Cloris Leachman Is F'n Brilliant!

I don't watch Dancing With The Stars but I do like to see which "celebs" they can wrangle to participate. The list has improved each go round and this season's crop of stars includes some pretty notable names (Beijing Gold Medalist Misty May-Treanor and gastrosexual Rocco DiSpirito to name a few) but none of them are as legit famous/talented as Cloris Leachman.

She's an Oscar winner, and an Emmy winner a million times over. Plus she's tough as nails, even at 82-years-old. And did I mention she's flippin' hilarious!

Here's the video (Sorry it's not embedded. I'm working on it. ) of Leachman sticking it to Bob Saget and the rest of the panel at Saget's Comedy Central Roast. When I saw this on TV I went into one of those " I'm pretty sure I can't breathe yet I can't stop laughing" kind of moments. She may be worth watching Dancing for.

Shows I Wish I Cared About

Sometime's it's lonely at the ground floor. I just didn't think certain shows would last, so I let them go on without me. Now everyone is tuning in and I'm stuck with re-runs of Fresh Prince. Here are a few that I'm thinking of this morning:

• Dancing With The Stars - Z-List celebrities cha-cha their way to back to relevancy. I should have believed the commercials. They told me it was a hit show all around the world. You know what else was a hit all around the world? Communism. That didn't last too long. Who knew people loved this stuff?


• CSI & all of its ideations - I watched a few episodes of CSI, but once it split off into Miami, I thought it was done for. Pish-posh! The show took off like a motorboat filled with cocaine. Now Jessie Spano is showing up as Horatio's ex-wife. Just don't call her a chick!


• The newest version of Battlestar Galactica: Shocking, I know. But I hear it's one of the best shows on television. Caprica? Thirteenth Colony? It's all Cylon to me. Plus Dwight Shrute is a fan and he knows fun.


• The Tudors - Sex, killing, accents, old-timey clothes. What's not to like? I may try to catch up with this one on On Demand. Plus, I feel like Jonathan Rhys Meyers has something to prove after August Rush. Make it reign dude!
