Mombot’s counterpart in Real Life absolutely loves the television series Bones. Every time I go over to my parents’ house, the show’s either playing live on her television, or it’s playing from a deep Bones archive she keeps on her DVR. I’m not sure what it is about the show that she likes so much, but I’m glad she has a show she can embrace at that level. I tried to get her to watch Angel, thinking she might be able to transition her love for David Boreanaz’s FBI character to his bloodsucking one, but it didn’t take.
I’m not sure there’s a show that I share my mom’s level of enthusiasm for, at least since Battlestar Galactica and The Sopranos left the airwaves. I think the only thing that comes close is Fringe right now and I’m way behind on that. Any suggestions for good, current TV? I know I’m going to get a lot of Doctor Who suggestions, but I’m still woefully behind on that too, and refuse to watch any new episodes ’til I catch up on the past several seasons. Extremely excited for the debut of Game of Thrones later this month on HBO, so there’s that. The novel the series is based on is a modern classic, so it has a lot to live up to.
My mom’s like that about Bones too. I’m getting her to be like that about Babaylon 5, then teasing her by taking it away with me again everytime. Muahaha.
Lol! Poor ‘bot! And great timing on Dadbot’s part!
Popbot, rather. See: above re not getting enough sleep and typing too fast…
glad to hear your mom’s obsessed with Bones, too, T! my mom’s a big fan of Babylon 5 and we used to watch it together when it first aired. she’s a Boxleitner fan (and a science fiction fan) so she was destined to like it.
We haven’t gotten to the Boxleitner years yet, but she’s an old Star Trek fan, so the episode when Bester first showed up was the one when she truly became hooked.
yeah! Chekov… err, Bester’s awesome!
“A piñata, huh? So, you think of me as something bright and cheerful, full of toys and candy for young children? Thank you! That makes me feel much better about our relationship.”
He gets some of the wittier quotes, and he’s a character I love to hate. What could be better? 😀 The Comicon I plan to make, the Mid-Ohio one, has him and Claudia Christian as guests. I think I may have to pull out my stalking cap…
Pavel Androvich Chekov. Who is afraid of bats. Because kids hazed him as a kid in the intergalactic boy scout equivalent….What?
He was my favorite character and I’m still in love with him! He kissed me at my first Trek Convention! *le sigh* And his son was Boner on Growing Pains…Crap my Nerd is showing!
oOoh… Claudia Christian you say, Tiana!? what’s she been up to lately – i haven’t seen her in a loooong time! she was too awesome. i may have to join you in your stalking endeavors. ;D
what!? you got kissed by Chekov/Bester, Pixie! that’s pretty awesome. and yeah, was sad to hear about Andrew Koenig last year. RIP.
Please do! I’ll be a stranger in a strange land, and could use a familiar face nearby. 😉 Already have half of the ticket price saved up, muahaha.
Of late, she’s been working on a graphic novel about Romans in space. Quite interesting, and educational; the main character has her own Facebook fanpage and posts Latin quotes every day. I’m learning a lot!
Gotta love B5, probably my fav sci fi show of all time, got em all on disc and go through them about once a year or two
yeah, B5’s in my all-time faves, too, Insadragon! been at least a couple years since i’ve gone through the entire series from beginning to end, tho. i should remedy that. 🙂
okay, i think i’ve run out of adjectives to express my astonishment at your herculean feats of consecutive Firstings, Tiana! you are now the record holder for most Firstings by a JEFbot reader ever! i think i’m going to have to give you a prize for that. hmmm…
while i think about that, wear these never-before-worn, record-setting Shades of Firsting!
😎
*happy little dance* I have done what I set out to do.
*goes to the podium* Ahem…I would like to thank, first of all, the creator of this strip, Jeff, for providing something I’m enthusiastic enough to fight for the Shades of Firsting over. Secondly, big thanks and hugs to all the members of the Harem and the supporting Mancubs, for making this award possible in the first place. And thirdly…is there a way to make these into a tiara?!
Lol! Ok, I promise I’ll back off the firsting for a while, now that I’m the current record holder. Until someone else begins a serious contention for the place…
i have a feeling your record’s gonna hold for a loooOooong time, T! congrats!
Miss Tiana you look loverly in this pic BTW!
