Wow: 5 TV Moments You Still Remember (And Probably Won't Forget)
1. Ally McBeal - When Nell let her hair down (literally!) for the first time. I had never gotten that "umph!" feeling for a woman before. Yay for first girl crushes!
2. News - Baby Jessica being stuck in the well. I was, like, 3 years old when it happened, but I vividly remember watching the coverage on tv.
3. Saturday Night Live - Paul Simon performing "The Boxer" during the opening of the first post-9/11 show. I cried like a baby.
4. Heroes - "Company Man" in its entirety. It is seriously one of the greatest hours of television I've ever watched.
5. The Office - Andy singing "Take A Chance on Me." If only Jim had taken this route on "Casino Night"...

5. This entire discussion:

Ryan: You know what I really want? Honestly Michael, is for you to know it, so you can communicate to the people here, to your clients, to whomever.
Michael: Huh, okay.
Ryan: What?
Michael: It's whoever, not whomever.
Ryan: No, it's whomever.
Michael: No, whomever is never actually right.
Jim: No, sometimes its right.
Creed: Michael is right. It's a made-up word used to trick students.
Andy: No. Actually, whomever is the formal version of the word.
Oscar: Obviously it's a real word, but I don't know when to use it correctly.
Michael: Not a native speaker.
Kevin: I know what's right, but I'm not gonna say, because you're all jerks who didn't come see my band last night.
Ryan: Do you really know which one is correct?
Kevin: I don't know.
Pam: It's 'whom' when it's the object of a sentence, and 'who' when it's the subject.
Phyllis: Yeah, that sounds right.
Michael: Well it sounds right, but is it?
Stanley: How did Ryan use it? As an object?
Ryan: As an object.
Kelly: Ryan used me as an object.
Stanley: Is he right about that?
Pam: How did he use it again?
Toby: It was Ryan wanted Michael, the subject, to explain the computer system, the object.
Michael: Thank you.
Toby: To whomever, meaning us, the indirect object. Which is the correct usage of the word.
Michael: No one, uh, asked you anything ever, so whomever's name is Toby, why don't you take a letter opener and stick it into your skull.

LMAO "Not a native speaker"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed that line when I watched that episode!

This looks like fun! I'm gonna save it for work, since I'm closing the office today, which means I'll be alone for, oh, three hours with nothing to do. *headdesk* So yeah. :)

3. Supermarket Sweep (!!!)

I wanted to be on that SO BAD. Even though the amount of skill involved was questionable. BUT STILL, it was magical.

OMG! Head of the Class! Supermarket Sweep! I totally forgot about those shows, used to love them. Also used to be madly obsessed with Ally McBeal, but I hated Nell, I'm afraid. (sorry!) Also, I'm totally with you on the Phoebe front. *prissy mocking English tone* "Oh, hollow bones." UGH! All of your quotes rule. Especially #2. ;)

[sonjamillicent.livejournal.com]

Oh, word about Phoebe and Uncle Jack. I think I've blacked them out or something.
