TV Weekend: Andy Samberg's Sloppy Seconds, Lost Teaser, I Hate Bobby Flay
-After the initial shock wore off and I successfully fought the urge to vomit, I realized that Andy Samberg's latest digital short is actually pretty funny, if extremely lewd. Mostly though I just love the cameos from Jamie Lynn Siegler (currently dating Entourage's Turtle of all people), Molly Sims, and JT (!?, as the cleanup in aisle 3 guy).
-With only a month and a half to go, the premiere of Lost Season 5 is imminent. How better to rejoice than with a 2 minute promo segment from the 1st episode, "Because You Left". If you must there are also plenty of spoiler videos surfacing with plenty of predictions for the season as well.
-When I was in college I had an arch-nemesis. My nemesis was one of my closest friend's best friend. She enjoyed making fun of me in languages, namely Hindi, that I could not understand and generally made me look like an idiot at every potential opportunity. Though she certainly got on my nerves, the title of nemesis was honorific and playful, I just don't have the heart to actually dislike anybody that much. So please understand what I mean when I say I hate Bobby Flay. Nothing against his food, or probably even his real life personality. But the man's on-air ego I just cannot stand. Flay bases all of his shows (Iron Chef, Throwdown!) on the premise that he is G-d's gift to mankind and a culinary superstar. Not just that, but his ego even prompted a cross cultural hubbub after he finally succeeded in beating Iron Chef Morimoto on the original Japanese Iron Chef. So hopefully you can understand why I was so tickled to see that I am not alone in my sentiments. I'm just waiting for the day that I bump into Flay on the street and challenge him to a throwdown...
PS: Be on the lookout for a Full House re-vamp helmed by John Stamos. Somebody must be nearing bankruptcy...lucky for him though poor is in this season.
