It's Always Sunny......

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...

It only took me 6 seasons and the advice from one person to watch an episode of this brilliant comedy. I had heard of the show before, but I am not a big sitcom person, I don't like to invest my time in something that can be canceled on a whim, give me a movie, it has a beginning, middle and end. I hate the cliff hanger, and especially, "on next weeks show", if you have it done already show it, don't make me wait. ANYWAY.... I watched on episode of this show and was kinda repulsed, hooked, intrigued, and sad.. Is this really what TV is? I watched a couple more and laughed but also I feel kinda bad because I want more...This characters in this show are disgusting, loathsome, degenerate, shallow and most importantly just like every person in the world, except that they don't hid who they are. At some point in your life you feel just like each one of these people. Granted you will never admit it to anyone, but REALLY!!!!! Give it a chance, I am not going to say anymore, but it is the longest running comedy sitcom on basic cable, so that must tell you something.

New Entertainment

I have been watching a couple new shows lately that I have been finding interesting. There is a show on HBO called No 1 Ladies Detective Agency... It star's Jill Scott (R&B singer) and Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls); it is a show that is centered in Botswana, the first to be filmed there. Now I don't know much about Botswana, but from what I am seeing in the show, I am thinking that it is pretty authentic. The show sucked me in on a Sunday morning, I was into hour 2 before, I looked to see how long my mini marathon would last, but they don't have it On Demand, and they were only showing the one, two hour show... disappointed that I couldn't watch more, I left very satisfied with the new entertainment that I was exposed to.

Carnal, Sexy, Blood Charging

Ok, I don't know what is up lately, but I am giving television another chance.. Well as the movie " I love you, Man" states "It's not televsion, It's HBO". I was kinda bored on Saturday, so I thought I would give the show True Blood a once over. Well, Once over isn't exactly what happened. I ended up watching the whole first season in one night. Wow, it captivated me beyond belief. I don't know if it was the sex? The blood? Something different? I don't know, but I have to tell you; I liked it, A lot. I am now half way through the second season, and can't wait to finish it. The first couple of episodes weren't like the new t.v. shows that I am used to. It didn't just introduce characters, it really immersed me. I like the characters, I like the setting, LOVE the music, Well the sex is just a given..I am not going to go into what the show is about, the plot, the characters, I am just going to say... If you have a day where you feel bored, nothing really to watch, Give True Blood a try.

GLEE

Ok, so I have jumped on the bandwagon. Yes, I have watched "Glee" finally,,, now I am not that big of a musical fan, but I have to admit, this isn't your stereotypical musical show. I have seen a couple in the past and was not impressed. There is one thing about Glee that I love, and that's Sue Sylvester.. Aka Jane Lynch.. Brilliant in every movie, tv show, spot that I have seen her in. She plays BITCH, like no one else. The only reason that I started to watch this show is because of the "Madonna" themed episode. I watched Sue Sylvesters' remake of Vogue, and I had to watch every episode from there. I am glad that HULU supports us people that jump on the bandwagon late and has posted 6 episodes that I have now watched. I wouldn't say that I am addicted and will go out and buy everything that is associated with Glee, but I will say that I now have another reason to watch boring regular programming on television.
Make sure to check out Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester as Madonna in Vogue, I know you can find it on HULU or Youtube

Cash Cab

Your in the Cash Cab!! I want to hear Ben Bailey say them to me.. Unfortunately, I live in California where we don't have the luxury.. If you haven't seen or heard of the show, please do yourself a favor and watch the show. It is on Discovery channel most nights, sometimes for a couple of hours. I am addicted to this show.. I even get my friends to watch it with me. This year I do believe that it won the Emmy for best game show.

So the premise of the show.. One cab in New York picks up unsuspecting people, and quizzes them on general knowledge questions. Each question they get right they earn money. If they get three wrong, they get kicked out (but they do get the free cab ride). Some people make bank... some lose three questions in a row and get kicked to the curb... It is funny because they all freak out on these questions trying to answer them.. pulling some from out of their asses. They do get two shout outs for help... They can call someone, or pull over on the side of the road and ask a person.

Anyway, try and find time to watch this show.. I definitely love it.
