Me too!! If I need to get really serious (like when a student plagiarizes a paper), I still tell myself to channel Scully .

Deep down, I am totally Mulder.

Good to see so many X-Files fans on here.

 

[LilyM]

Monty Python’s Flying Circus…nobody specific, lets just say all of them shall we (although the Inquisition guys really crack me up).

I just discovered Monty Python (thats a travesty isn’t it…I’m almost 21 for crying out loud) and I LOVE it!

Woody’s last name was Boyd in the show…and how could I forget Frasier, as well?

[bluerose]

The cast of “Early Edition” (the TV series, not the news show): Gary, Chuck, Marissa and the cat (Gary and the cat were my faves!)

Speaking of news shows, I always loved Andy Rooney on “60 Minutes”.

Anyone remember “Real People”? Skip Stephenson (God rest his soul) doing his comedy routine about the cheerleaders from his Catholic school still cracks me up all these years later!

We also never missed “L.A. Law” although the only characters who seemed to have any redeeming qualities were Suzanne (Arnie’s secretary), Benny (the mentally challenged mailroom worker) and the head of the firm played by Richard Dysart (and for the life of me I can’t remember the character’s name!)
