Good, Better, Best TV

Well, Can you blame a person for wanting to relax and watch a movie or some TV this Holiday season with the weather the way it has been. I would like for you to weigh in and tell me how my list is wrong.

REALLY GOOD TV SHOWS
--TOP 10 LIST AND SOME OF THEIR LATEST EPISODES-

10. LOST


9. SCRUBS


8. PUSHING DAISIES


7. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA


6. THE MENTALIST
CBS hates the world and so it is really hard to view the episodes without selling your soul to some virus maker.

5. LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN


4. FRINGE


3. LIFE


2. 24


1. THE OFFICE


HONORABLE MENTION: BOSTON LEGAL, 30 ROCK, MY NAME IS EARL, LAW AND ORDER, HEROS (EXCLUDING SEASON 2), HOUSE, THE SIMPSONS,

SHOWS THAT ARE NOT ON BUT STILL REALLY GOOD SHOW: Seinfeld, Arrested Development, (Could use some help on this one)

--TOP TEN WORST TELEVISION SHOWS--
10. ER- I'm so glad it is finally over. Talk about a great show that has been drained of all humanity and "goodness". Plus, George Clooney was so dreamy.

9. CRUSOE - Feels like NBC dragged up an old mini series and added a pinch of affirmative action.

8. BIG BROTHER - Isn't the whole series about telling yourself, "I'm not like them, I'm not like them." Well, Are you?

7. KNIGHT RIDER - WHEN YOU ARE MESSING WITH THE HOFF THEN YOU GOT PROBLEMS.

6. 90210 - Don't you wish that you could just magically flush everything the Spellings did down the crapper.

5. LIPSTICK JUNGLE - AS IF MEN DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH WOMEN. TALK ABOUT A KICK IN THE PRIVATES.

4. THE BACHELOR - Oh my freakin goodness. Add a kid and you have to want to yell, "Jerry!"

3. MOMMA'S BOYS - RYAN SEACREST...CAN YOU BE ANY MORE GAY!

2. LAST CALL WITH CARSON - MAN, REMEMBER THAT GUY WHO JUST SUCKED THE FUN AND LAUGHTER OUT OF A ROOM. THAT'S OUR LOCAL 13 YEAR OLD CHICK MAGNET.

1. THE BIGGEST LOSER - THE ONLY REASON I SHOULD CRY WATCHING THEM IS WHEN THEY CROWD IN LINE AT THE LOCAL BUFFET.

Adam Sandberg


Probably the best video made by SNL in the past few years.

SNL: MARY POPPINS


So funny. Which SNL is lacking of these days.

MAD TV: Irack


Possibly the funniest sketch I have seen in a long time. A tasteful look at the Bush Administration.

Dale Chihuly


The man. He did not start the movement but he did popularize it. His work is breathe taking. Here is a short video about him and his work.

Coldplay: "Violet Hill"


This is not the best version. Here is the URL for the better video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBeAP8EZ9Lc
Anyways, you may enjoy "Viva La Vida" better but I love...love "Violet Hill"

Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong: "The Blues are Brewing"


Wow! Billie has an amazing voice. This is not my favorite song but it sure is nice to see Louis at the same time.

Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement address in 2005


This man has true ability and vision. I hope one day to have accomplished half of what this man has.

Ella Fitzgerald: One Note Samba (Scat singing) 1969


One of my favorite female artists of all time!

Silversun Pickups: "Lazy Eye"

Silversun Pickups: "Little Lovers so Polite"

Kaisercartel: "Oh No"
