Sitcom Myers in Suckyness

Do you know who Seth Meyers is?

Seth (photo at right) is one of the cast of Saturday Night Live. Seth portrayed Senator John Kerry during the 2004 Presidential election. Seth also plays recurring characters including: the elaborately insulting scientist Dr. Dave Klinger a.k.a “Zinger”; Dan Needler who with wife Sally (Amy Poehler) are “the couple that should be divorced.”; Ian Gerard, the pun-loving British entertainment journalist host of “Spy Glass”; and the unflappable receptionist in the “Appalachian Emergency Room.”

Seth is pretty funny right?

Now imagine that there is a successful and very funny sitcom.

Now imagine that the main character on the sitcom quits. Not only that, but one of the other characters on the sitcom, the only actor on the show with a career outside of the sitcom, also quits.

Well, what if Seth Myer had a younger brother who was far less talented and not at all funny?

And, what if the producers of the abovementioned sitcom, instead of calling it quits, decided to jump-the-shark(link) and bring the sitcom back for one final season, replacing the two departed actors with the less talented and not-at-all-funny younger brother of Seth Myer?

It is all true.

The brother really exists and his name is Josh Myer (photo at right). The sitcom is That 70's Show and it has become unwatchable as Josh's character "Randy" has replaced Eric and Kelso.

Interesting aside = This season every episode of That 70's Show is named after a Queen song; season before that, Rolling Stones songs; season before that, Who songs; season before that, Led Zeppelin songs.
