Celebrities and Canada

Celebrity Jeopardy starts today. I don't usually watch game shows, but if I do, Jeopardy would be my pick. And they have the girl from Law and Order: CI (Kathryn Erbe) and the dude from SVU (Chris Meloni) and also Bebe Neuwirth. She's awesome. They also have Sam Waterston and Miguel Ferrer, who both rock. It would be funny if they had the tall dude from CI (Vincent D'Onofrio) and he turned out to be a moron, since his character is some sort of genius.
My dad called me the other day and said, "You have a package...from Canada." Like that was something requiring a dun-dun-DUN! It was just the rest of Mark's present, but I thought it was weird he said it that way. I love Canada! They made You Can't Do That On Television (which we weren't supposed to watch, but did anyway) and now they make Degrassi, which I am way too old to watch, but love anyway. In fact, Shannon humors me and watches it with me and last Friday we even tried to play a Degrassi drinking game, but I think our rules were too broad because I got drunk really quickly. Anyway, Canada gave us Alan Thicke, which led to them giving us The Alan Thicke Show. They also gave us Naked News, which is thankfully completely unrelated to Alan Thicke and his show. I always enjoyed Due South and The Elephant Show was one of my favorites when I was little. I don't know why I just spent that much effort on Canada, but I hope you like Canada too.

I am not really sure of I like Canada. Not a fan of Canadian sports, although I do like their beer and wine. And Alan Thicke sort of gets on my nerves. Like he is a little slimy....

He totally is-those commercials he does for Vegas creep me out. Why would I want to go to Vegas because Alan Thicke says so? Also, I'm really glad they have him wearing a shirt while he's standing in the pool.

I watched it last night and they were all idiots. They had to dumb it down just so they wouldn't end up in the negative.
