Sup Y'all?
I've been sick the last few days so I apologize for the lack of posts, but, on the bright side, I did watch some TV. And, I finally managed to hook my teeny, tiny netbook up to my TV, so I now have BIG, free Internet TV. Go team!
THE EVENT:
If you liked LOST, check this out. It is a crappier version of what you used to love. Only, instead of a random plane crash, there is some sort of terrorist plot. And instead of a crash, well, the plane just kinda disappears. Yeah. That was only the first episode. There were a lot of flash-backs, and the "event" was apparently set in motion 11 or so months in advance. Not my kind of show, but like I said, if you enjoyed LOST, you might just want to give it a try. It might help heal your loss.
RUNNING WILDE:
So, since I really enjoyed the first episode of this show, I thought I would watch the second episode to see if it was still as great as I thought it was. It was! David Cross was in this episode as well. (Seriously, does that dude ever sleep?!) It was pretty funny. If you still haven't tried it, I strongly suggest you do.
OUTSOURCED:
Rumor has it that Office fans everywhere are pissed that this show has interrupted their regular nighttime programming. I, on the other hand, think this is AWESOME! Then again, I am a Cultural Studies major, so a show about American culture, Indian culture, and cultural faux pas is way up my alley. Still, I recommend it. even though it follows the standard sitcom formula, the fact that it is in India is still something new for an American TV show.
MELISSA & JOEY:
Since I am talking about sitcoms, I decided to mention one that is a bit older that just came to my attention. Starring Melissa Joan Hart, this show focuses on Senators party-girl daughter, turned city council woman. Who is now the legal guardian of her corrupt brother in-law's children. oh, and did I mention her male nanny used to also work for that corrupt company. If you feel like shutting your brain off and watching some ridiculously bad parenting, watch this. Maybe watch it along with Raising Hope if you are in need of a mega dose of bad parenting. Perhaps before or after watching the new Katherine Heigel movie: Life As We Know It.
BETTER WITH YOU:
Aaand, last cheesy sitcom review of the day. It was cute. Targeted at the female demographic. Focuses on different couples in various stages of romance. Parents are married for 35 yeas. oldest daughter has been with her man for 9 years, and the youngest sister has been with her man for 6-1/2 weeks. Watch their relationship troubles. Oh the drama Oh the miscommunication. Oh the basic sitcom formula. and, cue laugh track.
THE WHOLE TRUTH:
Can anyone say Law and Order? I really don't have much to say about it. It showed a court case from both the side of the Prosecution, and the side of the Defense. And both of those lawyers are good friends. And both does their job o the best of their ability, even if the client is guilty. Nothing special, it is pretty formulaic, but at least in the end of the first episode, the audience finds out the guilt, or innocence of the convicted.
