ANIMAL PLANET, A lot of Sitcoms, THE SIMPSONS, FRIENDS, THREE'S COMPANY, CHEERS, ALL IN THE FAMILY, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, SEINFELD, THE KING OF QUEENS, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, MY WIFE AND KIDS, NEWSRADIO, MY TWO DADS, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. Sketch comedy like THE STATE, THE BEN STILLER SHOW, MR SHOW, THE EDGE, SNL.

PHIL (I want you to get excited about your life!), THE A TEAM, HEAD OF THE CLASS, MOONLIGHTING, BJ AND THE BEAR, THE BRADY BUNCH, GET A LIFE. I also enjoy true life stories of celebrities, musicians, actors, actresses who had everything, pissed it all away and made a comeback after they kicked their habits and "straightened up"!
I guess the last few books I actually read were: Dirt: The Motley Crue Biography, some Stephen King novels, H.P. Lovecraft stories. I mostly read poetry publications, song lyrics, zines and music publications. I am heavily looking forward to reading the Lemmy biography. Lemmy is the man!
I think anyone who has the strength to be themselves regardless of what's considered "cool" or "acceptable" is a hero to an extent, and I salute those who stick to their guns and not let others dictate their actions, thoughts or interests! "I just believe in myself 'cause no-one else is true" -from Under the Sun / Every Day Comes and Goes by the immortal Black Sabbath. In specific areas I guess the following would apply: MUSIC - Tony Iommi (The dude didn't even have real fingertips, and NOBODY can match his finesse or style, not then, not now, not EVER!) FILM - Robert DeNiro (A master of any role he undertakes. I know most have seen GOODFELLAS, but has anyone seen AWAKENINGS?) LITERATURE - H.P. Lovecraft (He actually SAW the grotesque beings he wrote about in his dreams! To him it was NOT fiction!) LIFE - My father, Stephen J. Murphy (A true example of perseverance in a world of adversity and turmoil! An icon of Iron Irish will!!!) Individuality IS strength. These are my heroes.
