TV Meme

Electronic Cerebrectomy has posted a meme on TV watching. Can't pass that up, especially since I have nothing else to write about at the momement.

Once again, questions are taken from TV Tuesday.

1. What's your favorite sitcom?

Big Bang Theory at the moment. It just hits all the right spots.

2. Is there a sitcom you really don't like?

Not really, I've never got The Office.

3. Which sitcom did you used to like, but now it just seems too hokey?

Maybe Will and Grace or Friends, which I used to watch religiously.

4. If your life was a sitcom, what would the title be?

The IT Crowd (but i tyhink this title is already taken by a British Sitcom)

5. Did you watch any of the marathons running this year? In part? In whole?

I don't have time to watch marathons. Couldn't fit in more than 2 episodes into my schedule.

6. Is there a show you'd like to see run an all day marathon? On the flipside is there a show you'd avoid in marathon?

Kind of weird. I'd love to see Quantum Leap in it's entirety, or X-Files.

7. What show featuring those who protect your country (fiction or non-fiction) is your favorite?

I used to love Space Above and Beyond, and of course Stargate SG-1. Not sure about non-fiction shows.

8. Out of curiosity, what's the longest you've ever watched TV in one stretch?!

I can do 2-3 hours at a time.

9. Do you watch daytime talk TV? If so, which shows do you watch? Do you prefer the calm shows like Oprah or the wilder side like Jerry Springer?

I spend my time in the office. Is weekend mornings considered day-time TV? If yes, than anything on the Food network.

10. Which daytime talk TV show would you like to be on? What would the topic be?

None, god help me.

11. Is there a daytime talk TV show you miss that's no longer on the air? Is there someone you'd like to see get a daytime talk TV show?

Not really. Again I don't watch day-time stuff.

12. Before talk TV took over game shows ruled the airways during the day, which do you prefer? Or are you a soap opera fan?

When I was younger, and had time for it, I watched the price is right, and Family Feud.

13. Which TV Dad would you have most liked to have for your own dad? On the flipside, who was the TV Dad you'd have least liked to have had?

Al Bundy, maybe. All kidding aside he was cool, or Howard Cunnigham on Happy Days. The least? What was Bob Saget's character on Full House? From what I remember the character was whiny,and would rather have John Stamos as a dad.

14. Who do you consider the most realistic TV Dad? Who did you consider simply too good to be true?

Al Bundy was probably the most realistic dad, or Homer. Too good to be true, probably Alan Thick's character on Growing Pains.

15. Do you watch infomercials? Be honest now!

Sometimes. During weekend morning Food network viewings.

16. What's your favorite infomercial or infomercial product?

The bacon maker! Don't remember who or what sold it.

17. Have you ever bought anything from an infomercial? If so, what was it?

Yes. The bacon maker!

18. What's the stupidest (most annoying, most worthless) infomercial you've ever seen?

The onion chopper.

19. One of the latest trends in Daytime TV is re-runs of 80's & 90's hit shows, what is your favorite that's re-running now? If you don't have one which show would you like to see re-running?

Sometimes I catch StarTrek: TNG on BBCA. Don't have the time. Quantum Leap would be nice.

20. On the whole do you feel most Special Reports are really that special? Or are they simply annoying?

Nope, they put all sorts of crap there.

21. What special report has effected you most? (IE: (9/11, Reagan being shot...etc)

9/11 I would guess. I was trying to dial New York unsuccessfully for several hours. Scared the living crap out of me.

22. What's your fondest memory of something on TV?

I actually do not remember anything profoundly affecting me on TV. But my usual memory span is short, and very selective.

23. What's the first show you remember watching regularly?

Started with Spin Tales and Duck Tales, moved on to DarkWing Duck. Later on, I watched A-Team and Knight Rider all the time. StarTrek: TNG also.

24. What is the (pick one: stupidest, saddest, silliest, most disgusting..) thing you've ever seen on TV?

I sneaked on Jerry Springer couple of times. I remember the icky taste it left in my mouth.

25. What's the best series finale you remember?

I didn't like the TNG finale that much. I don't remember X-Files finale. Quantum Leap's finale was great. Boston Legal's finale was awesome. What could be a better testament to the crazyness and excellent writing than double weddings of Sack and Schmidt and Crane and Shore.

Things you never cared to know about Mayonnaise

I have decided to start a new Rubric. Once a week I will write a post about a random subject. Having the subject coming out of MY head, it can be about anything. I constantly have a lot of random "Why?" and "How does?" questions floating around in my head. I will try to explain how I arrived to the subject at hand and promise to do diligent research on Wikipedia and provide you, the unfortunate reader, with either the interesting or unusual bits of info. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! In addition to that I have a slight fetish for trivia. The rubric will be called: Things you never cared to know about Today's topic is Mayonnaise . How did I arrive to that? As I was making breakfast in the morning, I decided that I wanted to take a pita pocket and stuff it with something. The pitas are usually fairly dry, and you have to toast them. I did not have Hummus or Babaganoush (GOD! I just love saying BA-BA-GA-NOUSHHHHHHHHH!) I put a little Mayo inside to soften it up. So, ther

Crazy ideas - UPDATED

Here's a crazy survey I thought off. If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility. ----UPDATE---- As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable. My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore: a. To the Big Bang b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly. f. Suggested by Ilya . Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket. e. Try to see if Atlantis existed. f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun. I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point. I still rather see the dinosaurs.

Weekend update

Finally some beautiful weather here in Chicago. We have decided to go to our regular hunting grounds at Lincoln Park Zoo. We slept well into the morning, picked up our good friends and in the company of four adults and three children went to see the animals. The photographer in me was screaming bloody murder to go out and make pictures. Thankfully my wife was very tolerant this time around with me running around like a madman taking picture of anything that moved. Lincoln Park Zoo is a great little place. It's free (if you don't consider $17 parking) they have all the animals kids love to see, and none of the animals where you stand scratching your head wondering how do you explain platipus to a 5-year-old. One bad thing that happened today, is I think i forgot to close the car, and somebody got in and stolen my Magellan GPS. Luckily nothing else was in the car, so other then that the car remained untouched. Unpleasant, but I have only myself to blame, and I think I'll live
