Premier Week Part II

Okay, so I realized that there are only a handful of shows I can actually stand right now. But here's a quick recap of what I watched the last half of the week.

The Office (Thurs. 9:00 pm NBC)

The best comedy on TV returns. I'm gonna miss Rashida Jones. The Office starts up on the same high note that it left off last season. Too many things to list, but I really love the fact that they are keeping the Jim-Pam romance as a side story rather than the main focal point of the show. It's still all about Michael and the office as a whole. Favorite Line from this week:

Michael: Kelli you are a Hindu so you believe in Buddha right?
Kelli: That's Buddhists.
Michael: Are you sure?
Kelli: No.

Saturday Night Live (Sat. 11:30 pm, NBC)

The much hyped season premiere featuring LeBron James was a neutered mess. Usually the key to a successful athlete hosting comedy is a willingness to take a self depreciating approach to his reputaion or career. Michael Jordan,Joe Montanna, Walter Payton, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady all went out of the box and allowed themselves to stripped down and mocked. LeBron on the other hand seems like he had to have everything approved by the image police. Maybe it was shit writing. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if musical guest Kanye West didn't totally upstage him with the sketch which involved him confronting award winners, including an eight year old state fair winner for best pumpkin. "Sneaky Cameras!"


Jermaine Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik

This isn't a show that premiered but it was a hell of a boxing match. I'm not in any one camp when it comes to boxing, MMA, or even Pro-Wrestling. I'm just a fan of ass-kicking and I'm happy to say that Saturday night I got to see an ass kicking. I'm not going to go into it too much but if you're a fan of ass kicking too catch the replay on HBO.



I'll probably be keeping tabs on Reaper, Bionic Woman, the Office and some others this week to get a regular recap schedule going.

Fashion Trends I Wanna See: Get yer Halo thug on!

Aight, I ain't gonna front. I ain't the one when it comes to Halo 3. The last time I played a Halo game was a few weeks ago and I got shivved to death on a four way screen a buttload. Still you gotta give props to a game whose sales reached $170 Million. Compare this to the highest and movie weekend opening of the year, Spider-Man 3, which grossed $151 million and you got a little shake up in the entertainment industry about to happen.

Now I've seen video game clothes but they usually lean towards emo/Hot Topic crowd. Like rockin' the Mario shirt is gonna get you any clam.

The fashion trend I wanna see is reppin' the Halo 3 and gettin' yer thug on at the same time. Back from an extended break is our TC and M male model, Dartagnan, live from a midnight Halo 3 sale, with an example of what I'm talkin' bout yo!

Premiere Week!

With the new TV season in full swing this week I thought I'd give y'all the rundown on some of this weeks season premieres. Then I realized something. I don;t watch as nearly as much TV as I think I do, So I've had to actually force myself to watch at least one premiere a night this week. So here's Tortilla Chips and Milk's midweek TV report. Bridal Edition.


Something Old...
How I met Your Mother (Monday 8:30pm CBS)

The third season of my second favorite sitcom (out of two) guest stars Enrique Inglesias and Mandy Moore as Robin and Ted try to get over their last season breakup. Enrique is the perfect rebound guy from Hell and sends Ted into neurotic spiral. In his quest to "win" the break up he ends up with a tramped up Mandy Moore. Ted somehow manages to get a "tramp stamp" as well. At least it wasn't syphilis The only bad part is that we had to hear both guest stars sing. Blech! I'm definitely sticking aqround for another season.

Something New...

Reaper (Tuesday 9 pm. CW)

I picked this premiere for the simple fact that it was directed by KEvin Smith. What I got was a Male Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a homeless man's Jack Black sidekick. The premise works pretty well for episodic TV. A 21 year old slacker finds out that his parents sold his soul to the DEVIL (Bwak!) In return he has to capture escaped souls from Hell. The Devil happens to be played by the same guy who played Leland Palmer on Twin Peaks, and yeah, he gives me the creeps. Looks like Reaper is gonna be a freak of the week type show with a some young adult emo drama thrown in. It was good stuff, but I happened to catch the pilot over the summer and noticed they had changed the love interest of the show from Nikki Reed (The OC) to Missy Peregrym (Stick It!) based on her guest spot on Heroes as an Illusionist, Michael. I have to say that I was impressed by Nikki Reed's OC run and is more my taste so I was kinda diappointed. Still the new choice isn't tough on the eyes either. I'll stick with it unless they pull a Smallville and turn all the focus on the chick.

Something Borrowed...

Bionic Woman (Wed. 9pm NBC)

This show reminds me of another show I've seen before. It's on the tip of my tongue...oh yeah it's DARK ANGEL! Seriously, they really don't take anything from the old 70's version of Bionic Woman other than the title and the Jamie Somers name . There is no Steve Austin singing Jamie songs or her crushing tennis balls. Quick Tangent: Wouldn't it be cool if they brought in "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to play the modern day Six-Million-Dollar-Man Steve Austin? What? Anyway while it takes little from the original Bionic Woman it lifts a shit load from Dark Angel and it's cybernetic, weapon of death, skin tight, chick fighting, stylings. I got one thing to say about that. "Word". It drags in the setup, but from the showdown with Bionic Woman v 1.0 to Jamie's hardcore speech about burying anyone they send after her it won me over. Two hot chicks fighting in the rain didn't hurt one bit.

Something Blew...

Private Practice (Wed 9pm ABC)

Take this as you will. It is paced exactly like Grey's Anatomy. If you like Grey's you will probably love this show. Me? I thought I would give it a shot since Addison was one of the few GA characters I liked and I did like the writing at times. After seeing the naked towel dancing sequence I wish that she could be my Black Kate Walsh tonight. Seriously. So that, combined with the pacing which was so annoyingly Grey's that I yelled "Focus" milliseconds before the cast did and that the formulaic GA wacky patient them is carrying over (They had to take semen from a dead guy) I decided to flip the channel and never look back.

Until I find a new catchphrase: That's how I roll, suckas!
