Whoopi Goldberg's Bravo special, The Word According to Whoopi. I think that was the name of it. She was very interesting. Not very funny, but incredibly interesting nonetheless. Loved her "offensive to 'the community'" joke. That was priceless. If only I could remember it.
Kathy Griffin: Not Nicole Kidman - not the special I thought it was. I thought this was the one that talked about the awards' ceremony with Sharon Stone and Rosie O'Donnell. But this was the one about Oprah and Clay Aiken. Still hilarious, though. I nearly coughed up a lung laughing at her Ryan Seacrest story. I rack and rack my brain, but I can't for the life of me think of 1 comedian funnier than her. She is the funniest.
Part of The Daily Show, "July 16th" episode. God, that show is good. Except for those stupid "Field Correspondent" things. Someone really needs to pull the plug on those. Now.
Part of Elvira Kurt's Comedy Special on Comedy Central. The part about "instruments of torture" for kids to play with.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch - the one where Sabrina gets stuck in a computer image-altering program and ends up looking like Anna Nicole Smith.
Full House - DJ catches Stephanie listening to her telephone call and makes her paranoid.
Friends - Joey gets a bigtime soap opera gig and loses it by undermining the writers who write-in his character getting killed in an elevator / Chandler dates Julia Roberts
That '70s Show - Eric steals his mother's Christmas Toy donations to kids (with no homes?) / Fez's arranged marriage to (replacement-actress)Lori is investigated by the INS.
Law & Order - the end of the episode where the hispanic man is found not guilty of raping and cutting up the insides of women's reproductive organs because the judge found the key 1960's prior-act/offense evidence inadmissable.
Will & Grace - lots of episodes from the 3rd season: Cheaters, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Brothers-A Love Story, Mad Dogs and Average Men, Poker I Don't Even Like Her, Gypsies Tramps & Weed, Girl Trouble, Three is a Crowd Six is a Freakshow, Grace 0 Jack 2000.

South Park - Aliens took Kyle(?)'s little brother and turned cows inside out, Cartman goes to Fat Camp, and 1 other episode I can't barely remember what it was about.
Fraiser - Fraiser goes on a blind date and it shows 2 completely different outcomes for how it would have gone based on what he chose to wear, Fraiser has a bunch of Christmas parties and he tells Daphne that Niles has a crush on her.
E!'s The Soup - The Best of the Worst Commercials.
Tyra - just the part with Clay Aiken. Yep, he's gay alright.

