Scribbles about TV: 2nd week of March 2015

Big TV week for me... as I couldn't do much else lol.

On Sunday I watched some more Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt... I finished it last week... but I'm going to keep watching it again and again because I love it so much. I also kind of want to write for it someday maybe... lol. So better watch it a lot now.

I also watched Bobs Burgers, Brooklyn 99 and Last Man On Earth. All amazing shows, really digging fox's comedy line up. I don't like The Simpson's or Family guy... but these are great. The Last Man on Earth is a show that is very unexpectedly amazing. I thought "how could they have a show of just the last man on earth... but the end of every episode does have an exciting twist that makes me very excited for the next episode. I love it. Its really good. Kristen Schaal also does live tweets and stuff, which is really cool. I like it a lot.

On Monday I watched last weeks Better Call Saul and Jane the Virgin and this weeks Better Call Saul. I sprained my ankle, so I was actually in a lot of pain and I'll definitely need to re-watch this week's Better Call Saul... but Mike is one of my favorite characters from Breaking Bad and I'm really happy he's in this spin off and that we got to see another side of him.

Tuesday I watched New Girl. It was a repeat... but it was a repeat of my favorite episode... so I was happy to watch it. I also watched Mindy Project with Stephen Colbert as a guest star... it was fantastic. I'm upset Mindy is having a boy. I hope she ends up having a girl cause... I always want people to have a girl. Lol. There is also a study or something that says that usually when someone on a tv show has a baby, its a boy. So I want more baby girls on tv.

I forget if I mentioned this last week... but I watched the end of Borat which is really funny still and the beginning of Role Models... which is a really underrated movie. It was like my favorite when it came out and its still really really good and I love it. David Wain who directed Wet Hot American Summer directed it... he's one of the funniest people. I'm a big fan. Its really good. I love the movie and I may watch the full movie this week... if its somewhere I can get to on my shelf.

I also watched a little of Tosh.0... this I have similar feelings as I do to Jimmy Kimmel. Daniel Tosh is really funny and the show isn't unfunny at all... it just isn't really my cup of tea. I love the idea of it, I love viral videos... but meh. A lot of people obsess over this show and I'm just not into it. I just watch it because its before Kroll Show. Which I also watched... I'm actually watching it as I write this. This is such a great show... I'm sad its ending but I'm excited because I know there will be more from this. I am really loving Body Bouncers... Chelsea Peretti is one of my favorite people... she's really really funny. I love Jon Daily too... just sooo funny. And Reff Jeff. So great. And Aziz... soooo much great in this episode. Lol.

I also watched a few things as I was falling asleep/while I was asleep but I figured I might as well mention them. I didn't want to fall asleep too much because I didn't want to roll over and hurt my ankle, so I put on The Comedy Central Roast of James Franco before I went to bed. I really liked this even though I don't love roasts. I liked that they got real comedians to do this instead of just actors that knew James Franco. Its also kind of funny for a few other reasons... they poked a lot of fun at Nick Kroll, Aziz Ansari, Natasha Leggero, Andy Samberg and Bill Hader... and I feel like they've all been pretty successful since then. Andy has a Golden Globe for Brooklyn 99, which is also doing pretty well and was renewed for season 3. Nick Kroll had Kroll Show and he's dating Amy Poehler, which automatically bumps him up to sexiest man on earth. Bill Hader is Stephon, one of the best SNL characters ever and he's done movies since then... idk he's kind of a big deal now I think. Natasha Leggero may not be a huge deal, but she was on at midnight a lot last year and she's touring a lot. And Aziz has has 2 stand up specials now, and a tv show that just ended... I'm sure he'll have another coming up and a book. Also Jonah Hill, probably the most successful person on the stage, other than Franco, was not super funny. He was funny... but idk. He seemed afraid to make fun of anyone other than Sarah Silverman. He wasn't bad or anything... he didn't stink or bomb or anything, I just felt like he was the least funny. And I love Jonah Hill, he's a hero of mine comedy wise... but not the best at Stand Up I thought. That was a long thing. I just thought this wad funny and worth investigation I guess.

Also while I was trying to fall asleep in the morning I saw that Mad About You was on... and I'm mentioning that in an upcoming post, so I won't talk to much about it. Also I was asleep for most of it, but this is a pretty underrated show right? It was a funny show and now its mostly known as Phoebe's sister Ursula's show. And then In Living Color came on... again I was asleep for most of it, but the theme song is good and I heard some of a funny Star Trek sketch. Then Parks and Rec came on and I slept through most of that also, but I woke up when the first Louis CK episode was on... so that was a nice surprise.

There was also some weird stuff with the late night shows this week. Late Night and The Tonight Show were repeats, so I watched those on Monday, but I didn't really want to hear outdated jokes all week, so I switched back to Comedy Central, which is all new. Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer were on The Daily show on Tuesday and that was nice. And I really Like At Midnight and Willmore... so thats good too!

Speaking of Abbi and Illana... Broad City was really really great last night. I feel like its going to become a huge hit because of that episode. I already love it, its already kind of a hit... but they have been promoting it a lot this week and they had 3 amazing guests on this weeks episode. Alia Shawkat aka Maebe Funke was on as a love twintrest of Illana. Lol. You can get my pun there if you know what these two ladies look like. Kelly Ripa played a "broad city" version of herself... and was absolutely amazing in it. She was wayyyy funnier than I would have expected her to be and it was just really amazing altogether. And David Wain, director of some of my favorite movies was in it also. So yeah, it was a really really funny episode.

I also watched some repeats of The Goldbergs that I hadn't seen before that were on... This is probably my favorite ABC comedy. Its funny. And I watched the repeat of Modern Family, which I had seen but nothing else was on... and it was a good episode. And also the Blackish Blooper special... I wasn't a fan. I mean it was more than just a half hour blooper reel, the cast talked about some of their favorite moments of the show, and I guess it is a different alternative to another repeat, and they've shown a lot of their repeats already... I think there have been 2 or 3 marathons of the show and its only in its first season... so it makes sense to not show another repeat and show a special instead... so I guess that was a good thing.

And I watched Grey's Anatomy and Scandal! Grey's was really good this week. Scandal was really good too. I didn't think Scandal was the greatest of recently... but it was still really good and the end was pretty exciting I thought. It was really well done and well directed and edited and everything. They were both super good!

And I just watched Shark Tank. I love Shark Tank! Lol.

Byeee!

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
