The Game Room / Re: State I .D. game

Arkansas. I was there a few weeks ago. I looked up the deepest lake and found that I was wrong (shortly after posting my answer), but figured changing my answer would be cheating.

I agree. I know which lake too.

I don't doubt that a lot of people found/find the show hilarious. I'm just saying that "I" never found it all that funny and couldn't understand what was so "hilarious" about Kramer. And I've seen numerous episodes, so I'm not just saying this to play the devil's advocate. I think the main problem I always had with the show was that none of the characters were likable. Dave Schwartz, for example, is very likable. Which makes his goofy antics funny. Kramer wasn't very likable. And there really wasn't anything behind his antics. He was just trying to be funny. And when you "try" to be funny, you loose me. Elaine was a b*****. George was a loser. Jerry was boring and way too picky w/women. Newman was alright. As was Putty (Elaine's boyfriend for a handful of episodes). George's parents were the least likable of the bunch. Which is weird b/c I loved Jerry Stiller in King Of Queens.

Kramer was the best fricken character!

People who love the show always say that and I don't get it. All he did was dress weird, make goofy noises, and fumble around. How is that funny?

I've never understood the appeal of Seinfeld.   

Me either. Don't get me wrong, it had its moments, but I'd hardly call it hilarious. I also never understood why people loved Kramer so much. He wasn't that funny. He was the Robin Williams of the cast (tried too hard to be funny) IMO. Kind of like Joey on Full House.

You want to help Tyler, but you don't know what he needs help with?

That's right, he did work late night. No wonder he's not a very familiar face. 

Must be why I'm one of the few that recognize him. I was mostly a late night viewer in those days.

I was not aware the search box wasn't working. I will look into it.

Looks like the form is linking to the front page, when it should link to whatever page you've placed the HTML and JavaScript for the results in.

You know, I actually agree with that. He always seemed to be quite a smooth talker on the air. I can definitely picture him as the hot shot type, the type that would harass the ladies because he thinks he's hot stuff.

Now you know why I've never cared much for the smooth talkers on TWC.

Hilarious. I get the feeling Dave doesn't really care much for the new "futuristic" Weather Channel.

Local Forecast / Re: G Love

« on: May 05, 2008, 06:15:45 PM »

IIRC Steve told me that G Love himself devocalized the songs and sent them to TWC. I'm looking for the local forecast versions, not ones off a CD (though professionally devocalized versions of the CD cuts would be awesome).

Does anyone have 2 minute audio clips of G Love's songs (especially "Booty Call")? I noticed that they are not on the site. Thanks.
