I agree with some, disagree with some and would never yell at anyone for their personal taste!

Oh please Jeff, when do I EVER disagree with you? Although, best comic... I'm going with the one who gave Sullivan the finger on National Television. I just can't remember his name. LOL

Best Star Trek villain - Khan.

Totally agreed on some, not so much on ohers. Couldn't take number 5. (Red Sox fan here.) Suggestion for 29 - The Great Kate.

Jackie Mason, Nora? Sorry, can't abide with that one. Cosby is an artist, a storytelling master. William, I'll give Khan best MOVIE villain. On the TV show, I've always been a fan of Trelayne, because he's the only one who had a good excuse--he doesn't know any better. And LD: Sorry. 27 championships can't be wrong.

Picard has my vote for #1. Not that Kirk isn't great, I just prefer Picard.

ummmm....NO.
But nice try.

So that's what a Yankees fan is like. Good taste in everything else. There are a number of in my complex that hate the Yankees. We all came of age in the "Damn Yankees" era. One of my actress faves is Meryl Streep. Otherwise, I wouldn't scream at you ever.

Sounds fair.
Posted by: William Doonan | November 22, 2011 at 01:58 PM
Another vote for Picard. Kirk (Shatner) was too campy. And Bogart just played himself. Not that's not a good thing-but not the best actor. Maybe the best screen presence. And the Yankees have too much money to count for the last twenty years. The rest stands.
Posted by: Patti Abbott | November 22, 2011 at 07:16 PM
Yeah, but Picard was boring. Talk to stun. Bogart could play Sam Spade or Captain Queeg. And having money doesn't mean the Yankees aren't the best team.

Roger Moore as Bond. FavoRite one--LIVE AND LET DIE.
Most of the others I would agree with. The ones I don't I blame on your yankees crush.
