was I hearing things, or did they really let the word "clusterfuck" go out unbleeped on the Cleveland Show tonite?

TiVo alert: Jane Lynch and Bill Maher are going to read the Anthony Weiner FB exchanges verbatim - and, you know, dramatically - on Friday's "Real Time" on HBO.

I've mentioned many times that while I hate Family Guy, I love American Dad! -- go figure.  And tonite at 10 Cartoon Network (ch 54 on Comcast) is showing the AD episode that made me realize what a clever, well-written show it is: "Lincoln Lover", in which Stan Smith meets the Log Cabin Republicans.  Easily the best "gay" episode of any sitcom, ever.

Tonite's KOFY TV-20 retro hour at 10:00 is "Rocky & his Friends". I may have to stay up past my bedtime.

Tonite at 8:30, TVLand (ch 74 on Comcast) is showing the episode of All in the Family that introduced Bea Arthur as Edith's cousin Maude. A true TV classic.

I didn't remember that.  Just had a MTM, Rhoda and Cloris (Phyllis) Leachman flashback. Wow. WTH kind of name is Cloris?

And the only thing he's qualified to tell us is ancillary profits.

sadly,this is not a put-on:

http://blogs.sacbee.com/the_state_worker/2011/08/california-dmv-setting-for-new-reality-tv.html

Anything to put a few extra bucks in the state coffers.

well, they do work very hard at keeping their brand well-defined.  (And by that I mean they do NOT work very hard.   nyuk nyuk...)

But seriously, last time I was at the DMV, everyone seemed competent, efficient and friendly.  (Patty and Selma must have been on break.)
