"The Indians in the Lobby"
Originally aired on November 21, 2001
There are so many ridiculously great episodes of The West Wing, trying to pick one out is like trying to pick out the best note in a piece by Mozart. But since it's November, I figured I'd choose the best of the show's Thanksgiving Day episodes, "The Indians in the Lobby" (and yes, fans of "Shibboleth," I love that one too, but this one has just a little bit more.)

I've been hearing about
this show for years, and now through the magical superwonders of You Tube,
we can finally see it!
Heat Vision and Jack was a comedy
in the late 90s from Ben Stiller that starred Jack Black as an astronaut (ahem) who gets superpowers after a space
accident, and fights crime with the talking motorcycle (voice of Owen Wilson), powered by the mind of his unemployed
roommate. And if that description doesn't already have you laughing, it also stars Ron Silver, "as
himself."
Funny opening from Stiller too: "Let's change cameras...as a person you admire, I'm
giving you permission to appreciate this show. I'm also offering you my personal guarantee that it's going to knock you
back onto your coal-mining asses. And that's a promise you won't be hearing from Georgie Lucas."
Who
knows if this show could have maintained itself over several episodes, but judging from the pilot, I'd certainly rather
watch this on FOX than
The Loop or
Free Ride.
