Well, it is not quite that good.  After all it is shown on a regular American TV channel, not cable.  However, he does live on a beach so they are either in leave nothing to the imagination bikinis or lingerie or they are in bed with him under the sheets.

He was good in Platoon though.  Plus he's a 9/11 Truther and Henry hates them.

Enh.  You is 5 stars, Fish Rising is barely a 3.

I have heard Fish Rising... Good album, though I wouldn't call it great.

Now listening to the Jakko M. Jakszyk album, and thinking of my friend Pat!

Yes, he was in Hot Shots.

Really? Wow, i think Fish Rising is as good as You when it is at it's best, but slightly more uneven. Have to listen more to both albums, but that's how it seems to me today.

Okay guys.
Been awake for 16 and a half hours.

Go to bed?
Or go to the shop, buy some stuff with caffeine in it and stay awake long enough to start halluncinating?
I've always wanted to know what extreme sleep deprived type hallucinations were like.

He was decent as Michael J. Fox's replacement in Spin City.  He had pretty good chemistry with Heather Locklear.  Men at Work is a funny movie with him and his brother Emilio Estevez.  They are both also in Young Guns and he was good in that too.

I've just realised his character's in Two and a Half Men and Spin City are both called Charlie.   I think I remember him being in Friends as well... ouch.  Friends is the worst sitcom ever created.   His brother was extrememly well casted for Apocalypse Now, which depending on your taste in film rivals Platoon (or it might be the other way around).   I cannot stand Friends, just Seinfeld with less vibrant characters and poorer writing

I think it is sometimes about what you get used to or who you get to know.  I didn't really care for Friends at first but it grew on me after watching reruns and I got to know the characters and started to enjoy the show.  It certainly isn't a masterpiece but it was good TV.  The problem with Friends, which is similar with many shows, is that in the early episodes as they are developing characters, the characters have multi dimensions.  What ends up happening though is a certain dimension becomes associated with the character and then it becomes exaggerated in order to emphasize it.

I've seen most of Friends thanks (or not) to two of my former female housemates at University.  Even after getting to know the characters, it was still not remotely funny.

Plus Courtney Cox has to be the worst actress ever.  I watched some of Scream on Saturday night and it was appalling.

David Schmimmer is the only one that's come out of it with any decency.
