Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I am not talking about my lack of posts. What I am talking about is a revelation I had the other day when I tried to put my finger on what I like about certain TV shows. I was trying to figure out why shows like (prepare for long list): Clerks the animated series, Futurama, Dilbert, Andy Barker P.I., Reaper, Office, etc. appeal to me. At first it seemed that nothing connected all these shows. They all have various styles of humor and are all shot differently, but there was one thing that linked them all together. The thing that linked them all was the lack of a laugh track. I never noticed it before now but I hate laugh tracks. I don't know if it is that I know it is fake, or if I feel insulted that they are telling me that a certain joke was funny and I should laugh. Either way I instantly like any show that does not use a laugh track.

In other news related only to me (the best kind), I started playing Trauma Center: Under the Knife, and in the time it takes to read the title a patient could die. The game is fun but a little challenging. I don't know if the game is really difficult or I am just showing of my DS newbness. I am almost done the second chapter and I have hit my second wall (a surgery that takes more than three tries).

Not much else to say, so I won't.
