Lost con Matthew Fox




De las tantas entrevistas que le han hecho a Matthew Fox, hay cosas algunas cosas interesantes que ha ido soltando:

¿Se enfrentará Jack a Ben en la última temporada de Lost?

No, va a tener un enemigo mucho mayor contra el que luchar. Pero no puedo entrar en detalles porque los productores van a enviar a su hombre de negro para secuestrarme y silenciarme. Pero te puedo decir algo: en la sexta temporada no habrá flashbacks y la historia se contará de forma lineal sin saltos temporales.

Mi opinión: si esto es así, si los Losties han saltado al 2008-09, se acabó Dharma y me sentiré muy decepcionado en este tema, mucho. Porque era un de los temas jugosos de la Isla aunque espero equivocarme y no sea así. Por otro lado, el mito Ben creo que se está cayendo, y espero que no se caiga tampoco el mito Richard. Ya se cayó el mito Abbadon.

True Blood S02E02 - Keep This Party Going "Comentario"




Me encanta como me atrapa el aire True Blood. Segundo capítulo de la 2ª temporada y me ha encantado. Ya podemos ver unas cuantas historias independientes, que no sabemos si se juntarán en algun capítulo. Por un lado tenemos a Tara y a Eggs, certificando una relación amorosa. Por otro a Sam y Maryann con su interesante "pelea", el momento bar con todos bailando debido al poder de ella es genial, viendo a Andy ido de la olla. Lafayette lo tendremos pronto convertido como vampiro a manos de Eric y sus secuaces, ni me imagino lo que puede hacer este hombre suelto por las noches. Eric necesita la ayuda de Sookie para ir a Dallas en busca de un vampiro, pero Bill niega en dejar a Sookie en manos de Eric. Jason lo está teniendo difícil con los de la Iglesia del Sol, y ahora que está teniendo recuerdos de su ayuda al vampiro Eddie, y no sé por donde tirarán con esta historia.
Y acabo con la escena de Billy entrando en casa de Jessica, ya dije que este personaja daría juego en esta temporada. Me ha encantado el momento de dejar entrar a Billy, donde justamente nos han dejado con un mini cliffhanger. El Lunes próximo más sangre fresca y de calidad.

Why Aren't They More Famous...?

Last week I went to see a little movie called ‘The Hangover’ at my local multiplex and in spite of people still not being able to abide my law of the cinema (no talking after the second Pearl & Dean clip) I thoroughly enjoyed a very funny film that I would highly recommended to anyone (check last week’s blog for a more in depth review).

The main reason I went to see ‘The Hangover’ was its three male leads: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms – three very funny men whose work I have always enjoyed immensely. ‘The Hangover’ should be the big break that these three previously shockingly overlooked comedy actors deserve and hopefully we will now get to see a great deal more from all three of them.

This got me to thinking though: which other actors/comedians are there out there who are criminally virtually unknown to the mainstream and deserve wider recognition for their comedy genius?

So here are five very funny men who, I think, if there’s any justice in the world, are due a ‘Hangover’-esque big break…


5. Jeff Garlin

Sure he co-stars in one of the best TV comedies out there but beyond his work on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Jeff Garlin has been criminally ignored.

I’m willing to overlook his misjudgement in agreeing to dress like a giant carrot to appear in ‘Daddy Day Care’ because this man is a very funny stand-up comedian with great comic timing as an actor.

Garlin has directed two other brilliantly funny stand-up comedians in Denis Leary and Jon Stewart for their respective HBO Specials as well as directing several episodes of ‘Curb’ and writing/directing a feature film.

He has guest starred on a plethora of TV comedies but it is his work as Larry David’s put upon agent Jeff Greene in the award-winning ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ that is Garlin’s most recognised. Garlin also produces ‘Curb’ and his contribution to this ground-breaking show cannot be underestimated.

One of my favourite Garlin roles was that of host at the painfully funny ‘The Comedy Central Roast of Denis Leary’ (Lenny Clarke’s “fuck the Kennedys story still makes me laugh just thinking about it!) where he proved that he could handle hosting duties with suitable aplomb – I personally think he’d be a great choice for the OSCARS.

