NBC's Must See TV Thursday
NBC's Must See Tv Thursday , defined the 90s and helped NBC get more ratings and build Thursday nights again once Cheers left back in 93 . Then , On Sept 22 , 1994 , my Birthday!!! ... a little show .. called Friends came on the air , and changed NBC Comedy forever . At the time, every star at that show were unknowns , yet who couldn't help but love Joey , Ross , Rachel , Pheobe , Monica , and Chandler. The show was a huge hit that first season , and continued to air on NBC for 10 Seasons. So Here are the Best Must - See Tv Thursday Shows from Friends To Present Shows ... NBC's Must See TV has always been a part of my TV week .. And in a way ... it's a great way to start the weekend .
1. Friends- 1994-2004 - One of the best Sitcoms ever , this show was the show everyone talked about on Friday Mornings . It was the Watercooler Show . How can you forget The Rachel?? ... Ross's Love for Rachel .. Joey's Goofyness... and the way Chandler talked.. always made me laugh. This show never gets old . With 10 seasons , this show never dissapointed me . What was so great about this show , was the chemistry of the six . These six actors , truly were great Friends . Not once throughout its 10 year run did any of them want more money than someone else . They all wanted to be paid the same salary . That kind of stuff, doesn't happen in Hollywood anymore. Jennifer Aniston is still great Friends with Courtney Cox , and they still all keep in touch today . I was always amazed at how the six of them , really did get along on screen and off . You could really tell when one of them went on a Talkshow and talked about their cast members and how they truly did love one another . Their bond , is one of the most UnHollywood Like Bonds in TV History . I saw the set , on the WB Tour last summer , sat on the Central Perk couch .. and literraly was in Heaven . It was pretty cool . It looked exactly the same as it did when the show was on TV .
Halfway through the show's run , Matthew Perry had some trouble with Drugs .. you could tell because he looked kinda run-down , and overweight during that period of time . Yet , everyone in the cast .. wanted to do everything they could to help him . NOONE IN HOLLYWOOD .. would pull that today . Hollywood now , is completly different than it was back in 04 . Today , people would spread rumors to the press .. to make him look bad . Not these guys , they were truly a great friend to Perry . I will never ever stop loving this show . It is one of the best sitcoms in NBC History .

Some Quick Breaking News
First Off , read 2 days ago that NBC has tapped Micheal Phelps to Host the SNL Season Premiere on Sept 13! HELLS YA . Also , Musical Guest will be Lil Wayne . Only Because , NBC said, " We wanted someone who was on Micheal's IPOD during the Olympics, to be on the show" . Wow , thats a dumb reason . Either way , it should be a good premiere . Also , TV Guide reported that he is also going to have a quick cameo in an upcoming episode of Entourage . The cast and crew will be filming some scenes in NYC during the same time Micheal will be in town during rehearsals for SNL . No date has been decided when the episode will be airing . I'll keep ya posted.
Second , This is somewhat old news , but my boy , Luke Perry , is going to be on Law And Order: Criminal Intent , in an episode that will be airing in October . Luke Perry is the man , very underrated as an actor , it should be an interesting show for him to guest on .
Until Then ,

TV Shows with Great Soundtracks .. not for composing Pt 2
3. Beverly Hills 90210 - This show not only was popular , but featured alot of artists during the college years of the show and not only their music , but had them perform it as well . The Cardigans , a very well -known Scotish Band , performed on the Season 7 Finale at Kelly's Grad Party . They even thanked them for so called " inviting " them to perform . It was pretty funny . Then the year before , The Goo Dolls performed Numerous Songs from their first album , so that was huge for them at the time , both the show and the band . The credits , had great shots of Beverly Hills and great music as well . Ace of Base , Dave Matthews Band , alot of REM , especially in the later years . REM's classic " Nightswimming " , off the Album " Automatic for the People" , played when Brandon left the show during season 8 . That song I heard back when it came out was always the song to play at college parties . And It was always played as the last song , so in a way , it made sense to play that song . Considering he was leaving the show that started his career in Hollywood .
4. Entourage - Entourage .. is the best show on HBO right now . It's funny , and the music makes it . At first I was speketical , ya know . With Mark Whalberg Exec . Producing . I admit the first season , was just ok , but after that it's been sick as hell ever since . The music is all Rap , and it fits in well with the whole Hollywood Lifestyle of the show . When the credits roll , they play all that really gangster rap , and half of it is Underground , yet it works . They made Saigon a star , he's everywhere now . It's crazy how music can make a show and the artist more popular and rememerable . I can't wait for season 5 to start .

MTV's Got Good Shows?? Part 2
5. Celebrity Deathmatch - 1998-2007 - Celebrity Deathmatch . What can I say ? Has watching Clay Animated Celebrities be hilirious or what . The concept is simple , pop culture fights , expect real people its clay . Those two announcers were great . I remember Johnny was the funnier of the two . They came up with such great matchups . Especially the one with Gwentyh Paltrow . At the time , Shakespeare in Love was popular movie . So they made fun of her about that . After 4 Seasons , MTV took it off the air , probably due to the many complaints from celebrities they portrayed on the show . Then , in 2006 , it was Reborn on MTV2 and ran for another 2 seasons . It didn't do well. It wasn't funny , I didn't even bother watching . Either way , I give MTV props , it was a pretty graphic show for their standards , and by airing that show , they pissed off alot of people.
6. 8th and Ocean - 2006- This show was extremely underrated when it came out . The girls were hot , It Wasn't Fake , for MTV , and it was interesting to see how Modeling really is tougher than most people think . These kids were really just trying to make it through the modeling business , expect they were being filmed at the same time . It only lasted like 10 eps or so . For a while , MTV talked about another season . But then I think , they got too involved with the Hills , and forgot about it . The best character on the show was Whitney , she was this short Burnette girl from the south who had a really god personality , great body , the only problem was , her parents were extremely religious . Her dad didn't want her body being expolited . I understand that point , but if you're gonna do an MTV Show , that's what comes with it you idiot!

