(Marcia Cross over Eva, Ryan Zimmerman over Evan)<br />Ferguson over Kimmel (Craig is so <i>real</i>)<br />Adele over Barbra <br />Ledger over Dean (more versatile)<br />Witherspoon over Pieces (candy never won an Oscar or voiced Ginormica in "Monsters Vs. Aliens")<br />old HAWAII FIVE-0 over new (revived TV series rarely match the original)<br />Facebook over Twitter (a limit to 140 characters?)<br />Aflac over Affleck (he won't give me cash if I miss work, and never made a commercial with Yogi Berra)<br />Olbermann over Maher (Could the latter write a baseball blog? Didn't think so, either)<br />Mitch or Cam? (Huh?)<br />Claire or Gloria? (Ibid.)<br />Iron Man or Iron Chef? (Let me first see the 1931 "Iron Man," with Lew Ayres as a boxer, not a comic-book character, and Jean Harlow as his romantic interest.)<br />Kutcher over Sheen (Ashton's been an okay actor since "That '70s Show" -- whatever happened to Laura Prepon? -- but both he and Sheen have worn out their welcome) <br />Flintstones over Jetsons (the Simpsons trump both)<br />FRASIER over CHEERS (Jane Leeves, Eddie and Seattle > Boston)<br />Reeve over Reeves (I interviewed Christopher in 1997, a gallant man; even before his accident he'd been involved in many good causes)<br />Egg McMuffin or Breakfast Jack?

(Mr. Peabody over either.)<br />IDOL or X-FACTOR? (Have never watched either.)<br />Elvis over Lou (EC's lyrical wordplay > Lou's comedic wordplay)<br />Costello over Andrus (without playing baseball, EC has more power) <br />Buzz over Woody (if only for "to infinity -- and beyond!")<br />Woody over Mel (if it's Allen vs. Brooks; if the "Mel" is Blanc and the "Woody" Woodpecker...)<br />Picard over Kirk (he wouldn't try to sell me something)<br />AMA Awards or ACM Awards? (Does it matter?)<br />Buck (Fox) or Buck (MIDNIGHT COWBOY)? (Let's switch the two; we'd at least get a baseball announcer with more enthusiasm.)<br />Laverne or Shirley? (Not sure, but I'll take Zelda over Hilda if we're discussing Sabrina's TV aunts.)<br />Macy’s over Rose (if I hear that phrase "granddaddy of them all" for the Rose Bowl one more time, no telling what I might do.)<br />Baltimore Colts or Baltimore Ravens? (Neither, as a Washington fan)<br />Cain over Thomas (Cain is funnier, and doesn't hold government office...let's hope he never will)<br />Pubic hair on Coke can or Pepsi can? (Not touching that one.)<br />COMMUNITY over ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (if only because there's less of a "cult" around it)<br />Kim Kardashian or Jenna Jamison? (Implying their talents are similar?)<br />Subways over buses (thanks to GM, Firestone and other companies, streetcars don't figure into the debate. "Roger Rabbit" was right!)<br />Mays over Pujols (Mays did more defensively at a more challenging position. I wish both had been able to play in the Polo Grounds for their entire careers.)<br />Zombies or Vampires? (I'll take witches over either, especially if they look like Elizabeth Montgomery or Melissa Joan Hart.)<br />Gerry & the Pacemakers over the Zombies (if only for "I'll Be There," a beautiful ballad written by Bobby Darin, not to be confused with the fine Jackson Five song)<br />A crutch over Sandler (it's funnier)<br />Christmas over New Year’sVP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-17843629781593843622011-12-15T23:20:21.251-08:002011-12-15T23:20:21.251-08:00Apparently I have not read you long enough Mr. Lev...Apparently I have not read you long enough Mr. Levine, but I have just discovered Ms. Moorehead.