‘Curb’ has obviously opened doors for Jeff Garlin and even if it has just exposed a few more people to a very funny man then it has done its job – although many people will probably know his voice more than his face after his voice roll in the sublime ‘Wall*E’.

Jeff Garlin is a larger than life (literally) character and deserves to be so much more renowned than he is, he may not be getting any younger but if ‘Curb’ continues to enjoy success then there still could be time yet for Jeff Garlin to become one of the world’s biggest (literally) comedy stars.

4. Kevin Nealon

As I have discussed in the past, American comedy institution ‘Saturday Night Live’ can either be a gift or a curse to its alumni – and unfortunately the very funny Kevin Nealon has been struck by the latter for many years.

Nealon debuted on ‘SNL’ in the 1987-88 season and remained with the show for nine seasons, during which time he became anchor on the show’s popular ‘Weekend Update’ segment.

In the years since ‘SNL’, Nealon has appeared in several films with his former ‘SNL’ co-star Adam Sandler, like Jeff Garlin he also made the ill-advised decision to appear in the lamentable ‘Daddy Day Care’.

Nealon is a very funny man, his background in stand-up obviously giving him a strong foundation for the jump to screen – he has great screen presence and comic timing, can make you laugh with a simple look and has an acerbic wit.

His appearances on one of the most unintentionally hilarious shows of recent years ‘Celebrity Poker Showdown’ were always a highlight as it gave him a chance to showcase his biting sarcasm, yet quite warm personality. Like many a fine comedy actor, Nealon was also excellent in his cameos on the genius ‘The Larry Sanders Show’.


Nealon has recently gone some way to ridding himself of the dreaded ‘SNL’ curse with his role on a show that I really need to get into properly – the very black comedy ‘Weeds’.

As Doug Wilson, the fun-loving city councilman with a penchant for smoking weed, Nealon is perfectly cast – even going as far as improvising a large amount of Doug’s dialogue.

‘Weeds’ is currently airing its fifth season in the States on the vastly improved Showtime network, in its previous four seasons it has garnered a number of award nominations and wins, but as yet Nealon has been overlooked.

If he continues to be one of the best things about the show though, then maybe he will finally get that recognition he so richly deserves.

3. Jason Jones

When former ‘Daily Show’ lead correspondent Rob Corddry left the show he jokingly claimed the reason was that Jason Jones had raised the bar too high and that he wasn’t able to say the things to people that Jones does.

While many of his former ‘Daily Show’ peers, such as Corddry, have left and gone on to bigger things Jason Jones has remained on the show that made him.

Since we finally got ‘The Daily Show’ in the UK a few years back, Jones has consistently been my favourite ‘Daily Show’ correspondent – he recently had me in tears with his gag to New York Times executive editor Bill Keller.

During a report on how traditional newspapers are struggling against the internet, when Jones asked Keller to tell him a joke (I forget the context) Keller suggested Jones tell him one – has this guy never watched ‘The Daily Show’!? – to which Jones duly replied “What’s black and white and red all over?”

A classic right…? Quick as a cat Keller replied innocently “a newspaper” to which Jones beautifully responded “no, your balance sheets…”

‘The Daily Show’ special reports are designed to, in a similar vein to Sascha Baron Cohen’s comedy creations, expose people’s ignorance by making themselves sound stupid. Jason Jones just does it in the most hilarious fashion though, and he has quickly become Jon Stewart’s MVP.

Outside of ‘The Daily Show’ Jones’ work has been limited; he has appeared in the inexplicably popular US sitcom ‘How I Met Your Mother’, as well as several commercials.

Married to fellow ‘Daily Show’ star Samantha Bee, with whom he has two children, Jones is reportedly currently working on a sitcom with his wife in which he will star.

Given the success that other, less funny, ‘Daily Show’ alumni have gone to achieve it should only be a matter of time before Jason Jones goes on to achieve great things and although it will be sad to see him leave ‘The Daily Show’ I would be the first person in line to check out whatever he comes out with next.


