F- "Well you're just saying that" O-"Well you told me to say it" F-"You could at least have the decency to apologize." O-" I apologize" F-"That's not going to get me my grave back is it!?" I defy anyone not to laugh at that.

Name: Roger
Date of Birth: May 7, 1970
Where do you live? Brooklyn, NY
When did you start watching OC? In reruns on WPIX, Channel 11.
Why do you like OC? The show is one of my earliest television memories - that and the old Adam West Batman serial, only the former of which has stood the test of time. I remember having to sometimes make a choice between OC on Channel 11 or Benny Hill on Channel 9, and OC always won (partly because I didn't get some of the dirty jokes on BH). This choice, however, was more difficult to make as I entered puberty.
What is your favorite episode? The Odd Decathlon - it's the armchair athlete in me. And the line "Everybody needs Pizza and Beer." Truer words have never been spoken.
What are your favorite scenes and/or lines? My three favorites are the Acting lesson in Felix Directs, the Umpiring lesson in the Odd Father, and the Radio Q&A lesson in The Big Broadcast - I guess I like when the boys are trying to teach each other.
What are your other favorite tv shows? Not much into network television anymore - especially since the advent of the Reality TV monarchy. I do watch The Shield, 24, and The Simpsons - otherwise its Discovery or the History Channel.
What are your other interests? Cooking, biking, snowboarding, running (4:02 2003 NYC Marathon), hockey, camping, hiking, martial arts - basically if it makes me break a sweat, I'm there.
