Hope she remembers the old man at Christmas and birthday time! Of course with the BMW payments she might not be able to afford to buy trains for dad!

... got a cousin-in-law with a new ford excursion with a extra special 140dB+ stereo/digital radio/CD/DVD system (he makes under $30k a year) who is having a 3000+ sq. footer custom "dream home" built in rural PA with his second wife's injury settlement money (she has just quit her job) that they have not yet received any payments or the checks for yet [V]

gripe, mule, pule, complain....

The hype exceded the program - as usual. Most final shows are contrived and this was super-contrived. Blaah!!

This morning on Howard Stern's radio show he played a clip of people from last night. Probably done on purpose but a lot of them were hysterical. He said that he wondered how many people would commit suicide because they couldn't handle the show being finished. He brought up a good point. I know people who have watched it since it started in '94 most of them were very sad that this was the last season.

We had a close call with the Simpsons!! (my show of preference) glad we are getting four more years.

Friends
Extreme Makeover
American Idol

I don't watch. BORING!

Give me the science or history channel any day (or the Simpsons).

Hard to believe that the Simpsons is still in first runs. That show jumped the shark a looooong time ago

We never got into Friends. I do miss Seinfeld, though.

I can honestly say I have never watched an episode of friends or seinfeld. I used to watch the Simpsons when they were on Friday nights but I don't catch them much anymore. I'm not a huge tv watcher period.

Jim is right about Austin City Limits. I thought Friends was too silly. Do think folks can be as dumb as a couple of the folks on there. I like Law and Order and especially SVU series. I also watch Third Watch. I worked with cops most of my life and my son is one so I guess I go for those.

I don't watch too much TV either. I saw part of an episode of Friends and it just looked stupid to me.

Agree Jim. It is the best music show on TV. A lot of different styles, all actually playing live. I usually have to search around for it, someitmes on at 11 on Saturdays, sometimes different times, but worth searching for. I've become a music fan of some of the folks I've seen on the show. It's not that I've never heard of the artists before, but seeing an entire live set can give me an appreciation of what they're doing that 3 minutes on the radio just doesn't seem to do.

Oh wait, we're supposed to be talking about trains....
