‘Friends’ (NBC) was the greatest show of all time and  I’m confident enough to say so.  It had the perfect formula for success with 3 guys and 3 girls who are all 30-something best friends living in the city, experience many adventures, hookups, breakups, and all to the sweet sound of a laugh track.  Introduce an episode of ‘Friends’ to anyone who has never really watched the show and they will instantly fall in love with Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Monica, and Chandler.

‘Friends’ aired for 10 wonderful years and there has not and will not be anything like it.  Today you will find 3 shows on major networks that are attempting to use the magical formula to recreate the perfect friend group.  However, we are not fooled and will not be swayed.

‘Happy Endings’ (ABC) premiered last night with one of the gals leaving one of the guys at the altar.  How original.  Rachel left her fiancé during the pilot episode of ‘Friends’ and on the ‘Perfect Couples’ (NBC) premiere two of the friends decide not to get married just before walking down the aisle.  ’Happy Endings’ also features 6 familiar characters that you will find uncanny resemblances to in ‘Friends’ and ‘Perfect Couples’ as well as a purple-walled apartment that will take you back to Monica’s trademark apartment.

‘Perfect Couples’ follows the ‘Friends’ path a bit less than ‘Happy Endings’ since the characters are all in relationships with each other, however ‘Perfect Couples’ seems to have taken a page out of the ‘Better With You’ (ABC) playbook, a show that I have enjoyed from the start.  ’Perfect Couples’ compares the lives at 3 couples who are all friends but are in different stages in their relationships.  ’Better With You’ also features 3 couples in different staged relationships, however the characters are related with the two girls being sisters and the oldest couple being their parents.  ’Better With You’ trumps ‘Perfect Couples’ because the characters are naturally funny and it is the only show out of the 3 that boasts a laugh track (a lost art).

There are so many similarities and comparisons between these 4 shows (as if the picture doesn’t say it all) that I could rant about the outrage all afternoon.  So I will leave you with the most important piece of information… Cammi’s official ranking:

4th- ‘Perfect Couples’ (Bad jokes and bad casting! Bleh!)

3rd- ‘Happy Endings’ (Funny moments… if you can get past the ‘Friends’ parallels)

2nd- ‘Better With You’ (Classic comedy that will make you want to hang with your sis)

1st- ‘Friends’ (Need I say more?)

After all of this confusion, I am sure that you are wanting to do something that involves a bit less creative overlap.  Well then check out Circle City Tickets for the best deals on tickets to shows to see your favorite creative music artists this summer!

Guess what? It doesn’t matter because you are surrounded by Colts Fans!! That is what makes Lucas Oil Stadium so great!

Circle City Tickets has Lucas Oil seating in the bag! We can put you on whatever level you want and you will be in the Home of the Indianapolis Colts!

Go Colts!

BOSS’S DAY IS OCTOBER 16, 2010!!!!! Having Boss’s Day fall on a Saturday sort of defeats the purpose and leaves our fearless leaders feeling a bit neglected, so I feel we should recognize our bosses a day early.  I have prepared an acrostic in honor of the big guys here at Circle City Tickets thanking them for the many great things they do around the office.  Without further ado… a poem:

B- Being available for your employees even though all we do is whine about the air conditioning, the soda selection in the fridge, the lack of lumbar support in our chairs, or the cancelled US Weekly subscriptions.

O- Only taking a 4 day vacation to Wine Country (when we’re sure you would like for it to be 12 days) so that you can be here to fix our printers, help us with our logins, order our office supplies, and sign our paychecks.

S- Smiling through our mindless stories about our cats, our kids, our spouses, and our elderly grandparents, even though you just heard the same story yesterday.

S- Showing you’re thinking about us by attempting to start planning our office holiday party two months in advance knowing that you will not get any solid plans from us until after the first week of December and all of the good restaurants are booked.

I sure wish there were more letters in the word “boss,” because there are so many great things our bosses do for us employees!  But, more importantly, our bosses do great things for all of you… by providing you with premium access to tickets to sporting events, concerts, and shows anywhere in the country!

Right now my bosses can supply you with tickets to see Wicked in Indianapolis over Christmas, or tickets to hang out in the pit at the Zac Brown Band concert, or get you sideline seats to see everyone’s favorite NFL team: the Indianapolis Colts.  Come to think of it, my bosses are pretty dang cool!

Thanks Circle City Tickets bosses!  We’ll keep working hard for you and you keep working hard for the better of the Indianapolis public!

Even though they put a stage extention and eliminated a number a seats, I feel my wife and I had the best seats in the house. They were right there at the end of the runway. We could not have been any closer. Because of the seat we had, those added seats to section B, we were chosen by one of the cameramen to have our picture on the big screens during one of the songs.

Thanks again.

If any of you enjoyed one or more of the movies listed, then I am open to hearing your opinions.  But my consensus remains that nothing beats the original.

Which brings me to my main point:   Colts Play Superbowl in Miami II was bound to disappoint.  The casting was similar, but missing a few key stars.  The wardrobe was mixed up a bit buy switching from white jerseys to blue.  The villain was a fresh opponent.  The set was changed from rainy Sunday to warm evening.  And of course the ending had to change in order to keep audiences in suspense.  Colts fans give this Miami re-do two giant foam thumbs down.

Now that Indianapolis has had nearly two weeks to get over their disgust, it is time to check the showtimes for this upcoming week of  some fresh originals or additions to a favorite series available through Circle City Tickets.

Circle City Tickets gearing up for Colts Playoff Run

(Indianapolis, IN, January 5, 2010) – Circle City Tickets announced today that they are once again getting ready for a Colts Super Bowl run with the anticipation of the first playoff games to be played at their new home, Lucas Oil Stadium. The first Playoff game is scheduled for Saturday January 16th at 8:15 PM as the Colts earned a bye and home field advantage through out the NFL playoffs.

“We’ve are very excited about the first ever playoff game to be played at Lucas Oil Stadium and for a potential AFC Championship game as well,” commented owner Mike Peduto. “Our location on North Keystone Ave. and new website will help us to better serve our customers during this playoff run”

Circle City Tickets is scheduled to have extended hours during the Playoff’s and anticipated Super Bow run to accommodate the increased ticket requests.

It is the holiday season and that means a couple of things: Lots of family time, the end of the NFL season and College Bowl season. This year it is hard to get excited about the Bowl season due the fact that there are 34 bowl games. Now, I understand that for the college athletes each and every bowl game is important but as a fan, why would I ever want to watch the New Mexico Bowl between Fresno St and Nevada or the Little Ceasars Bowl between Marshall and Ohio. These bowl games are pointless, I was flipping through the channels on Dec 26 and I just happened to turn on the Marshall and Ohio football game, the stands were about half full. This can not be a good situation for the BCS, the stadium, or the schools to have these games where they are loosing money. Instead of 34 bowl games they should have some sort of playoff. Maybe start the season a week earlier and get it all wrapped up before the athletes finals or start the playoffs after the finals. In the NFL there are two weeks between the Conference Championship game and the Super Bowl, why can’t the FBS do something similar. I think it would increase revenue and be great for college football.

On my mind this week is the Indianapolis Colts, as it seems is the case with many NFL loving Americans. With the team being 5-0, our Colts orders have been streaming in over the last couple of weeks, and even with a bi week and an away game this week, the home games are still in high demand. If you’re looking to sit in good seats for any of the remaining games, now is the time to buy! Options for lower level seats are dwindling fast… yikes!

From one Colts fan to another, get your tickets now if you don’t want to miss out on the action this season… seriously.
