TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[thrill]

A similar thing happened to Dave as happened to Conan. They moved from 11:30 and became more bland. They got [expletive] by NBC and Leno and became more bland/nihilistic.

The only difference is that the late night market hadn't been saturated when Dave jumped, so he found a cushy, relevant slot on a relevant network. Conan didn't. They were both at their best when they were on Late Night.

Weiner clears the air around the Mad Men finale: http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv ... welcome-ad

Don definitely went back and did the coke ad in that universe.

Or Super Dave Osborne, and the running gag of bringing Dave an awesome gift and Paul a crappy one, then hawking some ridiculous book.

His bits with Super Dave Osborne were just hilarious and awesome.

Random trivia: Super Dave Osborne's brother is Albert Brooks.

...I just heard a radio commercial in which "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" was mixed with the McDonald's jingle for McDonald's. It was terrible.

So I see some video my daughter's watching on her ipad, "The Tail of Mimi the Mermaid". It seemed like a pretty low-rent affair, a 6-minute video shot on digital video, with these two tween girls, one of whom is the mermaid and is wearing a pink wig and a mermaid's tail that look like together they'd cost about $5. Read the description under the video, which was semi-literate, and judging from the photo was made by some other tween girl.

It had nearly 37 million views.

I'm so glad they brought Baghead back, and they hit it out of the park with the storyline. I hope we see more of him

Also, we're 2 seasons in and I can't tell if Erlich is an idiot or a genius. I strongly lean towards the former but the show gives just enough of a dose of the latter.

I hope they keep the new programmer. Show needs a strong female character.

The pilot for "The Whispers" on ABC was good. Between that and Wayward Pines, it's looking like a good summer of TV for me.
