I haven't seen a TV sitcom in a year, since coming to Iraq, and mobilizing before.

The only TV beamed to us is CNN for the officers, and FoxNews for the NCO's.

The only newsprint we get is Stars & Gripes, which is nothing much beyond the AP Body Count on page 3.

My news comes from the Websites I get to use.

I am totally and happily clueless about current pop culture. Troops in theater prefer "The Simpsons," "South Park", classic SNL, and some new stuff, like Dave Chapelle.

Lots of guys watch re-runs of "Friends", mainly because of the occasional hooter shots.

Great to hear you get some of the old SNL, Sarge. Even 'Friends' is pretty funny; at least the writing is crisp and clever. I cancelled Cable.....enjoy reading too much. Still can't find anything on regular network TV. Best of luck to you.
