Old friend and Mac fan @shtick says an actor in the new Target commercial has a strong resemblance to me. What say you? http://www.youtube.com/watch...
"Never mind the best books, comics, movies or TV shows of the last ten years, which new character made the biggest impact in your hearts and minds? We want to know what you think, and I have my own suggestions... In this era of franchises based on pre-existing... well, franchises, really, it should be tough for brand new characters to make any significant impression, but I feel like we've been spoiled for choice in some ways; beyond the five mentioned below, I could've also gone for Y The Last Man's Yorick Brown, Scott Pilgrim's Kim Pine (Because, really, it's all about Kim. Admit it), Fringe's Walter Bishop or Dollhouse's Adelle DeWitt, to name just a few more. I'm not talking about the most important characters of the last ten years, or even the most popular, please understand; this is purely a (selfish and subjective) question of quality, for once. These, however, are my top 5:" Benjamin Linus, Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture, Gaius Baltar, Donna Noble and Kate Kane/Batwoman
- RAPatton
"Benjamin Linus Color me one of those people who drifted in and out of Lost throughout the first two seasons of the show... Well, until Ben entered the picture. Michael Emerson's smarmy, knowing performance as "Henry Gale" brought something that the show had needed since the beginning: A Bad Guy. Or, at least, someone who we didn't know much about, but were pretty sure we shouldn't be...

"Gaius Baltar And talking of people you can't rely on, Battlestar Galactica's Baltar may have been chosen by God/The Gods/Some Higher Power/Ronald D. Moore to lead humanity towards its new home, along the way discovering a spiritual side, falling in love and growing as a human being, but that wasn't why we loved him so much. No, with Baltar, it was all about the weasel. Whether he was...

"Kate Kane/Batwoman Still relatively new, there's something fascinating about DC Comics' latest Batman spin-off. Under writer Greg Rucka's control - and, given her few appearances elsewhere, only under Rucka's control - Kate Kane is at once a reminder of, and refusal of, Bat-cliches. Yes, she was born of family tragedy, but her response wasn't to focus her entire life towards justice,...

- RAPatton
Good choices, but I agree that Locke from LOST was top 5. Then I thought, considering recent events, when Locke died, the new Locke that appears on the island isn't Locke at all, its the person (or spirit or whatever) from the flashback talking to Jacob. So Locke wasn't Locke at all (LOST makes my brain hurt.)
- echostreamer
If we just assume Benjamin Linus takes the cake (which he does... then tosses it back in your face with a grenade), I vote for Walter Bishop... he makes that Fringe show so *special*.
- Adrian
I rewatched Serenity recently and was struck by this exact pondering whenever Chiwetel Ejiofor as "The Operative" came on screen. The only thing missing to meld him with the Firefly series better would have been giving him blue hands. Not sure why they didn't do that. Regardless, that character is a force that dominates every scene.
- Michael W. May
I was thinking the same thing watching Serenity. Ever see him in "Dirty Pretty Things"? Now that's a great movie and great character.
- Adrian
Dirty Pretty Things was the one about the kidney black market hotel, right? I recall only seeing it and having a heavy heart after seeing it. It was during a not good brain time *chuckle*
- Michael W. May
Yep, that's the one, where he played the African immigrant in England. Eh... give it another chance. I get like that too.
- Adrian
Just watched Fringe, Dr. Bishop could be on the list, but the show is........needs to evolve a little before its considered a great sci-fi show. #myopinion
- echostreamer
Both Locke and Benjamin Linus are great characters (and I realize what I09's wheelhouse is) but I think, for me, the greatest character of the decade was Omar from The Wire.
- Jason Toney
Benjamin Linus hands down, but Captain Jack Harness is a close second. >:P
- Molly, "sorry"
I also think Dr. Girlfriend and the Monarch (not to mention Brock) are way more interesting, iconic, whatever characters from the Venture Bros, not Rusty. And that also means we should be adding Master Shake to this list as I'd put him ahead of all adult swim characters in this decade.
- Jason Toney
*blink* "Actress Brittany Murphy died early today after going into cardiac arrest, law enforcement sources said. Los Angeles city firefighters responded to "a medical request" at Murphy's home in the 1800 block of Rising Glen Road in West Hollywood. Murphy, 32, was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead."

