11 with their own thoughts:
Good list. I may have to try this but I'm thinking that my answers may end up being quite boring since there is little time for TV in my life these days. I dropped so many shows this past Fall, it's not even funny.
Oh yeah and I am SO WITH YOU on David Spade - blech!!! Double blech!!!
Lets see...since you are a Friend's officionado:
Ross: I would date her but there is a big age difference.
Joey: Well think about it when you're 90...
Ross: I know, she'll be 80 and it won't be such a big difference.
Joey: No. What I was gonna say is when you're 90 you'll still have the memory of what it was like to be with a 20-year-old.
-----------------------------
Ross: Oh, really? Well, I guess Monica should know about Atlantic City.
Chandler: Du-ude!
Monica: What happened in Atlantic City?
Ross: Well, Chandler and I are in a bar...
Chandler: Did you not hear me say, "Du-ude"?
Ross: ...and this girl is making eyes at Chandler, okay? So after a while he just goes over to her and, uh, after a minute or two, I see them kissing. Now, I know what you're thinking. Chandler's not the type of guy who just goes to bars and makes out with girls. And you're right. Chandler's not the type of guy just goes to bars and makes out with girls.
Monica: You kissed a guy? Oh my God.
Chandler: In my defense, it was dark and he was a very pretty guy.
-------------------------------
How can you forget Janice!
OH..........
MY...........
GAWD!!!!!!!!
------------------------------
Joey: Just because she went to Yale drama, she thinks she's like the greatest actress since, since, sliced bread!
Chandler: Ah, Sliced Bread, a wonderful Lady MacBeth.
Joey: God, I just, I hate her! I hate her! With her, "Oh, I'm so talented." and "Oh, I'm so pretty," and "Ooh, I smell so good."
Chandler: I think somebody has a crush on somebody.
Joey: Hey, Chandler, can we please stay focused on my problem here? Y'know?
Chandler: I'm talking about you. You big, big freak.
-------------------------------
Monica: Chandler, it's okay. You don't have to be so macho all the time.
Chandler: I'm not macho.
Monica: You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.
-------------------------------
Chandler: You can't come in.
Monica: Why not?
Chandler: Because, uh, Ross is naked.
Ross: What?
Chandler: Well, I couldn't tell her *I* was naked. She's allowed to see me naked.
Ross: Why does *anyone* have to be naked?
---------------------------------
Monica: Look, Chandler, I feel really bad about this. Please have this bachelor party.
Chandler: No.
Monica: Stop being a baby and watch the hot woman get naked.
Chandler: ...All right.
Joey: YEAH.
Chandler: But, I'm only doing this for you... And Joey.
Monica: Ok, so who's going to be there?
Chandler: No, no, no. Just Ross and Joey is humiliating enough.
Ross: Well, actually, I have a date tonight.
Chandler: Yeah, I understand. What kind of guy would blow off a date for a fake bachelor party.
Joey: [on cell phone] Yeah, baby, I'm not gonna make it tonight...

OK enough Friends quotes LOL There are so many! I wish I had the DVD series -- another christmas wish for next year already LOL
J
That was a fun one to read. I guess because I am a tv junkie!! I love Ghost Whisperer. I still don't know what the fate of Jim will be!!!!
I'm always singing theme songs. I can't get them out of my head!
Thanks for coming by with your well wishes. My most heartfelt wishes are coming your way for a wonderful new year!!!
take care,
Dawn
I'm gonna have to remember this meme... I love TV!!!! Hehe.
And I quote Friends on a VERY regular basis. I even do the "fake flipping you off" thing with your fists that Ross did. I'm SUCH a dork.
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!!
I protest! I LOVE Ghost Whisperer! So you're not the only one liking that show. :)
Even though I'm not a huge Friends fan, I do the fake flip off, too. Enough people know what it means and I can't do the *real* flip of in so many situations, but it is *so* often deserved. ;-)
Will always watch the Sox play. I love Friends, that Thanksgiving episode is one of my favorites. I really enjoy Ghost Whisperer, however I didn't at first. Lost, forget it. Lost hasn't interested me at all. How long can it possibly go on for, I wonder?
Dawn, you and I have a lot in common, when I read your lists like these it makes me smile that someone else likes them. Sorry except for baseball-can't stand it and well my hubby is a Yankees fan!! Oh but I SOOOOO love ghost whisperer and i am with you no one watches it...maybe we're the only ones at home fridays at 8pm LOL...
I love LOST but I also love trying to figure things out, but I kinda gave up and just go with it now.
Happy New Years!!!!!!!
I'm so with you on LOST. I gave up halfway through the second season...too much work and dedication - with no DVR you can't miss a week. Not for me.
We're polar opposites, televisionwise but I'd still love to watch a Sox game with you!
Krystyn: He is an obnoxious little troll, isn't he? =P
J-Dawg: If I thought about it for a bit, I bet I could name each of the episodes those scenes came from!
Dawn: That is such a strange story line. That makes two of my shows with strange story lines right now (Grey's has one going too) and I can't figure out where on earth the writers are going with them!
Jedi Sue: I do the same thing! LOL
Celtic Buffy: I know you do! I think that I may have to switch to saying "Eleventh Hour" or "The Mentalist" now when I answer questions about shows I don't think anyone else watches! How do you feel about the Jim story line though? I'm wishing which ever one of them is dreaming would just wake up already. =P
Nichole: We do that at work all the time! It's pretty funny.
EatCrayons: I started watching Ghost Whisperer mid way through the first season because there was nothing on. It was pretty bad back then but it was like a train wreck. I couldn't stop watching & now I'm hooked!
Julie: Maybe you don't like baseball because you're forced to watch the Yankees & deep down you're a Red Sox fan? ;-) You may be right about us being the only ones home at 8pm on Friday but that just means the others don't know what they're missing right??
Jenny: The Sox are all that matter anyway. ;-) As Stephen King says "Red Sox baseball is the best thing on television. Everything else sucks."
