I can't decide. My Canadian roots say TPB, but this last season was a bit brief and dissapointing, and looking at Jamie Presley vs. Lucy (who taught in Korea incidentally) kind of raises some issues. I like both of them for different reasons, but all in all MNIE has such a cool soundtrack and is so tightly written and non-stop laughs. But I think if Ricki and Julian ever crossed paths with Randy and Earl, that the TPB would come out on top.

Isn't "my na" redundant?

Don't know what "my na" is.

Googled MNIE and got this,

Anyhow, TPB was good for the first 2 seasons, but I really didn't like the last 2.

A similar show in America is called "Reno 911!" and is quite good.

The best show, of course, is Entourage. Wow!

Entourage is a cool show. Great music on it, too.

It was pretty good for the middle two seasons as well.

Agreed. Conky was hilarious. I found seasons 5 and 6 flat and, back to the OP, 6 was WAY too short. Lazy bastards focusing on their movie and lettin a brutha down.

I was indifferent to them.

I think the show is quite inflexible and the dominant storyline is getting old.

I agree. Especially as it seems they have put little thought into new ideas. Maybe you're right and due to the nature of the show they are limited in how they can expand or maybe they just ran out of ideas. Shame.

Sorry, what was this thread about again?

I got distracted.



Shocked

Is that for real? Or is it a Photoshop job?

Not too sure the story behind this or if these girls were trying to send a message.

yeah those pics are as real as rain, except for the Mao eyes bugging out of course. when i saw those pics i couldnt resist photoshopping and making a GIF to promote the olympics. the gif is small but the look on one of the guards faces say it all. i only hope these girls do the same thing again in summer wearing tube tops. i hope girls do this all over the world in front of various monuments.........the taj mahal for instance. a muslim and a hindu girl. i'm guessing a republican girl and an african american democrat in front of Mt. Rushmore wouldnt make many headlines?
