30 Day TV Challenge Day 6

Least favorite TV character:

Steve Urkel

The first season of Family Matters it was just a nice sitcom about a cop and his family. Then an obnoxious neighbor drop in, and the show was, as far as I'm concerned, ruined. as Urkel became the focus of the show, I stopped watching. Watch the video for a few seconds and you will see his obnoxiousness....or you'll love him, like many apparently did. oh no...this video has been deleted...too bad, so sorry.

30 Day TV Challenge Day 5

Favorite TV character

The Doctor

debutting in 1963 and running thru the mid 80's, then returning in 2005, this BBC science fiction icon is an amazing blend of the 11 actors who have played him through the years, each making the character his own. This video shows the transformations from actor to actor...there is a 10 minute video from the same youtube poster that is even better, but I used the short one for the blog.

30 Day TV Challenge Day 4

Worst Theme Song

Two and a Half Men

This opening sequence (notice how much shorter they are these days) like the show itself becomes more annoying each year.

30 Day TV Challenge Day 3

Best Theme Song:

My Life from Bosom Buddies

Most people would hav suspected I would pick the FRIENDS theme, and I love that song, but Bosom Buddies theme, Billy Joel's My Life introduced me to the music of Billy Joel, and his genius. Amazing song! And brings us back to a time when TV shows had intros (time now sucked up by ads)

30 Day TV Challenge Day 2

Least Favorite TV show of all time:

The Bachelor

Studly rich guys dating groups of women, whittling it down to two, then breaking one girls heart choosing another, just to break up with her before the wedding can happen..so lame!! and Bachelorette is just as bad.

30 Day TV Challenge Day 1

Good day, and welcome to June and the 30 day TV challenge (as laid out in a previous blog) This will be my first attempt to include videos in my blog, so be patient if it doesn't work. For this 30 day challenge in most categories I will be considering current or recent shows, unless they are for "all time favorite" or things like that. anyway, hope you enjoy.

DAY 1:
Favourite TV Show of all Time:

FRIENDS

It's the show we watch over and over, because for most of the run anyway the writing is just so good that it is still funny even when you've seen it a dozen times. I know alot of people would have expected me to pick Doctor Who, which I also love, but FRIENDS is such a part of the life of my family, something my wife and I do together. Doctor Who is just a thing I watch for ME, (it is of course favourite show #2)

Here is a clip from first episode, where the FRIENDS obsesion began for most of us:
