Jason Cooper is, professionally, an Online Community Coordinator for kaboom.org. Personally, he is a Detroit to DC transplant, and all around B.M.F. He secretly wants to be an internet celebrity.
Who’s fucking next?
Can. Not. Wait.
And without too much noise, AMC has become the brightest spot for drama on basic cable. And you know what, F/X is doing the same for comedy. You don’t have to be HBO to make high-quality TV. Maybe the major networks, the one’s with the big pockets, should wise up.
A few more shows like this and it actually won’t matter who’s broadcast and who’s broadband. Maybe it doesn’t already.
Also, this show looks amazing.
I was going to pick Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style, until my lady reminded me that the Battlestar Galactica relaunch is considered a TV movie.
If you’ve followed this blog (or my twitter) in the past few years, you’ve read about how much I loved this show enough. Here’s a search of the blog for Battlestar if you are at all interested in knowing how much I frakking loved this show.
A far second would be The Temptations movie that details the lives of the many men who would be called Temptations.
Its an interesting movie that, thanks to VH1, I’ve seen a thousand times. It chronicles the band’s early days in Detroit, to getting signed, to going to tour, to falling apart over and over and over and over again. Its a bummer of a movie to tell the truth, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I used to love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Loved it. Looooooved it. I used to plan my classes around it. Every Tuesday. And the reruns in the summer. I’ve bought the DVD’s. I once had a complete sets of Season 2 and Season 3 trading cards. T-shirts were purchased. I’ve talked about it at ends with friends and the occasional stranger. Action figures have graced my shelves. I even watched the UPN seasons.
I don’t tell you this to brag or boast. I’m not trying to tell you how much more of a fan of Buffy I’m than you are. I tell you this so you understand the full gravity of my next statement.
Buffy Season 8 has made me hate Buffy and I hope, in the final issue, that they all die.
Joss is going to ruin Avengers too.
We all agree, right? Nobody knows what is going on in those Malibu Rum commercials with the radio DJ’s right?
Regret: I wish I had watched The Unusuals while it airing. I liked it. I generally dislike cop shows, but I had liked this one. The cast was smart, the writing fun, and production was solid. Maybe if I had watched it, it would have been renewed.

Teen Wolf huh? Hell, why the fuck not? Karate Kid was remade. A-Team. Transformers. GI Joe. Let’s make it a goal for the 2000 and teens to remake every 80’s property!
Here’s the story of this new Teen Wolf according to Jeph Loeb, screenwriter for the original movie and prolific comicbook, writer as told on the Wordballoon podcast.
I don’t think there is much more to say here other than, “ugh.” Its a strange move, in my mind, to take something original (as original as Twilight for werewolves can be) and wrap it in something that is so, well, old. Older than MTV’s audience that’s for sure.
Looks like Party Down is only up on Netflix Instant for another day. Good thing we just got caught up through both seasons last night. RIP.
Watch it while you can!
Wow, $20.00 dollars buys you a DVD filled with your favorite [Adult Swim] episodes from pretty much every one of their shows.
My mind is bottled.
Is it just me, or are the folks on Top Chef cattier than any Project Runway or Survivor star?
