Eltit On Deen

I found out through this post from Marc that DVD bootlegs of the entire Dr. Katz series are going around for sale on eBay. I used to watch this show all the time in college and have been waiting ever since they started releasing DVDs of TV shows for it to come out. That has yet to happen. A bootleg will have to do for now, I suppose.

Speaking of goofy and wonderful TV shows, I've finally gotten into Adult Swim's Robot Chicken. I've only caught one full episode (#16) so far, but both times I saw it I was LOLing like a madman. Scenes like the Smurfs dealing with an axe murderer, the totally awesome girl bit, and even the robot incessantly trying to hump a dryer had me in stitches. Check it out if you haven't already. It airs Sundays at midnight (and again on Thursdays) on Cartoon Network.

I started my first flickr group. It is based on the fact that I often find my cat, Wally, sitting up like a person (as seen here). It's called Like a Person, naturally. We have 30 members so far.

Ah yes. The three-day weekend. I love it so. The highlight as of yet looks to be Sunday, when I will daytrip up to Baltimore for photo-taking and buying stuff at my usual shopping destinations: Sound Garden, Atomic Books, Normals, and all those other cool shops on The Avenue. [Note to self: Please to not spend all yer money!!!]

I figure I might like Dr. Katz more now than I did when it was first out. I'm definitely down with R.Chicken (this is the convention Asimov uses for Robot names, as in "R. Daneel Olivaw"), let's check all those out.

You might like it more now, yeah. I've been a fan from day 1. Squigglevision, man. The best parts of Dr. Katz are usually the inbetween interactions rather than the guest appearances--it all depends on the comedian.

YES! Dr. Katz was my favorite show for a while. I remember I had finally bought cable TV (with an entire 60 channels!) and was so happy. I would keep my TV tuned to comedy central as I believe it was a new channel then, at least to me.

Thankfully, I discovered this show.

Joey: If you're really in need of a Dr. Katz fix, these bootlegs aren't too bad. I got mine the other day and have watched a few episodes. I'm gonna write something about the one I ended up with, so check back.
