Scribbles about Tv: Bad Teacher

So this is kind of a random tv review because it is a show that has been cancelled already, and I didn't watch it to begin with because I had a feeling it would get cancelled... But they have been airing the remaining episodes and I've been watching and enjoying it. It's a good idea, and even if you see the movie Bad Teacher these characters are all very television-friendly... But the movie didn't get the best ideas to begin with and while I think it was successful, I don't think it was a huge hit and it didn't get great reviews. Plus it has an ensemble cast filled with famous people like Ari Graynor, Kristin Davis and David Allen Grier... And while that can be a good thing because they're all good actors, it's also more expensive to produce, so those shows tend to get cancelled a lot... But anyway back to the review.

It isn't the best show in the world, but it is really entertaining and it's the type of show that I like that doesn't always do that well. I really like shows about teachers, but there aren't really any on today and  a lot of them tend to get cancelled too. Remember Teachers that was on NBC a longggg time ago? I really liked that show but it didn't last very long at all. Anyway there are lots of moments in this show that make me laugh, some out loud mostly to myself. Usually if a show doesn't make me laugh within the first 5 minutes I won't watch it, and this did actually make me laugh. Ari Graynor is really funny, although I do think she seems way nicer and less of a bad person than Cameron Diaz was in the role. It also has a lot of funny and interesting characters like The bad teacher, the goody good teacher, the principle, the student teacher and the gym teacher are all super funny. I liked the chemistry between Meredith, the bad teacher and the hot gym teacher who is played by the guy on Burning Love that played Blaze. I know that isn't super helpful... But it's a thing lol.

Overall I think this is a show worth watching. I usually don't like getting attached to shows that I think are going to get cancelled or that have been cancelled already, but this is good enough to actually check out. It's entertaining and worth a watch. I think they have it on Saturday a Nights right now, so nothing else is even on and this is just a fun little thingy to watch for a little bit. Not the greatest show ever, but it's not bad. The pilot was a little weird.

There are lots of flaws I notice within tv shows because I know a little bit about screenwriting and I can pretty much tell you if the show will be cancelled or not from that alone. This was not a huge offender of any of those rules the way that Trophy a wife and The Carrie Diaries were, so I was slightly surprised it wasn't picked up. I definitely recommend checking it out if you're not doing anything on Saturdays it whatever. I'm sure you'll find it funny.

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...
