A little bit of this 'n that

- How many American shows can say that the actor playing the main character married the actress playing his grandmother? Somehow I find that strangely cool. As I do most things, I discovered The Kumars at No. 42 about six months after everyone else and find it fascinating. However, I find Indians in Britain generally fascinating. Plus they get the best food.
- Rumor I heard - Green Wing has been bought by BBCA. Commence cheering. It's supposedly funnier than Scrubs.
- Speaking of American sitcoms, once upon a time somewhere I said that Joey had potential. I have officially taken that back. Whomever decided to make him into a big Hollywood star before February Sweeps of the first season should be taken to Santa Monica and thrown off the pier.
- Okay, I am rooting for the Pats tomorrow. They remind me too much of the 2000 Titans not to. But on behalf of the rest of America, I beg the Pats (and 4/5 of their fans) - please dispense with the overconfidence. Sure, Terrell Owens is running on a leg that will probably break like a Thanksgiving wishbone by halftime, and sure, the Iggles have a history of choking. But Ty Law just put a ton of fire in their bellies by saying that they might as well not even show up tomorrow. And with a few exceptions, people in New England are too busy making reservations for the victory parade to remember that there is a game to play first. You are setting yourselves up for the biggest upset in history. Even if you think that the McNabb has no chance against the line that has made Peyton into their personal bitch, do yourselves a favor and get a little bit nervous. Frankly, cakewalks are boring anyway.
- Speaking of boring, could SNL do that halftime Weekend Update thing that they did two years ago? McCartney is pretty much shaping up to be the snoozefest of the century.