- D0r0th34
The Bad Kitty books are hilarious. That's for one of my nephews. He has some reading difficulties, so books like that are good for him. Lots of pictures, but good text, too. It's somewhere between a picture book and a kid's graphic novel (like the Captain Underpants books).
- Katy S
Yesterday, my son had his holiday party at school (high school) and they had Secret Santa. He filled up a bag with stuff, including that Welch's grape juice in the champagne bottle. It was seen by a school janitor, taken away and turned into the office and the recipient's parents called.
They are certainly overreacting like woah. OTOH I can guarantee that somewhere in these United States "some kid is dumb enough to bring a bottle of booze to a school party and give it as a gift." I remember the junior high bust at my school where a group of kids had all brought booze to school and kept it in their lockers for an after-school party.
- s t e v e
The girl wouldn't identify my son as the one who gave it to her but I told him to step forward and admit to it when he returns from the holidays because he didn't do anything wrong and needs to show he has nothing to hide.
- Trish R
I'd call and complain and tell them they are overacting. I remember in my senior year in high school's post prom party one of the gifts was sparkling grape juice. I bet if it was nowadays it would be taken away.
- Molly, "sorry"
Yeah, that's why it wasn't a big deal to me, either Mol. We used to even have New Year's Eve parties at church and bring those bottles of grape juice and no one said a word.

Speaking of snow... During the Blizzard of 1993 in New York, I was walking home from work one day and decided to climb one of the snow drifts. When I got to the top, I looked down and saw an antenna sticking up out of the snow next to my foot. >.<
omg........its awful how the plows just bury cars .........I spent many an hours digging out and then the plows would come by again...........
- VAL D. Zone
This was before the plows came out. I can only imagine how hard it was to get that car out /after/ they plowed the road.
- Jason Huebel
The Monday after the blizzard I had to start a new job in downtown Albany. my little Subaru was under a few feet of snow. took a while to find which car was mine. I was an hour late. There was a 5 foot snow drift in front of my apartment. hmmm why did I leave NY again?
- Mike Nencetti
Thankfully, I didn't need a car when I lived in New York, since I lived in NYC.
- Jason Huebel
Hey, man, not amusing. I was *IN* that car.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'm so happy you guys are getting the snow. It's just cloudy and cold here in Buffalo. :P

Hmmm. I can hear a few words and see pixelated images, then the little "loading" circle spins for a bit until more stuff gets buffered.

After listening to last week's TWiT, I'm more skeptical over Facebook

FriendFeed never implemented hiding by keyword, even though people asked for it a lot. If you follow someone, you get all their posts, not just their techy ones (or whatever you filter for).
- Bruce Lewis
I don't use Twitter that much, I use FF and FB more
- Molly, "sorry"
Another thing about FriendFeed that inhibits popularity: Your feed is full of people getting more attention than you're getting. On Twitter you don't see that as much, so you feel better.
- Bruce Lewis
FB, FF and Twitter aren't the "greatest thing in the world"

Bruce, I implemented keyword hiding, but I don't need/use it :)

but TOOO-OOOO WEEKS!! No FAIR! *whiny disgruntled teen*

Hardly anyone made it tonight anyway, and I imagine it would be even less people on Christams DAY. Plus, Johnny has obligations. We may do a little something on the side but officially this is it until Jan 1, 2010

You can watch the video available right this moment, or wait for me to push the podcast either tonight or tomorrow

Well, I suppose....:) I like the idea of starting the year the FFundercat way, too.

