Is that a Golden Globe in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Strange but true: despite its inherent greatness, "Perfect Strangers" never won a Golden Globe for best comedy. However, according to Wikipedia, "Golden Girls" won three straight from 1986 to 1988. Golden Globes? "Golden Girls?" Coincidence ... I think not.

More on the wild and wacky antics of Balki Bartokomous and his stuffed sheep, Dmitri, later. But for now, this wouldn't be a proper TV blog without listing the Globe nominees from today. There isn't a whole lot of uproar over the choices -- I mean, it's a TV awards show, not a nativity scene at Green Bay's City Hall ... oh SNAP! -- but Ken Tucker over at Entertainment Weekly seems to be wholly unimpressed by the inclusion of "Pushing Daisies."

Those are fighting words, Ken. Take it back! You'll be getting a pie at your door in the coming days, and trust me, you won't want to eat what's inside ...

And just because Adam tortured me by posting the "Perfect Strangers" theme -- which regrettably, stayed in my head all day -- I will fight fire with fire.

That's right, Reinhard. Watch the clip. Oh, it burns! It BURNS!
