This might be the best joke about our cursed region ever: "Miss Lemon, these gentlemen are the writers for Bruins Beat, whose offices we'll be sharing. They're all named Sean, they are mean, and I hate it here."

Completely impossible to turn off when it was on cable. Stole many Saturdays from me from 1995-2000.
