A Long Time Ago on a Channel called NBC…

They put Community on hiatus. A TV coma, never to return.  Then other stuff happened…

I ordinarily hate Star Wars spoofs. They’re just too easy. It’s bad enough that the goofiness built into Star Wars pads the product & hides just how bad it is.

On the other hand the return of Community is like the return of Firefly. And no matter how much I don’t like to admit it, Firefly is some of the good bits of Star Wars PLUS plot & speakable dialog. So despite my dislike of  the Star Wars films and extended spoofs, this poster fits.

Whereas Firefly is a great reworking of many mainstream sci-fi tropes, Community is a reworking of all pop culture tropes, cancelled or otherwise. The new half season is starting soon and I wouldn’t put it past them to spoof their brush with near-cancellation. Community is Arrested Development meets Firefly in a big way. Two oddball cancelled TV shows better then their ratings would reveal.  How can that fail?

So. I’m appealing to all you who like the sure thing of Star Wars & all of you who love a lost cause like Firefly. Watch Community. It is everything you like in a situation comedy & soon to be cancelled sci-fi ensemble piece.  Your immensely good tastes will be justified. If not judgement questions.  

Set to return March 15th.  Spread the word.  Repost please.

The Perfect Crime

Help! Someone help!                     Shut up, you old bag!

Seinfeld has a lot of food related episodes or in the parlance “What is the deal with all the food episodes?”  Soup Nazi, Mendies, dinner with the Ross’s, Elaine’s muffin top scheme, an entire episode dedicated to not eating  and Monk’s.  Two of them specifically deal with swirly breads: the marble rye incident and the black and white cookie.  

America’s Next Top Dominatrix: Conehead Vs Bonehead Vs Pinhead

 

 Left Take:: Sarah Palin & Coneheads. Separated at Birth?

That would be a compliment.  The Coneheaded people of the planet Remulak are meant to be superintelligent.  I’m afraid that despite her hair bump describing Sarah Palin as  regular-intelligent would be a stretch.  In fact New Jersey styled big hair is practically a birth defect among most earthers  (Excluding the Birthers.  Amongst them a bone in your head is practically a requirement.   And if you are a New Jersey Birther, YOUR HEADS ARE MADE OF A DISGUSTING SOLID BONE / HAIR COMBINATION.  YOU ARE PRACTICALLY KLINGON).

Bone head...

...Or head bump. You decide.

Whereas Mrs Palin’s head, that bump is all bone.  My long-standing crush for Ms. Jane Curtin would not allow me to say anything else.  The deeply disturbed but truly hilarious Tracy Morgan may think otherwise and be turned on by her Neanderthal head.  I guess you don’t need an egg-shaped head to be a bonehead.  Mepps!

No signature red Sarah Palin jacket on Tracy in this photo, right?

Later he's seen wearing it. With Sarah Palin. I'm just saying.

My final guess is that Sarah Palin is a Pinhead.  Not in the Bill O’Reilly 1970s tough cop bullsh!t style but in the most upsetting combination of stupid evil.  She is  Zippy the Pinhead meets Pinhead of the Cenobites.  Bonehead, Conehead or Pinhead Sarah Palin will tear. Your soul.  Apart.

Well Meant Misogyny

She’s so hot…BOOM!

I’m Not Crying

Where the music, humor and ugly of the Tenacious D, The BeeGees, Demetri Martin and Lord of the Rings intersect is where Flight of the Conchords meet.

What does it mean if I don’t think this is half bad?  If you can’t stand this watch “The Office” or “Extras” on HBO.  And when I say “The Office” I don’t mean the completely-missing-the-point NBC version with the same name.  I mean the British show that was on the BBC, now on video.

If you are fans of “Curb Your Enthusiam” you’ll probably like the The Office and Extras.  Lots of situation appropriate cursing and awkward situations.  If not, then you’ve got to be wondering “What’s wrong with this guy?”  Both groups will be right

30 Rock Be Trippin’

Watch Tina Fey go from neurotic, frumpy, cute and smart girl to beautiful, simple, sophisticated, smart babe (with her inner neurotic frump shining through. Sophisticated may be stretching it a bit). Watch the star of Who Dat Ninja? and President Homeboy, Tracy Jordan chase Conan O’Brian with a knife. Paul Rubens makes a guest appearance as the inbred, German prince love interest of show star Jenna Maroney. Rachel Dracht comes with more uses than a swiss army knife.

The show is a combination of Arrested Development, Mary Tyler Moore, Sex in the City, the Odd Couple, That Girl and any of the good Woody Allen movies. What’s not to like?

Season 2 starts, Thursday on October 4th at 8:30 pm. Better time slot for a really good show. You know how you get mad when your favorite show gets cancelled? Please don’t let that happen to 30 Rock. Think about it. Any show that could come up with the phrase “Honky Grandma Be Trippin’” has got to be good.
