Finally got to watch Best in Show tonight
Joe had been urging me to see it for a few years
Oddly, throughout the broadcast on Comedy Central,
There were commercials for High Fidelity,
Another film that Joe had once insisted I see
Immediately after the movie
I started watching the tape of
This week's new episode of The Dead Zone,
The third season premiere, called "The Storm,"
About a freak severe weather front
Following the psychic hero, Johnny Smith
Midway through, a couple in an RV
Pick up the hitchhiking duo of
Johnny and his sidekick Bruce
Both members of this couple rang bells ---
The husband was played by Robert Picardo,
Formerly the doctor on Star Trek: Voyager,
And the wife looked uncannily like
One of the actresses in Best in Show
There had been this tall blonde woman with short hair
Who played the handler for a large poodle
And had a fairly important role
Mixed with many familiar comedians
Though I didn't recognize her
Doing a little research, it turns out that
This is indeed the same actress, Jane Lynch
One other note ---
It"s only been a few hours since
The events recorded in December's Children,
So there seems to be a bit of a sudden squall
Of coincidental activity moving in
After a considerable hiatus
