Lately, I have been watching the eleven seasons of the American Sitcom – Frasier. For the uninitiated, Frasier is the sitcom which kept defeating Seinfeld (another popular american sitcom of 90’s) year after year at Emmys. Seinfeld is my favorite Sitcom. It is the American equivalent of our ‘Flop Show’ by Jaspal Bhatti. The show about nothing, which mocks every foundation of American Society. But I have to admit, the Emmy people were right in giving all the awards to Frasier ( it broke all records). It is quite simply, the smartest and best written television comedy ever. continue reading…

There was an episode of Friends (God I hate the mushy stuff but it was really good in season 3 and 4) in which, Joey tells Chandler that babies are chick magnets. Well maybe. It signals that the guy is caring and appeals to the deep wired evolutionary tendency to pick good fathers for their kids but it is lame, you will have to admit. For one it is too obvious. Second anyone can do it (it has been done to death).Third and most important by doing this trick you are leveraging on the good emotions. But as Star wars and Lord of the rings are any evidences, then forces of darkness are always stronger than the forces of light. Ok fine, forces of darkness are only stronger in short run and in the long run, light prevails. But scoring chicks is essentially a short term endeavor.
