That sounds awesome. A yellow fuzz face automatically came to mind when you said that.
Do you bike? I'm not allowed because of chemo. I got the chemo that Lance didn't so his lungs weren't destroyed. If I get physical to the point that cycling require then my lungs scar even more.

Yeah man, gotta love The Lance.
No, I mean hell no I dont (cant) bike like them dudes, even if I could rock the tights. I started watching the TDF around about 5-6 years ago like a lot of people because of Lance and Im more of a fan now then ever. I love how the entire sport is so European, I mean Yellow as the color of a winner? Haha, or polka-dots? Oh man not where Im from. Anyway, back on topic...
I can honestly say Ive never seen 1 'Lost' episode.

Seriously, though, I am a huge fan of Jonny Quest. I could watch those over and over. The original Star Trek, also..
Has anyone seen Flight of the Conchords? If you are in a band, you gotta see this one! I think they have them online to watch, if you want.

I've been watching the Tour as well. It is amazing watching. I've often gotten up early to watch it in the past, although not this year.
You missed a lot then, best tour in years, drama, cheating, great stages, loose dogs crossing, like real life!
Levi Leipheimer almost pulled it of yesterday!
Sopranos
MAS*H
Batman
Cheers
Avengers
Ren & Stimpy
Samurai Jack
Fawlty Towers
Monthy Pyton
Band Of Brothers
edit:
Blackadder (how could I forget...)

Personally, I think a lotta TV out there today is pure crap. Many of the sitcoms out there are just aping Curb Your Enthuiasm. I guess acting like an obnoxious asshole passes for funny these days.
The only TV shows I go outta my way to watch are:
The Simpsons
Daily Show w/John Stewart
Colbert Report
Hockey Night In Canada
I mostly watch DVD's, right now I'm watching:
Hawaii 5-0 Season 1
Mission Impossible Season 2
Birdman & The Galaxy Trio
Getting Harvey Birdman Season 3 today.

I love Fawlty Towers. Blackadder is one of my favorite series, too. Pretty much any show I've seen with Rowan Atkinson I love--Mr. Bean, The Thin Blue Line, etc.

Lost
Strangers With Candy
Freaks and Geeks
Sweet picks! LOST is obvious, but STRANGERS WITH CANDY
and FREAK AND GEEKS are truly inspired (and relatively obscure)
picks. (And just remember: "The retarded don't rule the night.
Nobody does. Just avoid eye contact with them, or else they'll
come at you, all fists and elbows, like a whirling dervish.")
I'd also add:
Kids in the Hall
The Tick
Ren & Stimpy (first two seasons only)
Family Guy
The Simpsons (third through eighth seasons)
Futurama
The Venture Bros.
Johnny Quest (hey, if you like the Venture Bros., you HAVE to like JQ!)
Twin Peaks (THE greatest t.v. show of all time)
South Park (this show keeps getting worse and worse--in a good way!)
The Blackadder
American Gothic (the most underrated American t.v. show ever)
Picket Fences
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (glad to see I wasn't the only one!)
Spongebob Squarepants
Invader Zim
Aqua Teen Hunger Force (about as surreal as t.v. gets)
Seinfeld
The Sarah Silverman Show (totally ****ed up!)
The Daily Show (with Craig Kilborn--sorry, I just think he was better)
Max Headroom ("20 minutes into the future. . . .")
Strange Luck
Married. . . With Children
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Quantum Leap
Desperate Housewives
Xena (hey, I mean, c'mon! A killer (literally) Betty Page clone??? YOW!!!)
Hercules (good, campy fun, and from the makers of Xena!)
Police Squad
Also sprach Vincent

I don't watch too many tv shows these days. I think Falcon7 has already identified that everything is a knock-off of everything else. My favourites as a kid were ...
- Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
- Land of the Giants
- The Forest Rangers
- Adventures in Rainbow Country
- The Flinstones (Which can still be watched over and over)
P.S.
How about the old Blackadder coming up here a few times.
Any Red Dwarf fans on the board?

I just picked the complete Prisoner series boxset this afternoon, and it's amazing.

I love the books but haven't gotten around to seeing the show - yet. I hear it's really good, though.

Brilliant series
I collect quotes from it, just a few:
For the past thirteen months, Baldrick's coffee has in fact been made from mud. With dandruff as a cunning sugar substitute. Just don't ask what he's been using for the milk.
Blackadder: George, who is using the family brain cell at the moment?
George: 'My head... oh, my head... feels like the time I was initiated into the Silly Buggers Society at Cambridge. I misheard the rules and tried to push a whole aubergine up my earhole.'
I hate you English. With your boring trousers and your shiny toilet paper and your ridiculous preconceptions that Frenchmen are great lovers. I'm French and I'm hung like a baby carrot and a couple of petits pois.

sorry couldn't resist, some more:
The Hawk: "In precisely one minute, the spike will go up your nethers, the shears will cut off your ears... the axes will chop off your hands. I don't think we need to go into the attributes of the coddling grinder." (Blackadder)
Blackadder: The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but Mr Brain has long since departed, hasn't he, Perce?
Blackadder: (to Baldrick) You are last in God's great chain. Unless there's an earwig around here you'd like to victimise.
Blackadder: 'Baldrick, in the Amazonian rain forests there are tribes of Indians as yet untouched by civilisation who have developed more convincing Charlie Chaplin impressions than yours.'
Blackadder: A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn.

Jack Nance: "Don't drink the coffee! You'll never guess--there was
a FISH. . . in the perculator!" 
Tim Anderson, the guy who played "The Little Man From Another Place"
(who said the line about the gum) comes to my town of Altoona, PA,
every so often--he apparently has some friends here.
