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!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
