Three More Stories

I put up three more stories in the story blog. The first one, “Old Seinfeld,” written in the form of a TV script, is a parody of the Seinfeld TV sitcom, one of the best sitcoms of all time

What the heck, for what it's worth here are my all time favorite sitcoms. Disclaimer: I haven't watched any of the new shows, which explains their absence. Further disclaimer, I reserve the right to add or subtract a show as memory suggests.


1. Seinfeld
2. M*A*S*H
3. The Mary Tyler Moore Show
4. Friends
5. I Love Lucy
6. Cheers
7. Taxi
8. The Honeymooners
9. Amos and Andy
10. All in the Family
11. Laverne and Shirley
12. Married...with Children (mostly the earlier shows)
13. Sanford and Son
14. Three's Company


The second story is one of my darker stories entitled “Let's Play Overkill” which harks back to the Cold War. It is written in a dream sequence sort of way and is dark not only with nuclear winter and global warming, but with subconscious fears and aversions.

The third story is “A 'D' in French” which is the most autobiographical story I ever wrote. I even had to name the anti-heroic protagonist “Dennis” for reasons that become apparent when you read the story. Set at UCLA during the Vietnam War it is in fact almost entirely true allowing for some artistic license including some convenient minor invention. The strength of the story is in the ironies and in my attempt to see my youthful self with objectivity. I wonder how well I succeeded.
