hey guys all I can say is welcome back ive missed all of u a lot. glad everything is back to normal. anyway fish I never saw an episode of it before . its sounds pretty fishy if u know what I mean I know what would possibly would have toped things off if mr. and mrs. fish would have had a kid and named him Charlie tuna fish . but sadly fish has been sunk. in the deep blue sea. maybe fish has met jabber jaw and the snorks u never know. the rat patrol was awesome I thought great charcters great actors kind of reminds me of gi joe the cartoon in a way but in rat patrol they never yelled yo joe. and there was no cobra. now on to benson funny well done the theme was awesome and the opening credits were awesome the dogs chasing beson was funny. in a lot of the 70s and 80s tv shows there was quite a few dogs it always seemed to be two dogs like for example magnum pi had the two dogs. I just thought id trought that out there because back then it was a doggie dog world. that all for now see u guys later Jamie.

hey I forgot to mention this before . bob and dave and my self Jamie could be the rat pack. and Anthony could be the big cheese of best episode ever . get the joke everyone refrence the rat patrol. oh one more thing Anthony I know one more doctor that could have helped u , marcus welby md . he could have oprated on u and said don't touch the sides and your nose lights up. again a refrence to the game operation dave I wanted to tell u before guess what I got on dvd at target this past week. bosom buddies season 1 tom hanks and peter scalori iwas so exicied to find it. Anthony if what bob mentioned about the right theme song doesn't come true u know the theme with words does not win. then on the next episode u have to do the the podcast naked Im sure bob and dave would love to see that over Skype it would be a drunk fest for sure for bob and dave . [[laugh out loud]] . see u soon Jamie.

I remember catching a bit of Fish and thinking Todd Bridges' character was somehow Willis here too, before being adopted in Diff'rent Strokes. As for Benson, I did watched this show more than Soap, mainly for the Benson and Kraus (Inga Swenson) scenes.

I remember watching Benson--not regularly, and I don't remember any episodes, but I remember all the main characters. So I did watch it! And I remember not-watching Fish. See, my dad really loved that character on Barney Miller, so we did watch the pilot of Fish--and that was the end of that. Which is not so surprising--Abe Vigoda was the master of the reaction, but it doesn't make a whole show unless there's something for him to react to, and Fish didn't have it. (What that show needed was a Gracie!)

One of the funnier episodes of the new season, guys... loved the riff on Fish... had me chuckling at my bed in 2am (when I usually listen to the show). Anthony's line on Vigoda's wife "rumors of her still being alive" was the winner of the show, but damn if that Goyetche doesn't crank out a ton of witty one-liners. The debate about the existence of god will probably never end, but to the believers, I offer this: If there is a god, how does 'Benson' can get 7 seasons and 'Police Squad' get 6 episodes? Also, dinosaurs.
