The origin of the TV Yule Log -- I noticed we had Dueling Logs in SF this year (on Ch. 36 and TV-20).

Well, no "Scrooge's R'n'R Xmas" om Channel 32 this year... but they *are* showing Santa Claus Conquers the Martians tonite at 8, and it's nearly as awful.

Meanwhile, they re-ran the recent Simpsons Xmas ep which was genius. "It's like Christmas with a childless gay couple!" And IO can't believe the Katy Perry "that's not my bellybutton" line made it past the censors.

Tuesday's Mega Millions winning numbers were eerily similar to Hurley's "cursed" lottery numbers from LOST.  Dude!  Way!

End of an era? KOFY TV-20 has dumped (at least temporarily) their Sun nite old-TV-shows-you-vote-for block in favor of new version of Dance Party (8 to 9) and a new local game show called "Carpool Showdown" -- a trivia contest that appears to be a ripoff of "Cash Cab" (9 to 10).

Tonite the SyFy channel is showing a marathon of the orig Green Hornet TV show that ran on ABC in the '60s. With Bruce Lee as Kato, and, er, some other guy as the Green Hornet.

Watching a How I Met Your Mother rerun and playing Ted's boss was William Schallert (known as Patty Duke's TV dad many moons ago) -- and I was like "damn, I thought he was dead". Nope. Very much alive.

THEN:

"Smithers, you are the... campiest of my aides-de-camp"

Smithers gives Moe's a makeover and it becomes a gay bar called (wait for it) Mo's. Genius.

And Moe buys a chihuahua named Neil Patrick Hairless!

Best. Gay. Simpsons. EVAH!

Oh. My. F---ing. GAWD. The new improved version of the KOFY TV-20 Dance Party is on -- they seem to have gone out of their way to find fat unattractive people. They're all dancing to AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Nite Long".  Good lord.
