Charlie Sheen Fails to Submit Himself for Nomination, Remarkably Emmys Continue

Since the super duper star of television somehow managed to forget to submit his name for contention, we all wondered if the Emmys would cease to exist. Nah. That’ll never happen. We pretty much know what we like on television and what we don’t. One Sheen don’t stop no show. But it’s rare that the nominations ever pull anything really crazy out of their hat anymore…like I dunno, an Emmy nod for The Cape or something insane like that. Oh, ho! The Cape. NBC, you guys are just Gods Among Programming. I tell you, it’s like your first year on the television box. Anyway, I digress…back to the Emmys…it’s mostly what you expect, but perhaps there are a couple WTF’s going around.

Let’s take a look at this morning’s nods.

Breaking Bad: Better Call Saul, Walter White is Coming Back

It’s been a year since television’s finest hour of drama was on the air but this Sunday Breaking Bad returns for its fourth season. It’s difficult to express exactly what the show has become since its high-concept beginning. For those who are completely in the dark, Breaking Bad is about the exploits of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with lung cancer and turns to producing and selling pure crystal meth in order to support his family and pay his medical bills. White enlists the help of a former student turned middling drug dealer Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) and together they provide delicious meth for the children of New Mexico. Along the way they run into the usual: Drug cartels, twin assassins, elderly men who can only communicate via bells and sexually unsatisfied women. Continue reading →

Futurama is More Realistic than Star Trek

One Small Step

Back in 1999, when we were all partying like that’s what year it was, a scrappy little cartoon came out from artist Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons. Groening followed his smashing success of The Simpsons, a commentary on The Nuclear Family, by presenting us with his stylized version of the future. This future included talking toasters, walking soda machines, Horrible Gelatinous Blob, evil giant brains and even a few mad scientists. In this future Groening pokes fun at the basic, sometimes constant, frustrations of living on (and around) Earth while also making fun of it. This cartoon is called Futurama and it is wonderful.

SYTYCD Recap: Kisses, Buckness, and other Silly Things

Well, this latest installment was exhausting AND full of sexual harassment. What has gotten into these people? There were wanton kisses and buckness sightings–a real circus. We’d like to never see Nigel and Mary making out again. No, not ever. That was awful. Aside from all the tongue swabbing, there’s a lot of dancing to discuss.

Let’s get to it. Continue reading →