Thanks, darling! The Theatre Department Head was taking headshots for all the actors in Winter’s Tale, and I like how mine turned out, so it’s my new picture.
i concur w/ Pixie – great new pic, Tiana!
Timing is everything.
Which is why I get the invisible shades of seconding, right?
heheh. totally, Sarah W! enjoy:
Um, ‘bot, you certainly wont get your asking price if you break/gnaw on it. There’s no way you can pass off tooth-marks as a design feature.
What a wonderful moment for Popbot to decide to get interested in technology. Typical. *rolls eyes*
Happy birthday for tomorrow! (I am remembering this right, aren’t I? Pulled another all-nighter so my brain’s not functioning at optimum capacity)
yes, let’s hope bot was in control enough to not leave any teeth marks on his iPad, AdM! though as a “design feature” that might be kinda cool. 😉
Popbot’s funny that way – much like his Real Life counterpart, he will suddenly become obsessed with something and have to have it. it happened with his HDTV and most recently, his phone, which i’ll be covering in Friday’s strip!
yep! my birfday’s on wednesday! 😀
Woo! *early birthday hugs & kisses & cuddles & smooches* I hope you have a really great day & celebrate in spectacular style. ^_^
gracias, AdM! :”-)
Worst Rip-off… EVER!
I like the teeth tho
me too, skinnah! i’ve never actually bitten my iPad before, but the next time i get crazy frustrated with something and i happen to have my iPad in hand, i think i’m gonna have to give it a bite. 😉
Whoa! Teeth marks will reduce the value of that piece of–I mean of that fine antique.
Although I never understood Deschanel as sex object (let’s face it–she’s weird-looking), but Bones jumped the shark when they decided to drop the sexual tension between Booth and Bones.
heheh. yes, let’s hope jefbot has the presence of mind not to bite too hard into that aluminum and glass, Chaucer!
and i thought Emily Deschanel was kinda weird looking when i first saw her, too, but now that i’ve seen her more frequently (like, every time i go over to my parents’ house), i think she’s quite beautiful. and since i don’t follow the series, i can’t comment on the dropping of sexual tension, but isn’t there a chance Bones and Booth could still get together? maybe Mombot would know. heheh.
Hmm. The problem with “Doctor Who” is that the fans who’ve been fans throughout the “wilderness years” (between 1988 and 2005) look at the newcomers with a mix of “great, you made it” and “you’re not a *real* fan”. Trust me, I’ve seen this in action at conventions. The new shows *are* very good (most of them).
I don’t think there’s any other show on the air right now which lends itself to the level of fan excitement of a B5 or BSG or Firefly. I mean, I’m up to date on Fringe and it’s a good show but, for me, it can be hit and miss. I’ll be curious to hear others’ suggestions, too.
i’ve been exposed to what you’re talking about with Who fans (and many fanboys/girls in general), Mendur, but luckily, most of my Who friends are just like, “you gotta watch this immediately!” and are just excited for me to get into it. hopefully i’ll have time to watch more episodes soon.
yeah, there are shows i like right now, even those i like a lot, but nothing that gets me crazy excited. i have a feeling Game of Thrones could change that. looking forward to new True Blood episodes.
And the Popbot strikes again… at exactly the wrong moment.
but maybe Mombot will still buy it so each of them can have one?
yeah, Popbot could not have “popped” out at a less opportune time for jefbot, DJ. heheh. and it’s totally possible Mombot might want her own iPad in the future (depending on how much she and Popbot use the one they have.) we’ll see if jefbot ends up selling his before then or not.
Advance Happy Birthday, JefBot!!! More blessings and millions of backlinks to come…Hope I can catch up with my favorite television cable series this coming weekend.Quite busy with my children’s activities these past weeks.
thanks for the advance happy birthday wishes, Anne! i had a good one, so your wishes were effective, it seems. 😀
(incidentally, my sister installed some double curtain rods in my apartment just a couple months ago! love ’em.)
HAHA..darnit, foiled again!! Darn those tech savvy parents! haha
Ok..tv shows…there’s this new one on Fox on Friday nights at 8 called Chaos about CIA agents. They’re a super special secret smart team…blah blah blah…has potential. And I’m pretty excited about the new Christian Slater show Breaking In, starts this Wednesday at 9:30 (ok these are my eastern times, I don’t know what they are for you lol) But that show looks funny…alot better than Mr Slaters last foray into tv.
