Screw Raymond

  • October 8th, 2004

What is the deal with Everybody Loves Raymond?  I really don’t see the appeal. Sure, it’s an ok show and if it’s on and nothing else is, I’ll watch it, but I won’t go out of my way for it or anything.

I was in the grocery store last night and I saw on the checkstand a little point-of-purchase stand-up that said, “It’s here! The show of our generation, Everybody Loves Raymond: The First Season now available on DVD!”

The “show of our generation”?  Man, that’s a broad statement, no?  The show of my generation was Seinfeld, in my opinion.  Some may say Friends, fine fine.  But for me, nothing will replace Beefareeno and Dolores.  Nothing!  I am the Master of My Own Domain.  And anyone younger than me… I don’t know that a neurotic housewife, a mama’s boy with some sinus issues, some old farts and a dopey cop really make for a Generation Y or Millenial touchstone, you know?

I do not love Raymond.  There, I’ve said it.

p.s. totally unrelated, but the Boobiethon photos have been *ahem* updated. Rawr.

Next Stop: Oprah! Moxie Client on Dr. Phil!

We were super excited earlier this month when our client, Patricia of MotherinLawHell.com, told us that she was going to be on Dr. Phil’s show.  Woo!  That’s amazing to start.  But when we found out her website was going to be displayed on Dr. Phil’s “big screen” we were even more excited. National television? Syndicated even? Yes, please.

Last Friday the episode aired and I made sure to record it for posterity. Full disclosure: I don’t watch Dr. Phil often (ok, ever), but I was more than happy to watch it that day! And according to Patricia, the Dr. Phil staff “LOVE the design!” and think “it’s so FUN!”.  Yay! We’re thrilled to hear that since we pride ourselves on bold and happy designs. We do fun. Come and knock on our door, Dr. Phil’s staff. Anytime! smile

Yelp Goodness

Island Style Cafe (4/5) on Yelp

I had breakfast here with Lyn P., who recommended it and really, really enjoyed it. The place is really unassuming and since I rarely venture into Tierrasanta, I'd never have known it was there…
