Profile: After graduating from BU in 2010 with a degree in advertising, I dove deep into the mire of food servitude, chatting up tourists and defining mignonette and chiffonade, all the while plotting my escape into copywriting. While doing so, I spent--and still spend--my time traveling, writing, baking, and kickboxing.

I also write the weekly Down the Tubes TV column for TNGG. Twitter: @lapetiteking

I thought it would be fun to compare classics with their 2011 sitcom counterparts. I went ahead and did it, because I don’t get paid to write these, so it’s all about fun. And Christmas merriment!
