I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

My wife and I are watching Judge Judy right now. The first case is all about a guy who owes money to former landlords. He insists that he paid in full in cash every month and that they never gave him any receipts. It was pretty boring for about ten minutes, and then Judge Judy asked why they'd kick him out if he had paid in full; the guys yells out, "Because they caught me smoking crystal meth with their son!" Things just got interesting.
Rewatching Scrubs S1. Not really funny (the supporting cast hadn't found their rhythms yet) or emotionally deep, but there was always something about this show that made it better than other 'young professionals go through life' comedies.
"The fatal flaw of all revolutionaries is that they know how to tear things down but don't have a f**king clue about how to build anything."
I'm watching the 30 for 30 OJ documentary too, I got is on dvr when ESPN2 ran it in full a couple Sundays ago. The first two parts down with three tonight and four probably Friday. It has been really good and well worth the watch.
I kinda regret missing out on the FX miniseries this spring.

Im thinking about rewatching this soon now that Ive burned through 30 Rock. And I agree. The only other show that seemed to do the Sappy/Funny thing as well was Parks and Rec. Scrubs went a bit too sappy at times, but overall. It really became a top notch show to me with the 6th sense Brendan Frasier episode.
