Spin City

Well as you guys know, while I work I watch TV or movies.  Unfortunately a lot of the time it is just for background noise, so I can never get into anything good like the Wire or the Sopranos, so I’m generally reduced to stuff like sitcoms.  I worked my way through MOST of Mad About You before giving up for awhile….and now I’m in the same boat with Spin City.

I just finished Spin City season 4 – the last episode with Michael J Fox as Deputy Mayor, minutes ago.  So now I have a dilemmna – do I keep watching the next two seasons, the Charlie Sheen era?  I mean I have vague memories of that era, and they are NOT good.  Plus Michael J Fox and Bill Lawrence are both gone, along with the character James, who was generally pretty awesome.

I’ll probably give it a go, but I have a feeling I won’t make it all the way through.  So many things that I remember being wrong with the Sheen era, especially Sheen himself.  I fucking LOVE him in Two and a Half Men – but that’s because you get the feeling he’s not playing a character, he’s playing himself.  Fuck, maybe he actually IS himself, and he’s just so drunk he really thinks he has a brother and so on.  Reminds me of this AWESOME video:

Not sure what I will watch next while working.  I’ll probably try and watch some movies, as I’ve not watched a good movie in awhile, and there are quite a few I have to watch.

Anyhoo – off to bed, as off to Toronto Zoo tomorrow. Wheee.  One of the benefits of working for yourself.  “Hey got any plans for tomorrow?”  “Nothing really.”  “Lets go to the zoo!”

Yay.  Giraffes.
