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.

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...
