Vegging out

Before Greg left on his trip, he took another look through the Phillies yearbook. I'll be out and about today, so I may miss some of the Brett Myers-Ted Lilly match-up. If something wonderful happens, like the Phillies manage to beat the Cubs, maybe I'll check in later. In the meantime, join these couch potatoes for some TV watching.

While the Phillies may disagree which channel to watch, they all love their TV. Next up in our review of personal yearbook answers is the Phils' favorite TV shows growing up.

Topping the list was El Chavo del Ocho, The Kid from the (apartment no.) Eight, selected by Fabio Castro, Francisco Rosario and Carlos Ruiz. J.C. Romero picked El Chapulin Colorado.

The only sports show mentioned was Baseball Tonight by Kyle Kendrick. That's one of the president's favorite shows, too. {I hope that's the only thing they have in common.}

There's some cheese: Geoff Jenkins, like Christine, was a fan of Beverly Hills, 90210. Mike Zagurski opted for Saved by the Bell, and Clay Condrey liked the A-Team.

There weren't too many game shows: Family Feud by Ryan Madson and the Price is Right by Kris Benson.

Some liked cartoons: J.D. Durbin picked Transformers, along with Knight Rider; Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth liked G.I. Joe, and Adam Eaton and Chris Snelling picked my favorite, The Simpsons. Greg Dobbs liked all Saturday morning cartoons.

Some choices seemed obvious: Brett Myers picked Married... With Children; the Phillie Phanatic picked the Three Stooges; and Jamie Moyer liked Hawaii Five-O and Hogan's Heroes. Others left me scratching my head: Pat Burrell's favorite was What's Happening!! and Chase Utley liked Three's Company. So Taguchi picked Power Rangers (they originated in Japan, he noted).

Of course there were lots of classics: Cheers by Brad Lidge; Friends by Cole Hamels; Happy Days by Rudy Seanez; The Cosby Show by Ryan Howard and Eric Bruntlett; and The Jeffersons by Tom Gordon.

The only reader on the team? Pedro Feliz. That's my conclusion because he was the only one without an answer.
