Tired of Reruns?

Damn you, writers and your strike!

I am sick of reruns, although Intervention and Nip/Tuck are going strong, but that only helps on Monday and Tuesday.

Well, I have found a solution. AOL Video.

I just got done watching all great episodes of the 1999 TV show Action. Remember it? Well, it starred Jay Mohr and Illeana Douglas. The show was way ahead of its time.

As was Maude, which I am watching now. Yes, I did say Maude.

Right now Maude's daughter and Florida are making jokes about women who put Ms. on the front of their names. Hil-ar-ious.

I can't wait for Maude to have her abortion.

I Hate You, Kal Penn

Every role I see you in makes me sick. Your Indian stereotype didn't make me laugh in Van Wilder or Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj, you were horrible in Epic Movie, Superman Returns sucked, I hate that your character messed with Cordy on Angel, and the "Beer Bad" episode you had a guest spot in on Buffy was the worst episode ever and I blame you.

Now I have to look at you every week on House. Ugh! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!! No, not you personally, just every thing you've done careerwise.

Family Guy Not So Bad Tonight

I quite enjoyed tonight's Family Guy. It was quite humorous with it's satire on illegal immigration. I also think it had a lot to do with it not being a Stewie/Brian episode. Keep it up, Family Guy.

Comedy Central's Drawn Together Canceled?

The season finale of "Drawn Together" was on tonight and there were several comments at the end of the show that it had been canceled. Wikipedia has a mention of this also.

I am not surprised or upset about this news. Though I watch it when it is on late nights, the latest season's episodes have been lame. Most of the jokes are just profanity and sex. It is trying to be over the top for a quick laugh.

This is quite different than the show's first season. I found it to be quite humorous because of its off-the-wall and ironic dialogue and plots. It's satire of reality shows and cartoon characters made me laugh quite a bit.

Those days are gone and it seems so is Drawn Together. The producers really should have seen this coming. Adam Carolla was involved and everything he does ends up getting canned.

I hope Family Guy takes this as a warning. Stop doing stupid gags just to cross the line. The high school male demographic is not that profitable.

Intervention Tonight!

First episode: Meth addict and alcoholic with two kids. Started drinking at the age of 9, supplied by his mother. This episode is like a poor man's Drew Barrymore bio. Perfect!

Second episode: It's Cristy the drunken/drugged up whore. Seen it.

Intervention Tonight at 8 PM on A&E

By far the best reality television show has changed time slots and will now be on Mondays at 8 & 9 PM starting tonight! There will actually be two episodes tonight; the 8 PM one is likely a rerun.

If you've never heard of Intervention, here's the A&E website. *Note* I wanted to get a video clip of the show for the blog, BUT A&E has apparently banned clips of its shows on YouTube. Not smart, my blog gives free promotion! Ok, maybe to only 5 or 6 people (if lucky), but that's still something.

I hope tonight's episode is about an alcoholic, pill-popping housewife. It's always better when kids are involved.

Oh, and if you can't catch the episodes at 8 & 9 because you are watching something better (Samantha Who?), A&E, as with most cable networks, replays them starting at 11 PM.

Kim Kardashian's show

What's more sad, the actual show, "Keeping up with the Kardashians" or me watching it????

It's Saturday, what else am I suppose to do.

Thanks, Amanda from Ugly Betty

You make me feel not so bad about being a Receptionist! You are hot and driven and you still answer phones.

History Channel Still In 1399

Well the History Channel is premiering a new documentary on Nostradamus called "The Lost Book of Nostradamus", even though it has been 7 years since the new millennium and all of his predictions have failed.

Why does the History Channel continue to air specials on a guy who fooled French royalty 700 years ago. It's not their fault, they still thought the Earth was flat.

But we don't, so stop feeding us this crap!

David Chase on Sopranos Finale, Part 2

I read two articles from The Associated Press and from E! that both say David Chase "strongly" suggests Tony was NOT whacked in the finale.

I can't find that anywhere in the interview where he "strongly" suggests Tony didn't die. What I took from it was that he did die.

"There had been indications of what the end is like. Remember when Jerry Toricano was killed? Silvio was not aware that the gun had been fired until after Jerry was on his way down to the floor. That's the way things happen: It's already going on by the time you even notice it."

Bingo, right there you have it. Plus with Bobby's comment on death. Never see it until it happens! Tony died, David Chase is just being "coy" even though he says he is not. He just doesn't want to explain it to us.

I don't get how these two articles got it so wrong. They totally misconstrue the interview, like how they place his quotes to the wrong conclusions.

Please read the entire interview. I think you will see it my way.

tv.links.co.uk No More

Apparently it is against the law to post pirated videos of TV shows and movies on the Internet.

According to The Guardian, the British man in charge of tv.links.co.uk has been arrested. Not that I ever went there, of course.

On a totally unrelated matter, I'll never find out what happens to Nancy and friends on Weeds, unless I pay for Showtime.

History Channel, What Happened to You?

Does anyone remember the days when the History Channel was 24/7 World War II/Hitler channel?

I do, and I miss it. I am so sick of their Armageddon/ Da Vinci Code junk. Tonight they had a special on the Antichrist. Ugh!

The worst show they ever had on was that 7 ways the world could end crap. And why are they showing movies, like Star Trek?!?

None of this is history! Educate the masses, don't fill them with prophesies and mythology.

Beverly Hills, 90210 Already Did It

This latest California wildfire is totally lame. 90210 did an episode just like this. Remember? It's when "the gang" has a party out in Malibu or something and they have to evacuate because of a wildfire. I believe this occurred during the seventh season (senior year of college).

It's also the one where Kelly ends up freaking out because she was in a house fire just two seasons before. Brandon came to her rescue even though they had recently broke up, making Mark jealous. Oh and dumb Donna gets stuck out in the wild because she tries to save a deer, moron!

Come on real world, you're losing your edge!

David Chase on Sopranos Finale

I read this article a few days ago, before I had my blog, so I thought it was still timely enough to post it up.

I found it on Entertainment Weekly's website and apparently is an excerpt from the upcoming Sopranos book. The really interesting part of the interview is this:

Have you heard the elaborate theories about what really happened? Like the one that says you were re-creating The Last Supper?
The interesting thing is that, if you're creative, there may be things at work that you're not even aware of: things you learned in school, patterns you've internalized. I had no intention of using The Last Supper, but who knows if, subconsciously, it just came out. If people want to sit there figuring this stuff out, I think that's just great. Most of them, most of us, should have done this kind of thing in high school English class and didn't.

Are they wasting their time? Is there a puzzle to be solved?
There are no esoteric clues in there. No Da Vinci Code. Everything that pertains to that episode was in that episode. And it was in the episode before that and the one before that and seasons before this one and so on. There had been indications of what the end is like. Remember when Jerry Toricano was killed? Silvio was not aware that the gun had been fired until after Jerry was on his way down to the floor. That's the way things happen: It's already going on by the time you even notice it.

Are you saying...?
I'm not saying anything. And I'm not trying to be coy. It's just that I think that to explain it would diminish it.

I'm taking from this that Tony was shot in the finale. It all makes sense, especially when Tony has a flashback of Bobby saying referring to death, "when it happens, you'll never see it coming"

Quick criticism of the interview:

1. Bad comparison of the Sopranos finale to the Last Supper. Not really in the same boat.
2. David Chase kind of comes off like an ass in the interview. Also the picture they use of him makes him look like the Emperor from Star Wars.

3. I will say I gained new respect for him because of how he treats we the viewers not like idiots.

I may never buy a car off you, but I love your jingle. I don't quite get the "Your Job's, Your credit" part. Whatever.