MTV's Got Good Shows??
MTV these past couple of years , has been slumping in some departments of their network . But , there was a point in time , where their programming back in the early 90's up till about 2002 -03 , where music ruled , TRL was one of their top rated shows , and their was no such thing as alot of reality TV on MTV's airwaves . So I decided , to make a list of shows that were probably some of the most overlooked shows MTV has ever aired , yet they are some of their best ever .
1. Singled Out - 1996 - This show was MTV's first Dating Show . This show started Jenny Mcartney's career . This show was on every weekday , at 3 or 330 if I remember correctly . It was an entertaining show to watch . Jenny Mcartney made it funny because she would always rip on the contestants . The whole point of the show was they took Single College Kids and MTV would set them up on Dates . They had a few hosts througout the show's run . There had to be 2 or 3 hosts at most . But Mcartney was the best . She was hot , ripped on the contestants, and made the show funny to watch every day . MTV should bring this show back , because most of their dating shows now are so fake it's not even funny .
2 . The Real World- 1992- Present - Ah , The Real World . One of my All - Time Fav Shows . Yes , You might think it's all fake , some of it might be , but it is the first as everyone knows , reality show on Television . The First Cast in New York , was differently unique . I have seen in interviews and read , that when the castmembers got into the house , they had no idea that this was gonna be such a hit , and in the process they made MTV history . The Real World is MTV's longest running show , with Season 21 in production as we speak , The MTV crew is in Brookyln shooting. Suppposively , RW Brooklyn is premiering in January . I love this show alot actually , even though it can be over the top , I honestly , pathethic as this might sound , I've seen almost every season . I really hope they never do any more international cities , because with those seasons , it's either hit or miss. Anyone remember RW London back in ' 95?? Ya, I didn't think so , even MTV trys to forget that ever aired.
Fav RW Seasons : RW Miami , RW San Diego , RW Back to NY , RW Hollywood , RW Las Vegas , RW Seattle( Why doesn't MTV air this one anymore in reruns??) , RW Boston , RW San Fransisco .
3. Laguna Beach - 2004-2006- Oh LAGUNA ! .. Love this one .. The Debut of the Beautiful LC .. Of Course .. Like all MTV reality shows , has its fake stuff , but watching this show , you kinda forget about it . What I like and still do about this show , is that the characters are relatable . At your High School , there was a Stephen Colleti , there was a Kristen .. There was an LC .. at some point in time . Hell , you could have been one of them in some shape or form. The drama was always the best part of this show . That coniving Kristen . Even Heidi was in this show .. you might not have recongnized her , because she looked crap half the time . AHH POOR BABY . Either way, the fans always loved , the relationship between Stephen and LC . It was one of those TV relationships that you always rooted for the two of them to get together again , but it never panned out . She was always, and still is , my favorite from that show . Also , how can we forget Talan .. what a dumb name .. yet that guy was cool as hell . Every time I watched , I literally was like .. what a cool dude .. he was kind , genorous , and to be honest one of the few MTV characters that really didn't let fame go to his head like some of the others did .
Fav Laguna Eps : The Bonfire , The Last Dance , Graduation Day , Dunzo , Winter Formal, Don't Hate The Game , Our Last Prom, I Saw You Kiss Her .
It is one of my all time Guilty Pleasure shows ... but i can't help not to like this one.
4. Road Rules - 1994 - Present - The spinoff and another show that Bunim/Murray Productions created . Now , it wasn't as popular and never really did get as much credit at MTV as The Real World has , but it is still a cool show . They get 6 kids or so put them in an RV and film them traveling for 3 months . In the first few seasons, people were watching . After about season 11-12 , it took a couple year absence , came back , and totally bombed . Ever since , it hasn't recovered . The best season I think was RR : Semester at Sea. It was cool because these cast members came from all different countries and lived on a cruise ship for 2 months or so . That season was the debut of the ever popular Veronica , and all those fights that came with that season , I'll never forget . I think I liked the fact that that season they weren't on an RV and they did something different with the show , and it worked.

The Hills .. What a Great Start .. DOUBLE RECAP
WOW .. what a start to S4 For The Hills Hotties . That Damn LC .. she always looks awesome week by week .. I have to say that Premiere was amazing .. The music .. The drama it was perfect . Let's start with this . Who felt bad for Lo?? I literally felt so bad the entire time watching it . It's like she was trying to rekindle issues with Audrina , yet Audrina was like .. FRIG YOU .. basically and gave her attitude and told her .. " We can never be friends" .. Harsh ... She doesn't deserve that .. I've always thought Lo was one of the nicest girls to come out of these reality shows .. She isn't fake like Heidi and Spencer . She actually has a heart . If I was Lo , I'd be like Screw you .. and I'd do whatever possible to get the girl out of my CASA . If you all remember correctly the Orig . Roomates was always LO AND LC .. not The 3 of them .
So in a way , Audrina deserves to get her own place .. and move out . It'd be better off , and it's gonna happen . My prediction give it till Episode 5 . By then the show is in full swing , and that'll give them time to fight a little . And then She'll go . Anyone else with me??
Let's move along to this week's episode ....The best part of this week's episode .. had to be when as soon as Heidi and Spencer came in .. EVERYONE .. was like .. BYE BYE .. That was hysterical . They really are that mean . Lauren and Lo left .. Brody .. who Honestly .. is the only guy with brains on this show ... said .. " I don't need this drama , I want to have fun and have a good time " . HMMM .. interesting . I thought it was great that everyone really does hate their guts .. and the problem .. isn't LC or Lo .. its the Evil Duo .. HEIDI AND SPENCER .. I rest my case .
Lastly , I loved the whole talk between Spencer and Stephanie ... " I DON'T WANT YOU ROLLING AROUND WITH THAT POSSE" .. WHAT A FAG .. Who says stuff like that?? Like really .. MTV should make a book .. THE BEST SPENCER AND HEIDI QUOTES .. because they've made their own language thoroughout the course of the show .
Until Next Monday .. Well .. will it be on Labor day?? .. well .. either way ..
Gotta Love It .. Man Spencer Pisses me off ..