It's so nice when a competing TV network's news anchor says so long to the other. Had NBC on and Brian Wilson said a good bye to Charles Gibson on ABC, since he's leaving.
I was feeling okay yesterday and then was up all night with horrible abdominal pain, went to the docs today found out I have a kidney infection, now on Lavaquin and taking it easy. Thankfully, I just have a small amount of Christmas things to do and can wait until next Monday or Tuesday to do. Spent the afternoon laying on the couch and listening
Lost for me, I thought this the latest season really hit the mark. 24 was good again too. As for new shows, hmm, not seen a whole season throw to the end so can't comment.
- Kol Tregaskes
Go download the first episode from somewhere (iTunes, bittorrent, w/e). I guarantee you will love it like we all do. It's just really, really, really well written and acted.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOST was good this year! I always forget since I consider it part of last season. I'm REALLY looking forward to the last season.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Haggis, me too. What's the bet that they'll wake up at the end as if it was all a dream but have gained all the experience? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Community is my favorite new show and in fact tied for favorite overall with 30 Rock, since the latter had a slow start yet again. Party Down would be my second favorite new show. Pushing Daisies for special mention since it didn't finish airing till Jun 2009. I tend to think in terms of the Sept-May "seasons" for TV, but if you want to go by calendar year, I might put Pushing Daisies as top show.
- Andrew C
I've not heard of Community either. What is that about too?
- Kol Tregaskes
Royal Pains is great, White Collar is good, Community is excellent, Men of a Certain Age has started well too, and Pawn Stars is also worth watching.
- AJ Kohn
Either Family Guy or Two and a Half Men...I'm a simple man
- Morgan Haley
Community's about a community college. It's really well-constructed, well-written, well-acted... the editing is about the only thing I could carp about - there are occasionally weird edits mid-scene, as if they had done several different takes on different camera angles and didn't match them up too well. Still, it's super-solid and very funny.
- Andrew C
I'd say Star Wars Clone Wars(Is that too geeky?) and Mad Men
- laosan
LOST, For new shows, I like V and FlashForward, but I haven't watched much television this year.
- Michael Fidler
Oh yeah, Modern Family is good. Cougar Town isn't bad either - getting better actually. Dollhouse of course and for me, Fringe is still wickedly interesting.
- AJ Kohn
Glee. I haven't checked out Modern Family yet, though I hear it's terrific.
- Spidra Webster
Breaking Bad... thanks to everyone's recommendations!
- Adrian
I don't think I looked forward to any weekly episodes more this year than the second season of True Blood. New show? Parks and Recreation.
- Jason Toney
Fringe is awesome. Pushing Daisies was a great show, I'm annoyed that it got canceled. Love Dollhouse too. V is so-so. Flash Forward is pretty decent, but slow (like the second season of Lost slow). 30 Rock is funny and excellent. Burn Notice was quite good at first, but went downhill a bit, I think. More interesting list of shows I'll never, ever watch: Community, because it's just...

30 Rock. I just started watching it this season and I have to say it's some of the smartest comedy on TV. I had a couple of marathon weekends of watching the previous 3 seasons to get caught up. I never laughed so hard as I did those two weekends.
- Jason Huebel
Tie between Burn Notice and Leverage.
- Alex Scoble
Didn't like Dollhouse, nice idea but not well executed IMHO.
- Kol Tregaskes
Agree with you Kol. Dollhouse was pants. Lost, 24, The Simpsons is back on track...i swear it is....Hank was atrocious. Kelsey Grammer lost a bit of credibility there. American Dad went downhill this year so far, but a few family guys have been ok. FlashForward was good for the first 8 episodes, but it seems now its setting itself up for a few seasons which I dont mind but would of been...

I watched an episode of Modern Family, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's easy to see how some people might find it entertaining, but it's a little too close to home for me. (It's too L. A.) I also watched an episode of Glee, and found it to be original, and entertaining, but it’s not the type of show that I would look forward to week after week. However, it's clearly well made and...

