Chest Bump Gone Wrong

Maybe it would have gone right if the dumbass wouldn't have used his shoulder for a chest bump.



Trailers for New Shows: September 6-12

Terriers:


Hellcats:


Nikita:

Premieres and Notables; September 6-12, 2010

Here we go: the minor nets (CW) and cable's gearing-up for the new season; trying to get ahead of the major networks, which will be starting in about two weeks.

And I'll probably regret saying this, but I'm also going to try to post trailers of the new shows shortly after these premieres posts. I tried embedding them into the premieres posts in the past, but that messed up the formatting of the posts.  So, I'll give it a shot (assuming they're on YouTube, which is one of the only websites that make it easy to post to a blog in this Facebook world).

Monday, 9/6

Mad; Cartoon Network. 7:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
After almost fifty years, the humor magazine gets an animated show.
I don't have high hopes for this, but I think it'll end up being more Mad-related than Mad TV ended up being.  (Not knocking Mad TV, which consistently thrashed SNL when it came to actually being funny...)

Hoarders; A&E. 8 & 9 pm CST. Season Premiere.

Aftermath (Biography; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.

Thintervention; Bravo. 9:15 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Work Out's Jackie Warner whips eight contestants into shape.


Tuesday, 9/7

360 Sessions; IFC. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Musicians discuss how their childhoods influenced their careers.

White Collar (USA; 8 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.

Sons of Anarchy; FX. 9 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.

Louie (FX; 10:30 pm CST). Season Finale.


Wednesday, 9/8

America's Next Top Model; The CW. 7 pm CST. 15th Cycle Premiere.
And by the end, we'll have yet another top model we'll never hear from again...

Hellcats; The CW. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A cheerleading drama with comedic elements.

Inside the NFL; Showtime. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.

Psych (USA; 9 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.

Terriers; FX. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Disgraced former cop Hank (Donal Logue) and reformed thief Britt (Michael Raymond-James) team-up to form an (unlicensed) private investigation firm.
I don't know much about it. FX has been a little tight on info.  I can say I'll go anywhere Logue goes; his work on Grounded For Life and Knights of Prosperity has earned that from me.  I have to give props to creator Ted Griffin (best known as the writer of Ocean's 11), but co-execproducer Shawn Ryan (creator of The Shield) is also a "must-see" type of guy.
It may be a little "off", being on FX and all, but it should be on your radar to at least give a try to the first few episodes.


Thursday, 9/9

The Vampire Diaries; The CW. 7 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.

Nikita; The CW.  8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Maggie Q stars as an assassin trained by a secret government agency and is now on the run from them.
I didn't watch the cult hit series or movie Le Femme Nikita this is based on, but there is quote a bit of buzz surrounding this new series because of them.
Worth checking out.

Destination Truth; Syfy. 8 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.

Rookie Blue (ABC; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.

And it got picked up for another season...

Beast Legends; Syfy. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.

COPS; Fox. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
I don't know what season it is, but I do know this will be episode number 800.
Eight-hundred!
That's a lot of shirtless rednecks...


Sunday, 9/12

MTV Video Awards; MTV. 8 pm CST. Special.
Normally I wouldn't mention this-- even if I didn't find it hilarious that MTV still airs an awards show about videos it doesn't air anymore-- but I like host Chelsea Handler, so I'll give her a "what's up".

True Blood (HBO; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.

My Boys (TBS; 9 & 9:30 pm CST). Season Finale.

Black Swan Trailer

I've already gone on Fandango and bought my tickets...

Chick on scooter rides down hill

I'll bet you can see where this is going...

Kid Prank Fails...



Didn't the kid sound like "Chunk" from The Goonies?

Sunday, August 29, 2010

Maybe Luke should have tried this

There may have been a lot less angst had Luke done what I just overheard how my kids handled the issue of Darth Vader's actions (while playing with their Legos of said characters):

"Dad-- why don't you stop with the killing? It's getting old."

Done.

