Selfishness

I was listening to Star 98.7 this morning and it dealt with women deciding to have a kid without a man. The beginning made me more upset than what you can listen to on the site. It is called Single Motherhood.

It would be great if women decided to adopt if they wanted to have kids, but I understand there are women who want to give birth. Either way a woman should not be called "selfish" for wanting a child. Yes, a father is important, but if a woman wants a child and is prepared for it (as much as you can be) she should be able to.

The issue of "selfishness" reminds me of a Joeyism on FRIENDS where he explains to Phoebe that all people are selfish. And I tend to agree with him:


Anything you do that makes you feel good is selfish, so all you couples who have kids you are selfish, let a woman (or a man) who wants to have a kid be selfish too.

Brandon Tartikoff

I recently found out it has been 10 years to the day that Brandon Tartikoff died. For you non-tv loving watchers, who do not pay attention to who runs what...he was the head of NBC's entertainment division mainly in the 1980's.

NBC was in it's worst shape during that time and he turned the network around and ended up with five shows in the Nielsen top 10 before he left the position in 1991. He brought many great shows to the network and here are some: Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, ALF, Family Ties, The Cosby Show, Cheers, Miami Vice, The Golden Girls, Knight Rider, The A-Team, St. Elsewhere, Night Court, Highway to Heaven, Matlock, Remington Steele, A Different World, 227 and Empty Nest.<----Thanks for that Wiki!

He also helped develop Punky Brewster, so very awesome:


NBC desperately needs another turnaround, will Ben Silverman be able to do it?

Really though, my main reason for letting you all know about Brandon Tartikoff is the simple fact that I wanted to put this clip up:


That was one of my favorite episodes of Saved By The Bell. The episode had some really good cheese.

And to end, I hope you all remember: "There's no hope with dope!" Seriously, this message is the reason I never did drugs :).

What's Your Job?

Do not ask me this right now because it isn't anything exciting. It is like trying to explain Chandler Bing's job(the non-advertising one) on FRIENDS. I pretty much end up saying this about my job:



And if you were in a big betting game and had to answer "What is Chrissy's job?" you would have Monica and Rachel's reaction and have no apartment, but the birds would stay!:

Fast forward to the last minute if that is all you want to see:

When Nothing Is On

When you do not have uber cable, you are mainly on the internet with some whatever show on. Well, my whatever show was "America's Got Talent". And since the person that won was a ventriloquist, I decided to put up a video of a ventriloquist that I enjoyed watching when I was like 10.

Here is Shari Lewis with Lamb Chop's Play-Along:



Oh, and who didn't sing this song?

The Wonder Years

This show is on every week day on the ION (used to be PAX) station. The show always makes me smile and nostalgic whenever I watch it. I really wish it would come out on DVD with all the original music (because really the music is majorly important). Anyway the clip episode "Looking Back" was on tonight and I really liked the ending montage. Here it is, enjoy!:

Who Hates Clowns?

I do! I do!

I watched the latest episode of General Hospital: Night Shift (it's bad, but I continue to watch) last night and I didn't appreciate the crazy clown that had the sympton of uncontrollable laughter. I did find it funny that the character, Spinelli, had the same reaction I would have had.

Might want to fast forward like two minutes to see what I mean:


I have never really liked clowns but ever since I saw It I just can't ::shudder:: I just can't look at them without my skin crawling!

If horror movies scare you, you might not want to view this:


It is only 37 seconds but it scares me to death! You know what is really sick though I have seen the movie twice and actually want to see it again. Man, there were so many things I was terrified to do by myself after seeing that movie.

On a lighter note, I found this interview of Stephen King talking about his addiction to youtube.



I love Stephen King books, but it is going to take me awhile to read "It".

Oh and if I ever meet Ross the Intern I will never be able to step foot in his home office .

So what is your deal with clowns?

One Reason You Should Watch "Friday Night Lights"

So I finally read Bricks Explode's The Top Ten Supporting Characters on Television and saw Jesse Plemons on the list. This led me to look up clips from the tv show "Friday Night Lights". Oh how I love this show and Jesse Plemons' character, Landry. He is a big reason why I watch. (My main reason though is Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton's fabulous chemistry.)

Anyway, back to Landry! The character has made me laugh so much. When he mentioned that he was forming a Christian speed metal band called Crucifictorious I was rolling on the floor, especially since he wanted to name the band Stigmatalingus. He was overruled though! If you do not know what Christian speed metal sounds like watch this clip and fast forward to the 4:26 mark:



And here is a great clip of Landry explaining to his friend, Matt, how to win his girlfriend, Julie, back. Umm, he might not want to take the advice...



NBC has moved Friday Night Lights to Fridays. Watch it!

Dealing With A Bully

Here are two very different shows that explain two very different ways in dealing with a bully at school.

First up from the new USA show "Burn Notice", Micheal ( Jeffrey Donovan ) teaches a young boy :



Next, from Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana", Roxy ( Frances Callier ) teaches Miley and Lilly:



Which teaching would you use?

I never had a problem with bullies in school. If I did I would have wanted to use Michael's tactics.

Let's See How This Goes

I sometimes spend way too many hours looking for/watching videos, mainly on youtube, so I decided to blog about the ones I like. Here it goes!

It is ten days until "High School Musical 2" hits the Disney channel! Yes, I am one of those who totally loved the first one. How can you not love a disney movie with awesome musical numbers? Here is my absolute favorite part of the show, enjoy:
