Thank god, No More Microsoft-Seinfeld Ads--They were stupid and horrible

Millions Microsoft paid Jerry Seinfeld to lend his star quality to their ads. Millions and they sure got millions back. Millions of confused looks from viewers and millions of remote control clicks as people quickly changed the station. And emails and letter complaining about how bad these ads were.

Why is it that if you ask the man on the street, they will always tell you that of the four main characters on Seinfeld, Jerry was the least funny and yet the powers that be continue to view him as some kind of comedy god? How many more years of Curb Your Enthusiasm do these people have to see to show that Larry David was the true comic genius behind that show and Jerry his willing puppet.

Jerry enjoy your money and until Larry David calls again, raise your kids.

WoW!!! TV writer explains the final episode of The Sopranos as he sees it

He's convinced me. I've always been horrible at picking up symbolism in any artistic form. That's why most literature is lost on me. And if I lived to be 100, I would never have seen all the "clues" this man points out. But in the absence of any other plausible endings, I'll take this one. I still don't like it (you'd hear the final shot even if you lost your eyesight immediately), but at least I think I understand it a whole lot more. And the references to The Godfather have to be taken seriously since the show quoted from Godfather so often.
Bob Harris is a very smart writer. My hats off. And he claims he picked up much of this on first viewing. Amazing.