ABC Family's Best Show .. GREEK
I admit I started watching this show a little late , yet I caught up with what I missed pretty quick . With most of ABC Family's Original shows these days are really childish , and get too much credit from critics . Greek Doesn't . What I like most about this show is that it makes Greek Life look fun , yet realistic at the same time. None of those cliches about Greek Life , for the most part its stays true to Greek Life. I love the diverse characters throughout the show as well . You have your ditzy girls here and there , but every now and then they do something that will usually shock the audience watching . My favorite character though is Cappie . He acts as though he doesn't care about the other pledges , mostly Rusty , but in a way he does . He is one of those guys that acts like your typical fraternity guy , yet deep down he has a heart. Yet , he has a hard time showing it sometime.
This show is by far one of the best College shows ever . It in a way reminds me of Undeclared , one of Judd Apatow's first projects . Like I said before its realistic , belivable and fun , all at the same time . These characters truly have heart. And it shows. Another likeable character is Rusty's older sister , Casey . She's the President of ZBZ , yet alot of characters on the show , give her crap just because she's the president . Yet, she's the nicest one on the show . She doesn't do bad things to the other ZBZ ers and she treats everyone with respect . That's my kinda girl .
The funny thing about Casey is , in real life , she 's Kelsey Grammer's Daughter . She looks nothing like him . I didn't believe it at first , yet after finding her bio , it said , Daughter of Kelsey Grammer . Crazy Huh? The show is back starting Tonight at 9 at on its new night and time , which works better for the show . I thought Mondays at 10 pm was not a good fit for the show .
In conclusion , this is the only orig. show on ABC Family that isn't overhyped , and is actually enjoyable . For Real, Does anyone watch That Middleman show .. the one about the superhero or some crap. It looks like they are making fun of the superhero genre by creating that show . Either way , Greek deserves a chance if you've never seen it . I gave it a chance , and have enjoyed it since .
Until Later ,

This show is by far one of the best College shows ever . It in a way reminds me of Undeclared , one of Judd Apatow's first projects . Like I said before its realistic , belivable and fun , all at the same time . These characters truly have heart. And it shows. Another likeable character is Rusty's older sister , Casey . She's the President of ZBZ , yet alot of characters on the show , give her crap just because she's the president . Yet, she's the nicest one on the show . She doesn't do bad things to the other ZBZ ers and she treats everyone with respect . That's my kinda girl .

TV shows with Great Soundtracks.. Not for Composing Music!
There are many shows that have been on Network Television and cable that have great soundtracks , and for some artists the shows have given them a chance to really make it big in the music industry . So here are the shows... Enjoy .
1. One Tree Hill - 2003 - Present - I have never been a fan of One Tree Hill , only because Chad Micheal Murray annoys me . Either way , the only thing I like , they have good music . Their theme song , by Gavin Degraw is defnitely catchy . And because of that song , it def . made him alot more popular . Before that song , not alot of people knew who he was at all . This show helped his career alot . The show has released a numerous amount of Soundtrack throughout the years . Three to be exact . The show has also launched the career of another artist . Tyler Hilton. I've never heard his music but I hear good things . The show has also helped the careers of Jack's Mannequin , Haley James Scott, and Nada Surf , to name a few . By putting these artists on their show , it gets their name out , and what better way to put your name out than on The CW's biggest show.
2.The O.C. - 2003-2007- I love the O.C. , it's one of those shows to me , once you start watching it , you get addicted . One of the best things about the show is the music that comes with it . Adam Brody's character Seth , is a big music lover , and he loves great music . Rooney, Ben Folds, Death Cab , to name a few . This show , made Rooney famous. At the time , their album just came out and it was a huge success for them to be on the show on the Season 1 Episode " The Third Wheel" . If it wasn't for that episode, they wouldn't be popular today .
Part 2 Coming Soon
Until Then ,

MTV's 25th VMA's and Why It's gonna suck hardcore
The VMA's one of MTV's biggest events of the year , has always drawn big stars and performers year after year , but this year , one question ... what the hell are they thinking ???... Russell Brand ... as the host??? .. ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME!!!! .. Why ?? .. He's only been in a few movies ... and one of the only reasons MTV picked him because he worked at MTV UK .... give me a break . HMM ... Seth Rogan .. he has a movie coming out ... This October , or any other friggin star . BUT RUSSELL Brand !! You know that half of the MTV Audience will be like who is this guy? Maybe if they got a decent host it be alot more entertaining .
The hosts for the VMA's have always been good . But ever since about 2005 or 2006 , it has started to go downhill . Last years was a diaster of a show , Who couldn't forget Britney's Spears Horrible perfomance to open 07's broadcast . The Girl , does not deserve a second chance . If you mess up that bad , you shouldn't be alllowed to perform on an MTV Awards show for like 3 years . Not one ! As I Said before , what are they thinking??? Her Kiss , or the kiss heard around the world , back at the 03 Show, was one of the best VMA's of all time , to bring her back after last year's debacle and all the bad press that came with it , is not worth it for her and anyone at MTV .
Next , these performers are the worst I've seen in a lonnng time . THE FRIGGIN JONAS FREAKS .. I mean brothers ... give me a break .. Lil Wayne ... so soo .. But MTV is selling out with those Jonas dorks . They are a fad , that will go away in a year or so . Also , Lil Wayne is good , but it's a typical MTV move . Lately , all MTV does it put performers on that will make them get the bucks and viewers. No matter how bad or stupid , they will air their crap . For example .. THE JONAS DORKS .. that will be my new nickname for them .. they give my state of NJ a horrible name . Now, if I was running the show , I would hire Natasha Bedingfield to perform , instead of some of these losers that are performing this year. She has had a good summer . She was on the finale of Degrassi , on the N , plus she had a hit with Pocketful of Sunshine. I swear to God , if MTV signs some EMO Band to the bill at the last minute ... aka some kind of Fallout Boy crap ... I will literally scream at the TV .
Lastly , I heard real briefly MTV was planning an NSYNC reunion for the 25th show. Wait , a good idea!!!??? About Time ! Will it happen?? Who Knows at this point . I read that they all agreed that they wanted to do a reunion yet , MTV hasn't offficaly confirmed it . I hope it happens , if anything it will be one of those surprise performances at the end of the show or something.
In conclusion , with a bad host and most of the performers being absolute losers , if this show is good , it will be a huge surprise . And I know for a fact , Britney Spears if she was smart , which she ain't , she will not PERFORM. Maybe for the '09 show it'll be a better show .

Best Nick Shows of the 90s.. Conclusion
7. Roundhouse - 1992-1994- Before there was All That , there was Roundhouse . Roundhouse was one of the first shows in the Nick's Snick , Saturday Night Lineup . This sketch comendy was different from All That , because even though it was a sketch comedy show , the whole point was to teach children a lesson through their comedy sketches . What was cool about this show too , the actors were all from different countries . There was even a girl from Austria! If I remember correctly , this show was on at 8:30 , right smack in the middle of Snick .
What really was touching about this show was the life of one its cast members . His name was Dominic Lucero , who before Roundhouse had a cameo in the Disney movie Newsies . He was diagonsed with Lymphatic Cancer , and had to leave the show , after the first season . He then appeared in the show's third season every now and then . Yet , every season his name and picture still appeared in the show's opening credits . In the last episode of Roundhouse , they ended the show with a " In Memory Of Dominic Lucero" , who died in Aug of 1994 . He was only 26 years old , he was supposed to have his 27th birthday that August of 94 .
I don't know why this show didn't last past 94 , Part of it could've been the death of Lucero , and part of it might have been that most of the producers on the show wanted it to end , and at this point , sad to say , is when Nick slowly started to go downhill .
In conclusion , Nick by 1999 or so really started to go downhill . Too many stupid cartoons , and not enough Live Action Comedys . Nick Back in the day, when I was growing up it was all about the Live Action Comedys. Not Friggin Rocket Power .. or Jimmy Gaytron .. whatever his last name is . Some of These shows especially Salute Your Shorts need to be realased on DVD , for the true Nick Fans , not for the " New" Fans of this generation of Nick .

