Rushin out at SI

I didn't watch Friends much in its first run, but my wife is a Friends fanatic, which means we wind up watching reruns while we eat dinner. I've been married 5 years, so I've seen most all of them by now. And I have to say they're very sharply written. Not Seinfeld or Simpsons sharp, but sharp, witty writing regardless.

 

Yada, yada, yada.

 

this thread went to shit in a hurry ...

 

Yes, indeedy, as we wait to find out where Rushin resurfaces . . .

 

I didn't think that the 3rd lead needed to be so broad and one dimensional. It was a funny and witty show, and I felt that the broad physical comedy consistently took away from the show. Too much time was wasted on him and then they kept on feeding the unfunny beast. I also think that Wayne Knight did so much more than Michael Richards in a quarter of the screen time.

 

Sorry to those who threadjacked this topic - but back to the original point...

Any update on Rushin?

 

Last time I checked he's eating pizza at Sbarro's. Check back later. I think he's going to the movies.

 

I saw him at the flower shop. He either really screwed up, or he's getting some tonight.

 

Who's getting the job?

Oh wait.

 

Did you say, "Steve, why the long face?"

I kid, I kid.

I always loved Rushin's column, and hope he lands a great gig, or, even better, writes a sequel to Road Swing.

 

Yeah the "target audience." That show really never did catch on outside of Jews from NYC.

 

Okay, so I made it up. We all have seen the wild swings these threads take.
