"Love Interests: Pale Shadows of Lilith (if that's possible)"

Any scene with Dr. Freedman interacting with Col. Flagg was pure gold.

"There's a fine line between gardening and insanity."

"I don't wanna be a pirate!"

The phone support lady that uses the phrase "awesome sauce" should go away and disappear into another dimension. That phrase, and her shrill delivery of it, are fingernails to the chalkboard of my ears.

My favorite Cliff moment was him breaking a board with his head to prove he really is a karate expert... And then Diane carrying him on her shoulder up the stairs to take him to the hospital.

Every laundry day when folding my shirts, either Mrs. Tuba or myself will mention "Golden Boy". I just noticed my Golden Boy sweatshirt is really on its last legs, so I better start finding and breaking in "Baby Blue".

Cool. Anyone going to wear their Oriole's hat to the game?

Count me in the Diane camp. I loved the show in the early seasons but basically stopped watching after a year or two of Rebecca. It wasn't so much Kirstie's fault in my opinion, but it seemed like the Rebecca character really deteriorated over time. She started out being a driven and intelligent career woman who had a few "issues", and then devolved into a pathetic, one-note cartoon caricature of a gold-digging loser. Her constant whining and mooning after whatever powerful man was her boss got old pretty fast for me.

I watch alot of ESPN, which means every 5 minutes I have to see that commercial with the little brat who's going to exercise and someday take over from Cam Newton as QB of the Panthers. The kid was marginally "cute" the first one or two times I saw it, but after 50,000 viewings I keep hoping at the end Cam yells at him "You little bastard! I'll give you your 60 minutes of exercise today!" and takes off chasing him across the schoolyard.

Because you didn't find each other through his approved online dating service?

Kromm, I partially agree. For me the show became unwatchable the last few seasons, but I thought the changes in Hawkeye were only part of the problem. EVERY character became clones (with a few quirky character traits thrown in) of some 1970's ideal. Potter was a lovable old grandpa type, Margaret (no longer "Hot Lips", heaven forbid) became a deeply caring proto-feminist, BJ was a lovable family man, Kilnger was a lovable screw-up who tried his best, Charles was a blue-blood with a carefully concealed heart-of-gold (and lovable, of course), etc...It made for one big, happy TV family but lost all the fun of having characters with real differences interact in very trying circumstances. It also completely undercut the main theme of the movie and the earlier seasons: people faced with the horror of war often become jaded and use dark humor as a defense mechanisom and casual sex as an escape. Instead, I'm struck by how in the later seasons every single character became a nobler and more caring person as they spent time at MASH. It was like the war did them all a world of good as people!

As a huge fan of the original Cosmos and all Carl Sagan's work, I started watching the new Cosmos with some trepidation. My two biggest concerns were "how can the host possibly live up to Sagan?" and, when I heard that the history pieces would be cartoons rather than human actors, "will the cartoons be an embarrassing dumbing-down of the presentation?" (the intentionally funny cloning cartoon shown in the original Juraissic Park came to mind) Well, thankfully it only took this one episode to allay my fears. Tyson does a great job and the cartoons were very artfully done. Finally, something new on TV that I can praise and recommend without reservation!

Yes, the Denis Leary interview was fantastic. They have such a chemistry together and play off each other so well, it's a joy to watch.

Just to be clear: I'm not casting asperations either. It's not Pele's fault and he's certainly under no obligation to learn to speak English at all. All I was saying is that it made for a difficult and uncomfortable interview.

#1 has to be Rochelle, Rochelle. (Minsk?)

This. If that didn't work, we could have told the Humane Society of the United States that he loves animals. Within three weeks he would've been forced out of hiding when his cave filled up with paper pads and preprinted address labels, all with large-eyed cartoon dogs and cats on them.

Um, yes. It's been a fairly well reported issue in US newspapers/web sites. Hell, even I know about it and I'm hardly a news junkie. No. But the opinion of one of the most revered and influential sports figures in that country would be interesting.

I didn't care much for the Pele on-air interview. Two major problems: 1) Pele's obvious trouble with spoken English, and 2) Too much fawning idol-worship from Jon (I don't expect a hard-hitting political interview with a sports icon, but a couple serious questions about Brazil's spending and security issues with the upcoming World Cup would have added some "meat").

Frank had one of the greatest "burns" ever before he left. Shortly after Margaret got engaged to Donald, they're all in the mess tent. Frank says something about possibly dating some nurse. Margaret says she "seems a little young for you" and Frank responds... "I thought a little youth might be nice for a change"

(in gravelly voice) "Pipe down, chorus boy!" I use this all the time with my dogs.

Many too many to name, but one I ALWAYS laugh at...Frank and Hot Lips are hiring a local to do a bust of new CO Col. Potter, and "the artist" is showing off an example of his work... [hands Frank a short 2x4] ARTIST: (admiringly) Used to be round FRANK: It looks like a 2-by-4 ARTIST: Thank you
