Jeopardy tonite had this as the final question (as I was listening to it before My Name is Earl"
"This Roald Dahl book begins with 'this very old couple is the mother and father of Mr. Bucket'", or some such, I forgot how it was phrased.
I'm like "Um, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and look up, and see that it is apparently Teen Week on Jeopardy. :-P My happiness at my ability to name the book at the drop of a hat evaporated quickly.
Ah well, good to know if I were a teen, I could ace that game show now. :-)
************************************************************************
And, not much later, this is one of the funnier episodes of "Earl", too. Not since the X-Files episode dealing with Carnival Acts have I laughed quite like this. And the more fun part?
The guy who was in Star Trek: Next Gen (as The Traveler), and from Twin Peaks is in it.
Of course.