The Hills: An MTV Pop Culture Phenomenon
Since its induction into Television a few years back , The Hills have changed MTV . The ratings are out of this world crazy , ruling Monday Nights at the 10 P.M. Slot . Each Season , it gets more and more over the top yet it still reigns suprememe at MTV. I admit , It's one of those guilty pleasure shows that you don't like to admit that you watch but you do anyway .
I know I do . You might be thinking , only girls watch The Hills . Nope . I Believe that anyone can watch any show on TV . Either way , what makes this show is the Drama , and the characters that come with it . You have Lauren , or " LC " , The Blonde , the girl you just want to cuddle with because she's just so friggin adorable . Then there's Audrina , The Rebel , The Girl who's Hot , and she knows it , yet loves to stir up trouble and makes the show that much more interesting . Finally , you have the villans , Heidi and Spencer . The characters you love to hate . They're coniving , outrageous , and just plain irritating . Yet , they keep you coming back on a weekly basis . This is MTV's reality show of the 00's Generation . No show on MTV history , reality or music realted , has succeded like the Hills has. No show has ruled magazine covers in the U.S. and abroad like they have .
I believe this season will be just as good as MTV promotes it to be . Bring on the Drama Baby , Hills Style . Team LC as the fans say , will reign the airwaves yet again .

The Olympic Recap ... Thus Far
Oh the Olympics , a great American Summer Past time . I'm one of those die hard fans that watch the Primetime Stuff , no matter what's on . I'm that hardcore with it . Gymnastics , Swimming , (Phelps ! , Coughlin!) , Water Polo , Diving , Women's V-Ball , (That Misty!!) . I watch them all. My favorites though are Swimmming and Women's V-Ball. That Misty May , she kills that ball every time on the court! Also , I can't remember watching swimming and being this exciting , night after night . NBC should seriously release a DVD of all of Phelps' Gold Medal Races . It could be called, " The Road to Gold" . Eh , Good Title Huh. Seriously , this guy is so marketable it's crazy .
His reactions after he wins alone spells posters for lil teeny boppers everywhere to hang on their wall . If NBC was smart , they'll Phelps' posters after the Olympics games are done . Post- Olympic Gear Baby!!! . I think the one thing that has been debatable these entire Olypmics is the way China has been treated during these games . It seems as if they are breaking every rule in the book , yet because they are the host country , it is somehow okay . And to be honest , it's not , it's totally crap . For example , every girl on the entire Chiense Women's Gymnastics Team are completly underage . Their passports say they are of age! BULL . That's the biggest lie I've ever heard . Good thing Finally , Yesterday , they finally get to their senses these morons on the Olympic Committe , and put in a full investigation into their Gymnastics Team . Also , If any other team were being questioned because of age requirements they'd be DQ'ud on the spot . But , Because China is the host country noone really cares. It's about time someone is .
Also , that Baseball game that was played earlier this week , was ridiculous . Horrible sportsmanship on both sides , yet the media Blame the U.S. for the " Brawl" that occured. Not China . I rest my case on that issue . Either way , this Olympics have been the most exciting sporting event all summer . And Defnitely the Best Olympics I've ever watched . Lastly , am I the only one tht thinks the entire U.S. Men's Basketball Team Literally loves Micheal Phelps? I Think they are literally huge Phelps Phans!
Cheers ,
PAPA P
P.S. USA ALL THE WAY

Best Nick Shows of the 90's Part 2
4. All That- 1994-2005 - This show was by far the one I was really obessed with . I remember when I went to Universal Studios in FL years ago , I got an All That Shirt , and I weared that thing like crazy until it didn't fit me anymore . This was my SNL before I could understand the jokes on SNL . This show was apart of Nick's Snick Lineup on Saturday Nights . And Every Saturday , Come On Now , You Know You Watched It . The Early Years of the show were the best , Josh Server , Kel , Kenan , the fabulous , Lori Beth Dinberg! . They were always a hoot to watch week by week . These kids were truly talented . Then , in the middle of the show's run Amanda Bynes , Yes , Amanda Bynes breaks out on the show back in 96 , and stayed until 2002 . She made this show popular again in the middle of its run , and in way , made herself marketable as well . She soon got her own spinoff , The Amanda Show , and became a huge star on Nick . By 2000 , most of the cast left , and they re-built the show with other cast members . By then , the show was still getting viewers yet it wasnt as good . Jamie Spears , yes Britney's Sister was in the Cast , and after that , it just started to go downhill .
In 2005 , the show ended after 10 Seaosons on Nick , and ended the show with a 10 Year Reunion Special . Which In My Opinion , was a good send off to a great show . What was great about this show was the performers and the great sketches that came with them . Good Burger , which later produced a movie , Ask Ashley , Gotta love that , and Kenan Sitting in a Tub Talking In French! This show was pure genius , and I'm glad The N , is showing re-runs on a daily basis in the afternoon .
5. Gullah Gullah Island- 1994-1998- O MAN .. CLASSIC! .. Every Morning .. During NICK JR. I would watch this .. It was so strange , yet that little Binnah Binnah , what a cute thing , whatever he was , made me laugh every morning . I even saw the set in Florida , yes readers , it was mostly filmed on a soundset in FL . The rest of it if I remember correctly was filmed in the Carribean , Maybe Jamaica , I don't remember . Either Way , this show made you smile , and recently , I found the Theme Song , on the great YouTube and went nuts . Just to see that Lil Binnah Binnah , and Ron and Natalie again , made me smile and laugh . That Theme Song .. Wow Brings Back Memories! Grant It , I was only 7 or 8 when this show was on yet , Kids Today , even watch it , on one of Nick's Sister Networks , Probably Noggin . Either way , you learned some life lessons , Colors , Dumb Shit , but at the time , it was useful . This show was always a fav of mine as a little tot ,and will always be remembered . That Lil Binnah Binnah !
6. Nick Arcade- 1992-1993- This show was awesome , A Game Show where the whole point was that you were playing Video Games . Genius . Yet ,the Graphics were crap , but who cares at the time noone cared . The concept of the game show was new and creative and fun to watch . I remember this show being on like reallly early on Saturdays. I wanna say 7 AM ! But , when you're little you get up early , to watch shows on Saturdays . This show was bomb , a classic , they probably still play it on GAS . Not sure , but it was awesome as hell . Phil Moore , he was the man , Full of Energy , this guy , woke you up , just by watching him on Sat Mornings at the crack of Dawn . This show couldv'e lasted longer , it should still be on today to be honest. They could play XBOX Games or something instead of the crap games they had at the time!

