Christmas is that special time of the year where you get to watch bad Christmas movies like The Santa Clause, A Mom For Christmas and I’ll Be Home For Christmas (JTT FTW) at all times of the day. Add to this reruns of every ‘Christmas Edition’ TV show and I’m in heaven.
So I was very extremely happy to find a site that lets me do this all year round and especially at work!
Enter BetaMaXmas where you are transported to a 1980ish basement where the only things on TV are Christmas themed shows. Everything from He-Man, Sesame Street, Pee Wee Herman, Married With Children only to name a few…
There are a few shows returning in September and Dexter Season 3 is one of them. The teaser trailer above looks like we’re in for another killer (see what I did there) season and if the progression from season 1 to season 2 is anything to go by we’ll be expecting good things for season 3.
I thought i would spread the word about a great show i’ve recently been watching called NOFX backstage pass. I only started watching it today but I’m already up to episode 4 out of 5. (They’re the perfect length to sneak in between work since each ep is broken up into 2 X 10 min).
Empireonline are currently featuring a list of the best TV shows of all time as voted by the people.
It’s definitely worth a look as they give a brief rundown of some truly memorable shows as well as listing a favorite episode & some trivia (Did you know that Deadwood used the word fuck & it’s derivatives 2,980 times during it’s 3 seasons?).
I covers a variety of genres and a good selection of old & new shows that will bring back the memories. It’ll probably come as no surprise which took the top position (Hint:Animation), but I was happy that five of my favorite were in the top 10. Go The Wire!
So I started to watch Fully Flared and popped the disc into my XBOX 360 and was greeted with the image above.
For those who haven’t had the pleasure of visiting me at ‘The Lodge’ I have the exact same TV as the one pictured which caused my brain to turn to shit as I saw two TVs, one inside of the other.
The third category for the ‘Best Of’ awards is for television show of the year.
In 2007 only a few new TV shows of note were released (flight of the concords, reaper and californication) but others hit their stride and confirmed their status as cult favorites (30 rock, weeds, top gear, curb your enthusiasm). We were also subjected to the awfully craptacular viva laughlin which took the award for being the shortest running TV show with only 2 episodes aired before it got axed (Even the Mick Molloy show lasted 8 weeks). The phenomenal show Sopranos also bowed out at season 7 with an ending that pissed off a lot of people, while J.J Abrams announced that Lost would conclude with another 3 seasons.
Something that almost flew under my TV radar was Newstopia which is the brainchild of Shaun Micaleff.
I’m watching Newstopia as I write this and I cannot express how happy I am to see Shaun Micaleff back on TV with his own show and from what I’m seeing it’s champaign comedy that will show those Chaser boys how smart satire is done.
What is simply described as, “A new comedy series by Shaun Micallef who stars as anchorman in this satirical half hour news bulletin,” it will screen at 10pm Wednesday on SBS however if you missed tonight’s episode don’t fret as you are able to view it legally here.
