A quotes list created by Lee Sonogan

Originally published on entertainmentcultureonline.com

Changing things up this list will be all about the quotes provided at the start of each episode giving initial context into the philosophical type show. Comedy alone there is a list although the words at the beginning of episodes are from some of the most influential people from history. Knowing more than 2 thirds of the names, maybe the remaining view can be their own quote lists on UNGROOVYGORDS. Read my review below for more details and the following list is in categorical order.

Re-watching this series at least 3 times in my lifetime, remembering it to a point where I desire a forth. Other than repeating what I said in my review, I highly recommended it then and still as much in 2020. If you have not heard of it before, please treat yourself…