Best Nick Shows of the 90's Part 1
There was a time on Nick , where they actually played shows that were watchable , and I would actually tune in on a regular basis . That's the purpose of this countdown , to go down memory lane , to when we were little tots , and to go back and time to when Nick ruled the cable world , and everything was right in our little hearts.
1. Legends of the Hidden Temple - 1993-1995- Who Didn't Love this Show?? Every kid at my age , at one point or another watched this show , and rooted for their favorite team . Whether it be the Blue Baracotas , or The Purple Jaguars , you were always rooting for these kids to win . You were also jealous and wondered , why can't I be on this show?? It was a fun show to watch , the host Kirk Fogg , what a name , was always encouraging the kids , no matter how bad they sometimes did . It always seemed that you defnitely learned some ancient Mayan history from watching Legends , and I think that's what made it so fun . It was fun to watch , and you learned some stuff in the process . They even sell the T-Shirts that were worn on the show . You can find out on many sites for reasonable prices .
2. Salute Your Shorts - 1991-1992 - How did this show only last for 2 Seasons , and 26 Episodes?? Was Nick pulling a BBC with the Episode Count on this one?? This show is by far Nick's most rememorable sitcom of the early 90's . Way Before All That , and Kenan and Kel , you had Salute Your Shorts . With It's Classic Theme Song , and It's out of this world Characters , you couldn't help but laugh at these character's antics at the Historic Camp Annawanna . Now , Grant It , these kids , I don't think have really done anything else other than this show , but it was so popular at the time , that people still talk and reminisce about it today . For a while , Nick Gas , would play it over the summer , as part of their Camp Gas , Summer Schedule . But by 2004 , Nick Gas stopped doing that , and stopped playing Salute Your Shorts all together . What made this show so enjoyable was Donkey Lips . He was the lovable guy , who you just couldn't help but love the character. He was always getting into trouble with just about everyone , causing a stir at Camp Annawanna . It doesn't make any sense to me , this show , was probably the biggest hit at the time it aired . It aired on Sundays, and still did well . And If I remember correctly , it was on at like 5 or 6 in the afternoon. What A Random Time ! Either Way , It's a show that needs to be on DVD , and this guy would be the first on line to get a copy .
Fav . Salute Your Shorts Episodes: The Radio Call In Contest , DonkeyLips Crush on Dina, Budnick Loves Dina .
3. The Adventures of Pete and Pete - 1993-1996- O Man ! .. PETE AND PETE ! .. This show was weird , not gonna lie , Pete and Pete , was one strange show . With the weird mom , and the wacky dad , this one was a weird one to watch . But in a way , everyone , including me , loved this show , and couldn't get enough of it . The cool part about it is , it launched the career of Michelle Tratchenberg, who would later go on to star in Harriet The Spy , (Classic Movie!!) , And Eurotrip. This show was about two brothers , both named Pete , who lived in New Jersey!! .. My Home State .. and the wacky adventures these two would encounter . The Chemistry between the two Pete's are great , and it made it that much more fun to watch . I always liked this show , and still watch my DVD's of the first two seasons today .

1. Legends of the Hidden Temple - 1993-1995- Who Didn't Love this Show?? Every kid at my age , at one point or another watched this show , and rooted for their favorite team . Whether it be the Blue Baracotas , or The Purple Jaguars , you were always rooting for these kids to win . You were also jealous and wondered , why can't I be on this show?? It was a fun show to watch , the host Kirk Fogg , what a name , was always encouraging the kids , no matter how bad they sometimes did . It always seemed that you defnitely learned some ancient Mayan history from watching Legends , and I think that's what made it so fun . It was fun to watch , and you learned some stuff in the process . They even sell the T-Shirts that were worn on the show . You can find out on many sites for reasonable prices .
2. Salute Your Shorts - 1991-1992 - How did this show only last for 2 Seasons , and 26 Episodes?? Was Nick pulling a BBC with the Episode Count on this one?? This show is by far Nick's most rememorable sitcom of the early 90's . Way Before All That , and Kenan and Kel , you had Salute Your Shorts . With It's Classic Theme Song , and It's out of this world Characters , you couldn't help but laugh at these character's antics at the Historic Camp Annawanna . Now , Grant It , these kids , I don't think have really done anything else other than this show , but it was so popular at the time , that people still talk and reminisce about it today . For a while , Nick Gas , would play it over the summer , as part of their Camp Gas , Summer Schedule . But by 2004 , Nick Gas stopped doing that , and stopped playing Salute Your Shorts all together . What made this show so enjoyable was Donkey Lips . He was the lovable guy , who you just couldn't help but love the character. He was always getting into trouble with just about everyone , causing a stir at Camp Annawanna . It doesn't make any sense to me , this show , was probably the biggest hit at the time it aired . It aired on Sundays, and still did well . And If I remember correctly , it was on at like 5 or 6 in the afternoon. What A Random Time ! Either Way , It's a show that needs to be on DVD , and this guy would be the first on line to get a copy .