Of course, Lucas may not have made as much coin going that route...

The Walking Dead Trailer

Finally found a decent-quality clip of this new series based on a comic book (and a good one at that).



Don't know how faithful it'll be to the comic, but if it follows the same tone (and it looks like it will), it's gonna be a winner.

I guess we'll find out on Halloween 2010, when AMC airs the 90-minute premiere, directed by Frank Durabont.

Premieres, Finales, Notables: August 30- September 5, 2010

Well, the 2010-2011 TV season ramps up soon. This will probably be the last "light" week for a while...

Monday, 8/30

Huge (ABC Family; 8 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.

WWE Raw (USA; 8 pm CST) has its 900th episode tonight.  I may not be a "rasslin'" fan anymore, but I do remember the classic events that happened on this show about eight-twelve years ago when I was a fan.  Love sports entertainment or hate it; you have to tip your hat to the fact that this show has produced 900 original episodes in a little over 15 years.  That's an achievement.

Dance Your Ass Off (Oxygen; 10 pm CST). Season Finale.
I guess all the ass got danced off...


Tuesday, 8/31

The show is moving ever closer to the end. Next season is its last.

I don't know... Something about previous winners coming back.
Don't have any idea what it's about...


Wednesday, 9/1

Changing Lanes; BET. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Minority drivers compete to join a racing team.

Plain Jane (The CW; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.


Thursday, 9/2

NBC's Community (7 pm CST) repeats one of the highlights of last season: the school-wide paintball competition.  Obviously, it was so great because we got to see a different side of the characters (so prior knowledge is helpful); but it also sent-up a lot of action movies during the episode, so even if you haven't seen the show before, you should get a kick out of it.

Futurama (Comedy Central; 9 pm CST).  Season Finale.
And it's the 100th episode...


Friday, 9/3

I'm not actually recommending this.  Truthfully, I can't recommend half the crap I type to these "Premieres" posts, but I found this one patently ridiculous: The Short List: 10 Cutest Celebrity Babies. 
This "special" ranks ten celeb children on their cuteness. 
Are you fuckin' kidding me? 
There is a point where people have to avoid this tripe like the plague--  or they just keep making more of it.
Really.  Do we need this kind of shit filling up the airwaves?


Saturday, 9/4

Thomas & Friends; PBS. 9:30 am (check local listings).  Season Premiere.


Sunday, 9/5

All American Handyman; HGTV. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Twenty "regular Joes/Jos" compete to prove they're the best handy-wo/men.

Leverage (TNT; 8 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.
The last three eps of Season 3 air in December.
Three eps left? Man, I hate how cable airs their shows...

Mel B: It's a Scary World; Style. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
The former "Scary Spice" gets a reality show.
Seriously, I can't recommend even half the shit I type in these things...



Faceplant and Nutcrunch

It's two, two, two fails in one.

Maybe McDonalds Should Just Serve McNuggets At 6 AM...

A little backstory: Post-New Years drunk chick + Hankerin' for McNuggets - McDonalds Breakfast Menu (no McNuggets) = not happy drunk chick.

This is from a security camera, so no audio...
Love the end. Just gives the next car their food; broken window and all...

Exciting, no? How about when adding dramatic music, courtesy of G4's Attack of the Show:

Ghost Hunters; Syfy. 8 pm CST. Mid-season return.

She's Got the Look; TV Land. 9 pm CST. Season Premiere.

Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry? ID.  9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
I have no idea what it's about-- or even what network it's on. "ID"?

The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards; NBC. 7 pm CST. Special.
I bring myself to watch these shows.  The system's messed up.
I'll watch the highlights-- and the odd great speech-- on YouTube.
Of course, if you're a sucker for this kind of thing, there are plenty of preshow stuff happening on TV Guide Channel and E!

Drop Dead Diva (Lifetime; 8 & 9 pm CST). Season Finale.

Amazing Wedding Cakes; WE TV. 9 pm CST. Season Premiere.
