What television show stands the test of time?

Simpsons!  But the first show to pop into my head is Friends.  People all over the world know Friends, but is it a timeless show? I think not.  I think Simpsons has withstood the test of time! 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've heard that Meet the Press is the longest running TV show of all time.

"In order to probe the intermolecular interactions in the α’ crystal, spectroscopic methods were employed on four types of samples: amorphous PLA and three semicrystalline PLA samples."

I'm working on a paper that anayzes different crystal structures of poly(lactic acid) a.k.a. PLA.  PLA is an important material, ecologically, and interesting scientifically. 

Ecologically speaking, PLA is made from plants, corn specifically.  When PLA is introduced into the human body it degrades to lactic acid, which occurs natually in the body.  PLA has been approved by the FDA to be used inside the body.  PLA is what people in the biz call a "green" polymer, since it's (a) renewable (from plants) and (b) biodegradable.

Scientifically, PLA is a chiral (chiral wiki) molecule. The two isomers can crystallize together to form the "stereo-complex" which has a higher melting temperature.  PLA is also semi-crystalline meaning that some of the material will be amorphous (without long range order) and other parts will have well defined long range order (crystalline).

I saw this show last night and it was HILARIOUS.  First off, she is a riot and how she gets along with other people in LA is funny also.  Secondly all the Beverly Hills socalites were histarical also!  They drank and got a little wild.  Also I have never seen so many face lifts before in my life.  It was freeeeeky.  This show can't be on for much longer but I will watch it whenever I get a chance.  One funny part that I remember is when she threw out the first pitch for the LA Dodgers.  She learned how to play baseball with a bunch of little kids, and she wore high heels.  Victoria Beckham (posh spice) also says "major" alot, will this new slang catch on here in america? I doubt it.

Well it's summer and that means horrible TV shows and a few decent shows will premiere.  Some new shows for this season are: Drive, Traveler, Ex wives club, age of love, on the lot, national bingo night, and a few singing shows in which contestants need to know song lyrics.  Traveler is good but it'll probally get cancelled

Tongiht is the premier of Victoria Beckham's Coming to America - Tonight at 8 on NBC!  Maybe it'll be a good show, but probally not.  It will be funny to laugh at and that is why I will watch it tongiht, to see how rediculous the show is.  I would predict that this show lasts no more than 10 episodes, in fact if it gets to 10 I will be suprised.

We shall see how bad this show really is...tonight!

I just saw the season and series finale of veronica mars, and honestly i was a bit dissapointed.  There were 2 one hour episodes on tuesday night.  The first one was good and it dealt with weevil being wrongly accused of making fake college IDs with money on them.  Veronica fingered the perp, when everyone else was blaming weevil.  The last episode dealt with a secret society that veronica was trying to unearth.  This plot line seemed very familiar since in a previous season she did the same thing, however she was in high school back then.  This secret society was supposedly just like skull & bones at Yale.  So veronica figures it out then then we hear that her dad, keith mars, was just accused of evidence tampering.  Then the episode just ends!!!  That also means that the series just ends like that.  There was nothing bring all the various plot lines together.  I dont like that.  At least for the OC series finale they made it happy and tied up some loose ends, but veronica mars didnt do that.....oh well

Where do you go to get away from it all?
