>>> Saw her in some weird videos about mating in the animal kingdom on The Soup a couple years ago..I knew I didn’t like her, very weird..

Actually you probably didn’t. Isabella Rossellini was doing the odd animal mating films but don’t ask me why. Daughter of Ingrid Bergman, and not even a lesbian. Like her better now? Isabella, that is.

>>> If that was the point, then it hasn’t really worked well for either of them. I haven’t see Portia in anything since Ally McBeal.

Since Ally McBeal, Portia had starring roles in two of the finest comedies to run on American television. Arrested Development for three seasons, and Better Off Ted for two more seasons. Neither of these shows was aimed at the lowest common denominator so many don’t know them. If you missed these shows, that’s your loss. She seems to have a very good eye for quality roles.

>>> That’s what we call her around our house; Ellen Degenerate.

Such original witty repartee, your house sounds like a modern Algonquin Round Table. You must be very proud.

I cancelled my cable subscription over 5 yeras ago, and even when I had cable I didn't have the specialty channels like HBO or Showtime. There aren't enough quality programs of any kind to justify the expense. I watch netflix, blockbuster and occasionally hulu to get my TV fix. Fewer commericals that way.

Arrested Development is on Hulu.com, all of the episodes.

One of the best shows to air ever.
