Television:

The Colbert Report, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman Program, The Simpsons, South Park, King of the Hill, Mad TV, [my ashamed to admit I enjoy 'em category: Celebrity Rehab & Project Runway---shhhh--don't tell anybody], MythBusters... Can I include stuff no longer (or not often enough rerun) on TV? Too bad, I will anyway: Monty Python's Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, SCTV, Chapelle's Show, In Treatment, The Flavor of Love, I Love New York, the Banana Splits, Nick at Night kinda stuff like: Taxi, Barney Miller, The Odd Couple, Soap, Fernwood Tonight (wish they'd show reruns of that, or put out a DVD set), Pee Wee's Playhouse, Soul Train, Drum Talk (this was a surreal public access cable show in NYC--you're in the fortunate few if you ever saw it). Also good old movies on Turner Classic Movies, bad old movies that are fun to laugh at, horror movies--bad and good...

Heroes:

Louis Armstrong. Norm Cash was when I was a kid (if you know that name you are either old like me, or a baseball/Tigers geek, or both).