2. Eric Christian Olsen

Eric Christian Olsen played the ill-fated George Mason’s son on season 2 of ‘24’, and as if that wasn’t cool enough; he’s also a very funny actor.

Olsen moved to tinsel town just before the turn of the Millennium and quickly found success and critical acclaim in TV drama such as ‘ER’. His first series role was on the short lived FOX dramedy ‘Get Real’ opposite Anne Hathaway.

Olsen soon found his forte though when he made the move into comedy and he has racked up supporting roles in a veritable smorgasbord of comedy films, invariably being the best thing in gash films, i.e. ‘The Hot Chick’, ‘Not Another Teen Movie’, ‘Beerfest’ and ‘License to Wed’.

Olsen also had the unenviable task of filling Jim Carrey’s shoes when he played Lloyd Christmas in the horribly ill-conceived ‘Dumb and Dumber’ prequel – Olsen was again the best thing in the film and actually came away from the film not only unscathed but with certain plaudits.

Eric Christian Olsen first came to my attention playing Jensen Ritchie on the short-lived second season of ‘Tru Calling’ and Olsen has continued to combine both supporting roles in drama and comedy on both the big and small screens.

After stealing the show in yet another supporting film role in the Zach Braff-starring ‘The Last Kiss’ – which boasted an excellent cast (Braff, Casey Affleck, Michael Weston), Olsen landed a series regular slot on yet another TV show that wouldn’t survive too long when he played Sully on ‘The Loop’ opposite ‘Reaper’ star Bret Harrison.

In his short career Olsen has proved himself to be a versatile actor but it is his aptitude for comedy that should eventually make him a massive star. He has the goofy, slacker friend shtick down to a fine art, but hopefully his drama work should prevent him becoming typecast, as he is capable of so much more.

Olsen’s gift for comedy has gained a cult following in the last year or so thanks to Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s website Funny or Die. There are a series of videos circulating starring Olsen as Perry Hilton – a borderline retarded male socialite unashamedly based on Paris Hilton.

The video of him annoying Jeremy Piven is great and there is also a spoof sex tape with Eva Longoria, but it is the video of Perry being caught drink driving that always has me in stitches and features the genius line: “I went over to Lindsay Lohan's barbecue. And by barbecue, I mean she heated me up a hot pocket and blew me."

Hopefully Perry Hilton could start the internet buzz that kick starts Olsen’s career and just remember: “life’s tasty”.

1. Michael Ian Black

Michael Ian Black is the proverbial ‘Jack of all trades’ – comedian, writer, actor and a damn good poker player.

His book ‘My Custom Van… And 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays’ is a spectacularly funny read and has turned me into a huge fan of this very funny man.

Please follow the link below and start following him on twitter, he has some of the funniest, non-sequitar updates I’ve seen and the fact that he has amassed close to 700,000 followers speaks volumes.

He even instigated what he dubbed the “World’s first twitter war” with Levar Burton (the guy who played Kunta Kinte) to see who could get the most followers.

Black first came to real prominence in the States as a commentator on the ‘I Love the…’ series – we get Kate Thornton they get Michael Ian Black, how’s that fair!?

Along with members of his comedy group The State, Black performed on the shows ‘Viva Variety’ and ‘Stella’, he also had a supporting role in the dramedy ‘Ed’.

He has recently been seen on the awesome ‘Reaper’ as a gay (now dead) demon alongside another very talented comedy writer Ken Marino and his new Comedy Central show ‘Michael and Michael Have Issues’ with frequent collaborator Michael Showalter begins next month in the States.

Black co-wrote ‘Run, Fatboy Run’ with Simon Pegg – a man who has great taste in comedy – and he also wrote and directed, slightly less impressively, ‘Wedding Daze’, the spontaneous marriage comedy that starred “the pie-fucker” himself Jason Biggs.

As with Nealon and Garlin, Black also appeared on ‘Celebrity Poker Showdown’ and was consistently praised for his poker playing as well as being extremely entertaining at the table.

