The Best Show You're Not Watching...

I am a huge fan of The New Adventures of Old Christine. On a night when there is very, very little of any substance on TV, this show is a shining star. Even when I wasn't always the hugest fan of Seinfeld, I was always a fan of Julia Louis-Dreyfus'. I loved her first foray back into sitcom after Seinfeld, Watching Ellie; I knew it wouldn't make it...it was just too good.

I am afraid for Old Christine, too! Even though JLD won an Emmy for her role and the show is highly regarded, nothing can save a program except advertising dollars, which come from ratings. So, all you people with a Nielsen box, start watching!

Speaking of Nielsen boxes, remember that episode of All-American Girl, Margaret Cho's first sitcom? Her family was selected to have a Nielsen box, and they never left the couch--they felt so much pressure to keep shows alive. It was hilarious. Speaking of Margaret Cho, luh-her! She was on Chelsea Handler last night (luh-her, too!), and it turns out that Margaret will be in DC on APRIL 10th!! I've seen her twice before, and she is fantastic! And now she finally has an all-new show. So, who wants to go??

P.S. A dingo ate your baby...

UPDATE! 9:18 p.m.: My friend Iwonka says she's stopping by for a glass of wine and a cigarette. She says she must leave by 10:30. Whom amongst us is brave enough to place a wager on when she'll leave? Midnight? Eleven? I shall let you know, young grasshoppers!
