I've finally digested the list of the Top 50 TV Icons. Omigod, Jimmy Smits is on there. I can't help but think of Krusty the Clown when I see him. "And I'll be played by Jimmy Smits!"

I Don't Get The High Ranking:

49. Calista Flockhart
39. Jennifer Aniston
37. George Clooney
31. Sarah Jessica Parker

Should Be Higher:

50. Larry Hagman
34. Bob Barker ("Truth or Consequences and "The Price Is Right". Enough said.)
28. Howard Cosell (Monday Night Football. Ali. Dominant for a long time.)
19. Andy Griffith (We are almost cradle-to-grave with that guy.)

Missing:

James Garner (What a serious omission. I'm such a fanboy, I have some of his phone messages from "Rockford" on my iPod. "Jimmy, old buddy, buddy. It's Angel. You know how they allow you one phone call. Well...this is it.")
Bugs Bunny (Every Saturday morning. Damn, every week and he's not on here.)
Steve Allen (Hello? What am I missing?)
Dave Diles (C'mon. The Prudential College Scoreboard! Bah!)

Other TV sounds on my iPod that I like:

Frank Costanza: "I find tinsel distracting."

Fox Mulder: "Whatever tape you found in that VCR isn't mine."
Dana Scully: "Good. Because I put it back in that drawer with all those other videos that aren't yours."

"THEY BROKE ELIAN"S BED!!!!!"

Meal of Links

Well, Hugh Grant sold his Warhol for $24 million. I guess he can afford a few more box office disasters. However, this exhibit looks something to check out in Big D. Foreigners doing karaoke to The Smiths. I dunno, I think it looks interesting. I do a pretty good version of "Ask" myself.

The Cal Marching Band salutes old video games. Pong was funny.

TV is pushing the race card. And I think I laughed at everyone of the jokes.

The Henne/Hart/Carr Chart at the University of Michigan. Let's hope for a big win this year, men.
