1.) The Cliché: Wonder Twin Powers, Activate! As Seen On: "The Addams Family," "Bewitched," "Friends" How It Works: A character meets someone who looks just like him/her, while the viewers know that it's really the famous actor playing both roles with the help of a split screen and some clever editing. Typically, the actor will wear a mustache or wig, accessorizing them with a knowing wink to the audience. A modern example would be "Friends," which shamelessly milked the joke twice, for Phoebe's sister Ursula and Ross' doppelganger Russ. Just in case anyone needed a reminder that David Schwimmer has as many dimensions as a three-panel comic strip. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.) The Cliché: Thinking a Sentence is Two Words Long As Seen On: "Newhart," "Three's Company," "Frasier" How It Works: Someone begins a sentence ("I'm dying ...") and then finishes it ("...my hair on Tuesday.") after an eavesdropping co-star has left the room or removed their glass from the other side of the door. A huge misunderstanding follows, causing everyone to do outrageous things and deliver dialogue that stops just short of necessitating an explanatory conversation. At the end of the episode, naturally, the truth emerges and everyone has a good laugh about it. If only we could had turned the set off two words into the show. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.) The Cliché: Sir, Would You Like a Tongue-Lashing With Your Beverage? As Seen On: "Benson," "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," "Will & Grace" How It Works: Good luck finding any real family that has a butler/live-in maid, never mind one allowed to voice his/her dissatisfaction with the caste system by firing dry-mouthed arrows of sarcasm toward their (typically unsuspecting) employers. If these people hold such resentment, it makes you wonder what they're doing to the food. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.) The Cliché: Double Date, Double Trouble As Seen On: "Sister, Sister," "Boy Meets World," "Joey" How It Works: A seemingly smooth character makes multiple dates for the same night, usually by mistake. Unable to cancel, he/she must run from one place to the other and maintain a seemingly never-ending web of deception, until the pressure becomes too much. Usually, all the dates get mad and leave the character alone, having learned his/her lesson. The canned laughter erupts, the credits roll, and we wonder where the last half-hour of our lives has gone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.) The Cliché: You're Not My Kid! As Seen On: "Roseanne," "Growing Pains," "Family Ties" How It Works: Everybody knows that when a show needs a ratings boost, you have a baby. But what happens after those initial diaper-changing storylines get old, and the show is bogged down with a silent, comedic dead weight? Age the kid a few years, of course, and bring in a precocious kid actor while keeping the series stars the same age. "Roseanne" took the absurd plot device one step further in 1993, switching in a new actress for the teenaged Becky Conner character. Eventually, Becky was switched back, but few noticed because their televisions had been similarly switched -- to a different channel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.) The Cliché: An Unexpected Delivery As Seen On: "Welcome Back Kotter," "The Nanny," "7th Heaven" How It Works: An elevator gets stuck between floors, and then a woman goes into labor! The baby is delivered in the most unusual of places, while our characters get a valuable refresher course in the magic of life. Makes you want to take the stairs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7.) The Cliché: We're Trapped - Let's Reminisce! As Seen On: "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Mad About You," "Malcolm in the Middle" How It Works: Stuck somewhere they don't want to be and faced with time to kill, the show's characters think back to all the good times they've had. Viewers are expected to enjoy the trip down memory lane, but if you hit "mute" on your TV you can instead listen to the collective groan of an entire nation, disappointed at having tuned in to another lame clip show. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.) The Cliché: I'm (Cough, Cough) Not Feeling Well As Seen On: "The Brady Bunch," "Diff'rent Strokes" How It Works: A little kid, wanting to get to meet his/her idol, fakes a severe illness. When the superstar actually does show up, the little tyke needs to give the performance of a lifetime. The child's parents and the superstar eventually uncover the truth, giving the youngster both a lesson in lying and an autograph to hock on eBay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9.) The Cliché: Now You Don't See Me, Now You ... Still Don't See Me As Seen On: "Rhoda," "Cheers," "Home Improvement" How It Works: A character is discussed, occasionally even heard from, but is never actually glimpsed on camera. It's a dumb old gimmick that invites the audience to play along, but can we finally put it to bed after watching Wilson awkwardly position himself behind fences for nine years of "Home Improvement"? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.) The Cliché: Look, I'm in a Dress! Isn't This Funny? As Seen On: "Alf," "Perfect Strangers," "According to Jim" How It Works: The saddest of all sitcom clichés: when writers get lazy, they go for the cheap joke of cross-dressing. Characters dress up like members of the opposite gender to sneak into gender-specific clubs, to spy on spouses, or to earn money while in Las Vegas. "Some Like it Hot" came out nearly 50 years ago; does anybody really still get a laugh out of Jim Belushi in a dress? Link To The Article Agree or disagree? Discuss.

Edge because he's never been given a chance.
-
For me, I would include: - Angle Vs. Edge from Backlash 2002 - Either the 4th of July 2002 Angle / Undertaker title match or the September 2003 title match, both from SD as I enjoyed them very much. - There was a fun match back in 2003, I forgot the date, between Kurt Angle & The Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesnar & John Cenaon SD I'd like to see on the DVD. - Also the Angle Vs. Big Show / TWGTT handicapped match in July. - Definitely the Vengeance 2003 Triple Threat match, one of the best triple threat PPV main events ever. - As well as the Angle / Lesnar Iron Man Match although I guess you could save that for the next Brock Lesnar DVD. - And finally the Angle / Guerrero match from WM 20 which I liked better than their SS rematch.
-
For RAW: Cena / Jericho - WWE Championship Hogan / Michaels HHH / Angle CCC / RVD - IC Title For SD: Batista / Undertaker - World Heavyweight Title Benoit / JBL - US Title Mysterio / Guerrero Booker T / Regal

Haven't tried it yet. I'm still addicted to the Ranchero.

Okay, yeah. Somebody HAS to record this! Please? FUCK! I miss the Laso from El Paso. Sounds sweet! *groans While I'll mark out for Animal, so much for Eugene being Heidenreich's friend. One of the worst feuds ever continues... Granted, that wasn't Batista's fault, but thats a nice cheapshot nontheless. For once, SD sounds GOOD though! I'll check it out.

Both Shelton Benjamin and HBK being booed at Bad Blood 2004.

In no order: LOD Demolition The Hart Foundation The Steiner Bros. Harlem Heat Edge & Christian TWGTT Mysterio / Kidman Benoit / Malenko STRIKE FORCE

Seriously, I don't get the hate for Lesnar leaving. Last time I checked, he was scheduled to be annihilated by the Undertaker at Judgment Day last year so that means Guerrero / Bradshaw for the WWE Championship would have STILL taken place. And what would have Lesnar jobbing to the Dead Man done? Nothing because the Undertaker went on to job to Bradshaw. Difference is Puder isn't a hoss.

I DARE you to sport a 50 Cent shirt to the concert.

First, Barry White. Then, Ray Charles. Now, Luther Vandross. GOD DAMN IT!

Give me reasons to hate Shawn Michaels.
Lil' Bitch replied to The Mandarin's topic in General Wrestling
He's only jobbed once CLEAN in a singles match since he came back from injury. Yup, you guessed it. WM 21. -
Well shit, they need to hire back Johnny Stamboli! *wants to see a Mamalukes reunion

Looks like something out of a bad B movie. With radioactive waste involved.

At the 95 Rumble, Shawn Michaels comes out as number one and balls his fist up at the camera with the initials "TK" on the back of the glove. Whose initials are those?

Orton or the Undertaker. I have a STRONG feeling its only a matter of time before The Animal squares off with the Dead Man.
