Tellyman 10.3
I am quite a few days late with this, but my excuse is I didn’t want to be a total dork and blog on my *vacation.* I guess I could have blogged this stuff on Monday or Tuesday, since technically, they were work days, but I figured I would rather get out into the city and do my best to get mugged or something. It didn’t happen.
I did meet a real nice girl in the Red Light District though. She was tall and had a deep voice and a hint of five o’clock shadow under her caked on foundation. Wait a minute, did I say RLD? I meant Ghirardelli Square. She was working the candy checkout counter. I suspect she was a he, but she/he/it sure did look purrdy from a distance. I’m not even kidding.
Well, on to the regular scheduled programming. I actually caught up on my flight out to Oakland by watching the previous night’s Earl, Office and Smallville on my iPod. It worked out pretty well, except I think I sca... Continue reading »
Tellyman 10.2
It was a rough week for television viewing for me. While I was able to watch everything, it was only thanks to Media Center dutifully fulfilling its, err… duties. I had to work late pretty much every night this week, so I was playing catch up all week and now that I am caught up, I can bore you with my thoughts.
This week’s How I Met Your Mother was weak, until the end. The end made it worth it because you thought for the entire episode that Ted Moesby, Architect was dogging Robin after their first fight. Barney started off the episode by telling Ted that he should advertise the fact that he is an architect since chicks think it is hot. Ted tests it out by chatting up a girl at the bar and Barney is actually right. The episode then follows Ted, Marshall and this girl for the rest of the night with Robin and Lily hot on their trail.
Come to find out at the end that it was Barne... Continue reading »
Tellyman 10.1
At the start of this, it wasn’t necessarily my intention to do this as an ongoing series under the heading of “Tellyman,” but it would seem to have stuck. I was going to change up titles on a post-by-post basis, but since Ed also came up with “Tele Mundo,” and I got nothing else, I’m going to stick with “Tellyman.” I’ll adjust to use my month-dot-week nomenclature like “Fanboy Fodder” since during repeats, I may not post. I do find it odd that we both thought up the same name though. Spooky…
Week three of the new television season is complete and three shows made their way into my schedule. Kidnapped made its exit due to cancellation, or at least the news that it would not continue past its original 13 episode order. I wasn&#... Continue reading »
Tellyman: Week Two
So, continuing a new theme of talking about shows on the telly every week, this is week two. In case you don’t get it, my title this week and last is trying to play on the Batman: Year One and Year Two comic stories. I’m not Tellyman and I don’t know who is. Maybe he has utility belt, but not a slightly-too-young-sidekick.
Yeah, I know…
I don’t know how much longer I will really keep this up, but I at least planned on doing it for the first three weeks since debuts are spread out over that time. Anyway, here’s what I think of week two…
This past week saw the series debut of Heroes and season premiere of Smallville, so I guess an extra dose of comic book type viewing. The image above is from a web comic on the nbc.com site to promote Heroes. The book is penciled by Michael Turner and K... Continue reading »
Tellyman: Week One
For most of us, this week kicked off the first week of the new television season. Sorry, I don’t watch any of the crap on FOX, although that will change when 24 starts up until they kill off Eddie.
Oops, check that… I have watched the first two episodes of ‘Til Death. The giant from Ray doesn’t nothing for me, but I was interested to see what Eddie Kaye Thomas would do on the show and that Kat Foster, who plays his wife, is a little cutie. Thomas is playing it too straight as an assistant principal at the school in which the giant next door neighbor teaches. Of course, the show sucks much ass and I wasted 44 minutes — thank you Media Center — of my life. I knew it would, but I had to make sure. I’m still bitter that Off Centre was cancelled over on UPN, but whatever.

I saw this movie a little over a month ago with my super ex-girlfriend. This is funny for two reasons; one being the obvious and the other because I also took in The Break-Up with her. Checking out that one was my idea because I thought it would be more comedy than anything else, but that was so not the case. This one was her choice, probably mostly because she’s a Luke Wilson fan.
Watching movies about breaking-up with your Ex is like watching a movie with sex on a first date; a bit uncomfortable. Of course, that was probably more true of the other movie than this one. Remember, I got “smacked in the face” by that one.
Anyway, I just never got around to writing about it and I figured I’d leave it until later. Well, later is now and I’m sure this will be out on DVD pretty soo... Continue reading »
‘Til Tuesday
I was having a hard time with a title for this post, so I went with ‘Til Tuesday because I can’t wait for Tuesday. A few things are going happen on Tuesday. It’s the start of August and I’ll be going to the Sox game with Joe, but most importantly, I am going to have me some coffee.
Yup, I’m done with my coffee *boycott* and will be back on the wagon after a five week layoff. I am going to celebrate with a large iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts in the afternoon. I think I am going to continue to not drink it in the morning though. I don’t know why either. What do you think?
So, you all remember ‘Til Tuesday right? A band out of Boston that hit in the late 80’s with “Voices Carry” and fronted by the beautiful and talented Aimee Mann? Well, my Uncle Chris likes to recount the tale that I once held the back door open for her and the band at the In-Square Men’s Bar which used to be in Cambridge. I was most likely in the back playing Star War... Continue reading »
The Office: The Accountants
The first three webisodes for The Office are on-line at nbc.com.
For the most part, the first three are very weak. Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) is the only one that stands out, but that’s probably just because of the group that is involved, he’s the only one I like. I suppose the third one with Meredith (Kate Flannery) is okay, but just because she’s a drunk and who doesn’t love a drunk!
Honestly though, The FedEx Kinkos commercial that precedes each episode is better… so far. Considering I knew it would be the secondary players ahead of time, I probably shouldn’t be disappointed, but I guess I had higher hopes that they’d shine when given the spotlight.
New episode each Thursday, so let’s hope they get better.
Office Webisodes
Funny how this week’s EW is the Summer TV Preview and all I found of interest was that The Office Webisodes are going to start on July 13. Funny because it is on the Web and not on TV.
Okay… and that’s not all I found of interest, but I don’t have HBO, so no Entourage for me…
