House Jumps the Shark
House was wearing a replica of Peter Fonda's leather jacket from Easy Rider in a scene tonight. Now, I've been known to grasp for my youth upon occasion, but that was just fucking pathetic.
By the by, why do they say the abysmal Happy Days went tits up when Fonzie jumped the shark on water skis? Didn't it actually go tits up when Robin Williams showed up as Mork from Fucking Ork? I don't remember the early '60's too well, but I don't remember no fucking cokeblow needledicks dressed up as hirsute aliens. Anal probes? Yes. Red spandex and Tourette's Syndrome? No way. You could say the suspension of my disbelief was actually, ah, unsuspended after that episode.
And, yes, I realize how pathetic it is that I recognized that jacket right away.
Ten years later TV started to dull my senses, thank god. I read books, good ones and bad ones up to then, thank god, once again,

Just Damn!
