Scribbles About TV: Nobodies Review

TV Land has been coming up with more and more interesting original series. I haven’t seen Younger yet… but that looks interesting. From what I’ve seen of Throwing Shade, it is AMAZING… and most recently they have this show created by Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone. 

Now this one is a little bit different… I like it a lot, but whereas something like Trial and Error I can say “If you love Arrested Development and Parks and Rec, you’ll love this!” Or with Imaginary Mary… which I don’t necessarily think I mentioned in the review… but I would compare it to Lizzie McGuire or Trophy Wife… and Elfman’s character is almost reminiscent of Dharma… so if you liked Dharma, then you might like this too. 

Nobodies I would recommend if you are a writer, a filmmaker… or if you just liked things before they got popular. I don’t necessarily think everyone that loved Identity Theif of The Boss would love this… but if you like behind the scenes types of shows… you might like this. It reminds me of very early episodes of Arrested Development and 30 Rock. 

And it seems like something that will be cool… but it’s going to take a while to catch on… like Arrested Development and 30 Rock. I’m sure it’ll still be on TV Land for a while… but it probably is an expensive show… and I can’t really seeing this being something that everyone will love. I’m not even sure I can tell if I love it from just the Pilot… but I’ll sort of explain why I do like it. 

It’s not really laugh out loud funny… but it does start out funny and it gets progressively funnier as the show goes on. Like at the beginning these 3 “nobodies” are at a Groundling’s show with very famous people… then they have a meeting with someone and they say they have Melissa McCarthy signed on for their movie, then they try giving the script to Melissa’s husband Ben Falcone, and then they try pitching it to Jason Bateman… and it just gets better and better. It’s really well paced and it just makes it really come together at the end of the episode. It just makes it so funny and good! 

I think that’s it. I’m liking this, I’ll continue watching it… it isn’t my favorite show in the world… but it might be one of my favorites on right now… and I just liked it as a whole. It’s a good one. 


So I recommend checking this out at least… and if the pilot doesn’t really make you laugh… maybe check out something like Trial and Error and then check back. It’s really something I think a lot of people will talk about soon.

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 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...

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...
