Parks and Rec is a great watch, but not exactly top notch. Yea, i rhyme somtimes. But really, it is a good show. It is part two of TTT (Terrific TV Thursday. I renamed it until someone can do better.) It follows Part one of TTT which is Community. Parks and Rec is funny, the story is good, but i feel like its lacking something. While writing this post, I realized that I like community better, which suprises me, but is definitley true. And I dont get it, Amy Poehler is my all time favorite female comedian, Aziz Ansari is also hilarious and Rashida Jones is really good as well. So why don't I love this show. It's just dull sometimes I guess. You don't REALLY need to watch all the ones before it, just three or four to be caught up. Unless you have to be caught up all the way, which is me. I only hope that they can step it up, because a cancellation is totally possible, I am the only person that I know that watches it EVERY week. But I have to. Otherwise I would be cheating TTT.

I am now calling Thursday: "Super TV Thursday"


Why? Because thats when NBC airs its top tier shows, and and America gets to see how the Survivors on the Samoan Islands are doing. Its the night when your television unleashes the best of the best, its "Super TV Thursday".


Ok So I might be over doing at a little bit, but seriously: Community, Parks and Rec, The Office, 30 Rock. And During that stretch of TV goodness is FlashForward and Survivor, and later is MTV's night of cool shows. Its just a good night for TV overall. Its the best night for TV's to put their best shows too because Thursday is like fridays little brother. Its not quite friday, but it has the same feel, all day you hear people saying "man it feels like a friday doesn't it" Except because there is still one more day in the week, people cant go out. They stay in. And guess what they do. Yep. They watch TV. I know this post doesnt make too much sense because I have only talked about half of the shows on Super TV Thursday, but I promise that will change.


Oh and one final note, Im not sure if Super TV Thursday is the best name for this day of awesomeness, but its the best thing that I can think of. Other possibilities include: Epic TV Thursday, Awesome TV Thursday, Crazy TV Thursday, Basically any cool/inspiring/positive word TV Thursday will do. Something more creative would be better, and Im totally open to suggestions. But for now, its Super TV Thursday, or STVT. Anyway, I've gone completely off track with this post, but soon i will be posting about some of the shows I mentioned in this post. And get pumped for the next "SUPER TV THURSDAY"!!!

Hulu is an amazing invention for an avid TV watcher like myself, and hopefully to everyone else. If you don't know what Hulu is, its a website that provides episodes of popular, (and not so popular) TV shows after they air. For example, say Im at a Jay-Z concert that I just couldn't pass up, and I'm already DVR'ing Survivor and The Office, what about poor old [INSERT FAVORITE SHOW]? HULU! Just wait a day, (Sometimes Two) and go on Hulu and you can watch your show, with far less commercials than regular TV. Keep in mind, Not all shows are on Hulu, but many are. Most NBC, Fox, USA shows, plus a lot of MTV, Comedy Central and more. Its not as nice as watching in the comfort of your living room on a real TV, but for me its good enough. It allows for a quick high quality viewing experience. Sometimes it can be choppy, but not often. You have the choice to watch many of the shows in higher quality,and sometimes you can "Dim the Lights" which darkens the screen outside of what you are watching, like in the movies when the lights go down. There are also short clips if you want to watch your favorite scene from a certain episode and even some extra behind the scenes content, which really tops of a great website. Sometimes I just go there and discover a new show. So if you forget about a show, or your sister removes your recording of 30 Rock so she can record an interview with Kate Goselin, check Hulu out. And Yes. The Kate Goselin thing happened.

I. Love. Glee. I have been getting so much crap for liking this show, and I could not care less. Because the show is amazing. There is something in it for everyone. For the people that only watch One Tree Hill, The OC, Gossip Girl and Greek, you have the drama, relationshipy side, which is a huge part of the show. For the Broadway fanatic, (I know several, so don't say they don't exist) another huge side of the show is the amazing singing, dancing and musical numbers that are sprinkled amongst the episode(not randomly, they tie into the story of course). The comedy fan will enjoy the hilarity that ensues no matter where the hilarity is occurring. All the characters are diverse, and the fact that none of the students are well know actors makes the show more believable. For some reason, the show has been on some sort of hiatus. I'm not sure if its some sort of marketing strategy to build suspense for the finale, or if they messed, which is really unlikely. Anyway, use the time to cath up on Hulu, its on Wednesdays at nine.

Community is so great. Im not gonna lie, at first I really didn't like it. It felt like they were trying too hard with the joke delivery, while the actual jokes themselves were stale. But the show fell into its place, and really love it now. The characters are so great: Abed's hilarious antics sprinkled throughout the episode keep it from becoming boring. The interactions between the various characters are so amusing, and new characters are always being added to keep it fresh.

