oooh oooh i want to try

When idealistic young Ishmael (Ish to his friends) signs up for a whaling voyage, he quickly finds himself on board a veritable Ship of Fools! It's high seas and high comedy, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (as Queequeg) and Norm MacDonald (as the wisecracking Starbuck) rounding out this wacky cast of characters. You thought *your* boss was bad? Try swabbing the deck under the watch of the lovably crazy Captain Ahab (Nathan Fillion), whose life has been reduced to one single purpose - reducing YOU to tears of laughter!

Join us Wednesdays, at 8.00PM / 7.00 central on WGN for Moby Dick - it's a whale of a comedy!

Down-on-his-luck college cutup Raskolnikov THOUGHT he'd finally caught a break with a job translating books. But when his delightfully cranky pawnbroker (Betty White) and her a-few-kopecks-short-of-a-rouble daughter (Sarah Silverman) enter the picture, can he keep his moral compass set to FUN? Also starring Taylor Lautner as perennial ladies' man Razumihin, with special guest Rob Schneider as a nosy local detective.

This fall, we're "axing" the tough questions at NBC, with our new comedy, Living In Corners!

thanks bro killer thread you've started here

There's always something poppin in Denmark this fall on ABC! Moody young Prince Hamlet takes arms against a sea of hijinks when his extended family starts to become a royal pain in the neck! It's a zany romp when Hamlet's "cougar" mom (Tina Fey as Gertrude) cozies up to crazy uncle Claudius (Jim Belushi), with the Prince - and his freespirited gal-pal Ophelia - stuck in the middle! You'd have to be poisoned to miss out on all the laughs.

To tune in, or not to tune in Tuesdays at 9 for Hamlet, Prince of Denmark? That is the question!

It's small-town fun with big-time laughs this summer on TBS! Plucky heroine Scout thought that grade school was rough. But when her four-eyed father Atticus (Rick Moranis) and lovable doofus Tom (Ving Rhames) cause disorder in the court, can Scout order up the comedy? You'll bust your sides - and your chifforobes - when this li'l rascal teams up with neighborhood nutcase Boo Radley (Crispin Glover) for some Halloween tricks!
