LOL BLONDE'S HEAD IS HUEG

The Nanny's theme song was pretty catchy, at least.

The Nanny still plays on sky in the uk I believe although it does appear to have dissapeared from in flight entertainment.

Fran Drescher >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kevin James

oh in every possible way

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Fran Drescher: was in "UHF"
Kevin James: was in "Hitch"

ADV: DRESCHER

what the fuck is wrong with this country

― urghonomic (gcannon), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

See, I've always figured the only people who'd be able to sit through that show would be either (a) New Yorkers who feel some sort of kinship with the show's types (the whole thing seems to have the same perspective and reference points as, say, the inside pages of the New York Post) or else (b) people from far elsewhere who find it totally ridiculous and hilarious that hahahaha that must be how people from New York actually act (e.g. people who think "oy vey" is a comic catchphrase).

Fran Drescher = has been unspreakably awful since approx 1992
Kevin James = less awful
MATCH: JAMES (and if you can seriously tell me you'd rather watch that aborted Drescher sitcom from a year or two back than King of Queens then I will tape-record your saying so and probably have grounds to have you committed)

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I personally would rather watch kittens being anally raped by orangutans than King of Queens.

haha "unspreakably"

you're forgetting something: leah rimini

― urghonomic (gcannon), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

the survival and popularity of "the nanny" really strains my cultural libertarianism

― urghonomic (gcannon), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Leah Remini went from being awesome to not-very-awesome-at-all almost within nanoseconds of being on "King of Queens".

Honestly I'd rather not watch either but it seems to me that "The Nanny" wholeheartedly embraces the ludicrousness and total unreality of its premise and characters in true 60s-golden-age-of-sitcoms style that lets me forgive a lot of its obvious flaws whereas "King of Queens" is grasping for an "Everybody Loves Raymond"-esque veneer of plausibility, firmly consigning it into the Bucket Of Eternal Suckdom.

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, are you implying that Everybody Loves Raymond is plausible??

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I am implying that" Everybody Loves Raymond" wants you to think it's plausible. It's like the difference between "Seinfeld" (patently ridiculous and totally knowing about it) and "Friends" (patently ridiculous but pretending it's totally logical and consistent).

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost okay that's me sidetracked

that girl has a big head??

― urghonomic (gcannon), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

wiat that means i have a big head dunnit

― urghonomic (gcannon), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

This is a sentence / rhetorical tactic I never thought I'd have to type / adopt in my life, but: you, sir, are woefully uninformed vis a vis the King of Queens, etc. (Okay no but seriously, I'm not sure I see any veneer of plausibility involved, and every one I've seen has been fairly ridiculous, including stuff like James faking a heart attack to avoid revealing he can't remember someone's name, or Patton Oswalt trying to get with other people's moms. It's so totally a Seinfeld-model show, all ludicrous coincidences. I mean, Lou Ferigno is their neighbor.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Seriously, fuck you for making me be all like "I think your understanding of The Kind of Queens is a bit unsophisticated, let me break it down for you..."

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:53 (seventeen years ago) link

You started it. Why don't you go blow Kevin James and get it over with, dude!!

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (Allyzay Ei, Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

this will probably get me banned from ILNFL, but I like the King of Queens.

― clevo lk (clevo lk), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I've been pretty clear that I'm looking to see Adam Sandler do that, at the end of this movie.

ha ive often wondered who watches sitcoms

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean they keep making them and all

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

king of queens is on approximately 15 times a day in chicago. it's ubiquity is probably what will drive me back to cable. i hate that fucking show but every now and again jerry stiller will be so over the top retarded that i can't help but laugh. THERE'S a dude i will mourn when he goes.

oh, and fran drescher was bobbi fleckman, that gives her a pass for the rest of the 20th century. she's on borrowed time now though.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

My excuse is that I see no reason to distinguish between "The King of Queens" and "Still Standing", ergo every argument I've advanced has had an example episode of "Still Standing" where "The King Of Queens" should be.

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Just want to stop in to say that I would rather eat a pizza than have sex with fran drescher, for the record.

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh now what the hell is "Still Standing"

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (Allyzay Ei, Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but WHAT pizza? Despite what they say, there is such a thing as bad pizza.

I think you Drescher-haters are completely missing the crucial fact that BODY IS SLAMMIN

yes, ergo the "she's on borrowed time now though" comment. i included it to indicate i can't fault her for "the nanny" no matter how fucking retarded i may have found it.

It really doesn't matter how many times you say it, people be people, dudes.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (Allyzay Ei, Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I would actually have LIKED "Still Standing" if it had been called "Some Bullsh*t".

― Jesus Dan (dan perry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i think you're missing the fact that body was "slammin" for a 47 year old but that was a decade ago.

re: "still standing", i know that show but the only thing i know of it is to turn it off if it's on. i never knew the name of it until now.

I was actually going to say something upthread about how having a comely shape does not make someone non-horrible, but I was trying not to be superficial and lookist and stuff. But yeah, when she came back with that "I'm dating a 20-something hunk" sitcom one of its main problems seemed to be that there was nothing all that fish-out-of-water about the premise, cause you'd see her in jeans in the commercials and be all like "yeah, that makes sense."

I've seen exactly one episode of Still Standing, do not plan on seeing any additional episodes of Still Standing, and yes, Dan, your "OMG why does it think we take these characters seriously" complaint would appear to actually work for that one.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Also from what I saw it seemed to have a "please decide which stock sitcom character types each of these people is supposed to be" problem, cause I spent the whole episode going "wait, I thought she was supposed to be the uptight dork one???"

Judging by that period when I was working weird hours, the best of the recent in-syndication sitcoms is totally Yes, Dear.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

What the hell is Yes, Dear!! You are making these all up now, right?

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (Allyzay Ei, Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

i prefer the smith family... continued or jimmy in the city.

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes Dear sucks more balls than a boystown bath house. fuck anthony clark and that other moron retard who played his neighbor. i really really really detest that show. so unfunny. so painful to watch. god, how does a piece of shit like that get made and then stay on the air long enough to get a syndication deal.

i hate this country sometimes. usually when i think about crap like yes, dear.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

It's a show that includes Tim Conway dressed up as an off-brand Superman!!!

ihttp://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0309/25/yesdear2th.jpg

Plus let me again point out that you sitcom detractors have clearly never even seen the sitcoms you pretend to hate: the other moron retard is his brother-in-law and LIVES WITH HIM, not his neighbor. That's the entire premise of the show. Possibly that was just TOO SOPHISTICATED and went over your head, SITCOM-HATER.