I could never take Cher the actress seriously. Come on. That one where she was a public defender and she wore a buckskin tassled-leather coat <i><b>IN COURT AS SHE DEFENDED LAIM NEESON FOR MURDER!</b></i> Good lord, how silly. Pauline Kael said that outfit "had nothing to do with being a lawyer, but everything in the world to do with being Cher." I was amused by her in <i>Witches of Eastwick.</i><br /><br />I am glad to say I have never been "exposed to Cher." Little Dougie tried to be exposed to Cher once, but he was apprehended in time.Tallulah Moreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416330735326405496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-22359396531443491482011-12-15T20:40:38.814-08:002011-12-15T20:40:38.814-08:00When I wrote above "I'll keep this quick,...When I wrote above "I'll keep this quick," I meant of course, "I will now expound at length on matters of interest only to me."<br /><br />A good Woody can give me a more than sufficient Buzz. And vice versa. (Which is how I like my vice: versa.)<br /><br />Speaking of Woody: Mel, defintiely Mel. Woody is so pretentious. Mel just wants you to laugh. And Mel has many times been very nice to me. He did not kick me off the set of <i>Young Frankenstein</i>, which he certianly could have, as I had merely snuck in and had no business being there. Woody does not strike one as "approachable."<br /><br />Also, Mel never screwed his underage stepdaughter. I'll bet if I were a hot teenage girl, Woody would seem highly approachable.<br /><br />I am contracually obligated to choose Tallulah Morehead over Cher, no matter how gay I am.<br /><br />New hot young Kirk over Shatner's Kirk? That is the question. And my answer is: new hot young Kirk, in large part because that way, he is not William Shatner.<br /><br />For sex: Paul Rudd, major cutiepie. For making me laugh till it hurts, Paul Rudnick. (Also, in 1996 I won two, count 'em, two, acting awards, one presentnted to me by the late Miss Betty Garrett, for playing the ghost of John Barrymore in Paul Rudnick's play <i>I Hate Hamlet</i>. Thanks Paul, your jokes won me those awards.)<br /><br />Rose Parade. Always watched it, every year of my life. I have never seen the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Big Balloon Procession. <br /><br />The invention of home video vastly improved my personal Rose Parade viewing experience, since it permanently moved the parade's timeslot from "Ridculously Early on New Year's Morning, When Anyone Who Had Had a Decent - By Which I mean 'Indecent' - New Year's Eve Is Asleep" to "Some Evening Days, Weeks, even Months, Later When There's Nothing to Watch on TV." Plus, now I can fast-forward through all marching bands. The parade is so much shorter that way.<br /><br />In 1967, when I was 17, I went to the Rose Parade in person and saw President Eisenhower ride by, apparently unscrewing an invisible lightbulb with his right hand as he rolled slowly by. You never forget seeing the man who defeated Hitler, no matter how kitchy the floats are.<br /><br />The crutch over Adam Sandler, by a long, long way! My favorite crutch? Viagra. Tallulah's favorite crutch has always been liquor. In grade school, she once deliberately broke her leg, just so she could use vodka as a crutch.D.

I specified that I liked Cher in her 1980s movies (such as <i>Silkwood, Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean, Moonstruck, Mask,</i> etc.) - in no way does this mean I endorse or even slightly enjoy what she's become since. <br /><br />[My first exposure to Cher was on an 8-track tape anthology that came with our newish 1967 Pontiac station wagon, the first year GM offered a factory 8-track stereo deck; she sang Bob Dylan's "All I Really Want to Do." Only once have I heard a less appropriate cover version of a song: Eddy Arnold doing "My Sweet Lord" in a live performance I witnessed at the Allentown (PA) Fair when the song was new.]gottacooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-20985325884864223552011-12-15T20:08:09.401-08:002011-12-15T20:08:09.401-08:00According to my autobiography I was CONCEIVED in 1...According to my autobiography I was <b><i>CONCEIVED</i></b> in 1896.<br /><br />I was born on May 29, 1897, so I'm actually 114.

It may not end the pain, but it makes it more enjoyable.<br /><br />I am <i>sooo</i> Superman over Batman. Gee, a happy, hot guy who flies, or a violent nuerotic who dresses up like a bat so he can beat up on other psychopaths, while introducing a young boy he dresses in tights and short-shorts to a dicy lifestyle, shady characters, and a lot of danger. <br /><br />And while I'm at it, while I too grew up on George Reeves, come on. Chris Reeve's muscles weren't made of cotton padding. And overcoming total quadaplegia to act and direct again, as well as write books? Chris Reeve was <i>Truly</i> Superman. And bless the Reeve Foundation. Glad to see them commenting above. Good people doing great, important work. Meeting Chris Reeve was one of the best nights of my life. The most-inspiring man I have ever met.<br /><br />What about: George Reeves or Ben Affleck? (As Supes, George. As a toyboy for a night, Ben.)<br /><br />Bill Mahar, but Olbermann has a shot if he'll become an atheist also.<br /><br />James Dean or Heath Ledger? Well both were hot, but I prefer lovers still breathing, contrary to rumor.<br /><br />Definitely Ashton over Sheen. In fact, I'd pay to see Ashton top Sheen, but it has to be hardcore.<br /><br />Even though Elroy Jetson was my dear friend Daws Butler, fact is, I've never watched <i>The Jetsons</i> even once, though I watched <i>The Flintstones</i> for years. I have no idea why.<br /><br /><i>Frasier</i> over <i>Cheers</i> for me. I'm not a drinker nor a sports fan, so in reality, a sports bar is torture to me. I did love the show, but <i>Frasier</i> was about two gay brothers who never realized they were gay, and so was much more on my wavelength. But I love both shows. Seen every episode of both, multiple times.<br /><br />Jake Gyllenhall when he was dressed as Maggie Gyllenhall on <i>SNL</i>. Now there was a "woman" I found hot, if a poor dresser.<br /><br />I have always taken great taste over less filling, <i>always</i>, and in <i>everything!</i><br /><br />Disneyland! Where else? It's the only park Walt Disney himself ever walked. The others may be bigger and brighter and more modern, but on May 30, 1956, I saw Walt Disney in Frontierland with my own eyes. Disney World and the other Disney parks can never match that experience. <br /><br />I went to EuroDisney and enjoyed it. Lovely place, and the French people there are so polite that you <i>know</i> they're just robots! But it's not the same. You're not walking in Walt's footsteps, and when, on the train into Frontierland, the narration said: "We are now entering the American West," all I could think was: "No. I live in the American West. This is France."D. McEwannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-44498343156960026602011-12-15T19:55:44.791-08:002011-12-15T19:55:44.791-08:00I have an opinion on these:
