Seventh Heaven theme song: The lyrics.

And I forgot to agree with David A on Ed and Mikes' 10$ bets. And possibly Dr. Jerome and Mike's constant rivalry. It is a great show. But I cannot watch it anymore.

Shooting Stars- This gameshow is essentially one giantic collection of running gags, all of which are great! I love Dove from Above and Rowland Cox the Sweaty Fox (lured into the studio by the promise of alcohol). And Matt Lucas as George Dawes is fantastic! EDIT- Now I think about it, I'll add: Johnny Vegas' drinking, Johnny Vegas' stupidity, Johnny Vegas' feud with Will Self, the probing questions about Ulrika Johnson's sex life and Vic Reeves' leg-rubbing for the female guests.

 However, you have to admit that Bob Mortimer's chant "She's football crazy, she's football mad, and I can't name a footballer Ulrika hasn't had!" very quickly became tiresome.

I was watching an episode of "Scooby Doo" where Fred had a line that went something like, "Well, you're in luck, because ghosts happen to be our specialty."  It was funny because they had never actually dealt with a real ghost.  It was always some disgruntled individual with severe irritability when it came to meddling kids.

Also, caricatures of Jhonen Vasquez and one of the producres or writers (Steve something) often appear when Zim goes out and about. The little squeaky sounds used during silent pauses is kind of a running gag too (to me, anyway).

TAAAA-QUIIIII-TOOOOOOOS!

Okay? I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I hate Star Trek.

I loathe it as well. But Shatner. His words are spaced out in a 70's monolouge style. Thats what all those periods we're for. I expected you to get pissed after the whole "cut back on the *...* bit." My bad.

How could we all forget about Porky's and the "Lassie" gag where she screams. That a really old one though.

I liked the old running gags on Freakazoid. Spotting Emmitt Nervend in every episode was fun.

[Reply #49 on:]

Some I've noticed on Zim Is firstly the Aninal sounds sounds used. Usually monkey or Pig sounds.

Theres also Zim's making fun of "Dibs giant head"
And The "Rocks" Girl.

I've seen her twice and she proclaims loudly in a somewhat Masculine voice that (---) Rocks------s.

I used to love that show!!! Do you remember that special episode where they had to save the world rather than take it over?

[Reply #51 on:]

No don't think I ever saw that one....did they save it....?

No. We all died.
