Curb Your Enthusiasm
Larry David's Comedic Vision is Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good
Larry David sets his misanthropic muse free in an ingenious, incendiary way in this show. He blends wild improvisation with the careful construction of ethical conundrums to make us laugh first at him and his extraordinary and variegated supporting cast and then at ourselves. Satirical spite sustains this program's power.

Seinfeld
The moral logic of this show about nothing is perfect, which explains why so many found the finale frustrating. In an absurd world where greed, lust and unbridled enthusiasm guide four silly friends through myriad misadventures that blend Jerry’s Socratic sarcasm with Larry David’s smirking misanthropy, laughing justice ultimately rules.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

That Girl
Here is another old television program that I remember watching when I was younger 'That Girl' starring Marlo Thomas the daughter of Danny Thomas. Marlo Thomas played the character of Ann Marie a want-to-be actress who moved to New York City to pursue this dream. There were many situations in this show that could still be issues even today. For instance, parents who want the best for their children, but not sure if the children are ready as in Ann's father does not think she's ready. 'That Girl' is really a show for all decades even though it is set in the late sixties and very early seventies.

My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?
