TV BREAKDOWN THURSDAY: Atlanta Name Breakdown

Some quick changes to the blog... 

So I used to like doing Friends Friday every Friday- and I still like doing that but... I wanted to do other shows too and I think I'm going to move my Weekly Wrap up to Friday and I'll still do TV reviews on Saturday... but I might not post on Sunday. I might still... but that's the blog I always miss anyway. And with that... here's the post. 

So... The Names on Atlanta 

So yeah. My boyfriend and I started watching Atlanta... kind of the most brilliant show on television... like... they have an episode that's basically a horror episode with none of the main characters... and it's hilarious and actually really really deep... I'll come back to this episode sometime soon on this but... it's a really great show. 

But a couple of the names on the show stand out and you can tell they have deeper meaning. 

Earnest "Earn" Marks- Okay so Donald Glover's character is Earn. So the show centers around Earnest being kinda broke. Kind of down on his luck in his marriage- which is now kind of an open marriage... and he finds out that his cousin Alfred is Paper Boi- who's an up and coming rapper... so Earnest figures he could get a job from his cousin and a lot of the episodes in the first season center around him trying to earn money. Plus- he's an Earnest guy on the show. His name makes a lot of sense. 

Vanessa/ Van- So Zazie Beetz plays his wife Vanessa who he refers to as Van. Earn and Van's relationship is kind of on the rocks... to say the least. One of Van's comments is that Earn always treat's her like an accessory. Like because Earn has a family- he has her... just like why people drive Van's. 

So yeah! That's everything... I'm sure there's more... there's a lot to this show and... yeah! 

Bye!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
