.....and is has been trailed and trailed to death. One small problem
about the episode, IMHO, it was not funny.

I live in England, and I watched the Ricky Gervais episode.
I though it was rubbish.
What did other people think of it ?

Remember, it is in his bedroom, not the living room. So maybe we well
never see it again. The kids sitting in front of the old cathode-ray
tube in the living room with the wires and the antenna (even though he
has cable now) is such a part of OFF.

They use the bent-up rabbit ears to get the local PBS station, so that Lisa
can watch.... well, we've been wearing out the Simpsons' PBS gags lateley,
so I won't say it.

It's a Simpsons joke. You'd have to be a Simpsons fan to understand.
Also, Betty White rocks!

Didn't Homer climb up the pole and cut the cable after the big fight?