Let’s see my favorite shows have to be Big Bang Theory ( Thursdays), Modern Family (Wednesdays), and of course, the Sunday toon-a-thon on Fox, Family Guy, American Dad, Bob’s Burgers, Cleveland Show, Simpsons (Which is getting a bit more risque’ in it’s old age)
But, I must say, I have never ever watched any of those hour long drama type shows…not my thang…Except True Blood, and I’m also looking forward to the Game of Thrones…hmm I’ve babbled too much…have a good one everybody!
Oh oh ! What about The Borgias? I am totally going to go home tonight and catch up on the two episodes I’ve missed. Looks AWESOME! They were the inspiration for The Godfather. THE GODFATHER!!!! And they were Spanish!
YEAH I need to watch this!
let me know what you thought of The Borgias, Pixie. been hearing mixed.
So far I am pretty darned impressed! Hello Jeremy IRONS!!! Did I mention I kinda like him?
Mmm, who doesn’t?! That man has a VTMK – Voice To Melt Knickers…
my mom was just telling me she wanted to watch that show Chaos, ESQ! funny, i’d never even heard of it before. (but i haven’t been able to watch much tv lately. poo.)
it seems i should totally be into Big Bang Theory but i only ever catch it when Wil’s on. my sister (Lor) watches it, though, and is always recommending it. yeah – i forgot about Modern Family. that show’s so well written and funny. probably my favorite comedy on tv when i can catch it.
yes: definitely looking forward to more True Blood and Game of Thrones could be completely epic if they do it right. 😀
Goooooooood MORNING JefBoteers!!!!
Oh this one is priceless! My parents do the same thing. It’s like when my Mom gets a new digital camera or piece of hardware for her computer and then calls me and says…How do I make it (insert function here)? I have no clue Mother. It’s at your house! Read the MANUAL!
And the Good Things just keep coming! Let’s just say, La Pixie is gonna be uber busy really soon!
More updates as they happen.
Tomorrow, there should be massive messages on here, FB and Twitter (I don’t Twit) wishing the Exhaulted One a Very Happy.
have i told you how much i love your “jefboteer” greeting, Pixie? if not: i love it! heheh.
ha! my mom just waits ’til i’m at her house before she has me fix a computer problem or walk her through a setting on a gadget. i think me explaining it to her over the phone is as frustrating for her as it is for me!
and thanks for the birfday messages yesterday!!! 😀
We need some sort of hat or something….Like mickey ears…
My husband and I watch Big Bang Theory, Fringe, Bones, Merlin and are awaiting the Song of Fire and Ice series. I just finished watching the first 3 seasons of Eureka, a weird kind of humorous little syfy show.
i’m amazed at how long Eureka has lasted, Anonymouse! must be good and have a fanbase for that to happen. i’d watch it just for Felicia and Wil, but there’s no way i can catch up on that many episodes right now. (i already have my work cut out for me catching up on Doctor Who!) i take it watching those three seasons was worth it?
This shows that even Mom-bot can be tricked, but by a mysterious twist of fate she was pointed the right direction.
Nice try bot, keep on trying and don’t give up : )
yeah, looks like Mombot’s judgment can be clouded, especially when it comes to Bones, nr2! but yes, the universe looked favorably on her and frowned on bot in this case. 😉
Meh… of doom…
*crawls back to bed to sleep with cats*
P.S. Happy b-day, Jeff. Thanks for everything…
zzZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZ…
Oh great Empress! You return to us! *big hugs* Sleep well…so glad you’re feeling a little better….*fusses with covers*
*cuddles of doom*
Thank you. MIssed you all so much is not even funny to remember.
*meh of doom*
zzzZZzzZZZZzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzz…
My Empress of doom, oh I have missed you so much, Im so happy you are back, The world have been a sad place for a minion without his beloved empress, the world needs its fair share of doom. 😀
Soooo happy 🙂 🙂 🙂
*squirts Eddie with a water gun* DOWN! Down, bad minion BAD. No humping the Empress’ leg! She needs her nigh nights leave her be.
