TV on TV (You know what I mean)

Comedy Central now has the Seinfeld franchise and Saturday evening, they kicked things off with the “fans’” top ten Seinfeld episodes. Here is the top ten list:

#10 – The Contest

#9 – The Hamptons

#8 – The Festivus

#7 – The Boy Friend (Part 1)

#6 – The Close Talker

#5 – The Yada Yada

#4 – The Little Kicks

#3 – The Bizarro Jerry

#2 – The Puffy Shirt

#1 – The Soup Nazi

Seinfeld is my all-time favorite television comedy series and I disagree with some of the top ten choices (numbers 3 and 8, for example) and the numerical order of the top ten. (“The Soup Nazi” is good, but most of the other episodes on the top ten are better than “The Soup Nazi”).  

And how can “The Chinese Restaurant” not be in the top ten?

“The Red Dot” is another episode that is top ten-worthy. Besides the humor of that episode’s plot, it also includes one of the few crossdressing references in the series when Jerry finds himself in the women’s department of a department store and he says, “I never feel comfortable in the women’s department. I feel like I’m just a little too close to trying on a dress.”

Ninety minutes after the Seinfeld top ten, Kim Kardashian guest-hosted Saturday Night Live. 

I am not a Kardashian fan, but she is Femulate Her-worthy and she fills that slot in today’s post primarily because I love her hairdo in the Lotto Drawing segment of Saturday’s broadcast. 

Where can I get a wig like hers?

I have been binge-watching VH1 Classic's 19-day 24/7 marathon broadcast of Saturday Night Live episodes from 2015 to 1975. They started with episodes from 2015 and are working backwards in time to the very first show featuring the Not Ready For Prime-Time Players. Currently they are showing episodes from circa 2000 and coincidentally Monday night they had Tom Brady's hosting of SNL in 2005.

To tell you the truth, I have not watched SNL religiously over the years mainly because I need my beauty rest. As 11:30 PM approaches on Saturday nights, I have to decide between beautiful or amused. Beautiful often wins out and I go to bed.

To really tell you the truth, at my age it's not a choice between beautiful or amused, rather I am just tired and want to go to sleep!

Either way, a lot of the episodes that I binge-watched were new to me. And I was surprised by how many femulations I missed over the years. I was not even aware of many of them, for example, Ashton Kutcher as Julia Roberts or Justin Timberlake's appearances en femme.

I was most amused by MeHarmony, SNL's parody of the online dating service eHarmony. Here it is if you haven't seen it; I highly recommend it!
