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!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
