Like Father AND Son

You wouldn’t think it, and most of you don’t even know anything about it, but ESPN’s new (week)daily sports show Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable is highly amazing.  And after only 2ish weeks on the air, we’re ready to declare it the mos entertaining show currently on television.  Yep, we’re that crazy for it, and you could be too, even if yer not a sports fan

If you have (or have ever had) a father, this is required viewing.  Why should having a father matter?  Well, Miami Herald journalist and frequent PTI guest host (the only acceptable one besides the no longer used Norman Chad) Dan Le Batard is certainly smart & engaging enuff to carry a show by himself, but in the ultimate sign of love and respect, and to the audience’s HUGGGGE benefit & delight, he makes every day of his show ‘bring your father to work day’

By employing his enthusiastic and HIGHlarious papi Gonzalo, Dan’s show elevates itself from a mill-of-the-run sports talk head-ache into something quite special, and significant.  Not only is the Le Batard father-son banter an endless roller-coaster of riotous laughter, it’s also a moving (in 2 senses of the word) picture postcard of the modern American family (eat that Modern Family), thus making it also the best family AND reality show on television (eat that every family AND reality show on TV)

These guys are so loving and loveable that you’ll wish you were a Le Batard, or could at least bring your father to work (unless of course yer dad is a giant prick)

Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable airs week-daily on ESPN at 4pm EST.  set yer DVRs to fun!

My Dear Mr. Cleaver:

This paragraph has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
It is here merely to fill up space. Still, it is words,
rather than repeated letters, since the latter might not
give the proper appearance, namely, that of an actual note.

For that matter, all of this is nonsense, and the only
part of this that is to be read is the last paragraph,
which part is the inspired creation of the producers of
this very fine series.

Another paragraph of stuff. Now is the time for all good
men to come to the aid of their party. The quick brown
fox jumps over the lazy dog. My typing is lousy, but the
typewriter isn’t so hot either. After all, why should I
take the blame for these mechanical imperfections, with
which all of us must contend. Lew Burdette just hit a
home run and Milwaukee leads seven to one in the series.
This is the last line of the filler material of the note.
No, my mistake, that was only the next to last. This is last.

I hope you can find a suitable explanation for Theodore’s
unusual conduct.

Yours truly,
Cornelia Rayburn

speaking of Leave It To Beaver, did you know that The Munsters lived in their neighborhood?

and the same ‘neighborhood’, aka Colonial Street backlot  sets at Universal Studios Hollywood, also housed Gremlins, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The ‘Burbs, and currently the Desperate Housewives of Wisteria Lane??? crazytown!!!
