I have a thing for redheads, too. Khandi and it isn’t a contest.

News Radio was good comedy but Seinfeld's situational comedy writing was just on another level from everyone.

Well Newsradio was created by Paul Simms, who also made the Larry Sanders show, Flight of the Concords, and Atlanta.

You’re wrong, of course, but you have a right to your own opinion. If you’re comparing hotness of women, Seinfeld crushes NewsRadio and it’s not even close. Seinfeld pushed the envelope, NewsRadio didn’t. There’s no analog on NewsRadio to The Contest or The Outing (NTTAWWT). And comparing Stephen Root to Michael Richards (or Jimmy James to Kramer...get it right...do you even know the names of the characters in NewsRadio?) is apples to oranges. Stephen Root doesn’t do physical comedy. See the scene in The Sniffing Accountant episode of Seinfeld when Kramer chugs a beer while smoking a cigarette. That’s unparalleled.

3rd Rock From The Sun was as good as NewsRadio. Seinfeld was in a different league.

3rd Rock from the Sun doesn't get the recognition today it deserves. That was a fun and well done screwball comedy

I’m pretty sure Garry Shandling had a little something to do with creating The Larry Sanders Show.

There are still reruns in syndication. It’s still hilarious.

Such a great cast and great writing. I remember thinking, “What is John Lithgow doing in a sitcom?” It usually takes a few episodes for a sitcom to establish itself but I got that from the start. I don’t think it would’ve worked without Lithgow’s over-the-top performance as Dick Solomon. Casting Jane Curtin as his love interest was perfect.

And they had great guest stars like Jan Hooks, and John Cleese. And William Shatner as The Big Giant Head.

Before that post, I stayed out of the ztejas-WhatTheBuck wars. But I no longer have the luxury of neutrality. Your opinion sucks.

Gosh, that hurts. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