Black’s comedy is very pop-culture heavy and is the sort of thing that I personally eat up, he has proved with his screenwriting, his stand-up and his book that he is an exceptionally funny man and it’s about time that more people knew about him.

Other Televisual Musings this Week:

- While tucking into the Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings I had as a starter for my Chinese takeaway on Saturday night, I caught a bit of ‘Totally Saturday’.

Now this new BBC Saturday night show has been on for a couple of weeks now and I’ve already seen most TV critics completely lambasting it but I thought I’d give it a chance… Turns out the likes of Hyland and Ross were right it, because what I saw was an unadulterated pile of fresh, steaming horse shit.

You’ve got to feel for Graham Norton, ever since he signed that golden handcuffs deal with the BBC they’ve had no idea what to do with him – all that money they’re paying him and they still haven’t found a decent vehicle for him beyond the rehash of his old Channel 4 chat show, which, while enjoyable still feels watered down.

So instead they just throw him at every new Saturday schedule filler that they dream up (although whether the term ‘dream up’ really applies to the most shameless rip-off of ‘Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’ the world will ever see remains to be seen).

Watching ‘Totally Saturday’ on Saturday night, Norton looked like he would have rather been anywhere but there and gave new meaning to the phrase ‘going through the motions’ – this is the lamest incarnation of the Saturday night variety show I’ve seen yet and actually made me long for John Barrowman to return.

The BBC are clearly just treading water until ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ comes back to save Saturday nights, which when they have the unmitigated gall to continue claiming a license fee, is more outrageous than an MP’s expenses claim.

- I don’t think I’ve ever flip-flopped in my feelings towards a show as I have done with the second season of ‘Flight of the Conchords’, but this week gave us probably the best episode of the season so far and one of the show’s all time best.

It had it all, great gags, plenty of Dave and Murray, an ace song and some brilliant guest stars, including a bonkers cameo from Art Garfunkel.

- ‘Kerry Katona: What’s the Problem?’ – Where do I start?

TV Moment of the Week:

Larry David breaking his talk show boycott to appear on ‘The Daily Show’. Larry and Jon Stewart were in Jew heaven together and it made for a very funny interview.

Televisual Musings and Beyond... 12th - 19th June 2009

It’s been a busy old week this week with no time for feature writing and I don’t want to over do my usual lazy get out clause ‘What I Learned from Watching TV this Week’ so instead here are some musings, televisual and beyond, from the past week…

Be sure to hit up TV or not TV next week though for a Why Aren’t they More Famous? Special - featuring five very underrated, and very funny, actors/comedians who don’t get the recognition they deserve… But back to this week’s musings:

- I know it’s not cool to admit it but I like ‘8 out of 10 Cats’, there I said it…

“My name is Gareth, and I like ‘8 out of 10 Cats’… Hi, group”


The panel show returned to our screens this past week and as usual was very, very funny. Clarkson is always a great guest on any show and the two captains Jason Manford and Sean Lock are two exceptionally funny men (Lock in particular) but the real surprise was ‘Apprentice’ favourite James McQuillan who held his own with the comedians and actually contributed more and was funnier than the female comic whose name escapes me (she made that much of an impression!)

So here’s to something funny to finally watch on a Friday night after a few beers other than Jonathan Ross (who had another good line-up last week, with the exception of Sue Perkins obviously – Sue from Mel & Sue Wossy? Really? Who pulled out?) because I’m not ashamed to say it loud and proud – “I like 8 out of 10 Cats!”

- I tweeted it earlier this week, but why have I not been watching the U.S. ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’?

Two Baldwin brothers, Lou Diamond Phillips and Rod Blagojevich’s wife in the jungle - it sounds like the greatest B-Movie ever!