Another cool thing about Community is that, kind of like how the beginning of every office episode has a funny little sketch, Community has one at the end of every episode. Unfortunately, when I DVR it, the funny ending gets cut off. Even with all the great comedy, the drama is able to be taken seriously, instead of the drama in most comedies which is usually corny. This show was good enough to go from After, the office, to before. SO WATCH IT! (at 8/7c on NBC)

The Amazing Race is a reality show that consists of eleven teams of two, racing around the world. Each team has some sort of relationship, like: "Brothers" or "Father and Son" or "Dating on and Off", and so on. The teams goal is to be the first to arrive at various checkpoints, by foot, taxi, boat, plane, or however they can. The first team wins some sort of prize. The last team is either eliminated or has some disadvantage in a later round, like having to start an hour later or something. I recently watched the 2 hour premier and absolutley loved it. The teams are diverse, and it is so much fun to watch them interact, while also trying to be the first to the finish line. The challenges are creative, and intense. Anyways, check out this Emmy Award winning show on Hulu or at 8/7c on CBS.

This movie, is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. And I saw it yesterday. It was phenomenal, the violence might have been over the top, but compared to other Quentin Tarentino movies, it wasn't actually that bad. You can tell a movie is good if you are thinking about it in the car ride home. Im still thinking about it now. The job of a movie is to entertain you, and extract emotions from you: laughter, sadness, horror. It did all of these things, and well. Just the idea of a group of Jewish guys slaughtering Nazi's is cool by itself, but when you add in the dramatic shots and music, with outstanding acting, you get a great movie. If I give actual examples of parts I liked, I might spoil the movie, so i'll hold back. It was very long, but the use of splitting the movie up into chapters made it seem shorter. I really loved this movie, and if you haven't seen it, stop reading this, and go see it. Right now. GO.

Is Awesome. Psych is Awesome. You might of heard of it, maybe not, but I really like it. If you haven't heard of it, ill give an ultra brief summary. Two guys, partners and buddies, help the cops solve crimes, one is kind of psychic, light hearted tone. USA at 10/9c and it reallly is great. The style is very similar to other USA shows, (shots, color, acting, directing, music) but that is no deterrent. I love the snappy one liners even if they are considered cheesy by some. The two main characters are played fantastically, and its just a great way to end the week. Definitly check it out if you have time.

So I just watched the Survivor Samoa premiere and I dont really have much to say. Only because its happened 21 times before this, so all of the seasons are starting to blend into one in my mind. I love survivor, but really, besides where they are (and honestly the surroundings always look exactly the same) whats changed? Theres the one scheming caniving guy, that stabs everyone in the back. Theres the law student. The doctor. The old guy. The old woman. The southern one. The heart-throb and the three ditsy girls that never make it past round 6 that follow the heart-throb around. And mark my word, this never changes. But I still watch, because... im addicted? Not really sure, but I do know that jeff Probst better shake things up this season. I mean isn't he getting bored? I guess you cant really get bored when you have enough money to buy an Island. Any way, watch it online, but i dont really think its worth watching on TV. Only reason to: Rumors say this MAY be the last season. Who knows? Jeff Probst. But still.

The Office premiere! I was so excited to watch this that I completely forgot to DVR survior, let alone watch it. This is probably my favorite show aside from 24, so when I say excited i really mean excited. So I sat down to watch the show, and I instantly started laughing. Im assuming you watch the office, or at least have seen one episode, if you haven't im not really sure what to say to you. But anyway, the little snippet at the beggining of each episode, that only has to do with the plot 50 % of the time, was hilarious this episode. SO funny! The episode was not as good. It was probably an 8 of 10, which is really good for normal standards, but since the office has set such a high bar for itself, an 8 is not great. There were definitly some laugh outloud moments, but it wasn't "Casino Night" funny, or "Beach Games" funny. It was good, just not great, if you missed it definitly check it out online. I hope this season takes it up a notch. I gotta go watch Survivor.

