Barney adding the "Wo-oh-ah-oh" to Marshall's "You Just Got Slapped" song was perfect. Also, as someone mentioned, Shibboleth from West Wing would be there as well. So many quotable instances in that episode, but the conversation on how the President can't pardon a turkey was spectacular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-74057835295252314202008-11-27T14:45:00.000-05:002008-11-27T14:45:00.000-05:00That upbeat, enthusiastic voice-over guy is so ann...That upbeat, enthusiastic voice-over guy is so annoying.

Also, if you are a voter in one of the polls, remember that Texas already beat Oklahoma.<BR/><BR/>I'm not as thankful to DirecTV, who says I have to wait until Dec. 3rd to have someone sent out for a service call to put my dish back up.

Maybe I'll chime in later.<BR/><BR/>But I watched the trailer a few days ago, and I was amazed how much the two new actors were channeling the old. This could go either way: I don't want to see them struggling to be people they're not, but I do love the respect they're showing the original cast. Hopefully they meld the roles to themselves as they get more comfortable.Byron Hauckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781238264572019596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-14765216206923833542008-11-26T17:41:00.000-05:002008-11-26T17:41:00.000-05:00also, I'm thankful that Chuck has not been cancele...also, I'm thankful that Chuck has not been canceled, and for this blog too.

Based on the trailer I'm excited about Cannavale's Trevor (although did you notice his name is now Trevor PIERCE, which is probably appropriate?) and the new Claire already demonstrated some of the frustrated facial expressions that Paula Marshall was so good at. <BR/><BR/>I didn't know the remake was involving Diane Ruggerio - that makes me even more excited.
