And now...for your reading and viewing entertainment, I will break it down and show you how ABC and NBC are following me around, digging into my past and basically using my life to make the funny. I know there's a word for this...you know where people think that the world revolves around them. The fact that I know this word, uh--the round-a-bout definition of it, shows you that I am NOT one of these people. Right? Say yes. Let me enter these words--Dorothy Hamill haircut. That helps considerably.
**I would like to make a note here that this is going to look like I watch a lot of friggin' TV. That's not true. What IS true is that I watch a lot of friggin' Tivo. I am very busy.**
Okay, so time and again when watching my fave ABC and NBC shows, I see references to my very own little life. How do they do that, these writers? How in the world do they get so specific? Are we really all the same like that, and we can relate at such an intimate level? To the select few I've shared my Ponch and John dreams with, I think not. The reactions I get back are not, the "Me too!" kinds.
And really, how do the writers of The Middle and Modern Family portray the very exact conversation I had with The Hubbs the night before? Verbatim. Or that Tina Fey had the crush on Grizzly Adams AND Larry Wilcox back in the day. It's freaking me out. Or just very much proving that Tina and I would be instant BFF's. She'd suggest me moving in with her and Matt Damon and it would be AWESOME.

Onwards--let's talk about ABC's, The Middle. I can relate to this show so much. The parents. The kids. The decor (right down to the insides of their master bedroom closet). The very same Rockin' Red piggy bank with the black polka dots that I made at Ceramic Cafe last year, that was sitting on the hutch in the dining room of last week's Halloween episode. Oh yeah, and church on Halloween. True. And look right there--Sue's ("Sue"--that's a laugh right there) big ol' glasses. Accurate.
And then there's Modern Family. This show. Fantastic! Do you even know how much I Facebook status update quotes from this show? Just to draw one little example (of many, many) from the Halloween episode--Phil freaks out when he finds out his neighbor is getting a divorce for what he sees as no good reason. Phil needs a reason why they are getting a divorce, so that he can make sure he doesn't screw up in his own marriage. So he spends the whole entire episode overdoing it on the lovey dovey and over analyzing his own "stuff". In one part of his analysis he makes a list of things about their relationship that make him feel like things are "good". I love it when he says, "I'm a monogamous, social drinker and Claire only sleep hits me." Mmmmhmmm...accurate. The sleep hitting part stands out in this one for me, because well--every. single. night.
Phil's character is The Hubbs a very good chunk of time. Did you see last week's episode where the smoke detectors were chirping--YEP. Accurate. And I would say the picture above of Claire about to go into Freak Out Land...that's me a very good chunk of time. Accurate.

Okay, now for 30 Rock. All I need to say right here is that Tina Fey and I have the same brain. Please refer to all of my Dorothy Hamill, Grizzly Adams, Larry Wilcox and Matt Damon comments, pictures and videos. The end.
Look how cute you are, Larry Wilcox.
Larry Wilcox on 30 Rock. Tina--CALL ME.
And last but not least. The Office. The last two episodes have rocked. I just have to point out in the Halloween one where Pam and Jim dress up as Popeye and Olive Oyl for Halloween. SAME. Yes, yes yes..Snooki was a close second for me, but you can go right ahead and ask Cindi, Val, Bridget, Rachael, Jennifer, my mother-in-law, the cashier at Party City, the waitress at The Carver Cafe, Amy and Gabe in the teacher's workroom and like five more people--I had the Popeye and Olive Oyl costume idea before I watched The Office. Freak.it.y.

So there you see. You see it, right? Say yes.
Tina, call me!
