Ive Made A Huge Mistake

I was watching Chuck and first off, I love the show it appeals to the geek in me and the pubescent boy (Yvonne Strahovski who plays Sarah) which we all know guys don’t grow out of till about 1 month after death. They had a slow motion sequence of Sarah Walker, hair flipping smiling blah blah blah (*drool*) and suddenly I recognized the song that was playing in the background. FOUX DE FA FA by Flight of the Conchords *little girl screams*. Best 2 minutes of television evahhh. If you have not seen or heard Flight of the Conchords you should go ahead and do that. Its okay I’ll wait.

Also was watching Eureka on SciFi and am sick and tired of this entire product placement thing they have going on. A random cut of Degree for Men in the middle of the show. WHY you might ask, well Carter shaves using Degree for Men. The Idea of product placement has been around for ages and since TV is all about the advertising why not have brands all over the place right! I understand the reason why; I’m not saying that they shouldn’t have any branding whatsoever. They should just handle it better, 30 Rock had an episode dedicated to it. Skits based on the GE Tri-vection something rather oven. HOW AMAZING DOES THAT SOUND! Watch the episode it’s really good, Tina Fey’s SNL days really show in the writing. Also the show Studio 60 on Sunset Strip brought up this topic and they handled it really well. I am from now on boycotting Eureka till they decide to drop this whole crappy Degree for men on the show.

Ive also finished watching two TV shows produced by a Mr. Judd Apatow. Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. Both great shows, both have his usual cast many of whom you know today Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, james Franco etc. etc. To all us early 20 somethings these shows are the kind of shows we grew up watching and I think we should all watch them. What shows did you watch growing up, after school maybe? Wonder Years, Friends, He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 3rd Rock From the Sun, Dexters Lab, Dharma and Greg, Fraiser, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Home Improvement, Just Shoot Me, Malcolm in the Middle, Roswell, That 70’s Show! these were both shows that are along the same lines.
