TV Shows I Enjoy!

Hello and good Monday all! So I know you have all be wondering...what does Andrew watch on TV? Well I am about to tell you. I watch a variety of things on television: sports, sitcoms, drama, action. Here is a small sample of the things I like to watch and suggest you watch too:


Two And A Half Men: Great show, smart, funny, has some sexy women on it and it's crude. What's not to love? Charlie Sheen plays himself like nobody else could and Jon Cryer is very good as the Felix Unger-type offset. Well done.

(Sample Clip:
Charlie: How did you get in my house?
Alan: Okay, Charlie, the key in the fake rock only works if it's among other rocks, not-- not sitting on your welcome mat!
Charlie: Excuse me, but if you put the fake rock in with a bunch of other rocks, it's impossible to find when you're drunk. )

How I Met Your Mother: A show that will last forever! Even in the weak episodes there is something that you will pee yourself over. This is the show that brought Neil Patrick Harris (NPH to his friends) back to the spotlight. Ted, Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney are all great characters and it is very well written.

(sample clip:
Barney: Look, our forefathers died for the "pursuit of happiness," okay? Not for the "sit around and wait of happiness." Now if you want, we can go to the same bar, drink the same beer, talk to the same people every day or you can lick the Liberty Bell. You can grab life by the crack and lick the crap out of it.
Taxi driver: That was beautiful, man)

SpongeBob Squarepants: Delightfully irreverent, subversive and not really meant for children from what I can see. The relationship between Spongebob and Patrick the Starfish runs the gambit of friends, enemies and same-sex partners without missing a beat. There is a character for every personality and the humour is first rate!

(sample clip:
SpongeBob: Good morning to you, sir. Would you care to blow a bubble?
Patrick: Hmm. How much is it?
SpongeBob: Only a quarter.
Patrick: Sounds reasonable. [hesitates a moment, then speaks in an embarrassed whisper] Er...I'm going to need to borrow a quarter.
SpongeBob: Sure thing, Patrick. [hands him a quarter]
Patrick: Ah, one quarter!
[Patrick gives the quarter to Spongebob. Spongebob looks at it a moment, then bites it to make sure it's genuine, then pockets it]
SpongeBob: Thank you!)

Cheers: Ahhhh...the classic Cheers. Sam, Dianne, Cliffy, Norm, Carla, Coach, Woody, Frasier and Rebecca. This was the classic show. Started off low in the ratings but built with a head of steam till it was at the top of the charts. The tension between Sam and Dianne and then between Sam and Rebecca was almost as thick as the sexual tension between Norm and Cliffy! Some people have compared me with Cliff but I don't see it...I see myself as more of a Sam archetype. Oh well.

(sample clip:
Coach: [about Sam] I never realized what a brain he is. I study all the time — he sleeps in the classroom. He never takes a note and still he gets the great grades. No wonder he's Miss Purdy's favorite.
Diane: Miss Purdy?
Coach: Yeah, our beautiful school-teacher.
Diane: And Sam is her favorite?
Coach: Well, uh, I can't say that; but, uh, Sam's the only one I ever saw her kiss.
Diane: They kiss?
Coach: Yeah. I saw them smoochin' in the parking lot. I was putting up a notice there on the bulletin board.
Diane: With probing tongues?
Coach: No, Diane. With a thumbtack and my thumb.)

America's Funniest Home Videos: Two words: Crotch Shots!



Night Court: Along with Cheers just the classic 80's television sitcom. The difference between the two shows was that Night Court had a faster decline to jumping the shark. For me it was when Dan Fielding became good. Just wrong, wrong, wrong. Also, the finally when Bull was beamed up into the alien spaceship? WTF?? Anyway, it was still worth it for Christine's sweater puppies anyway. I mean they were always covered up, but you knew how big they were!

(sample clip:
Dan Fielding: Ladies! Ladies! At least have the decency to oil up first!)
