I really like 'Rescue Me' but then I think Leary is great anyway.
Last night's episode was great, especially the whole Hindenburg (sp?) bit.
Priceless line from Leary in 'The Ref' 'Lady, your husband's not dead--he's hiding.'
"You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas, Mom? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it."
I use that line on my mom occasionally.
And he says to me, he says, "I don't like the cut of your jib," and I go, I says, "It's the only jib I got, baby!"
Oh, yeah, that's another good one! There's a lot of great lines in that movie. I haven't had to use that line on my mom, but I can see where it would come in handy!
That's what Xena's Guy calls "TV science." You also see quite a bit of it in commercials for hair-care products.

Yeah....man!
There's just something about a redhead with no upper lip and an overly-exaggerated Okie bumpkin-drawl that just TWANGS MY BUDS!!!!!
Ick. (just my opinion...) :-)
You've seen more than one episode of CSI and Law & Order.
Being as I'm 35 and a liberal arts major, the extent of my science knowledge is encompassed in the phrases "flux capacitor" and "1.21 gigawatts."
FYI, you we may disagree on porn (heh), but I've been Buffy fan since day 1. I have all the released seasons on DVD and would be happy to answer any character questions or anything like that if you ever have any.
I canna give ye any more pow'r, Captain, she's a'gonna blooow!
"He says to me, 'Baby I'm TIRED of workin' for the MAN!' I says, I says, WHY DON'T YOU BLOW HIM TO BITS?"
"And so he says to me, 'You got legs, baby, you're everywhere. YOU'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE!'"
And of course, from The Tick himself:
"Y'know, evil comes in many forms, whether it be a man-eating cow or Joseph Stalin, but you can't let the package hide the pudding! Evil is just plain bad! You don't cotton to it. You gotta smack it in the nose with the rolled-up newspaper of justice! Bad dog! Bad dog! "
"Eating kittens is just plain... plain wrong! And no one should do it, ever!"
"Deadly Bulb! I'm about to write you a reality check! Or would you prefer the cold, hard cash of truth?"
"Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once! Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope! And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception!"
"Gravity is a harsh mistress."
I play devils advocate on porn all the time but the first time I saw a neked woman in a magazine I was about 10 and it changed my whole life. Not for the better.
Regarding Buffy, it is amazing how much we like this series. We just watched the ones yesterday in season 3 where Tammy turns herself into a rat because that demon which I think of as the spirit of salem had the town turned into witch burners. Then we saw the one where Giles poisons Buffy, it's called helpless. I think that was a bit out of character for him. Even if it was a tradition I really don't see him doing that. We all thought it was Giles' evil friend disguised. So it's a pretty tough I believe button to push but when you get past the idea of his poisoning her, it was extremely touching when he was fired for having a father's love for her. That was yet another misty eye moment for me. Earlier she was hinting to Giles to take her to the skating show that her dad cancelled on.
So far my wife's biggest cry moment was when she killed Angel. The opinion on imdb about the series is all over the map as far as best and worst seasons but one thing is sure, they agree it is some of the best TV ever and you can not watch an episode in a vacuum. Each entire season is dependent on all of the episodes.
I can't help but wonder if there is this 7 season spell being cast on my family and I turning us into pagans if we watch all 7 seasons in succession.
I do not agree with "7th Heaven" being family friendly. It's nothing more than liberal swill. Just because a show has the word Heaven in the title and the father is a minister does not make it acceptable. They expose kids to objectionable issues and content. Besides, those kids and their parents are just obnoxious.
"Everybody Loves Raymond", while a funny show, is definately NOT family friendly. It's got adult subject matter, half of the time they're in bed, and they're always talking about sex.
Bernie Mac is about the only thing I agree with. Other than CSI, I don't watch any of the rest of them, and if I had children, I wouldn't watch CSI with them. It's still a great show, though.
