After a Day of Tube-Watching (Yesterday), I Must Discuss... and Nudge Your World

Trying to be cute and funny all the time is tiring:


What?! Did you think I was talking about myself?!


So, do any of the rest of you watch "The Class"? I know it's probably below you guys... but it was laugh-out-loud funny this past week. Maybe it'll be the next "Friends". Maybe not... but if it is, you heard it here first. And mostly because I have no other ideas at the moment (and it's what's on my mind), here's the 4-1-1 on the characters... just in case you decide to tune in next week.

There are three "couples" who are so worth watching:
1) First and foremost, the funniest characters on the show: Kat and Ethan. Obviously, they'll be getting together sooner or later, but for now, they're just friends. Kat is cynical as all get-out and Ethan is the eternal optimist, looking for love in all the wrong places. On last week's episode, Ethan (a pediatrician) set Kat up with her stalkee (whose kid happened to be a patient). Kat was upset... since it's always a let-down to get to know the man you're stalking in "real-life". But she ended up liking him... only to be let down by the fact that he didn't call in the next couple of days. So, she took her phone to Ethan... turned him into the girl waiting for the phone call.
2) Duncan and Nicole. The high school sweethearts who broke up way back when and are falling for each other all over again. But, oops... Nicole is married to an ex-NFL football star and Duncan still lives at home with his mom. These two are pretty much the glue that holds everyone together. You can count on at least one sweet moment between them each week, and they're always good for a laugh or two. One of my fave sweet moments... Duncan's "Walking Away From Me" song for Nicole in the episode in the bar (I think it's called "The Class Goes to a Bar" or something like that... unfortunately, though, you won't find the song anywhere on the 'net! Can you believe there's something out there that I CAN'T FIND on the 'net?!).
3) Lina and Richie. Lina is Kat's sister who got run over on the first episode by Richie... after they went out (date-ish) for coffee. They're dating, but Richie is the shy, nervous, never-very-popular guy... which makes for a very funny (and underwhelming) last episode ("The Class Hits It").
4) The other characters (Kyle & Holly) have their moments, but they haven't really been featured... well, interestingly. Although, Kyle is starting to be funnier as Ethan's friend. We'll see...

Anyway, if you're at all interested, go watch the funniest-yet last episode of "The Class" at http://www.cbs.com/primetime/the_class/. It's silly, but it made me laugh. And I like sharing things that make me laugh.

And while I'm talking about TV... I happened to catch Terri & Bindi Irwin on Dave tonight. Have you seen that little girl?!?! I guess I've just read about her and never actually seen her on any of the shows she's been doing. Bindi blew me away. She is the most articulate, exciteable, energetic, sweet little 8-year-old! If you haven't seen an interview with her, find one on YouTube right away. (Interesting side-note... did you know Terri Irwin is from Oregon?)
