Last night (Tuesday night) was a good night for ferrets on TV!
First off I was watching the first episode of "Andy Richter Controls the
Universe" (which is screamingly funny, by the way). Andy was in the
office of a supervisor, telling her that an upper management jerk has
moved a new employee into Andy's office. The supervisor started snarling
about how the upper management guy is: "a little ferret. A nasty little
FERRET."
Andy frowns and looks confused at her reference. "Aren't ferrets...cute?"
he asks.
The supervisor gives a resigned sigh. "Yes, they're VERY cute," she admits.
Then, later on, I was watching "The Osbournes" on MTV. (For anyone who
doesn't know, this is a half-hour weekly series. A camera crew taped
hours and hours of the home life of Ozzy Osbourne, and they've turned it
into a series. For anyone who's a fan of Ozzy, it's interesting, pretty
funny, and definitely "different". Anyone who thinks Ozzy is a turd will
not think much better of him after watching him and his family interact!).
Anyway, this episode highlighted a brief publicity tour Ozzy was taking
to promote his latest album. He was having pictures taken with various
people at one media stop, and suddenly he was standing with a lady and her
FERRET! Ozzy was petting the ferret and smiling at it...a big brown sable
boy.
It's always a good night when I get 2 ferret references/sightings in just
an hour or so of TV! And neither one was a "negative" portrayal either,
which is always good!
