1. That's me on the left
In the center is Lindsay, whose army jacket I wanted to sniff.

4. My girlfriend and I were watching it last night and decided that I was totally Sam when I was a kid.

7. I didn't know you were Jewish
But then, I didn't know I could play D&D, either. :shrug:

13. Pwned.
Though technically speaking, even though my family has been non-practicing for generations, my matrilineal bloodline is allegedly Jewish.

2. I so want to see it , but Ballbuster doesn't carry it.
Don't want to spend the money on Amazon yet, but if I have to I will. I so wished I watched it when it was on.

6. Great show with some fine actors
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 10:01 PM by pokerfan
NBC didn't deserve Judd Apatow. When they weren't preempting it, they were jerking it around the schedule.

9. ok, now i will have to check this out once I am back to watching
stuff again. I have all of "OZ" yet to watch. Based on that picture I would assume it was a kid's show but since you recommend it....

11. It's about the lives of a bunch of high school kids, but it's not typical high school show dreck.
It's excellent.

I used to watch a lot of Oz back in the day. Good show.

14. well, i just finished watching every episode of "the o.c" and
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 10:10 PM by jonnyblitz
really liked it, much to my surprise, and THAT was about high school kids and possibly could be considered dreck. I am almost afraid to publically post that I liked that show as much as I did. I never know what I will end up liking.

I watched Carnivale based on your recommendation and loved it except it was left hanging at the end because they cancelled it! the possiblities could have been so good for that show. *sigh* :(

16. Oh man, don't even get me started on Carnivale.
I will forever loathe HBO for canceling that. x(

15. I never saw it, but I kept hearing that it was a wonderful
intelligent, witty show. It's too bad that a show like that didn't stay on the air longer.

The horrible formulaic sitcoms, legal dramas, and medical dramas all seem to last forever. And the fake reality shows somehow attract an audience. I think the shows that people can watch without needing to turn on their brains attract an automatic audience. but if you need to think occasionally to get the context and humor of a show people don't tune in.

26. Luckily no, but I went to a small school so there weren't many bullies.
I probably would have though. :P

I was just really nerdy and had bad luck with girls like Sam. But I covered it up with being a skater kid, haah.

27. I went to a small school with plenty of bullies in it, and they always picked on me. (Proof that
the "popular cheerleader" stereotype is a stupid myth.)