Animaniacs - "De-Zanitized," "Temporary Insanity," the hilarious "Hello Nice Warners," and "Video Review." Video Review is a really cool episode because it's a skit that features references to almost 100 movies, plus movie characters, directors, and actors and actresses.
I made a list of 92 of the clearly see-able Video titles and references. They are, in order of basic appearence onscreen or in the dialogue:
1. The Last Boy Scout / 2. Awakenings / 3. Three Men and a Baby / 4. The Hand That Rocks the Cradle / 5. The Silence of the Lambs / 6. Bugsy / 7. Beethoven / 8. The Player / 9. The Abyss / 10. Paperhouse / 11. Rambo III / 12. Rocky V / 13. Star Trek VI (: The Undiscovered Country) / 14. Sister Act / 15. Unforgiven / 16. Phantom of the Opera / 17. Twins / 18. Hatari! / 19. Hook / 20. The Addams Family / 21. Light and Sound Brooklyn (I don't think that's a real movie, but that's exactly what the box said) / 22. Amadeus / 23. A Muppet Family Christmas / 24. Citizen Kane / 25. Singin' In the Rain / 26. The Princess Bride / 27. The Prince of Tides / 28. The Fisher King / 29. The Father of the Bride / 30. Jaws / 31. Psycho / 32. E.T. / 33. JFK / 34. Used People / 35. Cobra / 36. Pat and Mike / 37. Apocalypse Now / 38. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? / 39. Raging Bull / 40. The Godfather III / 41. Oscar / 42. Fried Green Tomatoes / 43. The Babe / 44. Lethal Weapon 2 / 45. Mystic Pizza / 46. Edward Scissorhands / 47. Top Gun / 48. Wayne's World / 49. Tom (again, your guess is as good as mine, that's what it said) / 50. Malcolm X / 51. The Mighty Ducks / 52. Duck Soup / 53. Star Wars / 54. Cape Fear / 55. City of Joy / 56. Boyz N the Hood / 57. Medicine Man / 58. Jurassic Park / 59. Evil Dead / 60. Evil Dead 2 / 61. Doctor Zhivago / 62. The Doctor / 63. Dr. Giggles / 64. Soapdish / 65. Ben-Hur / 66. The Right Stuff / 67. A River Runs Through It / 68. The Bridge on the River Kwai / 69. A Few Good Men / 70. Backdraft / 71. Taps / 72. Howard the Duck / 73. The Bodyguard / 74. Sneakers / 75. The Wizard of Oz / 76. Field of Dreams / 77. Dune / 78. Batman / 79. Thelma & Louise / 80. Bram Stoker's Dracula / 81. Heaven's Gate / 82. Ishtar / 83. 1941 / 84. Leonard Part 6 / 85. Jacob's Ladder / 86. Last of the Mohicans / 87. City Slickers / 88. Rain Man / 89. Lorenzo's Oil / 90. The Great Escape / 91. A Nightmare on Elm Street / 92. The Presidio
There were several more movies, whose boxes couldn't be read clearly enough. But one read: The Naked Ju ... That is probably a reference to the 1954 Charleton Heston film, The Naked Jungle. Another read: Shadow. That could mean anything. Or it could mean: The Shadow, the 1994 movie starring Alec Baldwin. Other boxes seemed to have the words Back, Men, and Alibi on them. I have no clue what the Alibi or Men boxes could be. But I thought Back was one of the Back to the Future movies. Could have been Backdraft though, since many of the video boxes repeated themselves in later frames / cells. Another said: Wild. Could have been Wild at Heart. I'm not sure.

