Just a quick blurb on a couple TV shows. First of all let’s all just say it, Entourage sucks now. I mean the did FINALLY change the plot. Until now it was the same thing over and over. Ari finds Vince a movie, he rejects it on principle, Ari fights to get it back….repeat. Sprinkle in weed smoking and a naked chick once in a while. Great. But even the new plot bores me.
Now, Californication is probably my second favorite show these days. Great show and Hank Moody is a classic character that I never tire of and the storyline is great. Always changing and always hilarious in that dark way I love. If you have not watched this show, get on it. It’s now more than half through season two and getting good.
Last, Weeds. Now I just got on this train over the last month and it is now my favorite by far. (Post Curb) Dark comedy and by far the most interesting characters and stories of any of the shows. Very original and you almost never know what will happen next. It’s one shit storm after another. Hilarious and dramatic all at once. I have watched the first three seasons and will begin four soon. Season four looks to start a whole completely new angle. Can’t wait to see it and for those that have seen it all, don’t blow it for me.
Anyway, I hope there is a new Curb Your Enthusiasm soon. I have not heard if it’s coming back but that will always be #1 on my list. Glad to say I now watch zero reality TV and I am smarter for it. But to me Showtime has now taken over HBO for best series. Not even close.
I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you’re smarter for not watching reality TV. Seriously, have you seen what’s on nowadays? Spinoffs of spinoffs – Real Chance at Love? WTF? And Coolio raising three teenage daughters? Who cares, he looks like a retarded black chicken with his hair sticking out of his every tattered baseball cap.
These days EVERYBODY has their own reality show. Personally, the only one I’d be interested in would be called “Steve and Mark Tell You to Shut the Fuck Up and Get a Life.”
P.S. Celia is freaking hilarious. Great character.
Now THAT is a show I would watch. Yet another great idea.
Celia is great but Doug is the man. Always a bong in arms length. Also did you notice that whenever ANY character drinks from a straw it always makes the empty cup sucking sound. Odd.
Hah, I didn’t notice that. Probably one of those TV things, like when somebody gets hung up on the phone, it immediately makes that dialtone noise.
Another great character is Leon from Curb. Haven’t heard anything about a new season…we fucking need it though I’ll tell you that.
