I did think about Mork but didn't add it to the list-don't know why.


Whenever I think about Benson, this always comes to my mind:

That was awesome.


I love Benson

There are so many characters I like.  I don't know that I could pick just one as a favorite.  Sophia from the Golden Girls is close, though.

Just because he said he changed doesn't mean people are going to start liking him again.  He said some things that people find unforgivable.

My disdain for the actor has completely obliterated my love for the character.

It's not the case for every actor/character but this is one ill never let go of.

Me either but I suspect, if it involves Jerry and the ass-wipe in a car drinking coffee and talking about the incident, &  ass-wipe comes across 10x more sincere than he was on letterman then it still wouldn't be enough to win me back as a fan.

I have seen that before. My personal feeling is this: He was more concerned how that night broke him up, affected him...blablabla.. It's all about how it affected him. "It was a selfish response" is what he said.


Wrong. It's not the response. It's about an attitude change so that you don't think of that kind of response. Can't say for sure he has changed. Just my opinion.

What warped said. It was more about how what he said impacted him personally not about how he hurt people. And by the way, those words don't just come out of nowhere. You have to hold them in your heart to be able to access them so clearly.

If anything that video did nothing but remind me how much I hate Michael Richards. I can literally feel my blood boiling as it courses thru my veins  >:(

I didn't find that sugar ray Leonard but funny either.

Hey I know a black guy he's my friend watch.
