Housecats are known to be aloof, but "cat-titude" reaches new heights in Get Fuzzy, the bitingly hilarious comic strip from cartoonist Darby Conley. Available daily and Sunday and appearing in 650 newspapers nationwide, Get Fuzzy is a wry portrait of single life, with pets. At the center of this warm and fuzzy romp is Rob Wilco, a single, mild-mannered ad executive and guardian of anthropomorphic scamps Bucky and Satchel. Bucky is a temperamental cat who clearly wears the pants in this eccentric household. Satchel is a gentle pooch who tries to remain neutral, but frequently ends up on the receiving end of Bucky's mischief. Together, this unlikely trio endures all the trials and tribulations of a typical family... more or less.
The National Cartoonists Society honored Get Fuzzy with a Reuben division award, naming it the Best Newspaper Comic Strip of 2002. There are a dozen Get Fuzzy compilation books published by Andrews McMeel: The Dog Is Not a Toy (House Rule #4); Get Fuzzy 2: Fuzzy Logic; Groovitude: A Get Fuzzy Treasury; The Get Fuzzy Experience: Are You Bucksperienced; Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun; Blueprint for Disaster; Say Cheesy; Scrum Bums; Loserpalooza; I'm Ready for My Movie Contract; and Take Our Cat, Please; plus Get Fuzzy wall and box calendars.

If they’re talking about Episode 1:The Phantom Menace, they can trash it all they want.

I’m really not following the point of this thread.

Rob is obsessing over reviews that trash movies he likes, probably on IMDb.com, tho no specific names have been dropped.
It’s a lost cause, Rob. There has never been a movie so good that someone didn’t hate it or a stinker so bad that somebody didn’t love it. It’s axiomatic: every work of art has its own audience.

“Junkyard of cinematic gimmicks.” Best description of “Star Wars” ever!

“The Middle Of The Noon!”
CLASSIC, Bucky!
BTW, anyone remember the Gene Shalit review of “Star Wars; A New Hope”?

You can yell “fire” in a crowded theater if there is a fire. Now if there is a fire and you don’t tell anyone you are as guilty as the one who yells “fire” in a theater and there isn’t one.

You’re right. For quite a while a friend and I knew if Siskel & Ebert gave a movie two thumbs down it had to be a great movie in our opinions. We tried it for about a year, every year they trashed we had to rent and watch, and liked every one. If they gave 2 TU’s we thought it was eh, okay.