Why don’t we ever get a line-up like that!? We should be grateful though, when you see that our Trans-Atlantic brethren get Mylene Klass as a co-host it makes you appreciate just how great Ant & Dec are… Even if Dec is tapping Georgie Thompson – I still haven’t forgiven him for that…

- Seen as we’re going beyond this week, I thought I’d take a moment to talk about my football team (I mean that figuratively, I don’t own them) Sheffield Wednesday, who will not be having a corporate sponsor plastered across their shirts this coming season, but instead will be seen sporting the name and logo of a local children’s hospital and will donate profits from shirt sales to said hospital.

Now, not to get all self-righteous and preachy on you, but in a game that is increasingly becoming more and more about the money, for a club who are still in mountains of debt to give up a potentially lucrative sponsorship deal for charity - especially in the current financial climate - to me is a very classy move, and one that makes me even prouder to be a fan of the blue half of Sheffield…

…I just hope this good karma translates on to the pitch - bring on Barnsley on the opening day of the season!

- ‘House’ continues to be highly enjoyable in its fifth season – I still can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get into this brilliant show; but this week’s episode made me wonder if Olivia Wilde is consciously taking on bi-curious roles.

After playing man (and woman) eater Alex on ‘The O.C.’ her Dr. ‘Thirteen’ Hadley is also swinging both ways, could this have played into her recent ranking as number 1 on Maxim’s Hot 100 list? A cynical man would say yes, given that the world’s supposed sexiest woman Megan Fox has also admitted to playing for both sides – it’s lucky I’m not a cynical man then…

- ‘Rules of Engagement’, which I dedicated a feature to a while back, continues to be a highlight of the TV week for me. It’s not very original, it’s not controversial and it’s probably never going to win any awards but it’s just very, very funny.

Comedy these days has to be borderline offensive and controversy courting, so it’s very refreshing to see a classic formula sitcom delivering big belly laughs on a weekly basis – I can’t give enough credit to the three male cast members for their contribution to this show’s continued quality, Spade and Warburton especially, are the main source of most of the show’s best moments and its good to see these two comedy veterans in great form and seemingly enjoying every minute.

- This week I managed to get out to see ‘The Hangover’, a very funny film that has actually provided the inspiration for next week’s blog.

I cannot stress enough how great this film is, given those involved I had high expectations, and usually that only leads to disappointment, but like a Subway foot long meatball marinara, ‘The Hangover’ left me more than satisfied.

Out of the leading men, Bradley Cooper was probably the biggest star going into this and hopefully he should now have cemented his status as a popular comedy actor. Messrs Helms and Galifianakis though were relative unknowns, especially outside of the States, but if there is any justice in the world that should all change now and people the world over will get to appreciate the genius of these two men, Galifianakis especially.

Check him out on youtube or on Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die site if you need further proof of this man’s brilliance.

Back to ‘The Hangover’ though, and you seriously will not be disappointed, it’s fast, furious and fucking funny. No one will go in with higher expectations than I did and if I can come out still laughing to myself then surely anyone will.

This film has some great dialogue, nice bro-mance relationships, physical comedy, awesome sight gags (don’t leave before the credits), hilarious pop culture references, Mike Tyson singing Phil Collins, Heather Graham’s right breast and star-making performances from it’s three leading men – what more could you ask for!?

- After Murray, Dave (Arj Barker) continues to be the best thing on ‘Flight of the Conchords’ during this, at times, disappointing second season. His non-sequitars, utterly untrue stories and foul language are usually the source of some of the show’s heartiest laughs and he regularly steals the odd scenes he appears in.

This week’s episode also saw ‘SNL’s very funny and very sexy Kristen Wiig in a nice guest role – I have great hopes that Wiig’s brilliantly deadpan delivery will see her eventually taste the sort of press and success that has been achieved by fellow ‘SNL’ alumni Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

Again, apologies for the rather disjointed nature of this week’s blog, normal service will be resumed next week though, so don’t miss the TV or not TV - Why Aren’t they More Famous? Special…

True Blood S02E01 - Nothing but The Blood "Comentario"






True Blood ha vuelto más True Blood posible:

La familia Stackhouse y sus amigos han vuelto a nuestros hogares. Esta nueva temporada empieza donde lo dejamos, con el asesinato del teórico Lafayette, que en realidad no lo es. Descubrimos que el muerto, en este caso muerta, es Miss Jeanette, la exorcista que "ayudó a Tara y su madre. Pero volvemos a ver que el Sheriff Bud y el detective Andy están más perdidos que Ben en The Incident.

