I realize ranting about this is completely useless, futile, and a waste of time and energy... BUT 30 ROCK DOES NOT BELONG ON TV LAND! IT IS NOT A CLASSIC SERIES! IT JUST WENT OFF THE AIR, IT'S ALREADY ON THREE DIFFERENT CHANNELS, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE ON ANOTHER CHANNEL, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT'S...

Getting back on the subject of M*A*S*H, that's another thing that bothered me too, was how they completely did away with any kind of music scoring by Season Eight, and with the show turning into the dark and depressing preach-fest that it was by then, the lack of music and the considerably toned...

The way I heard it, the show did poorly in the ratings, and was canceled after a second season because of the lack of a laugh track.

Admittedly, sometimes, I like to pretend that the ATC era doesn't even exist. Hey, you can't look at me like that, many's a Muppet Freak here who like to pretend MFS, KSY, and MWoO don't exist.

Why is GLEE now considered the "trope maker" for the loser sign? That's been existence DECADES before GLEE ever came out!

Being an opening act apparently has brought some people to attention... apparently, Sid Krofft used to be an opening act for Judy Garland early in his career. I was kind of exaggerating... but, like, when I saw Bob Newhart, for example, the opening act was a local musical duo, and they did like...

Opening acts... I mean, do we even really need 'em? They say the opening act is the act that warms the audience up... why, exactly, do we need to be warmed up? Are we getting ready for some intense exercize regimens or something? They also say that opening acts are there to get the audience...

This is the part of switching back that I don't like: you ALWAYS have to readjust to time change, every single time, and it takes a little while to get used to it again. Today's been a really dull day, and it feels like it's lasted forever: it was dark by 6:30 (which I do like), however, since...

Some shows have managed to withstand the test of time without a laugh track, but laughter is social, and it's contagious, which is one of the reason why many shows began to use laugh tracks in the first place: it's easier for people to laugh at something when they're with other people, as...

When that's the case, it's the fault of the writers/producers: that was an issue in the earlier days, because they didn't think to take into consideration to time scripts to allow for the laugh track to play without stepping on dialogue, which they did get better at over the years, as previously...

Have you ever wondered what it's really like to have a banana in your shoe? Will you really know what a day is?

That may not be bad... I'm reminded of that banana-flavored Cheerio's, that was pretty good.

The Archive of American Television. I mean, they spend time with icons and moguls who have made major contribution to the television landscape over the years, tape very lengthily and incredibly insightful interviews with these people... then they delete them for no reason. Incredibly...

Ya know, you've got Count Chocula, and you've got Franken Berry... it seems to me there should be a cereal for the third common flavor for various different forms of treats: vanilla. The problem is thinking of a logical mascot for it... they can't use a ghost, since that's already Boo Berry...

Just to provide an example of how interesting the longevity of certain laughs can be, have a listen here... First, take a look at this clip from HOGAN'S HEROES in 1967 (at 2:47, after Hogan says, "Pick up the phone and say it's the wrong number") Now, take a peak at the Christmas episode of...

That doesn't usually happen with laugh track shows, but with live shows, yes, that can be a bother... OR, whenever a character enters the scene, and is met with thunderous applause. SANFORD AND SON is probably the worst example of this: anytime any of the actors enter the scene, each one of...

I can understand that, and I was kind of the same way at first, but the more classic sitcoms my parents introduced me to growing up, the more I noticed the laugh track, and the more it fascinated me (especially when it came to shows where including a laugh track seemed odd, like animated series...

I went to a restaurant downtown for dinner tonight, and I kid you not, practically every single waitress working there was dressed up like a hooker. And no, it wasn't Hooters.
