Modern Family...

Surprisingly, Modern Family was really good in the pilot, so I suggest you give it a chance. Alison thought it was okay, but then again, she married me, so can we really trust her opinion?

PetsMart conversation...

Interesting day at PetsMart yesterday. First, walking in, some psycho lady in a car was hounding some lady trying to walk her dog away from the store with tons of questions about the dog (what's his name? what kind is it? what kind of food does he like? I like that kind too.) which made everyone in the area (me) uncomfortable.

So, I went inside and went to the cat food section to get food (again) to feed our enormous (and other, regular sized) cat.

I brought it up to the register and some lispy chick is working the register. Our "awkward checkout conversation" went like this:

PetsMart Lady: Ahh...so, who are you shopping for today?
Brent: stares in silence, not knowing what that question meant
Brent: Ummm...me.
PetsMart Lady: I meant how many cats do you have.
Brent: How in the world would I get "how many cats do I have" from "who are you shopping for today"? It would be like me asking you if you like apples and then expecting you to give me fifteen dollars. Why didn't you just ask how many cats I had if you were interested? Or, if you were trying to make small-talk, why didn't you just stare at the register instead, like I was doing? Why don't you make sense? This is whack! Whackness!
PetsMart Lady: I have three cats.
Brent: Seems right...

Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place

So, I've been trying to find the DVD's for this show for years. Years. And now, the China bootleg companies have finally got it to a reasonable price for the whole series ($39.99) but they want $25 shipping. And I can't use paypal, so this fly-by-night company will have my credit card info and, I'm sure, steal my identity.

So, I decided to look on eBay and see if they had them, so I could use paypal. They didn't, but they did have this shirt from the show..It seems to me that this would probably be taken the wrong way, as most haven't heard of the show, or it at least wouldn't be the first thing they think about...

As Petredis would say, "You are either a fan of a great comedy, or finger cuffs."

I don't know what that means, but I assume, ewwwwwww...

I could probably watch this 100 times...

I can't imagine that run towards the hole after he made it...

George Wendt!

So, last Friday, George Wendt was doing a live chat on Cincinnati.com and Sikes and I tried to get our questions answered.

Well...one of us did, as you can see in the picture:

I thought my question was pretty good, but apparently the moderator didn't:

When you were on Cheers, did you think they should have thought about changing the setting? What about a rec room? Or a community center? Because people do meet in places besides a bar...

I mean...it's true. Quit ducking the facts Wendt!

Guh?

Since when are convicted murderers taken on field trips to county fairs? I guess they couldn't take him to the waterpark because he'd forgotten his swimtrunks?

Aw man...

I was watching TV yesterday when a commercial came on for that douche Michael Moore's new movie and I found out it's coming out on October 2nd...my birthday. Man...that's the third time that loser will have ruined my birthday...

Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place?

So, from my post yesterday, I decided to contact WETV and see if perhaps they are planning on bringing back Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place and perhaps, you know, get some viewers for their fly-by-night TV station.

So, I nicely sent them this e-mail:

Hi -

A couple years ago, WE played 2 Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place. Then, all of the sudden, it was gone. I keep checking back on a monthly basis, hoping it's brought back in syndication because I love that show and WE was the only place I could get it. Are there any plans to bring the re-runs of it back? If there were, I'm sure the rating period between 2-3 pm (or the TV wasteland as I like to call it) would increase threefold!

Thank you for your time.

Brent Nelson

I figured there was no harm in asking if they were going to bring back one of the top five TV shows of all time. I mean, I'm just trying to help them out by helping me out.

This was the very terse response they gave me:

This show is not returning to WE tv.

Wow...I mean:

No explanation at all?
No thanks for the suggestion but we will not be doing that at this time?
No correctly identifying your evanescent station correctly?

I guess besides terrible programming, they've taught their customer service people how to respond in the most pithy manner possible. Maybe they get charged by the word on their e-mail?

Doesn't matter...it's not like anyone watches that channel anyway...

TV, why have you foresaken me???

What is the deal? Seriously...WHERE ARE THE NEW SHOWS??

I remember when September meant sweeps month and you knew that every night, you'd be sitting down to some good NEW mind-numbing goodness. Now?

NOW?

I'm sitting there watching re-runs of How I Met Your Mother and rocking back and forth like Amy Winehouse after being sober for three days.

I know a couple new episodes of some shows are coming up in the next week. Great...but it's friggin' mid-September! Get the net!

The least that could happen is WE bringing back re-runs of Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place...I think that would tide everyone over until the new episodes of shows start...

More "stuffed" crust?

So, as people know, I love stuffed crust pizza. And now, Pizza Hut has come out with their new pan stuffed crust. Notice anything wrong with it?

That's right...you can SEE the cheese that's "stuffed" in the "crust"! This is the definition of not stuffed crust. Isn't this just extra cheese? I think it's weird that they don't mention that the pizza in the picture also has:

pepperoni stuffed crust and
sauce stuffed crust

Since, apparently, anything they put on top of the pizza is now considered stuffed. Pizza Hut...you are not fooling me. You regular stuffed crust is bleh and this...this is not even stuffed crust. I hate you Pizza Hut. You are the worst. You are worse than the Gosselin's. Terrible.

Come back Little Caesar's Stuffed Crust!!!