"Disney has just debut a second full-length trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland tonight that will also be attached to most prints of Avatar this weekend (in 3D as well). Everyone went crazy over the first trailer, but you ain't seen nothing yet, as this one blows that old trailer right out of the water! Alice on Wonderland stars Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Stephen Fry, Christopher Lee, Michael Sheen, and Alan Rickman."
- Derrick
from Bookmarklet
Derrick, this looks like a "15 years later" thing, which is an interesting idea. I don't think rereading will do much, unless you want to refamiliarize yourself with the characters.
- DJF
DJF, I read the book in college against my will. I do want to revisit it on my terms, although I'm sure the filmed version as envisioned by Burton will have his fingerprints all over it. Also, I'm trying to read more (am online WAY too much).
- Derrick
if you want to really geek out, try to find a copy of "More Annotated Alice", an annotated edition with annotations by Martin Gardner. One of my favourite annotations is all the foreign language translations of "Jabberwocky."
- DJF
Can we please find a way to break up Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Bad things seem to happen when they team up. Wonderful, magical, whimsical, utterly horrible bad things.
- Noah Belson
lets hope Burton doesn't butcher another classic like he did with Charley And The Chocolate Wankfest
- Toby Graham
That's not entirely his fault though, I mean, Johnny Depp won't ever be Gene Wilder.Just watched the trailer: it looks horrible. The writing looks wholly underwhelming and I really really don't like the animation style.
- Will Higgins™
Agree totally with the underwhelming part, not impressed
- Mo Kargas
I hated his interpretation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And I do wish he would break up at least temporarily with Depp. Also, stretch out Burton! What if he made a heist movie, or a legal drama? Or remade Do The Right Thing?
- Derrick
Yeah, but a Burton heist would be a thin pale bank robber stealing all of the Love from the Vault of Metaphors. In claymation.
- Pete
I'm sinister, remember ;) Sinister and harsh :D
- Pete
Burton is a washed-up sell-out, who is now owned by Hollywood. Discuss.
- Will Higgins™
I'm mixed about this. I think Johnny would be a good Mad Hatter, but I'm not sure about Tim Burton as the director. And I have to agree with Charley and the Chocolate Factory, the only one to play Willy Wonka is Gene Wilder, not Johnny. Johnny freaks me out.

Christmas is about 9 days away. I just have to get stuff in the mail and I'm done. I made CDs for people this year and it was fun. I did this CD exchange with some friends of mine where we made CDs for each other. I don't know how legal that is, but IMHO, it's like doing cassette tape exchanges. I love hearing what other people's music.....
tastes are. I got 14 CDs worth of 80s Christmas music from a DJ friend of mine and another DJ friend is sending me some stuff from Kylie Minogue I don't have. :)
- Molly, "sorry"
Okay, need to get to sleep, because I have a busy day in store. I have my boss from my at home job coming over to give me my payment, I have a doctor's appointment and I need to get my Christmas stuff ready to go in the mail Thursday. Thankfully, I don't have to mail stuff for my niece, brother and sister, because my Mom said she would take them.
I WAS going to go Keanu spotting on Thursday until I heard on the news tonight the set it "closed" and they're not going to let anyone near the area they're filming his movie. Dang it.

I wish I was that flexible now! (However, I would NOT put my foot in my mouth like I did back in those days. At least not literally! I do it figuratively all the damn time, and have demonstrated such right here on FF.)

Oooh the Barking Dogs "Jingle Bells" came on the radio. This is a sentimental favorite of mine. My father used to be Santa Claus on the local radio station when he worked as a DJ.

Anxiety attacks I've learned can cause all kinds of issues. I was on Xanax for a while, but got off of it due to insurance issues. I want to be back on them because they helped a lot. I don't know what to do. I have what they call hypocondria and I'm extra sensitive to my health. I get chest pains and run to ER, when it turns out all the time
to be my GI issues. I'm seeing my doctor, but not until January 12th, because that's the closest time to see her. I might see if I can see a nurse practitioner, because I'm having left side abdominal pain which is radiating to the left arm. It's not heart related, because the heart tests were normal. It's either an ulcer, my uterine cysts, pancreas, liver or kidney stones. I'm trying not to panic, because anxiety attacks can exaggerate things.

