An adult's lullaby

  A while back, Dave asked if I had ever watched the show "Dr. Katz." I said no, I hadn't. He showed me the show, and at first, I am going to admit, I wasn't impressed. It's a cartoon that was on Comedy Central during the early thousands. (Is that how you say it? If it was on air during the years 1999-2000ish? Thousands? Or turn of the century? I don't know, either one makes me feel old, because 2001 doesn't seem that long ago. However, it is ten years, which is a long time. But I disgress....) After that one epidsode, I tried another and got hooked. The show is about Dr. Katz, a professional therapist, and his son Ben. There are also segments of him interviewing his clients, which happen to be famous comics like Dave Chapelle, Sarah Silvermen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ray Ramano, etc. Now at night, once the kids are in bed and the house is picked up (because let's be honest, I'm like Monica and God forbid a shoe be out of place before I go to sleep...) we bring our little laptop in our room, YouTube Dr. Katz, and fall alseep to those sweet comedic stylings.
   I don't think we ever really make it through one episode on any given night. It's the kind of show that doesn't really have a long plotline that you have to follow through to the end of the episode, just a series of jokes weaved into different scenes. It's become something that I look forward to in my day. When the house is quite and the world is still, there's nothing better than cuddlin' with your honey and falling asleep to the calming voices of Dr. Katz and Ben.
   So check it out! I do think it helps you fall asleep faster, because my husband who notoriously can't fall alseep at night, is out within minutes once these guys come on. I might need to market this method of medication for insomniacs....

was there supposed to be soothing lullaby-esque music playing? because I didn't hear any dialogue... am I missing something? I feel so stupid....

No, you're not stupid, it's not "supposed" to be lullaby-esque. It's just that way for D and C.

I vaguely remember that show being on and not ever really getting into it.

I know what you mean about the feeling old thing-- yesterday Jess and I were talking about my house, and how it's an "older" house b/c it was built in '94, and she's like, that's not that long ago, and then we realized that it was 17 years ago... Holy cow. The '90s were 17 years ago!
