After suffering a “mild” heart attack, American actor Kelsey Grammer is recovering in an undisclosed hospital in Hawaii. Grammer, most beloved for his recurring role as Sideshow Bob in The Simpsons television show (and, you know, that whole Cheers and Frasier thing that never really took off…), aged 53, owns property on the island of Kona with his wife Camille. According to AP, Grammer’s spokesman says the television and film star suffered a mild heart attack while paddle boarding on Saturday and will be released early this week, adding “there’s no reason to be blue.”
sorry. I have no idea what’s wrong with me.

Let me preclude this blog by stating explicitly that I watch way too much television. I know that it is detrimental to my general level of intelligence, but I just can’t help myself. So, the very much arbitrary (hence the title) notion struck me to give some suggestions as to what you may want to catch this season on the good ol’ boob tube. My proposed daily itinerary is as follows:
Mon: 11:30PM the Boondocks: This show dabbles in Manga-style animation and has the likes of John Witherspoon, Samuel L. Jackson, Charlie Murphy, and Regina King lending their comedic and vocal talent. It’s like “Word, ya know whatt’a mean?”
Tues: This day can be completely free from television. Go out and kick around some leaves or something.
Wed: South Park at 10:00PM. I feel secure that you all know what South Park is about. What kind of person couldn’t find at least some enjoyment in the “Imagination Land” trilogy?
Thurs: Thursday is a fine day for vegging in front of the blessed television screen. The Office airs at 9Pm on NBC, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia airs at 10PM on FX. Watch them both, and, trust me, you will be entertained.
Fri: What? You would actually watch T.V. on a Friday night? What a loser you are. Just kidding, having a life is overrated. I guess you could watch Deal or No Deal on NBC, if you have a thing for Bob Saget, or are for some other reason so inclined.
Sat: What else but NBC’s Saturday Night Live? See, it’s completely legit to stay in Saturday night, it is in no way comparable to staying in on a Friday.
Sun: At least a fraction of your “day of rest” could befittingly include watching a cartoon or two (or three, or four, or five). Although there is often some variation regarding show times, (and interference from those pesky athletic events), you can usually catch a chain of animated hilarity starting at 7:30PM on FOX that includes episodes of King of the Hill, the Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad. The entertainment doesn’t cease there. Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, and Lucy the Daughter of the Devil also air on Sunday night, starting at 11:30PM.
*It should also be noted that Late Night with Conan O’Brien is an excellent show that can be caught Monday through Friday on NBC at 12:37PM.
So, there you have it. Mind-numbingly awesome entertainment just waiting for you to take advantage. Life is good, no?

Simpsons Movie hype is building up. Check out their Web site for a few fun time wasters. You can play a few decent games, watch some trailers, take virtual tours of your favorite Springfield locations (most of them “coming soon”) and more interestingly, create your own Simpsons avatar:

Not a bad likeness. Watch out, according to Moe’s Love Tester, I’m a “Cassanova.”
gggrrrrrrr…..
In other news, it’s been over two hours since I uploaded a picture on Simpsonize Me , Burger King’s Simpson’s Avatar. It’s still loading…