My cousin's daughter's boyfriend is a cutie. I hope he's treating her well, because if he ever does anything to hurt her, he'll be singing soprano for the rest of his life. My cousin's daughter is a sweetheart and I love her to pieces. She just turned 21 and is going to school in Miami. I miss her and her Mom so much. I need to get to FL

"We love TV. We love TV shows. We love TV characters. Well, for the most part. Unfortunately there are some characters on TV—on shows we like, on shows we hate—that are just so freaking annoying. Characters who make us groan every time they show up, who make us throw things (soft things) at the television set, who make us, however briefly, consider not watching the show at all. Because it's the holidays and our cold, Grinch-like hearts are extra black this time of year, and because everyone's doing top 10 lists right now, we decided to make a list of the top 10 most annoying characters on television."

from Bookmarklet
You see that right. Bill Compton came in at #3 on the list. True Blood fans may begin their rants below.
- Jason Huebel
No... I agree, Bill the vampire is pretty annoying.
- Adrian
Nope. This list is made of fail just for including Abby. Abby isn't snarky. I think that Garcia woman from Criminal Minds should take her place on this list.
- Yolanda
LOL. I'm a True Blod fan, but I agree, too.
- Jason Huebel
ok don't watch most of these shows, but they have no clue on NCIS Abby is cool and so is Ducky (aka Illya Kuryakin from the Man from U.N.C.L.E) is great
- Kim Landwehr
I don't think Abby is annoying at all. I like her.
- Dawn
Of all the shows on the list that I've seen, I disagree with almost all of them...Compton on the other hand can lick a plate.
- Joe Pierce
+2, one for yolanda, and the other for dawn. without abbey, there's no me watching ncis, ;)
- chaz2b
love abby....most of the shows I don't watch........

I disagree with Mark from FlashForward though - it's not too interesting but certainly it's not annoying!
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
*baresfangs* Sukeh's MINE!!! *superleap... crunch*
- Adrian
How many times have we seen this scene now?
- Adrian
NCIS is one show that I _don't_ understand why anyone likes it and why it remains on tv.com's top list. It's *so* boring. For detective episodic drama, Castle + Bones + Numb3rs all top it by miles. It just sucks: all the characters are annoying! :)
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
You did that wrong. Bill Compton speaks in all caps, all the time. SUKEH IS MINE!
- Jason Huebel
What was his rank in the Confederate Army? CAPtain
- Adrian
see-ming lee, i watch ncis for (1) it often comes here (not irl, but the story says there here, here being my hometown, Virginia Beach, VA), (2) ABBEY, & (3) Mark Harmon
- chaz2b
Jesse Pinkman and Skyler White on Breaking Bad! Hopefully only Jesse for next season (fingers crossed)
- Adrian
Good lord, that gutless writer couldn't even sign his own bi-line. That is such meanly written article. It's not even interesting, just a bunch of ad hominem attacks and no reason given for no liking the characters.
- Matthew DeVries
adian, shh, but ithink mad men is done & over, :(
- chaz2b
I agree, lame, but then again you could probably find a really annoying character on just about every show ever aired (except the A-Team of course)
- Adrian
My husband likes to tell me that Abby reminds him of me when we first met/got together. I guess that means I was "annoying" when I was 17? Also, I agree with Brian. Horatio Caine cannot be watched without much mocking and laughter. That dude's a complete tool.
- Jenny R.
Regarding Horatio Caine. It's not just the character that's a tool-- its David Caruso. I /really/ dislike him. Always have.
- Jason Huebel
Come to think of it Mac Taylor (Gary Sinese) is almost as cloying/annoying. Maybe it is a requirement for CSI?
- Brian Sullivan
I really like Gary Sinese, though. I stopped watching any of the CSI's years ago.
- Jason Huebel
from IM
True Blood guy should be #1 just for how he says, "Sookay"
- sofarsoShawn
LOL, definitely. Although you have to admit that as much as his character annoys you, you can't help but copy his manner of speech sometimes.
- Jason Huebel
from IM
I love all the CSIs ..........I like the orginal one better with Grissom
- VAL D. Zone
Drink a shot every time Horatio Caine does the sunglasses. It's what keeps the show on the air. That and the super-saturated scenery pron.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
A shot every time? -- boy you must be in great shape by the end of the program ;-)
- Brian Sullivan
"Abby is the rah-rah Conservative's idea of what a snarky Liberal should sound like." SPOT ON.
- rowlikeagirl
I like Bill Compton, but agree that Fiennes is undercast and overplayed in the FlashForward. It's hard to tell if it's just his character, though, always serious and always pained. The least favorite role in the last year or so goes, hands down, to Juliet in Lost. The sandwich-making, precious Juliet, in too-tight button downs and botox face.
- anna sauce
GAWD. David Caruso is such a giant douchebag. :-D Ever time he has one of his little one-liners, he puts his sunglasses on and puts his hands on his hips. I've only ever seen one episode of this show and this reaffirms my belief that I never want to watch it again.
- Jason Huebel
Same here... didn't make it through the episode though. That video makes me laugh every time though. :D
- Adrian
I don't think Abby deserves to be on that list. She's a caricature, sure, but at least she has something resembling an individual personality, which is more than can be said for most of the other characters. And how can a top ten most annoying list not have David Caruso on it?
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Jack from lost makes me want to pull my hair out and anyone in the Petrelli clan too
- RAPatton
Why do I get the feeling that a woman wrote the last part of the Entourage paragraph where it's compared to Sex and the City? Her bitter sexist bias kind of shows through a little bit there.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I agree with Trueblood's Bill, but I love Barney... he is kinda annoying but in a fun endearing way and the show would not be as good without him. He provides a good balance. #1 on my list would be a tie between Glee's Terry Schuester (wife of will) and Glee's Sue Silvester (cheerleading coach) The show would be so much better without them.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Oddly, I like Jack from Lost. He does not bug me and I find his "Jack-isms" comically entertaining. Especially the crying.
- Adrian
Nothing I was particularly up-in-arms about on that list. I completely and utterly agree with the idea that Horatio Caine should be top of the annoying list though.
- Amy
Adrian that was great the H one liners...........I needed that laugh so bad......thanks
- VAL D. Zone
ABBY ANNOYING!!!! NO!!!! Abby is one of my favorite characters. I <3 Abby.
- Molly, "sorry"
Hehe you're welcome. Yeah... it starts off innocently enough, then never lets up... for 7 minutes! It is great.
- Adrian
I didn't understand why NCIS was so popular until a few months ago. At that point, I had seen all of the reruns of Bones and Law & Order that were playing on basic cable, so I switched over to NCIS on USA. Once I watched a few eps, I was hooked. I think it's a great show with a lot of humor. I don't find Abby annoying at all; in fact, I'd say people that do think Abby is annoying are...

