    No. I only watch BBC America and Brideshead Revisted.

    To paraphrase a line from a Kevin Smith movie... Is this debate about Broad comedy or comedy about Broads?

    No one with a quarter of a brain considers any of those shows to be quality.

    I consider The Good Wife to be the best drama on network television.

    Hey ... where did brain go? Now I no talk good.

    Correction - the last three shows on the list is what I meant. The procedural dreck.

    I don't watch any of those except for The Good Wife, and yet that's one of the more elitist statements I've heard here lately.

    And that's tough to do.

    Well, consider the source. I'll put my brain against anyone's. I think we're talking ageism, too; anti-Tiffany Network vibe

    Dick probably said that while eating a bowl of arugula.

    Anyway, I agree with him. CBS' formulaic procedural shows are ass.

    Organic arugula.

    And breaking off witticisms about public school kids between bites.

    Can't fight the intellectual vigor of that.

    Adam Sandler can answer that for you, if he takes the time to stop counting his money for a few minutes.
