From an episode of "ALF", where the alien and the boy were watching TV: Boy: Do you get "Sesame street" where you come from? ALF: No, and I don't "get it" here, either. >You'd learn a fair bit about American culture by watching NYPD Blue that >you're not going to get from The Simpsons, Star Trek, documentaries or >children's television. I suppose the same thing could also be said for shows such as "Oz", "The Sopranos", and "Sex and the City", to name a few that I've never watched . . . >You might derive some dark amusement, actually, from the episode where >Andy Sippowicz keeps asking the question, "What does 'Pop Goes The >Weasel' mean?" Dare I ask what it means? (And can it be worse than what I am thinking might be the answer, given the nature of the show and the character?) -- Ronn! :)
