But the category doesn’t have to be sports. Here are a few over-unders. I’m the self-appointed odds maker. Get your bets down.
THE OVER-UNDER…
…on Steven Soderbergh coming out of retirement -- 3 years. He’ll find a script or project that he just “had” to do. Or his investments will tank and he’ll run to OCEANS 16.
… on the number of new steroid charges implicating Alex Rodriquez – 5. If investigators dig deeply enough they’ll probably find his name among the Watergate burglars.
… on the number of stupid questions Sam Rubin will ask during the Oscars red carpet show – 25. The show is only an hour and he has a co-host.
… on the number of years Lena Dunham is the flavor-of-the-month – 3. Since she writes, directs, and acts you have to take Diablo Cody’s flavor-of-the-month tenure and multiply by three.
….on the number of years Seth MacFarlane hosts the Oscars – 1.
…on the number of shows Chuck Lorre will have on the air next year – 4. He’s the Dick Wolf of CBS.
…on the number of years before big movie star Nicole Kidman winds up on television starring in the spinoff, NCIS-WALLA WALLA – 3.
…on the number of times NBC develops a reboot of THE MUNSTERS – 37.
…on the number of years until Justin Bieber is performing at Six Flags Magic Mountain: 6. It would be 5 but he’ll be touring for a year in the national roadshow of BOOK OF MORMON.
…on the number of times Lindsay Lohan is arrested this year – 8. And none of them will be her fault.
…on the number of TWILIGHT sequels that will be released this year – 6. They hope to surpass the James Bond franchise of 50 films by June.
…on the number of years before Hugh Hefner leaves his latest wife Crystal Harris – 1. That’s when she turns 25 and will be too old for him.
…on the number of guys who look forward to Valentine’s Day – 0.
Feel free to weigh-in on these or offer your own.

By the time Aniston and David Schwimmer do the Rachel & Ross spinoff, the kid from Friends (Emma) is going to be a teenager. Which opens up all new possibilities.
"….on the number of years Seth MacFarlane hosts the Oscars – 1."
Well if these trailers are anything to go by... unless he's deliberately lowering the odds, and he's going to be Billy Crystal on the night.
...on the number of sequels to movies starring Russell Brand - 0.
Steven Soderbergh -- OVER. But I have no doubt he'll return. (And I'll be very happy when he does.)
Seth MacFarlane -- Um... UNDER? (I can't pick OVER!)
Chuck Lorre -- UNDER. Surely I'm not the only one tired of Chuck Lorre?
Jennifer Aniston -- OVER. David Schwimmer is already running for the hills.
Justin Bieber -- OVER. Don't forget the years he'll lose as a crack addict!
TWILIGHT -- UNDER. Sequels? How passe! Isn't it time for a reboot?
On the number of women looking forward to Valentines Day - how long is the newest prime number again?
Number of men looking forward to Valentine's Day (0). I'll take the under.
I know the concerns about McFarlane, but I thought he was fine announcing the nominations. He might turn out to be like Luis Gonzales (one or two great years, perhaps juiced, perhaps not).
OT,
Ken, would love to hear your thoughts on Mark Evanier's post today about KHJ.
NCIS-Walla Walla, now that's funny!
...on the number of years in a row any celebrity hosts the Oscars - 1
I think there's ONE guy who looks forward to Valentine's Day...or at least February 14th.
Just a minor correction....50 *years* of Bond movies. 23 films (or 25 if you count early Casino Royale & Never Say Never Again)
-sammy
NCIS - Wall Walla absolutely HAS to have a character that was a former LA Radio Production genius named Howard that helps Nicole out by analyzing audio recordings of different crimes. But he has to be a little quirky. Maybe randomly shouting "NINE" for no reason whatsoever.
The number of times Ken Levine will:
Pimp his book (20) by the time baseball season starts...
Mention (12) the greatest announcer (that's Vin Scully, in case you're wondering) in all of baseball during spring training...
AND
The number (1) of no-hitters Ken calls during the Mariners season.
Since Ken won't be announcing for the M's this season, the answer has to be 0.
Number of years before Justin Bieber is caught in a "compromising situation" with Andrew Rannells, Zachary Quinto & Jonathan Groff - 8.5
Number of years before Dennis Miller is actually funny again - infinity.
NCIS Walla Walla is less unlikely than you may think. My dad did his basic training for the Navy during World War II at Moscow, Idaho, which is further inland than Walla Walla.
My guess? Within five minutes of starting his opening monologue, Seth MacFarlane will discover to his surprise that when you make jokes intended to offend gays and Jews -- and this time you're not hiding behind animated characters or a teddy bear -- gays and Jews actually get offended.
Yea, (regarding NCIS--Walla Walla) but although the town has a penitentiary, that many murder would wipe out the entire city.
I'll take the under "six feet under" on the Munters reboots
Munsters, sorry.
