It looks so charming after all these years.
Get it while it’s hot. This nifty little hacienda was featured in A Nightmare on Elm Street. It looks like something straight out of the ’80s…out of the ’70s. Just check out all that natural wood in the kitchen! Those yellow curatain thingies are also way sexy!
Ugh. That’s really an awful joke…but it had to be done.
If you’ve checked out our Fall TV Preview, you’ve already read my rave about the pilot for “Jericho,” but in case you haven’t, here’s CBS’s quick description of the series:
Things are quiet and peaceful in small-town Jericho, Kansas, but when a baffling explosion – one shaped suspiciously like a mushroom cloud – occurs in the distance, toward Denver, Jericho’s residents are plunged into social, psychological and physical chaos. No one knows what to think, and fear of the unknown takes over the town, especially because its isolation cuts it off from outside help. When nearly everything they know seems gone, will the residents of Jericho band together to face their unfamiliar and mysterious new world?
There’s no guarantee that the pilot I saw will end up being identical to the first episode that airs tomorrow at 8 PM on CBS, so I’ll be tuning in like everyone else. Like I said in my comments in the preview, the show’s 8 PM timeslot is a little surprising for something as dark as a nuclear holocaust, but curiosity could make “Jericho” into this year’s “Lost.”
Go on. Watch it. You know you want to.
This was mentioned on the site before, but the accountants of Dunder-Mifflin have solved the mystery of the missing $3000. Get ready for the season premiere this Thursday by watching the 10 webisodes at the official NBC website.
The webisodes feature Kevin, Angela and Oscar as they try to track down money missing from the company’s books. You won’t see Michael, Pam or Jim, but Dwight’s hilarious appearance in the tenth installment more than makes up for their absence.
(Note: This is an early review of next week’s episode. If you have HBO On Demand, watch it now. Otherwise, wait until Sunday to avoid spoilers.)
When I heard about all of these other critics saying that “The Wire” was the best show on television, I couldn’t help but question their reasoning. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the show (because I do), but I also find it very difficult to give anything the “best” label. After watching episode three, however, there’s not a doubt in my mind that the HBO drama is certainly in the running. It wasn’t even a spectacular episode by most standards (there have certainly been better), but so much happened throughout the course of the show that really got me thinking just how multilayered (and unique) this series is.
Perhaps I liked this week’s episode so much because almost every character was given something to do. Even Omar made his big debut, although he didn’t appear nearly as entertaining or threatening as in past seasons. Maybe it’s the new do, or the fact that he traipsed the streets in a silk robe that kind of lost respect points on my end, but here’s hoping that he plays a much bigger part further into this season. I sure would like to see him face off against Marlo’s crew – namely Chris and Snoop – in a big gunfight. That would create some bodies, and that would give the Detail a reason to get back together.
For now, however, it looks like the Detail has been shut down. With only four remaining members causing trouble around town with their issued subpoenas, Capt. Rawls has decided to kill the project by issuing the unit a new Lieutenant. A move that eventually causes Kima and Lestor to throw in the towel and ask for new assignments in homicide.
They’re not the only ones with new jobs, either. Herc gets the call from the Mayor for what looks to become the fast-track to Sergeant, and after Bunny Colvin quits a decent gig working as the head of security at some fancy hotel, he’s decided to hook up with Social Services as a consultant for a new experimental project in the schools. Apparently, it looks like they’re going to separate the good kids from the bad, with the hope that the bad kids will be much easier to teach as one group. It’s not a bad idea, and one that (according to the recently-aired “Wire” specials) has actually worked in Baltimore.
Speaking of school, Prez certainly has his hands full. His first day doesn’t go very smoothly, and what first appears to be a simple problem of disciplining the students to listen, quickly snowballs into a much bigger situation when a girl slashes another student’s face with a razor blade… for the dumbest reason ever.
It’s official: things are about to get very interesting, but I’m too sure McNulty is going to be there when it all goes down. He seems pretty happy (and domesticated) in his new life with Beatty, and while Bunk doesn’t buy the new image, McNulty assures him that it’s the real thing. And while I would normally be ready to count McNulty out of the game, “The Wire” has a history of never really getting started until midseason. It takes a little while to build up such complicated storylines, but if he isn’t riding with the pack by episode seven, I’d say he’s pretty much a beat cop for good.
make ’em squirm, Stewart.
Ah, what would Reverend Phelps have to say about Jon Stewart putting Bill Bennett in his place on the topic of gay marriage? One can only speculate. In the meantime, you can watch another moron go down in flames at the hands of the master of fake news.
