I loved The State in college. I'm so glad the individuals are still a presence in today's pop culture: in Reno 911, Sierra Mist commercials, Wet Hot American Summer, The Baxter (such a good, uncomfortable movie!!!)...
I can't wait to own The State DVD so I can show Will the silliness, and so he can see why I like the actors from the troupe so much.
YAY!
Why is network television messing with me? First NBC moves Earl and the Office to Thursdays. That's fine, no gaping hole in Tuesday because they finally put Scrubs back on TV. With that move, I could DVR all the NBC shows from 8 - 10 and watch the OC at 8 and CSI at 9. It was still ok.
Then FOX moved The OC to 9pm! Three hours of TV I want to see in one time slot?!? The DVR will only record 2 things, and I have to be watching one of them! So now I have to DVR Earl, The Office, and CSI, and watch The OC in another room! Or set up a VCR to tape one of the three shows in the other room! A fricking VCR!!! I've been reduced to using a VCR! Maybe I can get an 8-Track player on Ebay, and I can get down with my bad self.
THEN, FOX moved That 70s Show to Thursday! I don't know if it's a permanent move. If it is, then there's even more of a gaping hole in Wednesday then there was before. Plus, if it is, there are even more shows I have to DVR on Thursday!
Why are they messing with me?!?
Looks like I was wrong on all counts, except all the rockers coming back! Congrats to JD. After he started singing, I knew he'd win it.
I was wrong... Will thinks Marty will win, and that he should turn it down.
Oh boy, the last show is upon us! My favorite band in high school! I think MiG will win. Marty is more talented and has more vision than them, and JD is a poser. I hope all the other contestants come back. I heart Jordis and Susie and Heather.
I've seen 50 First Dates a couple of times on cable. It's a REALLY sweet movie. In it, Adam Sandler sings a song to Drew Barrymore, and a line from that is stuck in my head... "Forgetful Lucy, Cracked her head like Gary Busey". Now go turn on cable and find "50 First Dates" on your On Demand channel and watch it!!!
It premieres tonight! Yahoo has 2 sneak previews! I heart Summer! Here she is from the Chrismukkah episode...
If anyone calls me between 8 & 9, please leave a message!
I saw a funny live show last night. It was a re-enactment of "Sixteen Candles". Amy Poehler and Amy Miles directed it. It starred a lot of people from the current cast of SNL and the former The State crew. There was a great live band, Soundtracks Live, dressed all in 80s gear. I'm sad they didn't have a program, so I could remember everyone I saw, and all the songs I heard.
For an idea of what I saw, look at the pictures from their Pretty in Pink stage show. The same actor from those pictures was Molly Ringwald last night. He was great as Sam.
You can see a lot of last night's cast in Wet Hot American Summer. You SHOULD see/rent/buy that!
I hope there are more shows to see! They taped this for VH1, so hopefully it's just the beginning!
Damn that William Hung! Damn American Idol! Damn the common man for making it all so popular! That effing song is stuck in my head. She Bangs on continuous loop! I hated it when Ricky Martin sang it! ARGH!