Yes, listen to Pixie or I’ll be forced to bring out the shovel and a hose.
*turns his head towards the squirt gun, flame coming out of his eye sockets*
No one shall stand between me and my Empress!
*slowly with eerie steadiness walks to Pixie and Fijiman, smiling wickedly, eyes still wildly ablaze. His hand slowly reaching the water gun and crushing it under his fingers*
And now let’s have cookies, courtesy of cookie ninja.
*smiles as if nothing has happened*
Really? *insert eye roll here* Cause yes, we are going to let Minions be more powerful than Harem Members…Cause apparently we are your pets? Seriously?
yes
Eddie… don’t make me slap you. I’m not completely fine to go along with re-training you.
*meh of doom*
zzZzzZZzzzzzzZZzzzZzZZzZzZZzzzZZzz…
Drama queen.
*takes a lit lighter and puts it dangerously close to Maryz’s cards*
think before you speak or my eyes wouldn’t be the only thing ablaze today, worm
*Knocks lighter out of Eddie’s hand with shovel*CALM DOWN EDDIE! I know you’re extremely excited about Sonitan being back, but you are being a little too hyper.
*pats minion of doom*
I missed thee as well.
*meh of doom*
Welcome back, Sonitan!
Thank you. Is wonderful to be back.
*meh of doom*
zzZZzZzZZZZzZZZZZzzZZZzzzz…
Nena! It’s about time you got back! We missed you so! Hurray for being home!
*cuddles with Pixie*
I missed you all as well. Hospitals are very boring (or so they seemed the few times I was actually awake).
*meh of doom*
*snuggles of DOOM* FEAR IT!!!!
I actualy got tears im my eyes from happiness. Im not kidding.
You have been sorely missed my adored goth doomgiver. Dont scare us like that again.
*Sends healing wibes…*
In all honestly, it wasn’t my intention to scare you. Such is life, I guess. Thanks for the good wishes. I’m getting there, I promise.
*meh of doom*
Welcome back, little doomy!
Hope you are feeling great really soon, little girly.
Thanks!
zzzZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzz… (of doom, of course).
*Gentle glomp of welcome backness*
Glad to see you’re up and about, kind of…
Feel better, kiddo!!
Awww, thank you, StepMommy.
Still feeling kinda “weird”, but at least I got back.
*meh of doom*
HOLY $#%*! You’re back! Today is a very joyous occasion! I hope you’re felling more like your old evil self now. It was not nearly as interesting without you here to spread your evil awesomeness. 😀
I also hope that you have been able to catch up on the comic.
Working on that, Fijiman.
Fear the meh of doom.
*crawls back to bed*
ah, wilkommen die Kaiserin des Untergangs 🙂
Vielen Dank.
*meh of doom*
zzzzZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzz…
was an amazing birthday gift which warmed my heart seeing you back on the site, Sonitan! take all the time you need to rest and heal up so we can see more of you here, soon. 🙂
*gently cuddles*
Hey there, our gorgeous goth girl.
Good to have you back (which my fingers wanted to type as “bad”, apparently – they know you so well… erm, not in a naughty way, honest).
Take it easy, get lots of rest & get well soon. You’ll be back to your diabolical plans of doom in no time at all.
Love you, pretty.
When your feeling better Sonitan I have poisoned the administrator of the fbi and the cia, cleared the records of your previous attempts of world domination and have had the base cleaned and minions starting the physical fitness training. All will be ready when you return.
*gentlel hugs* welcome back
So close and then wham, so far.
yep, looks like jefbot keeps getting the football pulled away from his kick, ZachLight. 😉
I have pretty much given up on T.V I mostly just watch animations on Newgrounds or youtube, or pick up a movie.
The large pile of comics/manga and video games are my perfered time wasters.
(continuation of my last statement)
If you are going to try Dr. Who, then you are going to have a hard time going all the way back, from what I know the first line up they had was lost in a fire a long time ago.
…Depends on which “beginning” you’re talking about. I have a DVD copy of the First Doctor’s first TV episode. That’s about as old school as you can get.