Jason Stackhouse está decidido a entrar en la Iglesia del Sol, pero necesita un poco de dinero, que le es bendecido, por la muerte de su tio abuelo Bartlett. (Otra muerte más al elenco de True Blood, no se salva nadie).

Conocemos la historia de Sam y la intrigante Maryann, dónde nos muestran que muy normal no lo es. Tara sigue yendo a la mansión Maryann, donde podemos ver un acercamiento con Eggs. Todo es muy extraño en esa casa. Billy sigue con el adiestramiento de su pupila Jessica, que no lleva muy bien el tema sangre 0 positivo y B negativo. Este personaje ya me gustó bastante en lo poco que salió hacia el final de la 1ª temporada y en ésta puede dar mucho juego.

Acabó con la escena del calabozo, donde encontramos a Lafayette (que hace allí??) y a uno de los que quemaron la casa en la 1ª temporada, culpable de la muerte de 3 vampiros. Pero que no dura mucho en las manos de Eric el Líder. Me quedó con el momento culo magnético, que bueno!.

No dejar de comentar el nuevo fichaje para Merlotte´s de Daphne.

Lo único que no me gusta es, hasta cuando tendremos que soportar el amor de Sookie con Billy? Cuántas veces se lo han demostrado mutuamente? por lo demás, me encanta el clima truebloodero, presiento que nos deparará muchas sorpresas estos meses, y seguro que cumplirá con las expectativas.

Lost 2ª Temporada en Cuatro




Y comienza el desprecio de Lost por parte de Cuatro (es mi opinión). A partir del 13 de Julio (Lunes), comenzarán a dar 2 capítulos diarios de la 2ª Temporada. Si quitamos los Sábados y Domingos, la finiquitarán en 3 semanas. A este paso, normal que lleguen al nivel USA en Enero 2010.

La gente que la seguía los Domingos por la tarde, podrá verla cada día? No me gusta este plan. Por otro lado veremos como tratan a Matthew Fox el próximo Miércoles 17 Junio en el Hormiguero.

Dream of 'Californication'

You could trawl through each of the nine hundred some channels beamed into your home through your digi-box, spend 24 hours watching each one and you would never find a better show than the awesome ‘Californication’.

The best show on TV right now, ‘Californication’ is consistently delivering some of the freshest, most original writing on TV and it is a joy to behold.

In the six long months I’ve been doing this blog I don’t think I’ve readily quoted any show as much as I have with ‘Californication’ – and we’re only six episodes in to this sublime second season.

Sometimes with drama-dies the ‘edy’ part is seemingly lost by the wayside but ‘Californication’ is funnier than 90% of ‘comedies’ out there. I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud during last Thursday’s episode - but suffice to say it was a lot.

The dialogue is so beautifully written – think how cool Diablo Cody tried to make the dialogue in ‘Juno’, but less awkward and forced when it actually gets on to the screen, and you’ll be someway to understanding just how perfect the penmanship for this show is.

Sure the more salty language is always good for a cheap laugh but there is so much more to the words that are uttered by Duchovny et al than the shock factor of an f-bomb.

The way Hank interacts with his Satanist daughter Becca should seem fake and scripted but it doesn’t, and that’s not only testament to the amazing performances by David Duchovny and Madeleine Martin but also to the strength of the writing – take that Cody.

As a writer, you would expect Hank to have somewhat of a flair for words, but he surpasses anything you could possibly imagine: going from vulgar, crude (and hilarious) to sensitive and prophetical in a matter of seconds.

His relationship with Lew Ashby this season has been a particular highpoint for me with Ashby seemingly having become a surrogate Charlie while Charlie is off becoming a snow-blind porn baron.

