good evening everybody! oh my goodness - my internet is back on - woo hoo! i'm like beside myself with pop joy - after it being basically off since early saturday morning - i almost don't know what to do right now! (except get a credit from the cable company - ugh!) when i was walking the doggies this morning - i saw a cute repairman from time warner cable - who i basically accosted about the lack of net connectivity - he was visiting another apartment with the exact same issue! well before you know it - the problem was 'escalated' and when i came home for lunch - there was not one but two TW trucks parked outside my building! it turned out to be a problem with the building's amplifier (which i knew all along...) oh lordy - i'm surfing the internet like a fiend - i swear that i'll never take the internet for granted again - when it's on use it!
as i was looking around the web tonight for something to post on - i came across recent pictures of my darling lisa kudrow taken this past tuesday at the '08 film independent spirit awards nominations - which of course reminded me of those not too distant carefree & happy days of valerie cherish and her show the comeback which HBO killed with poor judgment and pure cruelty! there's nothing going on right now with that channel - they should be begging for ms. cherish to 'comeback'! (i admit to watching this season of curb your enthusiasm but that came to an end - i do hope we'll be seeing more of larry david - that show does kick serious ass!)
if you haven't experienced the comeback yet - you must! the first (and sadly) only season is available on DVD - and let me go all oprah winfrey for a moment - the DVD would make the top of my 'favorites list' (a perfect holiday present) if i could give you all a copy - i'd do it in a heartbeat! in fact i just tossed it on now - it's beyond hilarious and ms. kudrow shines as a washed up sitcom star makin' her comeback - one of the best characters in TV history - she's right up there with edith & archie bunker (my top TV show of all-time hands down is all in the family followed closely by the comeback & twin peaks (which i have a great post about coming up soon on popbytes - stay tuned for that - oh it's a good one!)
plus i've got to mention that in my crusade to save the show (i do own valeriecherish.com - which contains the archive of the many posts i did on 'the comeback') i was able to connect & make friends with a bunch of cool people over the show - fans of valerie stick together! i know i must sound a bit like a crazy person - but for those of you who love valerie cherish you'll totally get me - as for the rest of you - please check out the show! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
PS as an added bonus there's a clip of an extra from the DVD which features valerie cherish in the dressing room after a performance on dancing with the stars - which turned out to be my guilty viewing pleasure for the past few weeks - helio was great but i think 'spice girl' mel b was robbed!
MK, that is so cool that you worked at saving The Comeback. I rented the show and Lisa is soo talented, love her. I hope she saw your website(s)!

I will never understand why this show was cancelled. I really think that someone at HBO had it out for Lisa Kudrow. This to me is the best show ever created...and not only because of Valerie Cherish (but large part of it is) but because the show is so well written and filmed. I remember watching the first epsiode and not being able to stop. I watched the entire season in ONE night. Its just shit that some "reality" shows had a longer run than this A-MAZING show.

Valerie Cherish is a goddess,
I can't believe she's gone.
I don't understand why we can't see more of her. She is the essence of comedy. I can watch season one over and over again...but I would KILL for another season.
One can only watch the special features so many times...
who am I kidding, I will never get tired of it!

I just rewatched the DVD over the holidays and I am still hooked! Each time I watch an episode I pick up another nuance that I hadn't noticed before. Sheer brilliance! Lisa Kudrow was robbed of that Emmy!
