But I sure...So many of these we don't get here. But I sure feel deprived that we do not get <em>Father Ted</em>! It looks great, just the kind of show that we need in stressful times. <em>Frasier</em> is one of my all-time favorites, a real classic and I watch the syndications while wishing it were still on the air giving us new material weekly. I just have not gotten into <em>Big Bang</em>, in part because my husband does not like it. The bits I've seen tickled me, though. <br />I like <em>30 Rock</em> a lot as it always brings a big laugh. But my favorite new sitcom is <em>Modern Family</em>. Do you get it over there? It keeps me in stitches and I just roar!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094379750831310333.post-29656102961037188052011-03-13T17:18:30.393-07:002011-03-13T17:18:30.393-07:00As the inter-world gets smaller, I look forward to...As the inter-world gets smaller, I look forward to watching these some day.

But for some reason it just makes me sad because the last season we watched all the way through was WWI - and that scene of all those guys getting ready to charge makes me cry. See, I'm crying now! Gah!<br /><br />I liked Frazier too, but I did want to bang those two brothers' heads together on a regular basis...<br /><br />And that's it - I've never watched any of the others (except the Simpsons sometimes).

However, because my TV's off most of the time, I've only ever seen one episode of The Big Bang Theory. I did watch a few episodes of Black Books while visiting friends, and I'll second Argent and Titus on that.<br /><br />Ah, writer's block... given my record, I won't even consider offering advice. But I always enjoy what you've written.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094379750831310333.post-33786757118283780632011-03-02T14:56:22.158-08:002011-03-02T14:56:22.158-08:00Some yes (Father Ted!
