Television:
I don't watch much anymore, but most of Adult Swim, The Apprentice, SNL, Chapelle's Show (when it was on) and The Simpsons -- everything else is pretty much garbage. I liked The Wonder Years. And I love shows on DVD -- Felicity, Scrubs, Curb Your Enthusiasm ... I love makeover shows and Project Runway. Dear God, I have moved out of New York and to a blue-collar city -- please forgive me for watching more TV.