The Mole .. The Best Reality Show of the Summer
This show has been on for a while , but I just started to get into this past June when it first premiered . And let me tell you , from episode 1 I was hooked . This isn't you're typical reality show . It isn't no American Idol, Survivor Crap , this is truly a game of WHO Dun It . And week by week , this show kept me guessing on that question .. Who is the Mole?? .. And every week , watching this show , your opinion changes frequently . I know mine did . Any many others . What makes this show unique , it has drama , but you almost feel and know , because it's truly a " game" , that the only person acting , is the Mole .
The Mole is the only one , that knows who the Mole is , noone else does . It amazes me that these contestants can go through 10 Weeks of all that , and never know till after filming who was being paid to trick everyone . And I was defnitely surprised to find out Craig was the Mole ! This guy is your lovable type . Big guy , he's like the Rueben Studdard of this show . Well - Liked , Kind , wouldn't hurt a fly . But, week by week , these producers were telling him to sabatoge missions and tons of money , on a daily basis . That's crazy , and it's nuts that from Day 1 Paul knew it , that Craig was the Mole , and he was the only one from Day 1 .
I feel that Mark Defnitely deserved it , he played like a champion , like a winner , he took it more seriously than anyone else on the show , remember how mad he got when they burned his journal?? At that moment , you truly knew how much this guy wanted this money . He deserved it . And at the End , he got the money . All $420,000 of it . That's alot of money for a HS History Teacher . And the best , sweetest part is , He didn't win the money for him . He did it for his pregant wife , so she didn't have to work anymore .
I loved the fact in the final minutes , they brought her out , and everyone said , especially Paul .. He was the first one to say it .. You Deserved It .. And He Really Did.. This guy worked his butt off .. and for one person .. not himself .. his wife .. that my readers .. is one person that deserves to win something .. not these other losers on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DANCE ..the stupidest most dumbest show FOX has ever created .. COME ON NOW THE WINNER ON THAT CRAP GETS TO BE IN A MUSIC VIDEO?? .. BIG DEAL .. This guy .. Worked Hard , not for himself , but for his wife .
I really hope this show gets renewed , I've been hearing the ratings for this year, after it's absence on the air , has affected the show . But I hope ABC will think in Consideration , that this show has heart and interesting to watch , I actually learned some georgraphy about Argentina and Chile from this show. YOU CAN'T LEARN SHIT FROM SO YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DANCE .. Pardon My French . .. Anyway .. This show deserves a renewal and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DANCE .. my nickname for that crap of a show .. deserves no credit .. this show does .
UNTIL THEN ,
Happy TV Watching!! .. And Hopefully ABC might have some heart and renew a good show for once .

Best Teen Dramas Ever .. The Conclusion
5. My So - Called- Life - ABC- 1994-1995- This show was probably ABC's most controversial show of the early 90s. It stars the then young Claire Danes , as Angela Chase , who we see go through the trials and tribulations a normal teenager goes through . What made this show enjoyable was the relationship Angela had with her best friend , Rickie . Now, Rickie is a guy , and he's gay , and this point in time , Gay characters weren't really heard of on television yet. My So - Called Life was probably one of the first shows , maybe even the first to have a recurring gay character on their show . This show made Claire Danes a star. It's a huge Cult Hit , even though it only lasted for 19 Episodes . I feel America , at the time , wasn't ready for what this show was tackling at the time . One of the first Episodes , dealt with a character having a reading problem , something that many teens have problems with today . Shout Factory! Recently Re-Relased My - So- Called Life on DVD with more extras and interviews from the origonal cast members .
Favorite My So Called Eps: Dancing in the Dark , Halloween , Life of Brian , and Resolutions .
6. Degrassi: The Next Generation - 2001-Present - Even though this show is a Candidian Import , it is one of the most poplular shows Canada has ever had . This is the third spinoff , from the Origonal Degrassi: Jr. High , which first premired back in 1987 . One of the reasons this show is still on , because it tackles issues that most shows are too afraid to write about . In its 8 year history , there's been gun shots , Gay Male Characters and Female , Pregancy , and more . It shows what real teenagers go through and not in a sugar coated way . Yes , it is a drama , but it's a good show to watch . It has one of the largest ensemble casts in recent television history , it just recently finished season 8 in Canada, and its airing season 8 now currently in the US on The N. I admit that that the first 2 seasons were somewhat weak , but after that the show found its groove . I think as the characters have gotten older , the show has only gotten better with time . I think it's funny that they finally are graduating Degrassi High after all these years . It's probabaly the most popular show in Canada , now , and it still will be , for years to come .
Favorite Degrassi Episodes: Whisper to A Scream , Take On Me , Time Stands Still, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For , Working for the Weekend , Everything She Wants .

Best Teen Dramas Ever .. Pt.2
Happy Friday All!
Here's Pt. 2 Of the Best Teen Dramas Ever !
4. Beverly Hills 90210- FOX- 1990-2000 - This show made the teen drama genre what it is today . It was considered and is the first teen drama on Television . At the time of its airing back in 1990, critics were spectical of the teen drama and the show itself .But the show became a huge International Hit , and Redefined the Fox Brand , which at the time needed a show to boost their reputation . This was the show . Everyone in the 90s watched this show. 90210 revolves around The Walsh Family , and their two teenagers , Brandon( Jason Priestly) , and the Infamous ( Shannen Doherty) , who because of these roles , would become superstars in Young Hollywood . By the end of Season 1 , it was a huge hit . The show decided to do something at the time , was not heard of . In The Summer of '91 , they premiered " Summer Shows" , Wow what a concept! But at the time , noone did it . So they started their season in July with 7 Straight Episodes! Pretty sweet , then they came back in Early September , and by Sept they were ahead of everyone in Episodes , but Christmas they were 15 Episodes into their season . Most shows by Christmas reach about 8 episodes , but 15 is unheard of . By May of '92, They finished their second season with a total of 28 episodes. Then , Season 3 started, the gang's senior year at West Bev. , Which is Prob . one of the best seasons of 90210. At this point , everyone on the show knew they were gonna stay at FOX for years to come , after a highly successful second year . The third season was so rememberable because the show was more dramatic than ever ,
and everyone loved it .
Dylan's Father Died , Donna (Tori Spelling) , got Drunk as Hell at the Prom , and Everyone was mad at Eachother . Now , we enter the college years , which for 90210 were their most succesful years of their 10 year run . This season , would be Shannen Doherty's last . To make a long story short , everyone hated her . She was always late, she didn't get along with anyone , especially Jennie Grath , They still refuse to work with eachother today . To be honest , most of the cast members , especially Jason Priestly and Tiffiani-Amber Thessian , still see eachother today . Yet , noone talks to Shannen . Poor Girl .
As Season 5 approached , Valerie Malone entered the cast , played by Tiffiani - Amber Thessian . She basically took on the bitchy role that Brenda left behind . Everyone on set was alot happier without Doherty . As the College Years Ended in Season 7 , The ratings were just as good as they were back in the earlier years . Now , grant it , at the end of Season 7 , its May 1997 , how much longer can this go on for?? Well, it went on until May 2000 so another 3 seasons . I love this show , but in some ways , I think they needed some work after Season 7 ended . At this point , new characters were coming in and out of the show , which made it confusing to follow , plus with Luke Perry gone , He left in Season 6 , but re-appreared in Season 9 , go figure , everyone was starting to leave and move on to other projects . Jason Priestly was ready to only Exec. Produce and Direct Episodes , which he was doing anyway , along with Brian Austin Green . Yet , I think at this point , Jason Priestly felt he was too old for the Brandon Walsh character .
By November of Season 8 , Priestly and Theissen both left one episode after another . It made sense , yet after that , the show went downhill . The Storylines seemed to drag to long than they should , the writing was awful , and the new characters sucked . Noah , was the only good one , played by Vincent Young , he was alot like Valerie , a troubled past , alocholic , that kind of crap . Yet , he somehow really never seemed to fit in with the rest of the cast . Then , Season 9 the WORST season of any show I've ever seen . And I like this show . But , At this point the Producers at 90210 knew that they're days at FOX were done , and they had a great run . Yet , they needed something to boost the ratings . So , they begged Luke Perry to come back , and there he was on the Thanksgiving Episode , arriving on The Walsh's doorstep , and Brandon doesn't even live there anymore . GO FIGURE . But , it's now Steve's house . Give me a Break .
The last season I won't even get into . Let's end it at this . Vanessa Marcil entered the cast in Season 9 , only because Aaron Spelling created the bitchy , Gina Kincaid character just for her . And she was brilliant, if only she came on the show sooner. In all , this show is by far FOX's most popular show of the 90's and when it premiered it really saved FOX . They were just starting off , and this was their first big drama hit . 90210, I've noticed this cast really truly cares for one another . Brian Austin Green still talks to most of the cast members . And Jennie Grath still talks to Tiffiani- Amber Thessian , they actually became real -life best friends , even though their characters hated eachother on the show . And Priestly and Tiffiani-Amber Thessian , have dinner together on a weekly basis at Casa De Walsh .
Favorite 90210 Episodes: Beach Blanket Brandon , Spring Dance , The Twins , The Trustee, and The Very Big Trip, Midlife , Now What? , Dead End , Radio Daze , Intervention , Buffalo Gals , Angels We Have Heard on High, You Say It's Your Birthday , and the Phantom Of CU .