The great dialogue is not just limited to Hank though; the aforementioned Charlie and his at times demented coke fiend wife Marcy generally have some fantastic exchanges which, especially this season, are herniatingly funny.

In spite of the myriad great performances on display and note-perfect writing ‘Californication’ is Duchovny’s show and he has never been better.

Anyone who still thought of him as ‘The X-Files’ moody conspiracy-theorist Fox Mulder had their view completely skewed when Hank Moody slithered onto our screens, and from that opening scene where he was fellated by a nun, you knew that this was a very different Duchovny we were seeing.

Or was this actually the real Duchovny? Because in one of the most bizarre cases of life imitating art it was announced last year that Duchovny was checking into rehab for sex addiction, but that’s his business and we wish him well – if for nothing more than the sake of the show – no one wants to see Hank Moody fucking a TV Chef and be wondering if Duchovny’s actually had his end away with Delia Smith.

Anyone who knows Duchovny's body of work outside of ‘The X-Files’ though will know that Fox Mulder is about as far removed from David Duchovny the man as you can get – witness his work on ‘The Larry Sanders Show’ in a recurring role as himself to see that this man was born to do comedy.

It’ll be a real shame if ‘Californication’s dwindling viewers cause a cancellation, because in spite of ‘The X-Files’ cult appeal this is how we should remember Duchovny – he is in the form of his life as Hank Moody and readily chews each and every piece of scenery in every scene he is in.

If you haven’t already caught this highly original and just out and out brilliant show you really need to. The sex and profane language may not exactly be groundbreaking, but in a world where you can say and do increasingly less without facing some sort of backlash, they are highly refreshing.

Thankfully Hank hasn’t fallen victim to budget-cutting TV execs over his summer hiatus and will soon be returning for a third season of debauchery and colourful language, so now is the perfect time to join the ‘Californication’ revolution and get caught up in time for season 3, I promise you, you will not be disappointed…

‘Californication’ Season 2 is currently airing Thursdays @ 10pm on Fiver.

Other Televisual Musings this Week:

- So ‘Big Brother’ is back and I’ve made myself a promise that I’ll be staying well clear this year and that already seems like one of the best decisions I may ever make.

A week in and if I didn’t sporadically check The Sun website for news stories to make fun of I wouldn’t even know it was back on our screens. The days when it was front page news now seem long gone, interest this year really does seem to be dwindling and I wonder how long it’s going to take the producers to realise that upping the fame-hungry, desperate and out and out freak quota does nothing but turn people off.

I still firmly believe that the show succeeded initially because we were intrigued to see real people interacting in such an extraordinary environment, but slowly ‘Big Brother’ has become more and more of a caricature of itself - typified by this years batch of liggers.

I say we just pump noxious gas into the ‘Big Brother’ house’s air conditioning system then we can have an outcome we can all be happy with.

- ‘The Apprentice’ drew to a close on Sunday night and in a result that some would call shocking, Yasmina was declared the victor.

If we’re honest, either one of them could have won; they were the best of a bad bunch after all. I had to laugh when Alan Sugar said that they were the best two he’s had in the final yet – I don’t even think he believed what he was saying at that point!

All the contestants have been competing all year to hear just two little words from Sugar: “You’re hired!” and it was just two little words that ensured I didn’t watch the Adrian Chiles fronted spin-off of the same name straight after the main show: “Ruby” and “Wax” – seriously how does that woman still find gainful employment? The Apprentice is a massively popular show, was she really the best they could do?

- ‘House’ has finally made the move that all successful US shows eventually make on these shores: the defection to Sky1.

We’ve seen it before with the likes of ‘24’, ‘Lost’ and ‘Prison Break’ – if the BBC hadn’t had the foresight to ink ‘Heroes’ to a long term deal then you can bet your sweet little ass that we’d already be watching Sylar switch allegiances for the millionth time in High Definition by now.

But back to ‘House’, I’d never really watched it properly until now so I can’t comment on his new diagnostic team compared to the old one or how the show has developed over its five incredibly successful seasons, like the seasoned and well-versed TV scholar that I clearly am I can only pass judgement on four episodes of one of the most popular shows of the last five years – I’m such a pro…

My ignorance aside, all I can say is that I like what I’ve seen, like one of House’s patients I’ve been exposed to something contagious and somewhat intangible and I can’t get enough.

