Television
Posts about the crap I watch on the telly. At least it is the fake, scripted kind and not the reality, scripted kind.
My Charlie Brown Christmas
I know that pretty much everyone reads Scooby Speak, right?
Well, in case you don’t, I don’t want you to miss out on this gem that Joe found and posted over there.
No More Heroes
I am done. I am out. No more Heroes!
Of course, since Heroes is my favorite new show of this season, I am talking strictly in the blog sense and not in the viewing sense.
You see, I wasn’t kidding in my last post about Heroes that if commentsations weren’t going to happen, then I wasn’t going to continue posting. While I enjoy writing about the episodes, it does take a fair amount of time away from trolling match.com to craft each post, so I am going to abandon posting about it.
I am not into writing this stuff because I wannabe famous or an armchair critic. I was hoping it served as a watercooler substitute since peeps can’t talk this stuff up like we used to due to the ever growing needs of being a growned up and/or parent. Fostering a little corner of the Interwebs for you to post your thoug... Continue reading »
ATHF: Antenna
Hey, it’s all ATHF all the time here at OB1og.
Well, just because I haven’t posted in a while and it is easy to catch up on this fashizzle, so you have the two previous below and tonight’s here.
Check this one out. Not hilarious, but not bad either. I think they are going up and down on each one. Read what you want in to that.
ATHF: Bart Oats
Okay, this one clinches it. This season officially sucks.
A very Carl-centric episode and it just wasn’t funny at all. Seems like they were trying to riff on Carl as Scrooge and Bart Oats — I’m sure Giants’ fans get it — as the Ghost of Christmas Past.
The guys need to go back to doing the good drugs when they write this stuff.
At least Frisky Dingo is consistently funny, but then, it is new so those guys haven’t run out of ideas yet. I’m sure it will get there too…
ATHF: Moonajuana
I have to agree with Jen that this episode just wasn’t that good. I have to say that I always enjoy the Mooninite episodes the most and I was psyched when I saw this one coming up, but after a couple viewings, it just wasn’t that funny.
Ignignokt and Err rotating around, doing the usual 2-D play, was fun and so were some of their lines, but overall, not so much.
I’ll put this one in the medium goodness category. I think that puts the tally for the season so far at 2 good, 2 medium and the rest suck.
Best. Billboard. Ever.
As many of you know, I drive a long distance to and from work every day. Well, now I have this billboard to greet me on my trip down I-93 South into Boston each night and it puts a huge smile on my face. It showed up three or four weeks ago and I finally stopped last week to take some shots after work.
At night, Ignignokt is illuminated by black light, which is probably the first time I have ever seen this done. During the day, he’s his usual green self. He’s censored all the time. Click that link for better detail.
And, it gets better. An Err billboard showed up last week on I-93 South after Boston. I am going to try to get some shots of him this week.
This show might pretty much suck now, but this almost excuses it…
Heroes: Homecoming
Worst epsiode ever…
Just kidding. It was okay, but nothing as great as what has come before it, which is why it has taken me a while to write about it. Another reason is I am not feeling the love on this from you readers, so I don’t know why I bother. I mean, I know more than a few of you watch this every week, yet no one besides Ed really comments.
The same goes for Ed‘s posts on Lost. No one besides me has any thoughts on it? I find that hard to believe and even if you agree with everything we write or you have nothing to add, you could just let us know that you agree. We get more comment Spam than regular comments these days, so why do we bother?
Sorry for the rant, but it i... Continue reading »
ATHF: Grim Reaper Gutters
The very start of this one sucked with Meatwad and Master Shake reminiscing about stuff that didn’t really happen to them. Frylock finally shows up and shows them a clip of stuff he did to save their asses in the past and half I recognized and half I didn’t, so that must be new stuff in there for the purpose of proving the point, but some of it looked damned funny and why aren’t they making that?
Eventually, the lure Carl over with a Tera Patrick guest appearance and the Grim Reaper Gutter guy snuffs him out, which was damn funny.
Oh, wait, speaking of damn funny… the picture up there. That was damn funny. Can you tell what that is? No? Hmm…too bad you can’t watch this one on the web anymore.
Up this Sunday night, or right now on [adultswim.com], is “Moonajuana.” Go take a hit…
Pam v Karen
Picked up a link in the boston.com Viewer Discretion blog tonight. I don’t normally read that, but I clicked on a lead-in link about NBC in-show ads which I complained about in my last Office post.
Anyway, you can buy a shirt for the camp you fall into; Team Karen or Team Pam. Not sure the waste of money is worth it, but if you are so inclined, here’s a direct link.
Unlike the blogger, I’m on Team Karen right now. Jim might as well “totally hit that” now, while he can, because we know she’ll be gone eventually, and then have Pam later…
The Office: The Merger
Wasn’t I just ripping on Ed a little bit with respect to taking too long to post a Lost review?
Yeah… that was me. Now I feel like a hypocrite as it has taken me nearly a week to post this, not that there was really any clamor for it, nor did I promise it on any kind of schedule. So anyway, here it is…
Given the build up that “Branch Closing” left us with, I was hoping for something that was at least as good, but “The Merger” fell a little short and I am not sure how I feel about that. Don’t get me wrong, I laughed quite a bit, but then I also had a lot of uncomfortable moments too.
My uncertainty about the enjoyment is due to the discomfort. I couldn’t tell if it was always intentional or if it was just because some things didn’t fly like... Continue reading »
