What We’re Watching: June Update

Word is that next series is going to be the last, and if this series was anything to go by 30 Rock going to go out strong. With episodes such as the genius “Leap Day” (directed by Steve Buscemi), this show is still as funny as it ever was.

Series 3 of the Square Eyed favourite featured some of it’s best episodes yet, the alternative reality tackling “Remedial Chaos Theory”, the Law & Order inspired “Basic Lupine Urology” and the difficult-to-explain “Curriculum Unavailable”. Hopefully this quality will continue next series, despite the departure of creator Dan Harmon. read more »

What We’re Watching: April Update

Watched

I’d be lying if I said I got this show straight away, but I persevered and thank god I did. After three series this show, that many have dubbed “Arrested-Development meets James-Bond“, has evolved in to nothing short of genius.

After losing the majority of its main cast, Being Human series 4 was always going to struggle. And while this series definitely varied in quality, like all the previous series, this was all the about the finale. Next year will be interesting as the show appears to heading down the soft-reset root.

Whilst Hank Moody is still the man, this show has definitely seen better days. Weak story-lines aside, this series featured some horribly written characters not the least being the cliché-ridden rapper Samurai Apocalypse (portrayed by RZA).

Looking for a simple sit-com to fill that post-Friends void but like me, can’t stand How I Met Your Mother? Then look no further than Happy Endings. It doesn’t re-write the book by any means but it’s features a cast of super-likeable people including Eisha Cuthbert (24) and Eliza Coupe (Scrubs).

I’ve sung the praises of this show before, and I’ll do it again. I defy any man, woman or child, to sit through this show and not find something to like. Much like Happy Endings above, this show doesn’t bring anything new to the table but that doesn’t stop it from being bloody funny.

Question: What do video games and Mad Men have in common?

Answer: I fucking love both of them!

So imagine my delight we I came across this little gem from The Fine Bros, which is essentially the closet thing to a Mad Men video game as we’re gonna get. They’ve also done a Saved By The Bell game too. Neato gang!

Any One Up For A Bad Dog?

We love Alison Brie (Community) and her Mad Men co-star Rich Sommer. And we have no beef with Desperate Housewives’ Kathryn Joosten. So naturally we quite like this video, about who lays claim the names of new sex positions, featuring all three of them.
