What is it?

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.  Commonly referred to as "Seinfeld on Crack".  So very funny, they're just filming Season Three and prepping the DVD release of the first two seasons.

Last night I had the greatest argument ever with one of my friends.  My point: Curb Your Enthusiasm is a better show than Seinfeld.  It was an extremely heated battle, but I swayed him.

Did you use the old 'none of the cast are racist as far as we know' angle?  ;)

[dragonboy]

Seriously though, that's a tough one...
I'm leaning towards Seinfeld, what was your winning argument?

I pretty much won it by riding on the strength of Larry David's writing (or lack of) and the excellent acting in Curb.  

The big one he had was how innovative Seinfeld was at the time.

We both agreed that Curb is funnier.   :)

As maddening as it is that a butchered WKRP in Cincinnati Season I will be released soon on DVD, I'm pleased that one of the best shows on TV got renewed for a 4th season (albeit shortened to at least 13 episodes): Battlestar Galactica.

The movie is dreadful.

[harristrensky]

I dont see why everyone hated the movie. Its just like a longer episode, I laughed alot.

[Jaimoe]

I laughed once. I found it generally painful to watch.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm
well simply..... are you a fan of the show?
if so then i am totally confused because it didnt stray far from the general feel of the tv show.  so i dont get your response if you are a fan.

I've never seen the TV show. Hopefully it's better. The humour in the film seemed forced.