The first Dr.Who was a old man who looked to be in the 70’s each time getting a few years younger after he is killed off (he lost a LOT of years after his first death, but yea. But there are a few actors that were older then the last from what I have heard about Cannon story says each time he gets a bit younger every time he dies and is ‘reborn’.). As far as I am aware a lot of that first lineup was destoryed.
There’s not much of the Second Doctor left on film, though apparently there’s some radio remakes of the original TV episodes with appropriate narration. If I had a time machine, I’d go back and save all the original episodes on whatever the recording devices of the time were, then bring them back safely to this time. But I suspect the Doctor would squish me for even thinking like that. *twinkle* But there’s quite a few of the Third Doctor, and I think all or at least most of the Fourth Doctor. By then, they knew they had a cash cow on their hands and saved all the episodes instead of recording over the tapes like they did with some of the First Doctor and most of the Second Doctor.
Sadly, problems in the BBC archives do mean that much of the original footage was lost. If you used the TARDIS to recover them, you’d make a lot of Whovians very happy (and make a nice profit, if you chose to sell copies).
i’m not going back very far in the Doctor Who catalog, Zolen, only to the Eccleston season (the ninth Doctor) but sad to hear about all those early seasons being destroyed. horrible. yes, we need to get Tiana in a TARDIS, pronto!
even though i don’t have as much time to watch as before, i haven’t quite given up on TV just yet as it seems there’s a lot of quality stuff out there (and i need to at least be familiar with what’s going on, being an actor and all.) but yes, comics/manga and videogames (and JEFbot, mostly) definitely compete for my tv time more than ever these days.
NOOOOOO! That sucks. You had her right where you wanted her!
I felt the sting in this strip for sure! Looks like you just might have to buy the new one and keep the old one as a collectors item!
hey, might *you* wanna buy a slightly used gen-1 iPad in like-new condition, Funnyshaffer? 😉
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
*gasp*
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i think you might be enjoying jefbot’s misfortune a little too much, TCG, but i’m digging that you got such a kick out of the strip. ;D
hey jeff, i’m ur new fan!!! love these strips really makes my day. as for tv shows, my brothers and i are absolutely crazy about big bang theory and modern family, and recently a colleague’s addiction for merlin has caught up to my neighbors…scary
Welcome Aboard! Have some cookies and chocolate milk and hugs!
thnx pixie.those are my faves!!!
like Pixie said: welcome aboard, Aki! glad you’re loving the strip! (and give those cookies a try – they’re delish.)
agreed: Modern Family is awesome. the only thing keeping me from watching BBT is that i don’t want to accidentally steal any ideas or be influenced by what they’re doing, us both having “geeky” themes and all. and i might have to give Merlin a try since you and a couple other readers have mentioned it. i did watch Camelot at a friend’s place the other night, and thought it had potential. not sure if i’ll keep watching it, though.
glad you’re here and hope to see your feedback in future comments! 😀
thanks dude! happy birthday by the way (^3^)/ sorry its late since the time zone here is different from hollywood
The only shows I usually watch are comedies (besides Dr. Who) like Community and Big Bang Theory (and Mock the Week when they get around to making seasons of it). My boyfriend is in love with Warehouse 13 and Burn Notice. I find Warehouse 13 a bit too campy and not compelling enough plot- and character-wise, and as for Burn Notice… apparently I’m just not into spies doing super-badass things (a personal failing, no doubt).
That’s what we’re watching here.
I love Burn Notice. Another good show is Leverage (which I got my Mom addicted to, hehehehe) and Life. Unfortunately, Life only ran two seasons. But Leverage is still going, last I heard! Oh, and of course Castle. Nathan Fillion being slightly bumbling while helping solve murders and being a big kid with his “daughter”; classic!
Castle! <3 <3 <3
I love Nathan Fillion! I made fan-girl squee noises when he wore the "space cowboy" outfit & they did a nod to Firefly in one episode. I think the role really suits him, seems like he has a lot of fun with the whole thing & it really comes through in the show. ^_^
White Collar.
*happy meh of doom*
IF it had a LOT more REALISTIC WHUMP on Neal Caffrey then I would be SO much happier ;3
i just started watching Community like, 3-4 episodes ago, based on excellent word-of-mouth from my friends, Sharra. (also based on Yvette Nicole Brown teaching an acting class i was in a couple years back and i wanted to see her work.) i’ve enjoyed it so far, but have yet to watch the infamous “paintball” episode. i keep hearing about that thing through various geek channels. 🙂
never watched Warehouse 13 or Burn Notice but i think Mombot watches both of those. or at least used to.
