Must see TV

You've probably seen her music video and her boyfriend's equally funny retort. You may have seen her as an award show host. You also might have recently seen her do political humor.

But if you haven't seen the Sarah Silverman Program, you're missing out on cleverly crafted laugh until your stomach hurts television. It's on Comedy Central, thursday's at 10 pm, but set the TiVo/DVR to record the series whenver it comes on. Brilliant!

I watched an episode last night during which Sarah coaches a young orphan in a pagent while two regulars on the show run into trouble when their cell talk about a fart in a friend's police cruiser catches the ears of overzealous counter-terrorist coppers. Here's the climax to both plots, nicely interweaved.



And if not for the Indian space program, the episode would've given us today's Song of the Day.
