Streets Ahead- Get Streets Ahead of comedy television!

So I am mourning the loss of Community still and I don't want this to happen to any more of my shows, so I am going to tell you all the comedy shows on all of the networks that exist.

CBS 
Pass... They don't have the best comedies. I used to watch HIMYM, but that's over and the end sucked. I've caught some Mike and Molly... Melissa McCarthy is funnier than that. I also used to watch the Big Bang theory... And it's not like it doesn't make me laugh but it's not groundbreaking really. Also Two Broke Girls I used to watch but not anymore... It's bad. Just skip CBS for comedy. If you're looking for a good news show though watch Sunday Morning. My new Sunday Morning ritual is having my puppy wake me up around when that is on. That's what I think happened the last couple of weeks and it's amazing.

NBC

 Nbc has always had the best comedies, but sadly now there is only Parks and Recreation. I wonder what the schedule will be for the fall because they cancelled all of their comedies pretty much and Parks and Rec is trying to wrap up by next season... Now I'm not sure they'll be able to. It's just a damn shame that they have no comedies right now. First two networks I picked too this is shitty.

But hey, there's a new comedian coming to town and although right now she may only be the present Shannon Kahermanes, I hear she's the next Tina Fey. Lol.

Fox 
I actually recommend a lot here. New Girl is obviously a really funny show... I was getting a little bit tired of it because it's a lot similar to The Mindy Project and I don't need to see two of the same show on the same night, but it is quite great.

The Mindy project is sooo much better though! If there is one Fox Comedy I want you to watch, it's The Mindy Project. I'm a girl, it's slightly a girly show, but the cast is so funny I don't see how a guy wouldn't enjoy this show. Mindy Kaling, Chris Messina, Adam Pally, Ike Berkawitz... These are just some of the amazing funny people. Plus they have a ton of fantastic guest stars, and Mindy and Danny are the best couple ever. OTP!!!

Also Brooklyn 99. This is a new show, this is the funniest new comedy probably since I've seen Parks and Rec, I was not expecting to love this, but it is fantastic and just all around great.

And Bob's Burgers. The non-Macfarlene animated show... Which is an amazing thing! And it is a funny show. There's Bob who is an Average-Joe burger flipper who loves puns and Thanksgiving, his wife Linda who loves to sing and chant, Oldest daughter Tina who loves boys, butts and zombies, middle child Gene who loves keyboard fart noises and farts, Louise who is the crazy-scheming youngest child that is probably smarter than her parents and is an evil genius in adorable bunny ears!

That not enough to get you to watch...PLOT TWIST Bob is voiced by Jon Benjamin, Gene is voiced by Eugene Mirman, Louise is Kristin Schaal. They also have a lot of funny guest stars, like Nick Kroll, Megan Mullaly is on a lot, Jenny Slate and Aziz Ansari have also guest starred multiple times. It's just great!!! Check it out.

Abc 
Trophy Wife!!! I just started to watch this show and it is amazing. Malin Akerman. Bradley Whitford,  Marcia Gay Harden, Michaela Watkins... All hilarious. Natalie Morales of Parks and Rec also guest stars frequently, the guy from Ben and Kate.... And I just read they fucking cancelled it. Damn. I liked this show, it was kind of a long shot because it had all stars in it. It was kind of hit or miss. The writing was not 100% there. I know a little something about writing tv shows and they would just kind of skip over things that they shouldn't skip over. I really like it, but I can see how it got cancelled. I think maybe someone with little tv writing experience wrote the show... But yeah. Funny enough for me to recommend and miss- mostly for Michaela Watkins- but it's a little sad.

I was also going to recommend The Neighbors as well... But that got cancelled too. This is sad too. This was such a different show and it. It was about aliens that move next door to people. It's just good and different. If Abc family picks it up or something, watch it.

Comedy Central 

Here it have a lot! This is where it's at with tv really.

Workaholics, Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, Kroll Show, Review, @midnight, dailly show, Colbert report... Basically every live action show they have... I don't watch many animated shows, but still.

Fx & Fxx 

Louie, The League, Always Sunny... Just all good shows. Funniest shows.
 Louie is a about Louie Ck, the League is about a fantasy football league, always Sunny is about low-life's that own a bar. Just good stuff.

Netflix has Arrested Development, if you haven't heard of that by now where the fuck have you been? They may have new episodes. Not sure there. Orange is the new black also a comedy but sort of not a comedy. There's a new show on Hulu called Orlando housewives or something that sounds funny... I've only seen a few eps of Silicon Valley but that's good. IFC has some good shows I should watch. USA is getting into the comedy game... Apparently I need to watch some of these.
It seems like comedy is kind of dead right now... This isn't something I realized when I started to write this post... But let's face it a lot of these recs weren't even that good and these are the best comedies on television right now. There is something wrong with this and now I'm feeling a bit more inspired to write some comedies, although I find it a little disheartening that something as funny as Community can get cancelled and it is unlikely that I will ever write something that funny.... This kind of sucks. Now I'm re-examining my life... Ugh. This is a sad day for everyone.

Byeeeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