Adrian, thanks for posting that link. I couldn't even make it through half of the one-liners, but it totally reaffirmed why I think David Caruso is such a douche.

BTW, Abby reminds me (physically anyway) of an edgy Rene Russo. Are they related somehow?
- Jason Huebel
Abby is AWESOME. I'm not sure how much credence to give the rest of the list after that. There is nothing at all annoying about Abby. I want her to be my best friend.

Thanks, All! I don't think that the dentist I'm going to is going to give me any "fun" drugs for recovery, but we'll see. Hopefully since it's only one that it won't be so bad. It's been giving me trouble for a long time anyway (it's broken!), so I'm glad to be rid of it.
- Cheryl Jones
I'm so happy I have never had issues with wisdom teeth, but I have had two teeth extracted. It wasn't too bad. It didn't hurt that much because one was already broken in half and the other had already fallen out and had the part with the nerves still attached. Just be aware of Dry Socket. That's when the blood clot that protects the socket gets dislodged and it is painful. Rinse your mouth out with warm salt water and keep gauze around it for a while and it'll help with the healing.
- Molly, "sorry"
Thanks, Mol. I have been rinsing with warm salt water, but (and not to gross anyone out or anything) I'm still tasting a bit of blood in my mouth from time to time. Had to put in gauze a couple times today, but it hasn't fully stopped the little bit of bleeding. Just had some applesauce to help mask the taste. :P Will rinse with salt water again soon, I guess.

I wish FlakeBook had a way to block applications by wildcards in their names. For instance, I'd like to block all updates containing the words "horoscope", "heart", "pimp", "smile", "snowball", "pillow", "cute", "hugs", "love", "quiz", or "super".
