This Week's Separated At Birth (12/29 - 1/4)
* Billy Crystal looks a helluva lot like famed Hispanic actor Hector Elizondo. The winner of an Emmy in '97 for his role as Dr Phillip Watters in Chicago Hope, Elizondo can now be seen in a tv show that no one watches: Monk.
What Irritates Mr. Erzblock This Week (9/21 - 9/27)
I am deeply troubled: Who thought that Kermit the Frog would ever jump the shark? I can't blame Muppets' creator Jim Henson for rolling over in his grave at the sight of his green creation as Lady Gaga's date to the MTV VMAs. To the "Powers that be" in charge of Muppet marketing: There are better ways to keep Kermey relevant! First off, write scripts that the public is willing to throw money at, not the straight-to-DVD release, A MUPPET CHRISTMAS: LETTERS TO SANTA, that'll be out on September 29th. LAME! LAME! LAME! For those of you who choose not to pay the price of what I assume will be a piss-poor puppet production, the Muppets' latest movie will air on NBC on December 15th.
