Yes, PSYCH was renewed ahead of MONK by USA because of Tony Shahoub's contract which had to be negotiated before they'd OK a seventh season.

And, yes, DR George, the NBC runs on Sunday night will be rerun episodes of both shows. Before the writers' strike, NBC had planned to run LAW & ORDER and MEDIUM in a two hour block on Sunday night after football season concluded. With the strike, they had to ditch those plans and use those two shows in more familiar (and lucrative) timeslots.

I'd be surprised if they don't return to those slots next season. NBC would be very foolish to move them now that they've regained audience support at those times. Of course, NBC has made A LOT of foolish decisions in the past few years, so who knows where they'll go next year. Possibly back to the bench for midseason again.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I just got to the point last night where I knew that if I tried to stay awake even just one minute more, I was going to fall asleep sitting at my computer - and probably eventually end up sleeping on my computer. So, I hied myself to my bedroom, tucked myself into bed, turned off the lights, and the next thing I knew it was 8:30 this morning. But since I'm not working today, I allowed myself to stay in bed until a littler after 10:00...

I actually slept rather well last night, however, I had some strange dreams. It was like a series of vignettes starring myself and someone else from various parts of my life. And each segment would end with both of us going in for a kiss... And then it was right on to the next chapter. Sort of strange, sort of strangely romantic, and, in some cases, just plain creepy. -No more Deep-Fried Cadbury Eggs for me!

...And I just started running the dishwasher which, from what I could tell, was 'attempted' to run last night, but someone shut it off after the cycle had started. However, after I started it up again, it started making a big rumbling noise - which means we have an airlock somewhere in the pipes. I just let it run another second or two, and that cleared it up. So, in a few more minutes, we shall have clean dishes again. *And I guess I need to remind my roomies to stop pushing food garbage down the drain - which will also serve as a reminder that we don't have a garbage disposal. -'Cause when food stuffs get caught in the main drain, it can cause an airlock with the dishwasher's drainage system.

You obviously didn't see the film. The song is referencing one of the movie's subplots.

In the Robert Altman film, the 4077th unit's dentist is known as the Painless Pole (played by John Schuck). He's a ladies' man type who experiences one night of inexplicable impotence. He jumps to the conclusion that he must be gay, so he wants to kill himself. The other doctors agree to help him commit suicide, but in secret, they conspire to save his life. The succeed, and Painless doesn't commit suicide. Suicide is painless -- get it?

SPOILER ALERT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Last night, DR Ron Pulliam responded/commented:

This is an easily solved problem, Jose. Take a cloth shopping bag with you and put all your things inside it.

I actually have a much simpler solution which I utilize: I simply take the box and/or bottle out of the bags at the end of the conveyor belt, and carry them back to my apartment - which is just a block away - by hand.

And now I'm heading down to clean the bedroom areas (usually Thursday's chore), check the mail, and then start thinking about what's for lunch.

The theme song from PHYLLIS is another favorite, even though the ending joke had gotten just a little old by the fifteenth time I saw it.

"Who makes the fog surrounding the Golden Gate simply disappear?
Phyllis.
Phyllis.
Who makes the warning bells on the cable cars play the "Gangs All Here"?
Phyllis.
Phyllis.

Who charms the crabs at Fisherman's Wharf right out of their shell?
Who lights the lamps of Chinatown just by walking in view...
Who?

Phyllis!
Phyllis!
Phyllis!
It sure isn't you!"

And the word of the day is: TOHUBOHU!

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the TOHUBOHU of your mind

Thankfully, the theme to Doctor Who has not been set with lyrics.

At least not officially.

Good morning, all! I slept very late and had quite peculiar dreams, including a long and convoluted one about my late mother and a road trip. I'm down emotionally at the moment: I think three intense months of battling pestilence, a desire to accomplish things I cannot at the moment, inertia on the job front, discontent with what I've accomplished lately, and a slow cash flow have me in a depression. I really don't want to get out of bed and these dreams abput my late parents are getting to me. I am moving, showered, dressed, and contemplating the ins and outs of doing laundry or postponing it till tomorrow. Since I hate clutter, I'll probably cave in and begin it shortly.

TOD:
"Here Come The Brides"
"Mary Tyler Moore"
"The Office"
"The Nanny"

Speaking of which, here's a bit of news from the Doctor Who News Page:

Quote

Doctor Who has received two nominations and Torchwood one nomination for the prestigious Hugo awards.

The Hugo Awards are given every year by members of Worldcon, the World Science Fiction Convention, and have been presented since 1953.

The full list of nominations in the Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form category are.

Doctor Who - Human Nature/Family of Blood, written by Paul Cornell and directed by Charles Palmer

Doctor Who - Blink, written by Steven Moffat and directed by Hettie Macdonald

Torchwood - Captain Jack Harkness, written by Catherine Tregenna and directed by Ashley Way

Battlestar Galactica - Razor, written by Michael Taylor and directed by Félix Enríquez Alcalá and Wayne Rose

Star Trek New Voyages - World Enough and Time written by Michael Reaves & Marc Scott Zicree and directed by Marc Scott Zicree

This is the third year running that Steven Moffat has been nominated for the award, having won in 2006 for The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances and in 2007 for The Girl in the Fireplace. Paul Cornell was previously nominated in 2006 for Father's Day.

The Winners will be announced at Denvention 3 in Denver, Colorado in August.

So, for all the Torchwood fans out there, it seems that a good snogging can at least get you nominated!

Favorite lyric from a theme song: "Phoebe Figalilly is a silly name" from Nanny and the Professor. It's so goofy, but then so was the show.

And note the internal rhyme of "Figalilly" with "silly."

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #119 on:** March 22, 2008, 08:59:21 AM »

All this talk of TV Themes reminds me of a musical medley that Suzanne Somers performed on the "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson". It was all TV themes. It was actually the first time I ever understood all the words to "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons".
