I have a slight problem.....it probably wouldn't seem too important to you.....but I like to keep certain things in order. OK....here it is....I'm not sure what my favorite television situation comedy is of all time. I have it narrowed down to three.....Everybody Loves Raymond.....The Middle....and Monk.
Raymond is all laughs.....in all 214 episodes.....of which I've seen three or four times each. My favorite episode is when Robert dates a woman who eats flies. I had that happen to me once.
The Middle though....209 episodes....is really a show about Everyman....and Mike takes after me. I'll give you an example....in one episode Mike has to say some words from a podium at a family celebration of some sort.....Frankie is worried because Mike is so serious all the time.....so Mike steps up.....looks over the people assembled.....and says something kind off normal....and Frankie smiles.....then he pauses and says....."Look.....we're all gonna die.".....(that's something I would do).....on which Frankie's head drops.....but Mike had a reason for saying that and the talk actually went well.
In the third show.....Monk....125 episodes....the thing is....watching Monk is like looking in a mirror. There's a framed picture in a local restaurant.....and it's slightly crooked.....and it drives me nuts.....if you know me maybe you know the restaurant....and the crooked picture....I can't reach it because it is over a table....maybe it drives you nuts too.....or maybe not? I have to analyze everything! I'm wondering right now why you are read this post all the way through?
I need to be able to answer the question when asked.....What's your favorite television comedy?. I've never been asked that.....fortunately.....but it may happen some day. I'm leaning to Raymond.....no wait....The Middle.....no wait....I shared this question with my wife....she just looked at me and said...."Monk".....and slammed the computer closed.....and went back to her book.
