Men, you see, don't have shoulder angels and shoulder devils. They have Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor on one shoulder, and Frasier Crane on the other.
I wonder what happened to that guy who starred in Home Improvement. He sort of reminds me of Tim Allen, but, well, he's actually funny.
I should note that I haven't found a sitcom worth watching since these two shows left the air. Perhaps I've just been infected by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
