Peter Potamus

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is the funniest animated show on television today, including Family Guy and Futurama. It's probably the funniest show on TV, period. I can't be sure, since there are roughly 477 sitcoms airing that I won't watch on the basis that they're sitcoms, and all sitcoms are derivative and predictable and embarrassingly unfunny. The only show that can even come close is Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which, not at all coincidentally, is also produced and aired by [adult swim].

In other news, never buy smokes at a bar. Four bucks for a pack of Turkish Gold is outright larceny. Unless it's the kind of bar that runs illicit slot machines behind a curtained door in the corner and sells weed behind an unmarked back door through the bartender. In that case, you're in a redneck bar and four bucks is an outright bargain. Another sign that you're in a good redneck bar: The jukebox goes from Willie Nelson to Stevie Ray Vaughan to the Beatles to Kid Rock to Parliament to Incubus to Lorretta Lynn to Creed to the Eagles. And there's no George Strait. My kind of dive.
