Oh right: TV! Ok, so I pretty much hate TV now. I was all giddy about the sci-fi return of "V" with the aliens and all but they took a break. Aliens have very strict contracts. Everything on TV sucks. The Apprentice sucks. The Bachelor sucks. The reality island show where people "survive" sucks. I can't watch news or CNN with out thinking "I could be wasting my time some other way right now."
Please allow me to continue with the suck awards.
American Idol sucks. Lost sucks. "So You Think You Can Step Up and Dance with the Stars" sucks. See what I did there? Pretty clever huh? Housewives sucks. All of the crap that is on MTV officially sucks. Bravo should just give up. "Cooking with Angry Chefs" sucks.
So what doesn't suck? Well the late shows are usually entertaining. Conan is on hiatus or limbo or whatever. Steven Colbert comes on at 11:30 at night which is just too late for me. And I love Steven. He kicks face and takes names. And finally I have to say something about Community. Community is sarcasm with a dash of awesome mixed into a cake full of greatness. It's very fast paced and has a sense of 80's pop culture being that it is somewhat like "The Breakfast Club."
No redhead though.
Joel McHale. Joel Joel Joel. Sounds like a happy Christmas song. I know, I know. Chevy Chase is in it to. Who cares? I saw Chevy in the 80's. His time is over. He's the creepy guy in this show. I guess that's where he belongs though. He hit big with National Lampoons and Cady Shack. That's it. Nothing else. This is the time of Joel. If you don't know much about Mr. McHale, please watch every episode of The Soup. Do it now. Stop reading this.
Wasn't it funny? What? You didn't watch it?!?! STOP READING!
Ok, so that's how funny The Soup is. And the Community plays off of Joel's over the top ego humor. It's really good and my Mom and I sat down to watch 4 episodes on InDemand. It really is a perfect show. Here is a picture I ripped off the Internet. I would credit http://artculture.com for the photo but they did not credit anyone for the photo. Do unto others...
Bah! Forgot to mention that I'm also watching The Good Wife. It's a really interesting take on a relationship between two lawyers, one of which was publicly elected. Dad goes to jail and wife goes to work and deals with soooo much. Great to watch.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE The Good Wife!!! Which probably means it'll get cancelled.
ReplyDeleteNope. Good wife got an Emmy, has Mr. Big in it and the rest of the actors (minus the Blake character) are all great. Actually the actor playing Blake does a good job, it's just that the character doesn't belong. Kalinda is huge on that show and Blake . . . wait a minute!!! I've been sucked in to night time drama! NOOOOOOO!
