Mad Men: Public Relations

Liz is having computer troubles so I’m here to over-snark on the season premiere of Mad Men. Yes, everybody else over-analyzes but here we make excellent prostitute jokes.

”It’s somehow dirtier not seeing everything.” Read more…

Louie: Heckler/Cop Movie

Is acting difficult? Some comedians say it’s very easy and practically mock the profession on stage. Other comedians say they can’t possibly do it and mock the profession on stage. C.K. is a part of the latter group. Read more…

This Week In Television: July 19-25, 2010

DirectTV saved Damages from cancellation. Eventually the satellite company will scoop up every single critically-acclaimed and low-rated show in the world. Except Party Down…dammit.

Joshua Jackson held a “Pacey-Con” across the street from Comic-con. He even dressed like Mr. Witter. Joshua Jackson is a cool guy who doesn’t know what to do with himself when Fringe isn’t filming is what I got out of this story.

John Oliver will now be a series regular on Community. Hopefully he will have to defend the English soccer team and use a string of profanities in his counter-argument.

Justin Bieber showed the Twitterverse a shot of him guesting on the Season Premiere of CSI as some sort of jailbird. That’s right girls: he’s a bad boy too. Read more…

Futurama: Lethal Inspection

We don’t hate Hermes but we never really give him too much thought either. We know he for whatever reason absolutely loves accounting. We know he has a wife who always seems to be on the verge of leaving him for superficial and monetary reasons and a boring son. And that’s about it. By the conclusion of “Lethal Inspection” however, we love him. Read more…

Futurama: The Duh-Vinci Code

For the third week in a row Futurama makes fun of a pop culture phenomenon that took place during their long hiatus. While this process seems transparent at this point, “The Duh-Vinci Code” at least shed some light and advanced the story on the dynamic between Phillip J. Fry and his very very old and cranky great-great nephew Professor Farnsworth, who whether he realizes it or cares to admit or not is his father figure. Read more…

This Week In Television: July 13-18, 2010

Entertainment Weekly featured a promotional photo for the Lost epilogue coming out August 24th. Looks like Ben is still rocking the satchel.

This thing reveals which episodes the actors submitted to get their Emmy nominations. Jon Hamm and John Slattery went with “The Gypsy and The Hobo”. Christina Hendricks went with the one with the severed toe.


Beavis and Butt-Head
might possibly probably will be coming back! Music videos will be snarked on again!

Jay Leno’s ratings are virtually the same as Conan O’Brien’s one year ago. What else is there to say?

January Jones and Jason Sudeikis are dating. As Warming Glow said, Sudeikis must be doing his What Up With That? dance nightly. Read more…

Rewind: Mad Men Season 3 Episode 2 & 3: Love Among the Ruins & My Old Kentucky Home


[Just as a warning, this and all future rewinds, Mad Men or not, will contain spoilers throughout for not only this episode, but others as well.]

Why am I combining these two episodes you ask? Oh what was that? You didn’t say anything? I’ll tell you anyway. Love Among the Ruins had a few points that had to be made known to set up the rest of the season, but no event really stands out as important to the overall plot. A brief run through of Love Among the Ruins and then a full recap of an unbelievable, foreshadowy episode that is My Old Kentucky Home.

Louis C.K.: The B Sides

Louis C.K. is known for his hilarious stand-up specials and for his current hit show Louie. But most people are sadly unfamiliar with the long comedic road that got him to this point. The internet documents that C.K. is actually a prolifically talented screenwriter and filmmaker in addition to being a talented veteran comedian. Here are some of his greatest unknown hits.

Louie: So Old/Playdate

I’m not “old” and I don’t have children, so this show and particularly this episode shouldn’t really “speak to me.” However, the outwardly misanthropic, always uncomfortable male with a heart of gold always will. This is already a favorite show. Gold stars for everyone! Read more…
