Keeping up with the Memers
Velocidude recently posted a cartoon short that was one of his favorites as a kid.
So I tried to find mine, but alas, it is NOT available on the web. Ugh.
You see, I was always a Merrie Melodies gal. Not so big on the Bugs Bunny and pals, but I loved the Mel Blanc shorts. My all time favorite is a bit from 1953 called "A Sheep in the Deep" starring Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf, who many of you will recognize a an early version of Foghorn Leghorn's nemesis George P. Dog and Wile E. Coyote.
If you have never seen any of the series, the premise is that Sam and Ralph are buddies, except at work, where the sheepdog's job is to keep the wolf away from the sheep, and the wolf's job is to catch them. Sam and Ralph clock in and clock out every day.
And to appease those of you who MUST have a video, my favorite of the modern Warner Bros. cartoons. Pinky and the Brain present "The Parts of the Brain:"
For the curious, this little ditty was actually part of my PhD thesis talk. No, really.

I remember when Pinky and the Brain came out, but I never had time to watch it. Darling daughter would've been a junior in high school, young son would have been in 6th grade when it started - things never slowed down from there... although I think my son watched it.
As for Sam and Ralph... I LOVED them. They were a riot.

I LOVE Sam and Ralph! Especially when they clock out and Ralph is usually bandaged up.

I have pinky and the brain stuffed dolls, for a long time I had the sounds for all my windows sounds and as a screen saver. I knew all the words to the song. I loved that show.

Ralph was just like Wile E. Coyote. He never won. But the Sam n Ralph cartoons were a great riff on corporate organization man America.

Tuesday TiVo dilemma
The TiVo records 2 things at a time, and we can't watch another channel when it records 2.
Tuesday at 9, however, is a WEALTH of good TV. What's a girl to do?
House DWS elimination show Deadliest Catch (it's back! YAY!) Dog the Bounty Hunter
Thank God the cable companies re-run their primetime shows 3 or 4 hours later. DC and Dog each record at 1am Wednesday, while DWS and House record LIVE...
So I'll be seeing both of them tonight.
I've mentioned before how much I LURVE Deadliest Catch. Don't ask why. I just like watching these guys go out and try to beat Mother Nature and make BANK in 2 weeks. Good for them.

we have so much recorded that we need to watch, including Deadliest Catch. Also four episodes from LAST SEASON of the Shield, which also started back up last night. So now five episodes of that. I'm also now three episodes behind on Friday Night Lights.
I need a nice leisure day to watch hours and hours of tv.
Three more weeks until the end of this semester...

I watch DWS on ABC.com. My Tivo is only hooked up to record/view one show at a time. POS
BTW, House was really good. And I think next week's is going to be great.

Flap and Mrs. Flap have 3 DVR's and they all are constantly recording.
Now to find the time to watch it all.
