g to Wash U and a special enhanced KARL Show coming up, so again I apologize for not writing as much as I should. Lets jump right in:I am now going to make a list of shows/movies you should start watching NOW:
1. Go see Role Mo
dels. It has Stifler playing Stifler, Paul Rudd playing himself, but wonderfully misanthropic (the adjective I've read in every single review of the film), and a hilarious 10 year old Black kid who I remember being hilarious on the short lived but still funny "The Tracy Morgan Show." This movie has some of the most hilarious dialogue since "40 yr old Virgin" and a heartwarming ending. Plus, you gotta love anything David Wain does.2. Sunday Night Comedy on HBO
Sunday nights has turned into my favorite night of TV (only surpassing Thursdays because I dont watch TV any other night).
Entourage has been a little uneven, but at least its entertaining. I love it bcecause its about Hollywood, and well if you havent guessed it already, I am very into Hollywood. One thing about the show that is so unrealistic to me, is that Johnny Drama always dresses really stupidly, and then hits on girls with such golden lines as, "hey beautiful" and gets MAD PISSED when they dont respond. Johnny should know that just saying "hey beautiful" to a hot girl does not magically make them want to fuck you.
Summer Hei
ghts High is my new favorite comedy on TV. It is a mockumentary style show about an Australian Public School and it stars one guy who plays 3 characters: A gay/delusional Drama teacher (Reminiscent of Corky St. Clair), A 13 year old Bad Boy "islander" who is the most difficult student of all time, and a 15 year old Rich Bitch from a Private school who is doing a swap program with Summer Heights High. The actor/writer who plays all of these characters, Chris Lilley, is briliant and observent and hilarious. START WATCHING THIS SHOW!The Life and Times of Tim is a show I had very low expectations for. I saw the internet shorts and I was not impressed, but this show consistently has me on the floor laughing. It is awkward and smart and the voices are just so perfectly expressive. The weird animation
with lopsided eyes and minimal body movement reminds me of "Home Movies" or "Dr. Katz" but its better. The show in a nutshell is about this normal/mediocre guy named Tim who always means well but ends up doing stupid/offensive shit (to try and please other people) and then has to explain himself to his girlfriend or boss. Worth your time.30 Rock-- Always just very very very clever. I am not a huge fan of guest stars (they used Oprah cleverly, but why should I care about Jennifer Aniston?), and the plots for the most part this season have not been wonderful, but the dialogue is so chocked full of clever lines (and if its one thing I value in comedy, its cleverness) that I could watch it every day. Lines like "Never follow a hippie to a second location" and "Liz: Why are you wearing a tux? Jack: It's after 6 o'clock Lemon. What am I, a farmer? make 30Rock a very valued show.
The Lakers-Almost every game (DAMN YOU DETROIT!) has been poetic basketball. I just wish it were April already!

Interesting, Bobb'e J was also in an episode of Human Giant as the head exec at Shutterbugs, the childrens movie agency that the Giants run.
