  • Top Ten Returning Shows: #1 - TIE: "30 Rock" & "Terminator"


    The new fall season is almost here. Starting next week, the cable and broadcast networks will be begin rolling out new episodes of all the shows that survived the writers-strike-afflicted 2007-2008 season, giving us the chance to get acquainted with some old friends -- and reacquaint ourselves with more than a few characters who we met only fleetingly last fall. Here, then, are the top ten returning shows that we're most looking forward to seeing.

     

    It's a tie! We're as surprised as you are! (No, really; you have no idea.)

    Here's the thing: we pretty much knew that 30 Rock would be at the top of this list. Its qualifications? Um, let's see... Amadeus parodies, blue dudes, werewolf bar mitzvahs, the Shinehardt Wig Company, "mind grapes," a seemingly endless supply of Conan O'Brien jokes, Tim Conway being racist,  Paul Reubens being inbred, Will Arnett being Will Arnett, "MIND GRAPES" again, The Rural Juror, "Muffin Top," and Tracy Morgan saying "I was poopin' in the ladies room at the Ivy." Done.

    But we totally did not expect Terminator to be right up there with it.

  • "Dirt": Probably The Last And Only Time You'll Ever See That Show's Title In A Headline Here

    We admit it: we kind of liked Dirt, the gossip mag drama that was just cancelled by FX. It was incomprehensible sometimes, yeah, and dumb, and occasionally made us want to take a shower. But something about it appealed to the sleazier angels of our nature. Was it the way that it tried to be a Law & Order for the 21st Century, gutting real-life tabloid news as fodder for its slightly-fictionalized version of Hollywood? (L.A. & Order, perhaps?) Maybe it was the unpredictable string of cameos: Vincent Gallo, Paul Reubens, Stormy Daniels, and most famously, a game-for-girl-on-girl Jennifer Aniston (see above). Or was it the fact that we found the whole plotline with Courteney Cox having trouble getting herself off unnervingly raw and surprisingly hot.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhh, riiiiiight; prolly it was that.

    Good luck Court; give Dave a hug for us!

Bloggers


Bryan Christian has worked as a writer for Epicurious, GenArt and ID magazine; a web producer for WWD and Condé Nast; and a cameraman for his friends. He's married with roommate and lives in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

She just earned her MFA in Creative Writing and has been published in Beeswax literary journal. She is unable to resist good writing or bad TV.
