1. Freak comment of the week.... MMM... I want your kids... . yummy...
2. Jack next season will be fighting global warming by watching ice melt for 24 hours! Be better than most seasons of 24.
3. Pamela Anderson never said they were "dating" in the interview, she just sleeps around and men won't say no. I also got the feeling that there was more than a couple and it was at least a threeway going on.
What's with the chain-locked door in the background. I've noticed it in several other TVSDs. What can be so frightening and horrible that it has to be kept behind a chain-locked door? In Nebraska.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Grrr" the geometric reciprocal of "Rggg?" Coincidence?
Yes, global warming and going green is the new celebrity "it" thing, but really why would you bitch about that? Would you rather the new cool thing be something that isn't helping all of us in the long run.

It's not the Jons you have to watch out for; it's the Johns (if, god forbid, you forget to pronounce the 'h' in their names). Many Johns belong to CESH (the Comittee for the Enunciation of Silent H's) and if you pronounce 'John' like 'Jon' in a public forum, they WILL send their SWAT team to kick your ass.
Nyneve -- "I'm curious to hear what the difference is between Jon and John
In Australia they both sound the same"
Seperated by a common language, as Churchill once said.
In the U.S. "Jon" has a distinctly European -- sometimes almost British -- modulated pronounciation, while "John" is almost always enunciated with emphasis entirely on the first syllable. Interestingly, Canadians pronounce "John" almost the same as in the U.S., but tend to inflect the "o" rather than the "h." They generally pronounce "Jon" more like Europeans than Americans. This, of course, leads to a lot of confusion when Canadians named Jon or John visit the U.S.
David -- "To answer your question withoutfeathers, I will need to ask a question.
Have you seen some of the freaks that comment here?"
Are you suggesting that some of the commenters here may be posting from behind the chain locked door?
I see your point.
BTW, correction to my earlier post (this is so embarrassing); In the sentence "They generally pronounce "Jon" more like Europeans than Americans." Of course that should have been "John" not "Jon." My bad. Sorry!
I hope I haven't left our Australian friend more confused than ever about the American pronunciation.
withoutfeathers............." I hope I haven't left our Australian friend more confused than ever about the American pronunciation."probably not, just boring him to death with these comments.

24 going green is nothing new. I notice Jack Bauer doesn't go to the bathroom for 24 hours, so clearly he's doing his own job to control emissions.

Just a typo. I distinctly heard Brigitte pronounce it Jon, not John. I listened three times with my Sennheiser headphones. She said Jon, not John.

TV Squad sent me the activation link twice. Didn't remember if I made second comment somewhere or not, so clicked.
My bad.

Wow! That's a relief. I'm more witty than I am intelligent, so I'm relieved to see that's more important. Thanks, Brigitte!

I learn so much from this vlog.
I thought in a recent analysis I had heard a reviewer say Jon Stewart's style of humor was "ageless". I realize now she said "h-less".
