Word that the NBC show 30 Rock is in danger has already started. This show is one of the few remaining true television comedies. Like Arrested Developement this show uses true wit and intelligent writing instead of laugh tracks and old recycled jokes.
Tina Fey has found her true calling, her comedic timing is top notch. The writing is so sharp and fresh I look forward to watching this show every week. How can Two And Half Men stay on the air and have a huge audience when 30 Rock delivers original material that is refreshingly adult.
Let s hope this show will pick up some steam and people will catch on.
BELOW ARE TWO CLIPS OF 30 ROCK , PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW!
Famous nobody/reality show loser Elisabeth Hasselbeck tried to look cool today on The View when a discussion about John Kerry s remarks regarding the troops came up.
Elisabeth proceeded to call Sen. John Kerry, Mel Gibson without the booze slamming his flip-flops, Elisabeth then defended President Bush for his higher IQ and better grades than those that Kerry received while the two were at Yale. Joy Behar was having none of it as she jumped in to correct her.
It was another predictable and ignorant response from the usually droll Hasselbeck. With Star Jones gone, Elisabeth has taken the title of the one and only douchebag on The View . I get the different ladies, different views theme, but why did they have to bring in a reality show contestant?
I am being petty, but she bugs big time.
As you may or may not know, Elisabeth is the token right wing Republican on the show. I am still unsure how she can relate a racist, alcoholic, spoiled Hollywood actor/director to Kerry just because he is against the war.
She really didn t have anything intelligent to say about his comment, instead she came off as a Bush groupie . Her narrow minded attitude and the ridiculous reasoning behind her opinion was aggravating. I wanted to reach through my t.
v. and shake her. I mean, did she really compare Bush s I.
Q. to Kerry s? It came off as a childish reaction and exposed her as the fake t.
v. personality she truly is.
But once again, without skipping a beat, the shows savior Rosie O Donnell changed the subject by singing a Barbara Streisand song.
I hate Babs, but I love Rosie s grounded personality. If it wasn t for her, this show would be in big trouble! And what was Barbara Walters doing while this went on?
She put her head down in exasperation, homegirl is way too old for this drama.
The View has come a long way in its 10 years on the air. I could not watch the show when Star Jones was a host because she used to come off more smug and icy than Elisabeth.
The ladies of The View have finally found their rhythm and it is a much better show now that Star Jones is gone. When dramatic moments happen like this one did today, you get the feeling that even when they disagree they actually do get along. That is something that obviously never happened with Star Jones in the cast, her abrubt exit is proof of that.
I hope this show wins the Emmy this year, it has been nominated before but has never won! Not just because it deserves it, but because you know it would piss off Star Jones! The show that is possibly getting the boot?
Studio 60 , by Aaron Sorkin. I do not care for Aaron Sorkin t.v.
shows. I am not a big fan of his frantic, busy, fast paced filming or sporadic dialogue. The rumors are that there is only 3-4 more episodes left.
This news does not bode well for NBC, who is suffering from bad programming choices and failed shows.
I personally think the show gives too many details away, and the subject matter (a backstage peek at an SNL like show is unbelievable. This premise wears thin as the viewer is constantly thrown obscure industry jokes, quick camera moves and a too detailed intimate look at a comedy variety show and its actors.
Last week, Studio 60 had 7.7 million viewers. Compare that with competing CSI: Miami , with 17.
5 million. This may be due to the competition or the night it was scheduled to air, either way NBC is in trouble! If you are a fan of this show, enjoy it while you can.
Men In Trees and What About Brian on ABC.
Friday Night Lights on NBC.
I was looking forward to the Madonna interview on Oprah.
As a huge Madonna fan I wanted to hear about the adoption from the Madge s mouth. First let down? The interview was via satellite.
That is a pretty shitty trick, I assumed we would get Madonna in the studio, so the interview came off a bit cold.
Secondly, Madonna was OBVIOUSLY reading a script. Her acting was more obvious and just as bad as her movies.
She had a lot of beautiful, real things to say about her family, her love for their new child David and the process of adoption. All of these things I appreciated as a fan. But the cold nature of Oprah s questions and the set up of the interview were down right ghetto.
This was a platform where Madonna could set the record straight, and she did. She also spoke about the hardships of adoption and the how the process is corrupt and not beneficial to the children. At this point I am on Madonna s side.
This was not a publicity stunt, and Madonna handled it with class.
Looks like the gay community has another out friend in Hollywood. The #1 show in America is Grey s Anatomy and the hot boy factor is insane.
I don t watch the show, but like to know who is out and about in Hollywood.
I read the recent article in People magazine where actor T.R.
Knight, who plays Dr. George on the show, came out. I personally think he is hot and he s got some big balls to come out considering his show is such a hit.
Check out the pics that are all over the net below!

Knight and his lover!
Some of you may be asking, what the hell is Squidbillies ? Out of all the crazy nasty cartoons out there, this one is the most under rated.
It has a sloppy animation style, but writing that is insane and very funny.
I love the theme song and supporting characters; the sherrif, Granny and Rusty s mom who lives on a matress in a junk yard. The background art is actually pretty and looks like modern art with a cartoon spin, seriously they are gorgeous.
Squidbillies is about Earlie Cuyler and his recently reunited son Rusty. There really isn t much of a back story or reasoning to the show other than making fun of rednecks and country folk. Which is fine with me because I love a great crystal meth or incest joke.
Just kidding .kinda. In every episode Earlie s hat changes.
My personal favorite hat saying,, Breathe If You re Horny . CLASSIC!
Granny: Don t you dare hurt him!
Earlie Cuyler: Oh, and what s your saggy mouth gonna say about it?
Granny: Ablomandelebicus, Pentoculus, Benturpenoise, Farntormion, Crisco, Dophenecta, Glabbafontonion, Smectarufus, Fontanox, Chicken Dance, Trenoctor, Pontallafamarion, Tudonox, Mellicanisis!
Earlie Cuyler: You lucky bitch!
That s the one thing you could have said.
This show isn t as popular and subversive as Drawn Together or South Park , but it has an originality to it that is refreshing despite the wacky, wiggly drawings. I don t know if Comedy Central is bringing this show back to their Adult Swim line up, which would be a shame if they do not, because this is a fun and naughty show.
I'm your average pop whore, star fucker and Burning Man douche bag. This is me in a nut shell..
."help I 'm trapped in a nut shell, ahhhhh!!
!". Really though, I have a high school education, but am sharp as a tack and smarter than your average gay dude.
I come from a highly regarded carnie/hippy/white trash background raised in the ghetto suburb of Fremont (in the SF east bay). I have an unlimited, unchallenged supply of pop culture references, Oscar trivia and just plain useless information. I love to debate politics and people's personal view's on movies I think are shit (any Romantic Comedy, especially if it stars Julia Roberts).