Burn Notice is worth at least a look-see, what with a crazy Irish lady always wanting to blow things up and Bruce Campbell as the washed-up ex-spy always ragging on the main character.
My family is hooked on House. God help me if my family doctor is like him. lol
The episodes are very formulaic but I’ve found the few I’ve seen to be very entertaining, none-the-less. Plus, Hugh Laurie ^_^ How could anyone not love him? *cries* Give him back, America!
ha! yeah, it seems House is one of those “comfort food” shows, AdM, where viewers know what to expect about the plot and characters, and they just like the ride.
and funny how big Hugh Laurie has gotten over here in the States – i always thought his partner in Jeeves and Wooster, Stephen Fry, would blow up here but it hasn’t happened quite yet (beyond certain niches who absolutely adore him.) both are such amazingly talented actors.
i know a lot of people who love House, Whoop. even people who i didn’t think would like that kind of show. i love Hugh Laurie (especially from his BBC stuff) but never started watching the show for whatever reason. maybe someday i’ll start watching from the first season and get addicted. 🙂
And he almost had Mombot sold. D’oh! 🙂
ha! if i ever hear Mombot’s RL counterpart say “D’oh!” i’m sure i’ll dramatically spit out whatever i was drinking/eating at the moment, Insectoid! 😀
Big bang Theory would be right up your alley – I got hooked in season 3, and had to rent the other seasons to catch up – but it is a scream – tech jokes and acting jokes galore, gaming references – so totally geeked out! And poking fun at current culture, along the lines of Psych (another you might want to check out). Big Bang Theory is the only sit com really worth watching regularly, anymore.
I got into The Big Bang Theory fairly late as my ex wouldn’t let me watch it. Seriously. He didn’t like it ’cause he didn’t think any people were actually like that… As a geek & a lover of geeks, I call BS.
Plus, he was like a less-likeable Sheldon. I kid you not.
Eurgh, emotionally abusive relationships FTL.
Anyway, my point is, I love it & I appreciate it a little bit more as one of the freedoms I’ve won since leaving the idiot. ^_^
ha! i love that last sentence, AdM. 🙂
Thanks. Me too. ^_^
BBT gets recommended to me all the time, Cassidy Summer, mostly from people writing or telling me that something happened in it that reminded them of JEFbot. i think for that reason, it’s important i stay away from it, so i don’t get influenced by the show and then have something from BBT appear in the strip. even though jefbot’s beef with Wil Wheaton came up over a year before Sheldon’s beef with him was in BBT i still get people saying that i must have gotten that idea from the show, which is kinda frustrating.
that said, if Wil’s on the show, i’ll watch it, to support him and also so i don’t match what they’re doing with the relationship between Sheldon and Evil Wil.
All my favorites shows are cartoons – Generator REX, Sym-Bionic Titan and Regular Show. Although Castle is pretty entertaining. Haven’t gotten into any other series since LOST and Ugly Betty were cancelled. Game of Thrones looks interesting – it has the guy from LOTR, so that’s a plus.
And Happy Early B-Day Jefbot!
I gotta second the suggestion of castle, esp with all the firefly references they semi sneak in lol
yeah, this talk of Firefly references have taken me over the top, Insadragon. i’ll at least have to track those episodes down.
so many of you are recommending Castle that i might just have to give it a try, Angela! i think Nathan Fillion’s awesome but i’m not really into crime shows. if it’s a little different, though (and with NF’s involvement it must be, right?), i’ll check it out.
WHHHYYYYYYY????! Why couldntr Popbot show a minute later and mombot demand return fee from Jefbot with him demanding new doohickey??? Why?
heheh. i think jefbot would’ve just bolted with Mombot’s check if he had it in-hand when Popbot showed up, Maryz!
How far behind on Doctor Who are you?
i started with the Eccleston season, Psynapse, and i believe the last episode i watched was the one where the Doctor and Rose find the “Metaltron” in that underground museum.
Wow so you’re barely halfway through Series 1 of the new stuff….
