Inspector Lynley (not that any one cares) so they got a new actress for his ex-wife for all of an ep to kill her off. That's lame.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Quick question for theater people. A friend got pressured into playing the madman in the Telltale Heart for Halloween. (How original!). The question, at the end when he starts raving he breaks into uncontrollable laughter. Are there any tricks real actors know for not breaking up when delivering lines they find hilarious?

"It's no secret you turn to potatoes in times of need." -- Daniel, Ugly Betty
Teppy, a few weeks ago I got a tape from a friend with the beginning of "Ugly Betty", the first season, and a "You *have* to see this!" excited recommendation. We had an Israeli version (of the original telenovela), which was mostly silly, and not much more than that. My friend assured me that the USA version is great. Your tagline makes me guess that you agree with her?
It really IS great! At first I wasn't sure I'd like it, because I can't handle shows/stories that involve humiliating a character, and I was afraid that "Ugly Betty" could head that way. It hasn't, though, and it's had some fantastic moments.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Things become less hilarious with repetition. He may not have that problem with lots of rehearsal.

The status is NOT quo.
dare guess you've never worked with Israelis before. Nobody (other than me) will remember anything next year.Heh. I worked with a bunch of Israelis at the Jewish high school, and I have to say that I learned a lot about both the good and bad inherent in Israeli culture. The funniest thing is that they joke about it all the time.

One day, when I'm less tired, remind me to tell you about Kishon (a famous Israeli writer who joked about this stuff all the time).
It really IS great!
Yay! I know what I'm going to do once this working day (which is already tomorrow morning, in case you were wondering) is over.

It was recommended to me by a friend who really doesn't like this sort of stuff as well, so I wasn't worried already. But it's always good to read.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, I have a big problem with shows like that. It's one of the reasons I think most British comedy doesn't translate well to American remakes.

The bad-ass Israeli story I tend to tell is about Nilly...
We were at the top of the Empire State Building and it was crowded. I offered to push our way to the front (for Nilly is wee and Nilly is sweet and I am a New Yorker and neither) and she said "Oh please, I'm Israeli" and yanked me through to the front.
so. funny.
