Required Reading – Dr. Katz

July 6, 2009

The morning sucks.  We can all agree on that, right?  We hate morning people soooo much.  That being said, the breaka breaka dawn just got a little bit better because Comedy Central has started playing old Dr. Katz episodes every morning starting at 8am (that’s the breaka dawn as far as I am concerned).  Once [...]