Best Teen Dramas Ever .. Pt. 1
One of American Television's biggest genres in the 90's and 00's is defnitely the teen drama . With such shows as 90210 , Doogie Howser M.D. , My So Called Life , and more every week the big networks kept teens coming back for more . So without further ado , here's my countdown of the Best Teen Dramas Ever .
1. Doogie Howser M.D. - ABC - 1989-1993 - As you all know , this show made Neil Patrick Harris' career . Before Harold and Kumar and How I met Your Mother was Doogie . This show was just an overall sweet funny drama . The show revolves around boy genius Doogie Howser who had a college degree at an earlier age , and by his teenage years , he was a liscened doctor . Only on TV folks . What made this show was the chemistry between Vinnie , played by Max Casella , and Doogie . The two of them would truly do anything to make eachother happy . Now , I was only 2 years old when this came out , but I remember watching reruns of this after it was over a few years after the last episode aired in '93 . It can sometimes be a comedy , but the show really precepts what it's like to be a teenager and juggle all the things that come with it .
Favorite Doogie Episodes: Vinnie Video Vici , Tonight's the Night , Ask Dr . Doogie , and the Summer of '91
2 . Party of Five - Fox - 1994-2000 - This great show debuted right in the middle of the whole Fox 90210 , Melrose Place craze back in the 90s , grant it , it was still a hit , yet I think If it premiered a few years earlier , it could've lasted longer . This show not only has heart , but is different from alot of Fox dramas that were on Tv at the time it was airing . Party of Five revovles around the Sallinger clan , as they cope with the death of their parents after a car accident leave them alone in San Fransisco . This show at the time launched the careers of Scott Wolf , Jennifer Love Hewitt , and Matthew Fox ( now of Lost) . It also featured a young Lacey Chabert who would move on to such movies as Mean Girls and The Wild Thornberrys to name a few. What I love most about this show is that , it doesn't have all that soapy stuff that 90210 and Melrose had at the time . It was strictly a drama. I can't imagine losing your parents and having that many kids to take care of . The best actor on this show was defnitely Scott Wolf . His Character , Bailey , had it all , Football Star , Girls , lots of friends , you name it , this kid had it . Yet , what most people didn't know , as it would reveal in seasons to come , he had a huge alchol problem , and most of the story lines revolving Bailey surrounded that issue .
He really made that character lovable , you felt bad for Bailey , yet you also said to yourself , this isn't your ordinary Teen Drama because most of the characters were under the age of 35. The show ran for six seasons on FOX , and I think the only reason it ended in 2000 , was because FOX thought it'd be easier to end it at the same time as 90210 , yet at the time , remember 90210 was hitting 10 years on the air , and Party of Five was only reaching 6 . So , in a way , it still could've gone on longer , but it didn't but it was still one of those shows that deserved more praise than it got .
Favorite Party of Five Eps: Worth Waiting For , Much Ado , The Trouble with Charlie , Best Laid Plans
3. 7th Heaven - WB/CW - 1996-2007- Yet another Aaron Spelling Production , this one was one of those shows that everybody watched at one point of time , yet it should've stopped after the 05-06 season . I'll get to that later . Anyway , 7th Heaven revolved around the Camden's who had too many kids and welcomed alot of other strangers to their house to live with them . What I like about this show , is that in the earlier years it was very beleivable . The minister , played by Stephen Collins , was the main character , and he was like the leader of the family . It was family show , and in a way, a very religious show . Yet , that's why I think this show was so well liked by the PTC( Parent's Television Council) , because of the issues that it tackled so well . Yet , as the years went on , how many times can one family always be so friggin happy after everything is said and done . By 2000 or so , I stopped watching , everyone was getting older , and by that point in the run , Jessica Biel left because of her whole scandel in taking " inappopriate" photos in a Sports Magazine . The show was better off without her . Anyway , in the 05-06 season the WB , just folded , and became what it is now , The CW . Now , this season , Season 10 , was supposed to be the LAST season of the show . They had a great Series Finale , but wait . Aaron Spelling and Crew decided lets give it one more season !!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME . 10's enough , When a show reaches 10 years on air , that's like the flag that tells you , we're done, let's pack up and go .
But , NOOO , they couldn't do that , and the 11th season , SUCKED . By making an 11th season they truly lost all their fans , ratings , and most of the respect from Critics . Yet the PTC , Those Losers , loved to have them back . Only B/C the PTC
Hates every other show on Network TV! I don't even have a favorite episode , its a great show don't get me wrong , yet it over dued its welcome on televison .

