TV Tonight: "TV's Funniest Moments"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 06:29:00 -0700

If you're hanging out at home tonight and need a laugh, it might be worth flipping over to Fox for "TV's Funniest Moments." The two-hour special, hosted by Brad Garrett and produced in conjunction with the Museum of Television and Radio, will be counting down 30 of the all-time most hilarious moments in TV history.

Naturally, Fox isn't saying what the 30 moments are, but it sounds like the special will cover a broad range of shows, from sitcoms to late-night to sketch comedy. Clips from "The Honeymooners" to "Seinfeld" to "Spin City" to "In Living Color" will be part of the list.

I'm curious to see what makes the top 30 (and I'd bet money that the famous chocolate factory scene from "I Love Lucy" will be one of the chosen moments). Garrett's pretty funny himself, so I'm hoping this will end up being a riot.

Great TV Wedding Moments: "Everybody Loves Raymond"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 05:30:51 -0700

As we've mentioned, it's wedding planning mania here on the Sugar Network, and throughout the next couple of weeks, I'll be sharing some of my favorite wedding moments from television.

"Everybody Loves Raymond" is not my favorite TV show. Sometimes it's worth a chuckle, but I find most of the jokes to be trite and I've gotten supremely sick of watching Ray's mother Marie be so mean to her daughter-in-law. I do, however, enjoy the character of Amy, Robert's virginal girlfriend-turned-wife.

The episode in which she and Robert get married is, of course, fraught with in-law fighting until Raymond saves the day with his best man speech. Then — and this is the part that makes me cry a little — Robert and Amy do their first dance (which is choreographed!) to "A Little Less Conversation." I don't know why this moment gets to me so much ... they just look so happy! Okay, enough blubbering, to watch the clip

Great TV Wedding Moments: "'Til Death"

As we've mentioned, it's wedding planning mania here on the Sugar Network, and throughout the next couple of weeks, I'll be sharing some of my favorite wedding moments from television.

Now, I like the romance of weddings as much as the next gal, but sometimes all the hearts-and-flowers goopiness makes me gag. So for the inner cynic in all of us, I've rustled up this video of Brad Garrett — aka Eddie on Fox's "'Til Death" — talking about engagements, weddings, and married life with a healthy dose of brutal honesty. Garrett plays word association with terms such as "wife," "wedding ceremony," and "waterbed" ("also known in my case as the dead sea"). Oh, Brad. It can't be that bad, can it? To watch the clip,

TV Tonight: "'Til Death"

I'd almost forgotten about the Fox sitcom "'Til Death" until it turned up this week on Variety's list of "bubble" shows that could be canceled. Guess I wasn't the only one who lost track of it.

The sitcom's fortunes could change, however, now that Fox is trying to boost the show about neighboring married couples by airing it right after the "American Idol" results show on Wednesday nights. If you've seen it, let me know if it's worth checking out. Brad Garrett's facial expressions crack me up, and I've missed Joely Fisher ever since "Ellen" went off the air, so I'm tempted to leave the TV on after "Idol" and give it a shot.
