Once in awhile a TV show comes along that I dislike with such a passion, I am able to trick myself into forgetting it ever aired. Even if there are likable celebs starring in said shows, sometimes, I just can’t get past the content.

Example? “3rd Rock From The Sun“.

Didn’t get it. Didn’t care to get it.

In fairness, I only watched a few episodes in their entirety (each of which did so much shark jumping, I thought for sure it wouldn’t get picked up for a full season), but they all felt like mediocre SNL skits that just kept going and going and going.

Random aside: In the battle of who’s voice is most annoying, I’m not sure if French Stewart or Kristin Johnston would reign victorious.

Recently, I have seen bits & pieces of past shows while traveling abroad - it appears to be a favorite for airline in-flight entertainment. Anyway, on a recent flight I was reminded that my current crush, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, got his big break on this alleged “comedy”. Because I had blocked this show from my memory, I had forgotten that he was a part of it.

His sweet, earnest little face was clearly the best part of this show…at least in my humble opinion.

Joseph has gone on to become an Indie darling (and every hipster girl’s fantasydate) starring most recently in the buzz-worthy, “500 Days of Summer“, action flick”GI Joe Rise of the Cobra” (eek) and “Inception” (co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio - more hope for this one)…

While ladies across the world are squealing over Robert Pattinson (who - to be clear - deserves the squeals) and Shia Labeouf (this one I don’t get), might I suggest throwing a few crushes JGL’s way? I have a feeling his under the radar status won’t be lasting much longer…
