Lefty's Friday Three Questions for October 20th
My team of crack research assistants have spent hours pouring over reports, news items, and comic books to come up with 3 hard hitting, soul searching questions to ask every Friday (except for the Fridays where I don't), and then I end up pulling three off the top of my head. Here's this week's 3 questions:
1. What artist & album has spent the most time on your iPod, mp3 player, CD player, or audio device? If you have an mp3 player, how much space do you currently have free on it?
2. The sitcom is quite dead but it is on life-support. What are your top ten 1/2 hour coedy sitcoms of all time?
3. What's your favorite comic book writers/artist run on a comic book? What writer/artist combo made you drop a book?
Comments
1. Right now I have 6.96 Gigs of space free, but that will change because I am right now extracting several Who Deluxe Editions to my iPod. As for longest, that would be an out-of-print Gregg Allman collection One More Try which is very hard to find because it was unauthorized but has some simply spectacular stuff on it.
2. In order: M*A*S*H, Arrested Development, Family Ties, The Office, Seinfield, Coupling (BBC), Cheers, W.K.R.P., Sports Night, Taxi
3. Favorite (that I read): Chris Claremont/John Byrne Uncanny X-Men Least favorite: Can't think of any long runs but the current Flash team has made me quit that book.

1. Variety is the spice of my life. Just got this Circle of Friends thing from some guy in CCalifornia. No iPOD or any of that; that said, Burning Spear dominates my iTunes list, but I didn't load it in.
2. Answered at
http://rogerowengreen.blogspot.com/2006/08/top-ten-television-comedies.html - we have five in common.
3. Cliche, I know, but Claremont/Byrne on the X-Men.
I despised Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man.

1. About 28 GBs left out of 60. Longest? I have no idea - as soon as I got one of these things I just started dumping everything I own into it.
2. Simpsons, All in the Family, Roseanne, Seinfeld, Cheers, Scrubs, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Sports Night, The Office
3. Ennis and Dillon's run on Preacher.

1. I only have a 1G player, so I rotate the playlist quite a bit, but Rollins Band's Come In And Burn has been on it from day one.
2.Simpsons, Andy Griffith Show, I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, Cheers, MASH, Taxi, Mary Tyler Moore Show, SportsNight, Family Guy
3. It's been a while for me, but I loved Preacher--where's that movie?

I have a 30G IPod with about 4000 songs on it, and lately I have been enjoying the shuffle feature. It's like having my own free format radio station. However, of my own volition I have been listenting alot to U2 and to the 77s. I Guess I Iike bands with numbers in their names.
Top Ten 1/2 hour shows in NO particular order: Seinfeld, MASH, Cheers, Everybody Loves Raymond, Mad About You, King of the Hill, I Love Lucy, Frasier, My Name is Earl, WKRP in Cincinnati. I realize it may be too early to tell about "My Name is Earl" but I currently love that show.
As far as comics are concerned the only attachment I remember forming is to some series that was like a precursor to Tales from the Crypt, something like Weird Tales. All of this to say that I probably don't have the kind of relationship to comics that would qualify me to answer your question.

tony - Vague rumors have HBO considering a Preacher series. What manna that would be.
