Dave does deutschland

Hebrew Humor
Jews are fun to laugh at. From Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint to Seinfeld to Adam Sandler's "The Hanukkah Song (versions ad nauseum)," the rule is tried and true: laugh at a Jew and you will be laughing for a long time.
Instant Gratification
If These Walls Could Talk by Matt Kuruc In a country as polarized as ours, it has become nearly impossible for people to come together to discuss controversial issues.
California, here we come?
It all started with 90210 : a rich gang of Beverly Hills High Schoolers desperately trying to make it through the drama of their teenage years.
Cali on DVD
Saved by the Bell -- Seasons 1 & 2 If you want a flashback to 1989, look no further than the halls of Bayside High in Pacific Palisades, CA.
Looney toons
Comedy Central has always tended to the absurd -- foul-mouthed eight-year-olds, fake news shows and the idea that Colin Quinn is funny, for example.
Editor's Picks: Best cartoons ever
Jon Levin (Guides): Doug Best episode: Doug composes a bluegrass song about his crush, Patti Mayonnaise.
ZeN-Trification
Near the end of an election year in which everyone who was anyone parlayed their opinions into hardcover format, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart wasn't going to be left out.
Almost Famous
In the beginning, Philly was all about the idea of exposing itself on cable by hosting The Real World. Seriously, we even protested in the streets to get the stupid show to come here.
Which TV network are you?
You know you're bored, you might as well find out... 1. You just got dumped. You: (a) Dissect the break-up the next day on your annoying radio show. (b) Drop some acid then go look at the bodies in the family morgue.
TV on DVD
Popular -- the complete first season This show was admittedly the poor man's My So-Called Life, with a typical teenybopper cast of characters (the rich bitch, the quarterback, the ambiguously gay guy, the weird activist) and supposedly witty one-liners like"Michael Jackson called, he wants his eyebrows back." So why does it merit preservation for posterity on DVD?
Change sucks
There are times in life when that which you love is also that which you loathe. I am familiar with this feeling -- the queasy nausea of obsessive repulsion.

Motivated by nostalgia to continue the ten plus years of bonding with the gang at Central Perk, I tuned in to Joey (Thursdays at 9 p.m.) with the hope that Tribbiani wasn't dead.

He's no Jerry
Jason Alexander returns to primetime in CBS's new comedy Listen Up (premiering Sept. 20 at 8:30 p.m.). This time around, Alexander's a well-renowned sports broadcaster who finds it hard to command respect when it comes to his own family.
Reality bites
Stop the pretending; we know your secret. You skipped the company barbeque to watch the finale of Outback Jack. And then you went to the CBS website after missing an episode of the Amazing Race, just to see if those douchebag twins were finally given the boot.
Bye, bye, bye
Street has a lot of senior goodbyes to make as the Spring semester comes to a close. But really, rather than interact with precious friends for the last time, we have become obsessed with the final episodes of our favorite TV shows.
Finally, a cure for ugly
I love plastic surgery shows. Seriously. Extreme Makeover (ABC), I Want a Famous Face (MTV) and now The Swan (FOX) top my list of must-see TV programs each week.
'Street' Meets 'Street'
