As promised, Fall TV - Part I: Mondays

I did it last year, and it's already that time again.

No writers' strike this year, so this may not be a complete waste of time. Over the next week or so, I am going to break down each day of TV week with the help of television super-site The Futon Critic.

So, here's monday night.

Monday (click the image to view the schedule)


Ugh. Let's run through the major networks...

ABC really doesn't offer much for me. Dancing with the Stars amazingly lasts 90 minutes (has it always?) followed by Samantha Who?, another show I don't know much about but I hear good things. Then at 10, Boston Legal returns for yet another season.

CBS continues their sitcom-heavy Monday nights, which if you watch NFL Football on Sundays you will be bombarded with ads for ("and don't miss Two and a Half Men tomorrow evening blah blah blah"). Noteworthy here is Emmy-nominated How I Met Your Mother, entering it's fourth season and yet I still haven't seen an episode. After Neil Patrick Harris, CBS premieres a new show called Worst Week (check out a preview here) that I don't think I'll be checking out.

NBC is rolling with Chuck and Heroes, so they'll probably have Monday nights locked down. At ten, a new Christian Slater, yes Christian Slater, led show premieres called My Own Worst Enemy (preview). Since I have an irrational hatred of Slater, I'll pass.

Instead of beating around the bush by listing more mediocre programs, I'll just remind everyone that Monday Night Football is on 8:00 on ESPN. So... yeah.

Sorry for half-assing it, but Football > bad tv. Check out more on the Monday schedule at The Futon Critic.

Baracky II

The sequel to Baracky.

I've been looking for some new music to post

Then I stumbled across this gem:

Wale featuring Freeway, Young Chris, and Beans - Cypher

Listen for Chris referencing Michael Phelps and Wale mentioning Usain Bolt; this jawn is Olympics recent.

Ghostface's deleted Ironman scene

I've been posting a ton this week...

The Ghostface cameo in Ironman that I mentioned a while back never appeared in the movie, but here it is:

I see why it got cut.

Spotted on Nah Right

Iggy and ?uesto chop it up

Andre Iguodala (who is on the verge of being filthy rich) interviews ?uestlove about his new custom Air Force Ones. Philly!

Those are some ugly shoes.

Coming Soon: ALP Huge Fall TV Preview

Because, somehow, it's nearly fall already :(

As usual, I will only focus on shows I like, or look interesting to me (cause it's my blog!) and present the entire fall tv schedule, day by day. Just like last year... but better.

It's missing a few good ones, but hilarious nonetheless.

As much as I love sitcoms...

I wanna laugh too, Larry!

...I've only seen a few episodes of arguably one of the best modern ones. Although only a few of you check this blog consistently, I need your advice. Should I purchase all 6 seasons for 95 bucks on Amazon? It's 60% cheaper...

The deal is only good through the end of the day, so let me know!

This is what makes the Olympics incredible:

The US Men's 4x100 Relay finish entered my top 10 sports moments of all-time. Coming into the second half of the last leg, it seemed the US had absolutely no shot and then... WOW.

Below is a youtube clip of the last leg:

Making it extra special is the fact the French team claimed they would "smash the Americans" in this event. Ha.

Everyone's favorite new "that guy... you know the guy" guy

Craig Robinson (Darryl from The Office, bouncer in Knocked Up, etc) has a pretty good feature in the new King Magazine.

Excerpt:

“His appeal is universal. I really think he’s our next great comic actor,” says Green. Apatow concurs: “He’s one of those guys that you just want to know more about when you watch him. The more people see of him, the more of a demand there’ll be. It’s just a matter of time.”

I agree.

Check it out here.

Update:
Check out some of Craig's earlier work here and here.

Finally!

My favorite new artist: Holly Weerd

Shame on me for just discovering these guys earlier in the week. But just my luck, they dropped a brand new mixtape/project today on their myspace page. I haven't listened to it yet, and if it's wack... then I guess this post was a waste.

While you're there, check out some of the older stuff they've got up. Bananas. And don't fret, 2 Dope Boyz has got a few of their even older joints.

Their song, Weerdo, has apparently been buzzing all over Atlanta since the beginning of the year and I can definitely see why.

Alright, enough with the jock-ridery.
