HAHA!  oh well.  a little friction is good.  but at their age, friction might lead to traction!  ;)

Tyler is a wispy dude, ratherr slight, a nine year old might be able to knock him off that stage if she hit him correctly and he was off balance.

Great opening number on the Emmys just now: Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Co. doing "Born to Run", managing to both celebrate and make fun of Glee at the same time.

And Jon Hamm gets to team up with Betty White. Or vice-versa.

ETA: another inspired musical number, Fallon doing "farewell songs" to shows that ended for good this season (Lost, etc) in the styles of EJ, Boyz2Men, Green Day.

Just wanted to say the opening ep of HBO's Boardwalk Empire last nite was pretty great. Steve Buscemi, gangsters, prohibition, hookers -- what's not to love?

I don't often laugh at The Cleveland Show but they just did a great Tyler Perry joke: "Tyler Perry wine: it's rich & super fruity and not complex at all". Oh, snap!

Just watched this week's ep of Mad Men -- damn, it has really been extraordinary this year.  What an episode, and the closing-credit music was a clever choice. Anyone else watching?

Just finished watching Ken Burns' two part series, The Tenth Inning on KQED.  It's about the steroid era in baseball and was so fabulous, that even my football lovin', baseball hatin' hubby got into it.

Ken Burns was at a Giants game recently.   His large boyish head panned and slowly zoomed across the horizon with a steady curiosity in what is popularly called the Ken Burns effect.

(I was at that game, too.  At first I was back at the right field fence, and some nice guy came by and gave a me a club level seat ticket for free...  Sweet!  except they lost 2-1. It was also a crappy game.)

Tonite's ep of How I Met Your Mother had all the characters competing with each other to see who was "a real New Yorker". Which is hilarious because "HIMYM" is filmed in LA on the FAKEST-LOOKING BACK-LOT PRETEND-NYC STREETS in the history of television.

Discovery Kids has re-branded itself as "HUB", a sort of less tween-centric version of Nickelodeon with lots of reruns (from '60s Batman to '80s Family Ties) and a spate of new cartoons. But the big news is: they're showing Fraggle Rock!