During one of the Us Open games, Serena Williams second serve was called a Foot Fault by one of the lineman. This put the game at match point, which apparently prompted Serena to lash out at the judge. You couldn't really make out what she was saying, but it had something to do with shoving the ball somewhere, and i'll leave it at that. Anyway, she was disqualified, leaving Kim Clijster the victor, making it impossible for Serena to keep her title. Im not saying I think this, but maybe she did this so that she could have an excuse for losing that didnt include skill, because keep in mind it was Match point against her. Thats no way to represent the Williams name, come on now. Heres the VIDEO

I just watched the clip of Kanye West doing one of the most dbaggish things one could do. If you haven't heard, he went on stage during Taylor Swifts acceptance speech, stole the microphone, and said: "Yo Talyor, Im really happy fo you, ima let you finish...But Beyonce had one of the best videos of ALL TIME!...one of the best videos of all time" He then shrugged and walked off stage like the boos coming from the crowd didn't affect him. Really Kanye? Was it neccesary? At all? I mean, they had a shot of Beyonces reaction, even she looked shocked at the douchiness of this move. We all know who you, are, you dont have to pull any stunts. But really? I mean i'm still going to listen to your music because...its really good, but...really? Wow.

I haven't posted anything in a while, mainly because there isn't much on TV over the Summer, but I also have been away, but now that the Fall TV schedule is starting up, I will be posting more. Fall is great for TV, it is the start of a lot of new shows, making their premiers, Glee, or Community, for example. Then there are the returning favorites, like House, Heroes, and 90210. I personally am excited for the return of The Office on September 17, but really, i'm just excited for the return of TV in general. Oh TV, I missed you so.

If you haven't heard of Jon and Kate plus 8, it is a TLC show that follows the lives of a Family of 8. Twins + Sextuplets make the parents lives hard, but they make it out alive every episode. Until now. Well they're still alive, but you know what I mean. Jon and Kate are heading towards divorce, at least thats what it looks like. The show originally sprouted from a discovery health special called "Twins and Sextuplets," the purpose for Jon and Kate was to fund the extremely expensive lifestyle that comes with having 8 kids. It was so popular, that it quickly grew into a TLC show. Everywhere you go, tabloid magazines are showing the couple, Making comments about the supposedly attention loving Kate like: "From 'Mom' to Monster" , "Inside Jon's Prison" Or even "Kids beg : daddy don't go!" 

James Thomas Jr., became a millionaire May 17, 2009. He became the first contestant in the history of survivor to not receive one single tribal council vote, and he got all seven jury votes, so vote wise, he played a perfect game. My DVR did not record the end, so i had to go to Hulu to find out who won the next day, but I was not surprised. JT and Stephen both played very good games, but JT out played Stephen by far, socially and physically. I also think his noble choice of taking the harder route and choosing Stephen to come with him helped him with the jury. He even played so well, he won an additional $100,000 for being voted the player of the game by viewers. Now all I have to do is wait for next season, which is supposed to be "Survivor Samoa". I think if I was Mark Burnett, I would make some twist, like make it somewhere cold, or just something they haven't done yet. But thats just what I think.

Meh. That's probably the best way to describe that movie. (meh is a word by the way: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=meh) So anyway, the movie was mediocre. I love TV, and I don't go to the movies a lot, so when I do, I like to be entertained. This one just didn't do it for me. Yes, it was action packed, which I liked, but I thought the plot was a little weak. I also felt like the usage of green screen and CGI effects were very obvious in the earlier scenes. There were some homages to the previous movies that I liked, and all the different machine variants brought a very intense feel. But other than that, it wasn't great. Not bad, just not good. Another thing was that the Schwarzenegger cameo felt extremely forced and out of place. They could have worked it into the story much better, instead of just shoving him into a random scene like there was no where else for him to go. It wasn't even actually him, it was some sort of special effects magic trick. Christian Bale was good, and the rest of the acting wasn't bad. Any way, scale of 1 to 10? 6.5, 7ish tops. See it if you want, but unless you are a big terminator fan, OR, have absolutely nothing better to do, I don't recommend it. You might as well just stay home and watch TV.

I am not much of an American Idol fan, but the show has a way of working its way into your life, especially since it started receiving more votes than actual presidential elections, so I felt obligated to talk about this event. I must say that I did really enjoy the outcome of this season of American idol. I didn't really favor either Adam or Kris, I just tend to root for the underdog, and I'm glad to see that the this time, the underdog won. I also heard that Adam Lambert, before his appearance on American Idol, was the understudy for a large part on the very popular Broadway show, Wicked. I think a big part of American Idol is viewers seeing Average Joe's become Stars of the stage. When a contestant enters the show already half way there, at least for me, it kills a lot of the interest. However, Kris had already self-released an album before coming on the show, so I guess its not fair for me to say that about Adam. Anyway, Kris Allen, 23 from Conway Arkansas, Seems nice, great singer, hope he goes far unlike many of the past American Idols whose careers withered away after a couple of months.
