Greg: GODDAMN IT I LIKED IT BETTER WHEN THE SOVEREIGN WAS ACTUALLYDAVID BOWIE  

Me: Haven't watched it [the one-off Venture Bros special]. Still on Peaky Blinders. 

Greg: I think you really need to reexamine your priorities in life.

Scrame and I were talking about television programs we are into these days. Breaking Bad and Bob's Burgers at the top of the list. What do they have in common? Both have people from Flight of the Conchords (Kristen Schaal, David Costabile, Eugene Mirman). Scrame's not a Conchords fan, but I am. I'm rewatching a little right now as I wait for the next disc of Breaking Bad (I need 3 more episodes to finish Season 4).

Here's a song I think I've overlooked in the past. The line about the lasagna made me LOL tonight.

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy.

I've been waiting for this show to begin for so long.
Since I was in utero.
Since time began.

This is amazing. Even just the way he says "masterpiece" is great.



TOMORROW NIGHT!!! If you live in the UK. Which, obviously I don't.
We'll find a way.

UPDATE (1/26/2012, 10 p.m.): Watching now and although I don't understand much of the action in it, it's pretty amazing. A new fave.
UPDATE (1021 p.m.): LOLLLLLLLL OMG I AM DYING.

The Walking Dead.

Remember I mentioned The Walking Dead back in August. Finally, the wait is over and we all watched the debut episode on Halloween night, or shortly thereafter. I thought it was great. I had to keep pausing it though because it got pretty intense at certain parts.

David and I were talking about it just now. Things we were impressed by and whatnot and then...

David: oooh "60 Minutes" w/ Obama
ok talk at you in a bit - we are watching dvr
I will give away all the critical plot details on episode #2 of "Walking Dead" later

me: LOL
Well I already saw that 60 MINUTES

David: lol

me: IMMA SPOIL THAT SHIT FOR YOU
HE TALKS ABOUT HEALTHCARE PLAN FAILURES
BOOM
NO SPOILER ALERT

David: lol

I purposefully left out actual spoilers to episode #1. It's hard to talk about without giving it all away. Remember the woman in the park? What's left of her anyway... Not half the woman she used to be. D'oh.

Looking forward to more.

"Famous Bagels"

Carpinteria, CA

Is the name of this restaurant a reference to Three's Company?

That was my initial thought when I saw the sign [because I watched too too many hours of television during childhood].

And then I thought, what's with the quotes on "Famous Bagels?"

Elvira's Movie Macabre.

Remember watching Elvira back in the 80s? Sure you do. Weekend afternoons on television. She'd sit on a red chaise flanked by candelabra in her lowcut signature dress, big hair and present her horror/cult/camp movies. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or something along those lines. I remember being frightened by her boobs more than anything else. Rad as hell. So I'm very happy to announce that the show is coming back...

From the email...

"The wait is finally over!  This weekend, ELVIRA’S Movie Macabre will premiere throughout the US... A weekly movie hosted by your favorite busty, snarky lady."

In the Los Angeles area Movie Macabre is scheduled to air Saturdays at 12 a.m. on KDOC. Worth a look. P.S. If you live in another area of the U.S., I have the full schedule. Comment and I'll give you the air time.
