It doesn’t seem like I have been doing this for two years, but yeah, there it is. Today marks the start of my third year of blogging in the tubes. I guess, maybe I am clogging the tubes. Never mind.
I felt I needed to put something out here to mark the occasion, only, this isn’t it.
What what what?
Yeah, this isn’t it. I meant to have a bright new design up here today, but work and sleep conspired against me and I just couldn’t finish it enough to put out here. I have a good amount of the shiny bits done, but I am way behind on the new bits. The new bits are going to have to be rolled out over time, so no worries.
I guess, what I want to avoid is what happened with this space last year in that I started on a live redesign and didn’t keep on doing it. Sure, I made little changes here and there, but overall,... Continue reading »
Frisky
As in Dingo. Frisky Dingo.
It means nothing to do with the show. Which is funny, right? Yes.
I was gonna steal “Frisky Business” from this week’s Entertainment Weekly sidelight… um, blurb(?)… well whatever, it is under “Critic’s Corner” in the DVD section and written by Ken Tucker (I’m assuming that’s who KT is… which the on-line version confirms). Phew… but I didn’t.
Anyway, this is validation, no? I love that he gives Dingo a straight “A” and with this to back me up, I will again beg you to watch this show! Eleven minutes people! That’s it. These are quick things. Program your DVR to record them and enjoy at your leasure. Continue reading »
ATHF: Couple Skate
Sucked. Again.
Maybe Ed is right. This show is over.
The crypt keeper type dude is named Markula and the teens enlist Carl to come to their rescue in his cave somewhere. Apparently they won’t pay him the October rent because he won’t fix a gas leak in the house, so he has them hostage. Meanwhile, new tenant Paul, a giant monster, has trashed the house and stolen all the copper pipe to sell for a fix. Carl comes to Markula’s 4040 birthday and kills him with garlic champagne.
Now, does that sound funny? Okay, how about it Paul is angry because he’s going thru a divorce? No? How about that he squishes Carl’s head off at the end? No?
Yeah…
This week’s is named “Redickulous”, so… you know… yeah… I’m all about Frisky Dingo now anyway.

Not really, no.
Well, not in so much a way as before?
Ah, who cares, it is just a post about some televisionic observations I have had of late (and maybe later…).
So, I was watching Heroes last night, which has been so very good the past three epsiodes, and NBC is running ads for their newest show sure to fail, Raines. Now, was the pitch for this show something along the lines of “let’s put Medium, Tru Calling and The Ghost Whisperer in the blender and sprinkle with a little bit of Monk… oh, and we’ll get Jeff Goldblum!” Really?
Anyone else watching The Black Donnelly’s? I feel compelled to watch, you know, as an Irishman… yeah. Well, if you are, do we really need Joey Ice Cream as a narrator? The sudden insertion of himself into a scene, with subsequent character reaction, is unnecessary and seems forced as a way to try and distinguish the storytelling as unique or different. The story being told does the job just fine… which is to say, mediocre at best. Not sure this one is going to fair much better than S... Continue reading »
ATHF: Bart Oats
Okay, this one clinches it. This season officially sucks.
A very Carl-centric episode and it just wasn’t funny at all. Seems like they were trying to riff on Carl as Scrooge and Bart Oats — I’m sure Giants’ fans get it — as the Ghost of Christmas Past.
The guys need to go back to doing the good drugs when they write this stuff.
At least Frisky Dingo is consistently funny, but then, it is new so those guys haven’t run out of ideas yet. I’m sure it will get there too…
Tellyman 10.4
I had a brilliant post written for last week’s shows, but Firefox 2.0 just took a big dump on me and it is all gone. I didn’t save a draft in WordPress either; gone means totally gone. I was trying to load up cbs.com and an episode of How I Met Your Mother so I could get a vidcap for the lead picture, but when it started loading their InnerTube — which came first, Inner or You? — page, it locked up because I was missing the RealPlayer plug-in. I tried IE first, but same issue except it wouldn’t set Windows Media Player as my preference there (it gave me a choice between the two). I hated RealPlayer before, which is why I didn’t have it installed, and now I doubly hate it. I’ll never install it again. Ever.
Of course, it is not like I just lost a term paper or novel or something like that. I didn’t even shout, snap a remote in half, smash a keyboard or punch a door. The post was mostly the same... Continue reading »
