When it comes to television I would like to consider myself pretty much an expert. People constantly ask me “You probably watch more TV then anyone else I know, how do you do it with law school?” Well its simple actually, the invention of the Tivo. Tivo has been the greatest invention of the last 20 years and I am willing to fight anyone that challenges me on this. Think about this, Thursday night is the most jammed packed TV night ever. On Thursday night alone there is, The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy, Shark, CSI, The Ultimate Fighter, etc. Now Marcia and I want to watch all of these shows. 10 years ago we didn’t have a chance unless we have two TVs and two VCRS. Fast-forward to today and all of these shows are watchable due to Tivo. Kudos to you Mr. Tivo Inventor. You are on same plane as Ben Franklin, Henry Ford, and the guy that invented String Cheese. You Rock.
And onto more about TV I have a bone to pick with you Bravo Network. Marcia and I try and watch the shows each other wants to watch as a why to spend more time together. Some have been hits (me making her watch 24 and now she loves it, and her asking me to watch Project Runway with her and I love it) while some have been misses (me asking her to watch Thank God You’re Here is the most current example and her asking me to get into Laguna Beach and the Hills, not going to happen). So I enjoy Project Runway, which if you didn’t know is a show hosted by Heidi Klum where potential Fashion Designers are given weekly challenges and the person who does the worst is voted off. This show has been a hit so they decided to spin it off into another show called Top Chef. Which follows the same premise but is about cooking (even though my problem with it is how can we has a home viewing audience tell how good something tastes?). Another classically good show. Now they are spinning this off into two other shows called Top Design (interior decorating) and Sheer Genius (hairstyling). These two not so good. I have an idea for you Bravo network, why don’t you come up with a new idea for an f’n show. What is next for you guys? Top Artist? Top Nanny? Top Porn Star starring Jenna Jameson? I mean honestly, where does it end with you assholes? Actually I wouldn’t mind watching Top Porn Star but it would have to be on HBO as a minimum.
Sunday Night TV Review:
Sopranos was excellent. They really set up where the whole season was going to go from here. A nice gang war between the New York Family run by Philly Leotardo (named after a fucking outfit you wear for ballet) against the Soprano Family of New Jersey is a great way to make the final season run its course. Tony is paranoid that someone is going to kill him (believing that his “nephew” Christopher could be the one) and AJ being bitch slapped figuratively from his girlfriend are great new plot lines for the rest of the year.
Entourage is finally BACK!!! This past episode was just classic. Everyone was involved in some storyline that was just superb. Turtle and Drama trying to score with the chicks from the dog park with Drama getting screwed over in the end, Eric and Vince having relationship problems because of Sloan calling Eric a “little Vince’s Boy” and Ari and Lloyd really bonding at a gay club. These all could have been separate episodes but for our viewing pleasure Entourage crammed them into one episode. So I have a question for you my reading audience…what was the line of the night from Entourage? I give you two options:
1. Ari to the Sitcom writer as he was trying to take advantage of Lloyd: “At Miller Gold we may be whores, but we aren’t pimps. Come on Lloyd we’re leaving.”
2. Eric: “What are you not going to talk to me?”
Sloan: “Oh I’ll talk, but don’t expect anymore.”

i'm going to go with ari's line...it has the potential for making a comeback in later audiences or making it onto a shirt...the front could say "MillerGold" and the back can say the line...or variations of the line...the men and women could have separate designs, you could basically really run with it...and then sloans line, while funny, she gave the lil smile at the end basically saying she is going to get after E as soon as the get to wine country or even before the dreadful seven hour roadtrip is up...ps i am def going to notre dame, i'll take your bet on the bc game
I don't really get Entourage. I've tried to watch it, and nothing ever happens. There's usually a minor problem that gets resolved by the end of the episode, and in the end they're all still in the same Entourage and Vince is always rich and famous. Eric has to tell Vince that he can't go on his wine trip...oh no! Guess Vince will have to fly an airplane to Cabo! What the fuck kind of a plot is that?
First of all, you could really use a copyeditor. Secondly, how the fuck can you watch Project Runway? Seriously.
listen Kaz...the Internet definitely trumps Tivo
