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!

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