There is only one answer, re. what to watch. Catch up with Dr Who! If you don’t, the you won’t get the chance to see the wonderful Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, possibly the sexiest of the assistants EVER. And I include Adric in that 🙂
Dr Who. You know it is the only REAL answer.
Or Haven
agreed, Gaz Hunter! Doctor Who is the only series i’m bothering to go back and catch up with at the moment, and i’m thoroughly enjoying it when i have time to watch. and as long as Karen Gillan’s character shows up in episodes after the Eccleston season, i’ll get the chance to see who you’re talking about!
*nodnod* Amy Pond is the companion to the 11th Doctor (Matt Smith). Beautiful Scottish redhead… I would do bad things to that woman…
Ha. Half of the joy of your strip is the headline you choose to go with your strip. It makes for a great extra punchline!
Incientally, we’re running a comment drive over at SubCulture — please stop on by and feed the comment kitty 😉
thanks for mentioning the titles, Stan! i do like to come up with those as an extra punchline to the strip. 🙂
I would recommend Lie to Me. It has Tim Roth in it and he’s a bad ass. It just finished the third season and is awesome.
thanks for the recommendation, Noah. Tim Roth is such a great actor. might have to check that one out.
Ha! Nice try JB.
heheh. yep, can’t blame him for trying, Anime fan. 🙂
Did someone say HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF??
IS it your birthday today, Mister???
Hope you have a fantabulous one!!!!!
{{BIRTHDAY HUGS}}
Mana mamita ! *makes the tildy over the N*
yeah, someone mentioned it…and then I jumped on it, and didn’t realize it was the 6th (today) … eh…
thanks for the birthday hugs, ESQ! that’s one gift i’ll never turn down!!! 😀
Worst. Timing. Ever. Poor jefbot, he might just go into nerd rage… I recognize those crazy eyes…
if you see bot’s pupils turn red – run for it, steve! >:)
when does the new BSG series premier?
i’m not sure, acolyte. i think it’s supposed to come out at the end of this year. i never watched Caprica (i’ve heard such mixed on it from friends – some calling it brilliant, some calling it trash) but hoping to go through that series before Blood and Chrome airs. you see Caprica? thoughts?
Hahaha! Jefbot’s face in the last panel is so freaking hilarious! I personally have no idea what show they are talking about here because I do not watch but only a little bit of TV these days. I’ve recently been watching Firefly, which is AWESOME. Although I wasn’t able to watch the most recent episode because my brother just loves to annoy me. BP
once i get caught up on Doctor Who i think i’m gonna watch through Firefly and then Serenity again, Fijiman. good stuff!
and glad you got a kick out of jefbot’s face in that last panel! i had his frustrated look in my mind when i wrote the strip, so i’m happy to see it translated to the page well. 😀
Not doing so well, so I’m just going to comment on the awesomeness of the strip and read comments later… like, probably next week….
heh, awesome timing popbot. awesome…. lol I hope mombot will still buy it from jefbot so that she can have one too 😉
*hugs and kisses*
*gentle cuddles & kisses & general good thoughts*
Whether it’s illness or not-so-good things, I hope the situation improves & everything’s all good soon.
like Pixie and AdM here, i too send good thoughts and well wishes for whatever you’re going through, kypress. hope you’re feeling better.
and yes, Popbot couldn’t have planned his entrance better (or worse, in jefbot’s case) if he tried. 🙂
Goooooood Morning JefBoteers!
Today is our Exhaulted One’s Natal Escape Day. Or as others know it, His Birthday!
Happy Birthday JefBot. We love you !!!!!
I like that! ^_^ That is a much better way of phrasing my highly inappropriate birthday wishes… which I will not say here… ’cause I’m a good girl. *innocent smile* ^_^
ha! although curious, i thank you for your discretion, AdM. 😉
woo! thanks, Pixie! i had a great birthday yesterday and can’t wait to do more celebratin’! 😀
Happy Birthday, Jeff! (BTW: My 50th is on the 20th. Betcha didn’t know that you appealed to an older demographic, didja? 🙂 )
As far as shows go, my list is rather lengthy, but it includes “The Event”, “Fringe”, The two “NCIS”s, All of the “CSI”s the above-mentioned “Burn Notice” and “Blue Bloods”. I also just discovered “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” on YouTube and absolutely *LOVE IT!!!* (Why yes, I *am* comfortable in my manhood. Why do you ask?)
