I haven't seen more than a few segments of MAD, but I enjoy it
infinitely more than the abysmal yawn-fest that was MADtv. At least,
it is more in keeping with the magazine, as opposed to mere bad sketch
comedy by people who make Jimmy Fallon look skilled.

Sergio's doing his "Drawn-Out Dramas" for CN's televersion of "MAD."  They
pop up a couple of times per episode in black-and-white in as close to a
"Marginal Thinking Dept." as you can get and are always welcome.

[TV orNotTV] HBO Cleans Out Half-Hours (But Keeps 'Enlightened')

2011-12-20 Thread Mark Jeffries
The Mike White sitcom starring Laura Dern, which initially was panned
but followed Barnhart's Rule of Premium Channel Shows in getting
better as it went along, according to some critics, got renewed--gone
after three years are the male pimp sitcom "Hung" (despite Thomas
Jane's Golden Globe nomination) and the Zach Galfanakis/Ted Danson
show "Bored to Death," while "How to Make It in America" leaves after
two seasons:

http://www.deadline.com/2011/12/hbo-renews-enlightened-cancels-hung-bored-to-death-how-to-make-it-in-america/

"Enlightened" may be the only returning live-action half-hour on HBO
next year (unless Larry David decides to do another season of "Curb
Your Enthusiasm")--among the new shows are Ricky Gervais' midgetcom
"Life's Too Short," which has already aired on BBC2 in the UK.

RE: [TV orNotTV] RE: OFF TOPIC Computer repair

2011-12-20 Thread Melissa PollaK
I've been thinking along the same lines.

I'm really intrigued by the Beats audio featured on certain HP machines.
Just this morning I was thinking that their price will probably drop next
year.  (And, maybe they'll come in real colors, e.g., what is dark "umber"?)

Also, lighter (in weight) has been a big priority since the time I dragged
the Dell to Las Vegas and Memphis, experiences which resulted in the
purchase of the netbook as soon as they went on the market.

BTW I do now own a tablet.  I bought one of those fire-sale HP Touchpads,
and I think it's nifty although I've barely had any time to play with it.

For $200, I think you should be good.

Sounds like there will be some neat stuff coming out next year with
the new generation of Ultrabooks (very thin & light laptops similar to
the MacBook Air) coming out, and the cost of solid state drives coming
down. It is probably worth your while keeping this one running for
another year with the $200 repair.

Dave did a real nice job with this; given the little I knew about her
already, and what we learned from watching KO, Dave seemed to really honor
her not just with his words but with his tone. The video tribute was nice
in that it confirmed for me what I suspected (she was the woman who named
her dog asshole after Dave), but it did seem a little unfinished and rushed
- but then apparently most of the staff had been at the funeral earlier
that day. Dave also finished off with his own "fuck you" to cancer.

Dave took the entire second segment to talk about her, and was very
touching. He did say she was part of the group at NBC.

I have a friend who is heading in to the hospital this morning for a
three-pack of ops after having a diagnosis of breast cancer earlier
this year. They caught it so early it was labeled "Stage 0" (and what
the fuck is that name? That name had to come from the same doofuses
who came up with "preboard" for airplanes), but they're going to go
in, do some cleaning out, give her about six weeks of radiation and do
a lube, oil and filter change. I've gotten a little more aware and
sensitive toward these things (this is on top of my wife's aunt who
literally went in to see the doctor for a cough and muscle ache and
came out with a Stage 4 diagnosis on her lungs). This kind of hit a
little closer than I'd have liked.

I've said before, and will say again: fuck cancer.
