yokellyyyyy asked: how's The Wire going?
Awesome. I stayed up until midnight last night watching it, and I’m almost halfway through the first season. I’m actually bummed I have plans tonight because I wouldn’t mind buying a bottle of Jameson and finishing the season instead.
I have to say, watching The Wire makes me really bummed because of how great all of these actors are (specifically the non-white actors; there is some bad acting coming from a few of the white Baltimore PD folks) and how with the exception of a few (Wallace, String, Omar, etc.) most of them haven’t gotten recognized with new work unless it’s a “hey, it’s that guy from The Wire!” cameo.
Seriously, Hollywood, less actors from Tyler Perry shows, more actors from The Wire.
The Wire, guys
Fuck.
I’m four episodes in and beyond hooked. Here’s to hoping I don’t stay up all night watching it.
Community isn’t one of them, but there is tangentially related Community news within. And some pretty dire-sounding show ideas.
Not that most sitcoms (including good ones) couldn’t be summed up into one sentence that sounds awful, but every single one of these comedies sounds awful.
Homicide Life on the Street Seasons 1 & 2 just dropped under $20 at Amazon!
Go buy it like I just did and thank me later. You all know that this was David Simon’s first show, right?
If this had come up in the SNL writer’s room, where stupid and ridiculous ideas run rampant and are usually given the green light, Seth Meyers would have walked up to Andy Samberg and slapped him across the face for even suggesting it as a skit idea.
With unemployment an ongoing issue and women now outnumbering men in the workforce, the new comedy series “Work It” follows two alpha males who realize the only way to beat the current “mancession” and land a job in pharmaceutical sales is to pass themselves off as women.
And here it is, as an actual television show from ABC. A show that is pushing back (cancelling?) Cougar Town. Abed will not be happy.
No surprise it has a laugh track.
Ever cried at the thought of Smurf penises? Rafi has. To tide you guys over, here’s a deleted scene from our SEASON 3 PREMIERE ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT.
For all you Tumblr people who’ve only gotten into football to play fantasy football with other Tumblr people, you should definitely start watching this show.
TV is back
Which I guess means all you Eastern/Central people are going to be liveblogging everything, which means I should probably stay off of here until the Pacific time zone catches up.
See you all tomorrow.
