My new favorite show - "Angie Tribeca" (UPDATE)

Starting at 9 pm EST on TBS last night premiered the new series, Angie Tribeca, a satire on cop shows, starring Rashida Jones and created by Steve and Nancy Carell. It debuted in an unusual fashion, as all of season 1's ten episodes were displayed five times a piece in a 25-hour binge-a-thon (ending tonight at 10 pm EST). For anyone who appreciates Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Mel Brooks, and/or Police Squad, I'd highly recommend giving this show a gander. From the first scene of the debut show onward, I've been hooked, seriously hope season 2 will air before long, and that the show lasts several seasons.

Like in Airplane! and The Naked Gun, Angie Tribeca combines visual gags with deadpan humor to remarkable effect. The jokes come at the viewer so quickly and in such abundance, one will likely have to rewatch the episodes to catch them all. Between over-the-top material showcasing the absurdity of American cop shows to illustrating how little (literal) sense most clichés make to jokes so random, one has to wonder how high and/or sleep-deprived the writers were when concocting them, the show has it all from a humor perspective. So long as one doesn't have a stick up their butt when viewing this show, I'd have to believe they'd find it amusing as well.

If any readers have missed out on the marathon and are curious to view an episode or ten, you can check them out at the following link:

UPDATE: Okay then... When TBS started saying NEW episodes were going to start airing as of Monday, January 25th, I took that to mean the second season would be starting then, since they'd already aired the entirety of the first season. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, as the pilot aired last night (again) and I'm now uncertain when season 2 will begin airing. Dadgummit!

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
