The show that I get the most pleasure out of is Mystery Science Theater 3000, on Comedy Central. I also like Beavis and Butthead, though a little bit goes a long way. I never get tired of Absolutely Fabulous, but I was disappointed when the daughter put on weight in the last season.
I really like Melrose Place: It’s on a level of badness that everyone is enjoying, and I’ve loved Heather Locklear since she was on Dynasty.
I watch all the shows that are aimed at people like me: NYPD Blue, ER, Dream On, The Larry Sanders Show.
I watch as little news as possible. The Capitol Gang, with Robert Novak on CNN, is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen.
