Beavis and Butthead! BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD!!!!!

Get More: Beavis and Butt-Head, MTV Shows

I LOVE Beavis and Butthead!  It is somewhat contradictory to my personality but this show is sooo hilarious and awesome.  In my first year of college, I watched the show religiously and I wore out my video of the movie. I even had several posters on my dorm room wall and when friends would come to my room for the first time they would be so surprised by my Beavis and Butthead obsession because I'm not wild and crazy.  I'm more quiet and introverted and no one would think that I would be a superfan of such an idiotic show.

Anyway, I'm soo excited that it's coming back.  Above is a sneak peek of the new season.  This joins other amimated comedies currently on air that I love like South Park(!), Family Guy, American Dad, and Ugly Americans (seriously, if you're not watching Ugly Americans on Comedy Central, you're missing out).

Top Chef is my 2nd favorite reality competition after Survivor. So it was with great interest that I read this blog post about a fellow Top Chef fans' run-in with the shows judging panel in San Antonio, TX. Gail Simmons sounds like a grade-A bitch in this story. I thought Padma would be the one!

"Box Cutter" Breaking Bad review

"Box Cutter"

So, Breaking Bad's season 4 premiere was last night and as expected it was awesome!  One of the things I love so much about this show is that it is quietly intense.  What I mean by that is there is not a lot of unnecessary bombast.  Everything is quietly boiling or seething beneath the surface forcing you to pay attention.  Just one quietly uttered line could define or explain everything that's going on.  There have been plenty of times when I'll miss something that was said or some seemingly unimportant action only to find out later that it was/is a major plot point.  A great example of what I mean by quietly intense is the scene pictured above.  This scene was the focal point of last night's episode and on any other show, it would have been loud with overly dramatic music, unnecessary pause points, and ridiculous dialogue as if we're too stupid to understand what's going on.  But on Breaking Bad, as violent as it was, this scene was beautiful.  The sociopathic manner with which Gus Fring set about murdering his associate Victor will only uttering 5 words was brilliant!  Now, I'll admit that as soon as I realized someone (and by process of elimination it had to Victor) was going to get his throat slashed, I had my hands over my face peeking through my fingers just waiting for the gore to happen!  With just about any other TV show or movie, a scene like that would've totally freaked me out.  But not this one.  That's the beauty on this show.  It takes a subject matter that could very easily be exploited for it's innate violence and illegal activity and turns it into a great character study.  Please read the A.V. Club review linked above for a more thorough review.

Breaking Bad starts tonight!

One of my favorite TV shows, if not the favorite, begins it's fourth season tonight and I can't wait!.  Breaking Bad is an absolutely awesome show and if you're not watching it you're missing out.  I'll let Wikipedia tell you what it's about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad

Breaking Bad is the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a struggling high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with advanced lung cancer at the beginning of the series. He turns to a life of crime, producing and selling methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), with the aim of securing his family's financial future before he dies.

Here are the season previews of all four seasons combined:



I may have some thoughts on tonight's episode later or if I'm too lazy (which will probably be the case) I will link to a review from The A.V Club.
