Yes. Both episodes were hilarious. And it would now seem that I'm hooked on this sitcom about terrible people leading ethically void lives in 70's styled Philadelphia. Lo & behold to my surprise as well, I discovered that Showcase has been broadcasting the reruns late at night (so as not to offend the kiddies, I'm sure) So I will start catching up then. Won't be blogging anytime soon if I can't find a regular broadcast source for the new episodes (I can't keep up with what my box records for me, let alone what I could stream).
Today we're also gonna start introducing my new rating system! Yay! Let's add some more validity to this process!
Our scale will be a simple one, running the gamut from WINNER! to winner, meh, loser and last & most certainly meant to be least, LOSER.
Let's begin.
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
Jane Lynch & Bruno Mars
Created by Lorne Michaels
Airdate: 10/9/10 - Viewdate: 10/9/10
All I can say about the Gloria Allred opener is that it wasn't a 'Presidential Address' and that in itself made it unique. If only I knew who Gloria Allred was. - loser
What does one have to do to become a regular on this show? I mean Abby Elliot gets to be a regular but Nasim Pedrad is still only a 'featuring'? If I'm not mistaken Nasim made me laugh many more times last season than Abby did, but maybe that's just me. The 'Gilly/Glee' sketch did show me that Abby Elliot can at least sing, something I didn't know.
Seems to me that when the writers don't have a clue about what makes the host funny, they write a song for them. Sure Jane Lynch carried it well, but was that really the best you could do in a week? - winner
"Damn, My Mom's on Facebook" commercial - winner
Glee/Gilly sketch. Now this is always gold, but that's because Gilly was there. I enjoy her the most because my fiance' hates it when I do my creepy Gilly impression. Score another for Kristen Wigg (who by the way, is more talented now than Molly Shannon ever was). - WINNER
"New Boyfriend Talk Show" - Surprisingly funny for one of their regularly featured 'in the home' talk shows. - winner
"Secret Word" - pretty much always a winner.
Digital short: It's great seeing Jane Lynch back in her creepy personae (a'la "The 40 Year Old Virgin" - winner
Dept store w/ Denzel Washington sketch. - Okay, I know this sketch only exists to showcaseJay Pharoah's uncanny impresonation of Denzel Washington (he eerily sounds EXACTLY like him) and that's okay. I'm hoping that this becomes a regular recurrence on par with 'What's Up With That'. - WINNER
Musical Guest: Bruno Mars - Okay, so I'm a movie,TV, Sci-Fi, discovery/national geographic channel nerd with multiclasses in comic books and WWII trivia - I am not a music nerd for anything post 2004. As this blog isn't meant for music, I will be swift: These guys sounded a Cuban doo-wop version of Maroon 5. Is that a bad thing? Well, for me, it was. - LOSER
Weekend Update: Can you say anything bad about this, ever? Well, maybe the visit from the Mexican travel official did fall a little flat. - winner
Suze Orman show - If only for Kristen Wigg's bizarre preformance - winner.
Sunday Night Foodball on NBC - this gets a pass from me for one reason and one reason only: Bill Hader's amazing Chris Collingsworth voice. - winner
Tax Masters: - Lame. Weak. - LOSER
So all around, factoring in today's scores, the Oct 9th SNL installment was an all around WINNER.
Next time: Amy Poehler & Katy Perry (YAY!)
Just came back from seeing 'The Social Network' and like everyone else, I thought it was brilliant and quite inspired. Is it the new 'Citizen Kane' as some have claimed? Of course not, but is it a contender for 'Best Adapted Screenplay', 'Best Director', & 'Best Picture next year? I do believe so. See it, if you can.
(due to being out watching said film, my updates will be behind once again. I do have a life after all. I do. Seriously.)
