The Return of the Video All-Stars

I can't take credit for finding this one. It was on The Soup this past weekend and I just thought it was too amazing not to share. From CBS's Kid Nation, I bring you the first step in this kid's descent into stalking and alcoholism:


I had the pleasure of watching last Thursday's episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia a few months ago, before the season started, and it immediately confirmed that Season 3 was going to be amazing. This is still probably my favourite clip of the whole season.

Taken from a previous Russell Brand post, this is by far the best part of his first show, and he had nothing to do with it, other than bringing it out of the BBC archives.


I'm pretty sure this PSA was made by the same guy who did Death Bed: The Bed that Eats The voiceover is uncannily similar in both the voice and the tone. Death Bed is my favourite movie... about a bed that eats people. I challenge you to name a better movie about a carnivorous bed. Here's a clip of that classic. I'll see if I can edit some of the voiceover later.

Death Bed loves fried chicken

Thursday Night Reviews

UGLY BETTY & GREY'S ANATOMY- I had to catch up with these shows because I didn't watch them last week. After 4 hours of ABC Thursday night programming in a row, I don't remember much. Maybe I have to care about the characters on these shows, which I don't. Let' just move on.

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA- The only complaint I have is that we only got 1 episode of Sunny. This week: Sweet Dee's dating a Retarded Person. That storyline is good. Better: the guys try to start a band. I think we all know how that would end up. Expect clips.

ER-Snooze. I feel like ER is recycling its own medical mysteries and doctor personal life dramas. I will continue to watch this out of loyalty, I just won't be reviewing it anymore unless something exciting happens. Here's some footage of John Stamos "allegedly" drunk/high and definitely bitter and too honest on Australian TV:

DEGRASSI- Ok, so I have no idea when this season premiere actually aired (I'm guessing last Friday); but I found it on my TiVo with Thursday's shows. I've loved Degrassi since the original Degrassi High. There's something about a show where a group of 10 kids can experience every plight in the teenage pantheon that just appeals to me. On the original show there was a kid who found out he was adopted, almost got raped hitchhiking to see his birth father, both his parents were killed, had random learning disabilities, and eventually drove drunk and killed someone. I think he ended up paralyzed and in prison. Good times. The installment I watched on Thursday was the seventh season premiere. In an effort to cash in as much as possible, the makers of the show decided to divide the kids' senior year into 2 seasons, so we're starting with the first day of their winter semester. I guess they're running low on teen cautionary tales because we get another date rape storyline here. This one being different from the one a few years back because this girl was rufied and the last one was just held down and raped. We don't find out who did the raping in this episode; but I have a theory:

New Segment: All-Star Videos

We're introducing a new segment to the blog. The best clips of TV shows Kongye and Phallic watched each week. It occurred to us that some clips are just indescribable, so we just have to show you. We missed a week, so allow us to go back and bring you the winners from the week of September 24th:

BONES provides a monologue about cannibalism that belongs on TOP CHEF

DIRTY SEXY MONEY: Brian Darling at his best.

The first and last 20 seconds of this are amazing. From IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA. 'Nuff said.

Kongye is off to Atlantic City for some serious gambling and another stop on the So You Think You Can Dance Tour. Expect some mobile blogging from the bus ride down and more Week 1 all-stars before Monday.

What's On Kongye's TiVo- Mostly Download Edition

There actually won't be any network programming on Kongye's TiVo tonight because it's Opening Night and even though Kongye will watch this game live (Club Gold level center ice, bitches!), she still needs to relive the experience in on TV when she gets home or delete the game angrily should we lose.

With that being said, here are the shows that will be watched through a combination of non-conflicting TiVoing and downloading:

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA- 10pm, FX- The only show Kongye made sure to get on the TiVo. We at the blog love this shit. I think tonight is the episode that we saw online before the season started- "Mac is a Serial Killer." Really funny shit. Watch out for Dee, Dennis, a new friend, and a Fraggle Rock lunchbox.
UGLY BETTY- 8pm, ABC- This show has its moments. Hopefully it'll go into crazy territory again because last week was too sappy and predictable.
GREY'S ANATOMY-9pm, ABC- This show is pretty much obligatory. Something happened when I watched this show last week- I found myself getting all emotional even though I knew they were manipulating me. At least the medical stuff is still pretty cool. I pretty much tune out whenever they start talking about their endless, trivial romantic struggles.
ER- 10pm, NBC- I've been watching this since I was a kid. There's nothing and no one on this show that keeps me interested at this point, but it's a habit that I don't really want to break.
LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT-10pm, USA- Let's check out how far the production values on the worst L&O franchise have fallen now that it's moved to cable.
DRAWN TOGETHER-10:30, Comedy Central- I don't remember if I liked this. The jokes are so obvious and I feel like the writing staff is made up entirely on 14-year-old boys. I guess I'll watch tonight and see if it's any better.


See you after the game for a blog update. LET'S GO RANGERS!
