pity.

You never saw Married with Children?! What are ya, a Commie?
Yup. I was forced to watch for a few minutes once and the laugh track + grating voices were like nails on chalkboard. That's all I remember of it. I watched Friends, though, starting at the first "will it end?" contract negotiation then working backwards and forwards. I remember Reese W. but not her, sadly.
Which reminds me, wasn't Eddie Cahill on L&O? When did he leave? [link] I'm wrong, it's L&O NY. That is still on? Anyone watching that? How's it doing these days?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
My mom just wrote me and my sister a long spiel on the various tv shows French television decides to air. Usually the shows are dubbed, but one stations is showing in VO (undubbed) so she finally got to hear the "real" voices of the actors. She prefers the dubbed shows, even though she has a harder time following along.
The French must love all the cop procedurals, because they get all flavors of CSI, Without a Trace, and Cold Case. For a while they also had Gray's Anatomy and apparently now Ugly Betty. Oh, I think I remember watching Bones too, this past trip.

They get most shows, it's usually just a question of whether they are on the regular stations (usually dubbed), or cable (often VO). It's eye-opening to watch the comedies dubbed because (IMO) they lose a lot. Friends was hugely popular and I gained a new appreciation for the actors when I realized how much of that show was in the delivery.
And there are shows that I only saw living in France, where it was jarring to finally hear the real voices of some of the actors in later shows. Julian McMahon, I'm looking at you.