*early birthday cuddles & kisses* Happy 50th birthday for the 20th! ^_^
Thanks, Angela! 🙂
Piratical Pixie Happy Birthday Cuddle! BONZAI! *dives in the pile and just snuzzles away!*
Thanks, Pixie! 🙂
thanks for the bday wishes, r61! i’m always curious about what demos JEFbot appeals to, so thanks for sharing. and i’m sending early happy birthday vibes your way! 😀
okay, now i’m gonna have to check out that My Little Pony vid to see what the appeal is. heheh.
dude. i don’t have time to watch all of it right now but i watched the first few minutes and it had me at Wicked Mare of Darkness. (the stylized animation is cool, too!) will definitely be watching this via my Apple TV later.
There’s a term in japanese that’s very fitting for what Bot just went through… and it roughly translates as… So close! And he would’ve gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that meddling Pop-bot
i’d love to know that term, Jiro! (especially since it would seem to apply to bot on many an occasion.) 🙂
Starz has a great new one… Camelot… you can even checkout the first 3 episodes on their website http://www.starz.com/originals/Camelot?src=starz_mktg&med=ppc&cmp=camelot&cid=316
happy birthday too ^_^
i watched the first episode of Camelot last weekend, Nathaniel, and thought it was pretty good. didn’t love King Arthur, but maybe he’ll grow on me. the rest of the cast is great, though, so will probably keep watching. 🙂
and thanks for the “happy birthday”!
Try the show Chuck. It has 3 seasons you’d have to catch up on, but it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in years. Adam Baldwin is in it too with a very Jayne-esque character again. Shoot it.. Shoot it again. Blow it up. Shoot some more, then move on type deal for his character.
my buddy is always raving about Chuck, David, so he’ll be happy when i tell him you mentioned it. i will eventually have to give this show a shot, methinks. thanks!
(I agree with David) Chuck is the bomb… (also Happy Birthday!)
yay! pie and birthday tacos were had, Tymethief! thanks!
me thinks I get an Ipad too.. on the other hand.. naaaah
i think i’m gonna skip this gen, supersonic cucumber, and wait for the iPad 3. especially since i’m probably gonna have to get the iPhone 5 when it comes out. BUH.
😀 I still don’t get the whole Apple-hype. True, I do have an iPod.. it’s really really nice, pictures, videos, pretty colors.. but the best? I cannot say… Apple is like Luis Vuitton in electronics
Happy b-day, Jeff. Wishing you a mountain of fun (of doom, of course!)!!
Indeed, happy birthday Jeff. 😀
thanks for the bday wishes (of doom), Sonitan! waitasec – we’re gonna party on Mount Doom!? i take it that means we’re gonna have to destroy this nifty ring i gots for my birthsday, my preciousSs…
*chuckles* You really are deliciously nerdy. ^_^
ROFL!
::cough:: And a belated happy b’day, Jeff!
popbot foiled your plans, bot. hahaha great strip. but why are u charging your mom anyway? i’m sure she and popbot bought you so many techie things when you were little. what i’m saying is…YOU OWE HER!! Oh and Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
i do owe her, MC, but don’t let her know that! (she’s not reading this, right? right!?) 😉
thanks, dude!
Castle is another good show, somewhat in the vein of Bones. It’s one of the few shows that I must see during the week (other than Bones, Big Bang Theory, Fringe, and Modern Family)
another vote for Castle. definitely gonna be checking this one out, Ryan.
If the rumors are true and it is your birthday then happy natal escape day or belated or… well you get the picture. Enjoy your special day Jef
the day was enjoyed, Jiro! thanks! 😀
Jeff! Jeff! Jeff! *bounces*
Did you have a good birthday?! I hope so!
*belated birthday hugs & kisses & cuddles & smooches*
ha! thanks for all the hugs, kisses, cuddles and smooches, AdM! that just made my birthday even better! (yes, i’ll be celebrating all week.) 😀
That’s one heck of a ‘Yoink,’ if I’ve ever seen one, which I have.
Love..The..Face.
