For instance:<BR/><BR/>LOST = New X-Files<BR/>VERONICA MARS = New Buffy<BR/>GREYS ANATOMY = Ally McBeal<BR/>DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES = Sex and the City<BR/>The OC = Beverly Hills 90210<BR/>The OFFICE = Seinfeld<BR/>FAMILY GUY = the Simpsons<BR/>HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER = Friends<BR/><BR/>What are some other match ups? What shows from the 90s have yet to find their Aughts Equivalent but deserve to (the West Wing?) What shows are better left dead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1145925076817783872006-04-24T20:31:00.000-04:002006-04-24T20:31:00.000-04:00loved "luxury lounge".

That is Artie for you, and this episode was this show's aria to him -- pushy, driven, insecure, prideful, stubborn, tragic Artie, one of the show's richest most quintessential characters.<BR/><BR/>the 'chris in la-la land' subplot, on the other hand, was more of a guilty pleasure; "d-girl" was much funnier. though I admit I was alternately howling while wondering, little carmine has been reduced to this?

I thought David Chase would maybe make an appearance during the luxury lounge scenes, so I <BR/>spotted him immediately on the plane. I love how some of the supporting players are getting their own showcase episodes before the show ends. I hope we get to see Furio again before the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