The Nanny - all of seasons 1 & 2 (my roommate bought both seasons before I could)
Who's the Boss? - Sam wants to go to a Country Club party but the guy her father brings home from the grocer's won't let her date take her there because of an endangered Peeplo bird. Tony enters a pledge-a-thon to promote reading by promising to live on top of a billboard for 48 hours and gets stuck up with Angela who's afraid of heights.
Family Guy - Peter fights for custody of his kids. Horrible episode. Then, a good one (probably the show's only good episode): Stewey & Brian enlist in the army and go to Iraq.
Home Improvement - Jill insults a bald professor on Mark's videotaped documentary and she's afraid he's going to hold it against her when judging her essay. Tim promises to take Jill to an authetic Japanese leisure / romantic weekend but is just going for business reasons and tries to hide it from her.
That '70s Show - Bob's wife kicks him out of the house and he has to stay at Red and Kitty's place. Donna says "I love you" to Eric and he can't say it back without screwing up.
Mad TV - a great parody of Jerry Falwell's spineless attacks on Ellen Degeneres following her coming-out on network television. Also, a cute bit about a screwed up doll: Needy Edie. "Buy me! Buy me! Buy me! Buy me! Buy me! Buy me! Buy me! Buy me! Buy me! Call me! Call me! Call me! Call me! Call me! Call me! Call me!"
Frasier - Frasier and all his friends (not co-workers) go on a ski weekend where everyone is attracted to someone and nobody is attracted to the person who is attracted to them.
Mama's Family - Thelma hurts her back when Vinton and Naomi are having a kind of classy party and all the guests end up taking care of Thelma.
George Lopez - George becomes trustee to the trust fund of a spoiled party-girl with illegal habits and works to trick her into doing what he tells her she has to do to be mature enough to earn the money.
Roseanne - Kathy's house is robbed when she's not home and she's mad that nobody is as outraged and upset as she is.
The Jeffersons - George dreams that he's died, nobody misses him as much as he wishes they would, and he can't handle the changes in Weezy's life.
Robot Chicken - Ashton Kutcher becomes obsessed with TiVo / Michael Moore does a documentary on former Cartoon Action Heroes.
Book-TV (I don't remember what the channel is called, if I got the wrong name) - this really familiar-looking Blonde woman talked about her book (something like: Feminism, Mothers, and American Working Women ...) and how feminism hurt the role of women in the family. But she was supposed to be really hip, so she just compared feminist beliefs to statistics that proved how evil Day Care is and all that. Interesting, if very co-opted.
Lisa Lamponelli on some Comedy Central standup thing. She's ... an acquired taste, to say the least.
The Daily Show - something about O.J. Simpson, then a thing about the Dominos Pizza guy who's funding some religious college and how great a party school it would be.
VH1's The Fabulous Life of... the most disgusting and frightening thing about Celebrity Heirs. Those kids need to be locked up. NOW! Oh, and looks like Republican's have just as little control over their kids as Democrat's do - Bruce Willis's daughter is way crazier than Al Gore's son.
The New Adventures of Old Christine - the very first time I've ever seen this show. The woman Julia-Louis Dreyfuss plays thinks she's pregnant, takes a test, and gets the answer wrong thinking she's (CLIPPED for Spoiler) when she's actually (CLIPPED).
How I Met Your Mother - also the very first time I've seen a popular show, this one. Some wicked hot guy marries Alysson Hannigan from the American Pie movies and another guy tells a long story about breaking up with the girl he stole a Blue Horn for.
random pieces of: Family Feud, Jeopardy, the E! True Hollywood Story, the 700 Club, a Power 90 infomercial, Best Damn Toughman, Oprah interviewing a woman who shot her sleazy husband with a shotgun, Crossing Jordan, Flipping Out ? (that show with the hot guy with obsessive compulsive disorder who fixes up houses and sells them), that Sci-Fi channel reality show about the weirdoes trying to become Superheroes, and the E! Daily 10.

SpongeBob SquarePants - Mr. Krabs makes SpongeBob stay at the Krusty Krab until he gets a stain out of a dish.
Full House - Michelle is jealous of the hippie / yuppie couple's baby, Tony, who bonds with Uncle Jesse. Horrible episode.
Roseanne - Nancy and Arnie get married and take Dan and Roseanne to Las Vegas to see Wayne Newton. Leon's boyfriend talks him into letting him meet Leon's mother, then she goes from intolerant to overbearing and burdensome, leading to friction at work.
The Soup - that woman on that Reality Contest show with the annoying voice who screams everytime she likes a contestant's performance guest stars on the show and screams with Joel about something.
A bit of some old episode of Siskel & Ebert at the Movies.
The Nanny - "Material Fran," "The Playwright," "Here Comes the Brood," "Pilot," "Pishke Business," "Frannie's Choice," "The Nuchshlep," and "The Gym Teacher."

The Twilight Zone, episode "It's a Good Life"
The one where 6 year old boy Anthony, can do whatever he wants by just thinking of it and everyone in the town he lives in must think happy thoughts.
A really good episode, even if you already know the premise (It was parodied on the second "Treehouse of Horror" installment on the Simpsons). It works because of what it doesn't show and the acting on the part of the adults.
I would recomend it everyone. You can watch it on youtube by just searching "Twilight Zone Its a Good Life".
Trivia: A portion of Rod Serlings Video introduction is used for the video preshow at The Tower of Terror attraction.
"Tonight's episode of the Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for it's own kind of inrtoduction. This is as you may recognize is a map of the United States.
in the attraction the line is altered to "This is as you may recognize is a matinence service elevator."