Now , I was only 2 years old when this came out , but I remember watching reruns of this after it was over a few years after the last episode aired in '93 . It can sometimes be a comedy , but the show really precepts what it's like to be a teenager and juggle all the things that come with it .
Favorite Doogie Episodes: Vinnie Video Vici , Tonight's the Night , Ask Dr . Doogie , and the Summer of '91
2 . Party of Five - Fox - 1994-2000 - This great show debuted right in the middle of the whole Fox 90210 , Melrose Place craze back in the 90s , grant it , it was still a hit , yet I think If it premiered a few years earlier , it could've lasted longer . This show not only has heart , but is different from alot of Fox dramas that were on Tv at the time it was airing . Party of Five revovles around the Sallinger clan , as they cope with the death of their parents after a car accident leave them alone in San Fransisco . This show at the time launched the careers of Scott Wolf , Jennifer Love Hewitt , and Matthew Fox ( now of Lost) . It also featured a young Lacey Chabert who would move on to such movies as Mean Girls and The Wild Thornberrys to name a few. What I love most about this show is that , it doesn't have all that soapy stuff that 90210 and Melrose had at the time . It was strictly a drama. I can't imagine losing your parents and having that many kids to take care of . The best actor on this show was defnitely Scott Wolf . His Character , Bailey , had it all , Football Star , Girls , lots of friends , you name it , this kid had it . Yet , what most people didn't know , as it would reveal in seasons to come , he had a huge alchol problem , and most of the story lines revolving Bailey surrounded that issue .
He really made that character lovable , you felt bad for Bailey , yet you also said to yourself , this isn't your ordinary Teen Drama because most of the characters were under the age of 35. The show ran for six seasons on FOX , and I think the only reason it ended in 2000 , was because FOX thought it'd be easier to end it at the same time as 90210 , yet at the time , remember 90210 was hitting 10 years on the air , and Party of Five was only reaching 6 . So , in a way , it still could've gone on longer , but it didn't but it was still one of those shows that deserved more praise than it got .
Favorite Party of Five Eps: Worth Waiting For , Much Ado , The Trouble with Charlie , Best Laid Plans
3. 7th Heaven - WB/CW - 1996-2007- Yet another Aaron Spelling Production , this one was one of those shows that everybody watched at one point of time , yet it should've stopped after the 05-06 season . I'll get to that later . Anyway , 7th Heaven revolved around the Camden's who had too many kids and welcomed alot of other strangers to their house to live with them . What I like about this show , is that in the earlier years it was very beleivable . The minister , played by Stephen Collins , was the main character , and he was like the leader of the family . It was family show , and in a way, a very religious show . Yet , that's why I think this show was so well liked by the PTC( Parent's Television Council) , because of the issues that it tackled so well . Yet , as the years went on , how many times can one family always be so friggin happy after everything is said and done . By 2000 or so , I stopped watching , everyone was getting older , and by that point in the run , Jessica Biel left because of her whole scandel in taking " inappopriate" photos in a Sports Magazine . The show was better off without her . Anyway , in the 05-06 season the WB , just folded , and became what it is now , The CW . Now , this season , Season 10 , was supposed to be the LAST season of the show . They had a great Series Finale , but wait . Aaron Spelling and Crew decided lets give it one more season !!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME . 10's enough , When a show reaches 10 years on air , that's like the flag that tells you , we're done, let's pack up and go .
But , NOOO , they couldn't do that , and the 11th season , SUCKED . By making an 11th season they truly lost all their fans , ratings , and most of the respect from Critics . Yet the PTC , Those Losers , loved to have them back . Only B/C the PTC
Hates every other show on Network TV! I don't even have a favorite episode , its a great show don't get me wrong , yet it over dued its welcome on televison .

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia .. And It's Effect on the City
It's Always Sunny .. or the official Title It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia premiered on FX in Summer of 2005. It immidiately made Philadelphia popular again , being a huge hit with Philly residents and Pennslyvania Residents alike . The show revovles around Charlie , Sweet Dee , Mac , and Dennis , the four them open a bar called Paddy's Pub in Philly . The great thing about this show , it stays true to its roots because it all filmed in Philly and the actors who play Mac , Charlie , and Dennis are all best friends from Philly . When they first shot the pilot , they shot it on a small Digitial Camera , and somehow executives at FX saw it , and decided they wanted to re-shoot parts of it and make it into a series on their network . They immdeditely shot 7 episodes for the 1st season and began airing in Aug of '05 . It immeditely became a cult hit as well . Critics and fans alike were calling it the next Seinfeld . Their tagline for Season 1 was ," It's Seinfeld , on Crack" . How FX got away with that I'll never know but it worked. In the second season , which premiered the summer after , added Danny Devito to the cast as Dennis ' and Dee's Father , Frank .
Some fans thought it was a stupid to bring him in , but he is an asset to the show . I believe that yes , His character is sometimes an annoyance to the show , he almost feels like it be better off without him . That the writers don't use him enough . Yet , him and Charlie together , makes it work . He's Charlie's partner in crime , and I think that's why they keep him on the show . He is also now one of the Producers , so he's not going anywhere . What makes this show so much fun to watch is the chemistry with all the characters . Charlie is always fun to watch , but they all are in their own ways . Charlie , is like Kramer on Seinfeld . He's so out there , sometimes you think what is this guy doing?? It just makes it more fun to watch . And it keeps getting better as the seasons go on . It just finished Season 3 back in November , and its finally coming back on Sept . 18th . It's gotten so popular that even Philly loves it . I remember when the 2nd Season was airing , They had a sign entering Philly saying ," You're Entering Philiadelphia , Home of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" , I don't know If they still have that sign yet to have it that early on in its run says people in Philadelphia approve that the show gives them a good reputation . And Honestly it's good publicity for Philly .
Like I said Before Every Season gets better and better , its one of the shows that the storylines don't matter , because there are none . Just like Seinfeld , you can miss an episode , and you won't miss any important storylines or subplot . I think that's what makes it fun too . You can watch it out of order , and still enjoy it , and not miss anything in between . This show is a cult hit for FX ,and I know it's going to be on for a while . With Rescue Me and alot of their shows struggling , this is their new hit in a way , after every other show is long gone .
Favorite It's Always Sunny Eps: The Gang Gives Back , Underage Drinking: A National Concern , Gun Fever , Dennis and Dee Go On Welfare, The Gang Solves the North Korea Situation , and Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender .
If you haven't seen this show , check it out , you won't look at Philly the same way again .
