Ted is Better Off now that he has a second season!

better_off_ted_picWhen I heard that ABC had renewed “Better Off Ted” for a second season I was so happy!

It takes a special show to really entertain me and not since “Boston Legal” have I been so eager to tune in every week! The network really has not done Ted the justice it deserves with Hiatus’ and time slot changes!

It’s clear from the very first episode that this is not your ordinary sitcom 2 parts “The Office” 1 part “Big Bang Theory” Better Off Ted follows Ted a go getting single dad in his liaison position between upper management and the workers at Research and Development company “Veridian Dynamics” a work place that at first seems like a terrible company where big brother is constantly watching, leaves you by the end of the series wishing you could punch in your time card there every morning!

Round up of Sunday nights shows.

Entourage S06E03 “One Car, Two Car, Red Car, Blue Car

Tonight’s episode of Entourage seemed weird. I don’t know if it was the pacing and cutting of the episode but something seemed off.

Perhaps it was Ari acting all fatherly,Maybe it was because Turtle was off doing his own thing… The show is called Entourage but every one wants to prove they can hack it on their own without Vince.  TIP: If your friend is buying you Ferraris for your birthday, mooch off him for as long as possible!

Hung S01E04 “The Pickle Jar”

Episode 4 all ready huh? I’m not sure if I love or hate this show… It gives you just enough in the last couple of minutes to want to tune in the following week. The story seems sort of bland and dull. I guess the first couple of episodes had to set up the back story and characters though.. But if episode 5 doesn’t speed up the pace this show will be hung out to dry for me!

AT&T Blocking 4chan!

I occasionally surf 4chan for a bit of entertainment and I’m fully against censorship! American super ISP AT&T  is now censoring 4chan…

I hate to see what awaits these guys when the wraith of /b hits! Its gunna be one hell of a PR shitstorm!!

Who Watches the Watchmen? Not Me!

watchmen

Watchmen came out on DVD 4 days ago! I was hoping that I could post up my  opinion and review of the special directors cut this weekend, But apparently all  the  stores in Hamilton the city in New Zealand where I live don’t have it until  mid  August!

This really annoys me, my girlfriend and I are both huge fans, saw the movie  twice  at the cinema, lets just say I’m not that anti-movie piracy, but I wanted to  show my  support for the movie, and was willing to pay for it…

If this were Harry  Potter it would be a worldwide release date. Its not as though its a  low profile  movie! I should have ordered it off Amazon or something! I’m sure it  would get  here quicker than how ever long its going to take them to release it here!

Hell’s Kitchen Reality Heaven

hells-kitchen1 I’m not the biggest reality show fan, but have watched a few episodes of Hell’s Kitchen before and  have a general interest in cooking so I thought I’d give a season a try from the start.

I wish they wouldn’t censor all of the cussing in this show, people know Gordon Ramsay swears  and expect it when they watch his shows. It subtracts from the show when every second word is  cut out!

The contestants on the show were not very engaging, they just had no personality, most of them  spoke in monotone voices and sounded stupid as shit. America if they are your best to offer no  wonder you all just eat fast food!

Robert the huge guy who was welcomed back to compete again seriously needs to loose some  weight, he obviously needs to eat less of his own food. Hey man ever hear of portion control?

Our Lady Peace really burns!

Burn Burn by Our Lady Peace is their 7th Studio Album.

With tracks destined for the breakup montages in cheesy teenage sitcoms everywhere I  couldn’t help but feel as though this album was lacking something. I am obviously not the  target demographic for this sort of music, but the lyrics felt weak.

The bass lines in the songs were great and so was the tone of the guitars.

At times the lead singer almost had a bono-esqe sound to his voice, but fell short of having  the vocal range to back up the fun paint by numbers rock.

This album would be great for a lazy hungover Sunday on the couch, but the songs all start  sounding the same after a while…

My recommendation put on some Dashboard Confessional instead!
