TV-related

Sometimes I forget how much I like Seinfeld. I think that's because at the times it's on here I'm usually either doing something else or watching something else. But last night I caught one of my favorite episodes and found myself literally laughing out loud. It was the one where the valet contaminates Jerry's car with his BO and Jerry can't get the smell out. The smell permeates into Jerry's clothes, Elaine's hair. It's so bad that Jerry believes the smell has taken on a life of its own. If I had a pen handy at the time I would have written down some of the best lines. Then again, pretty much the entire show was hilarious.

Now that I've grossed you out by making you think of gaggingly bad BO, let's move onto something food-related. I just learned that there are groups of people who hate ... despise, actually ... Rachael Ray of "30 Minute Meals" and other Food Network shows. I mean, these people really, really hate her. And not just the way she cooks or what she cooks. They hate the way she looks, talks, laughs, walks, dresses, tastes her food, shops, chops. Everything, I'm tellin' ya. There are blogs dedicated to hating Rachael. There are "I Hate Rachael Ray" Web sites comparing her to Hitler. C'mon people. Get a freakin' grip here! One of the oddest things about this whole "I hate Rachael Ray" phenomenon is that many of these people watch her every day! And they don't just watch the cooking show. They watch "$40 a Day" and her specials, too.

I'm not an Emeril fan. I don't watch him. Simple.
