My mother-in-law and sister-in-law were visiting for the weekend to celebrate the twins third birthday. My sister-in-law brought over a bunch of "Best of Muppet Show" DVDs and we had a blast tonight watching a couple episodes. See, though they have never watched any of the movies, my boys have become fascinated with Star Wars characters thanks to a gift of some Pez Dispensers last Christmas ("Daddy, can I play with Emperor Palpatine?"), so Jacob and Joshua went total ape-shit over the Mark Hammill / "Stars of Star Wars" episode. And I found out that I've had a little crush on Carol Burnett for a couple decades thanks to those airings our family used to watch on the CBC...

During tonight's episode of ABC's Lost (Tricia Tanaka Is Dead), it suddenly dawned on me what I had been missing from the show for a good amount of time (hm, maybe a year's worth of episodes?): The comedic chemistry/interplay between the "minor" characters. I didn't mind that no mysteries were resolved, nothing spooky/supernatural happened - but I really enjoyed the name-calling between Hurley, Sawyer, Jin and Charlie and watching Sawyer teach Jin some English. I also liked the "reunion" scene and the re-emergence of Sayid and Locke.

Maybe I liked this episode so much because it was a break from all the Others drama and from Jack?

From NBC's The Office 2006 Christmas Special tonight:

Bros before hos!
Why? Because your bros are always there for you
They have got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason
And you were nothing but great to your ho
And you told her that she was the only ho for you
And that she was better than all the other hos in the world
And then...and then suddenly...
She's not your ho no mo'

One of the laugh-out-loud moments from tonight. That, and seeing Michael Scott mark his new Asian "girlfriend"s arm with a magic marker so he could tell her apart from the other Asian girl. Completely outrageous and brilliant!
