Did anyone see Jack & Jill? I liked it back then.
I saw the first two seasons or so and don't know if it was even continued after that.

Anyone remember Ned And Stacey? Thomas Haden Church pwned that show. It should have just been called Ned.

Memorable line: Ned(Introducing a friend to Stacey):"This is my wife Stacey. My teenage girlfriend shot her in the head."


Seán Says: I need to raise €50,000,000 to make a CGI film adaptation of Matlock. Eddie Murphy will voice Matlock

My favorite sitcom is maybe Jerry Stiller.


Due to my present condition and predicaments of being a crippled as a result of the fatal accident that I had, I am not able to carry out this contract because I can only walk on a wheel chair.

How often do most people laugh during the average episode of their favourite sitcom? I enjoy quite a few of these sitcoms mentioned, notably the Ricky Gervais ones, but I still only get a laugh out of about 1 joke out of every 3-4 episodes of say, Family Guy. There are certain factors to consider, I might laugh more if I'm intoxicated and/or watching with friends, but I guess I just simply don't laugh as much as the average person.

Before anyone says something like "you probably just don't 'get' most of the jokes," that's probably the complete opposite of the truth. I simply can't laugh at an obvious joke. I didn't want to say that but I just had to cover my ass from that classic retort..

Family Guy is hilarious. Sea Lab is funny too. Lots of things are funny to me, so I end up pretty much laughing all day, everyday.

Ever catch yourself smiling/almost laughing at something on TV that is sooo stupid and not funny that it is insulting to good humour? I hate that! I grab my face and try to steer the smile away. A good example would be "Saved By The Bell" or something like that. Makes me feel like I'm losing my mind.

Wow, 'Saved By The Bell' is a classic. No shame in enjoying that!

Watching the card game episode of Only Fools And Horses recently (the first one with Boycie, who wasn't initially meant to be a regular character), it really struck me how, at it's best, OFAH is so well written and warm hearted. That episode is beautifully written.