Hugh Laurie deserves every single plaudit he has received for his performance as Dr. Gregory House as he is truly outstanding – it’s hard to believe this is the same guy who appeared in Ben Elton’s ‘Maybe Baby’.

The first four episodes have been made all the more enjoyable by Michael Weston’s presence as the sleazy yet sensitive Private Investigator Lucas Douglas who has been the perfect foil for House.

Sadly his involvement in the show has now ended, although if the rumoured spin-off involving the Lucas character is true then I will definitely be tuning in.

For now though, I’m going to continue making up for lost time by revelling in the acerbic greatness of ‘House MD’.

- ‘Dollhouse’ continues to be a pleasant surprise – as a massive Joss Whedon fan and a pretty big Eliza Dushku fan my hopes for this show were sky high but I never thought for one minute that I would end up being anything but disappointed by their new collaboration.

But lo and behold, ‘Dollhouse’ continues to be thoroughly entertaining; it’s funny, thrilling and at times emotionally resonating. It is never going to fill the void that ‘Firefly’ and ‘Tru Calling’ left in my life but it’s a damn site better than having nothing at all from Whedon and Dushku.

Although I am starting to get concerned that the show is nothing but an excuse for Dushku to constantly take off her clothes and/or dress up in fetish gear – not that I’m complaining!

- So, okay I’m a little late on this one but: NBC have fucking cancelled ‘My Name is Earl’! Are you shitting me!?

‘Earl’ is one of the most consistently laugh out loud funny shows on TV and I just can’t imagine what they were thinking over there at the old rainbow peacock.

There are rumblings of a resurrection on another network and countless petitions lining cyberspace but I for one doubt we will be seeing Earl, Randy and co. on our screens again so my advice is to enjoy what’s left of the current run over here while you can because it looks to me as though Earl may have crossed off his last list item.

Hemos intercambiado nuestros votos y estoy listo para ir a la fiesta".

What I Learned from Watching TV this Week: 30th May - 5th June 2009

It’s been hot this week and I don’t think well in the heat, so instead of a feature, here are some more useful nuggets I picked up from watching TV this week:

The British public are actually capable of having an original thought. Yes, in spite of all my recent ranting about how ‘Britain’s Got Talent’s outcome had been decided long ago, an actual surprise occurred on a Simon Cowell show Saturday night as Diversity defeated Susan Boyle.

It was a victory for people who don’t buy into the media frenzy that swirls around certain events and people and for anyone who isn’t prepared to just be another sheep.

Some strategic running order rigging may have contributed to the top 3 on this year’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ (Diversity went on 9th of the ten, Boyle was 8th and 3rd place Julian Smith was on last) but never-the-less the brilliant Diversity thoroughly deserved their victory and made me a very happy man by defeating Boyle.

Although Boyle will no doubt continue to be rammed down our throats for the foreseeable future the fact that she didn’t win ‘BGT’, in spite of all the hype and the press, reaffirms my faith in humanity ever so slightly.

After writing this it came out that Susan Boyle was in The Priory after some sort of mental episode, which guarantees that she isn’t going away any time soon - who’s to blame? Who gives a fuck, if anyone’s to blame it’s her, these contestants should know by now what they’re letting themselves in for, now okay, Boyle’s situation is rather abnormal compared to the average ‘BGT’ contestant but no one forced her out on that stage to audition with a gun aimed at her head, now Hollie Steel on the other hand…

The ‘T’ in MTV stands for ‘Twilight’. One of the more enjoyable, and by enjoyable I mean not eye-bleedingly dull, awards shows of the year took place this past weekend: ‘The MTV Movie Awards’, or should that be the ‘MTV Twilight Awards’.

The inexplicably popular tween vampire saga scooped what seemed like every award at the bash which more and more each year is becoming nothing more than a two hour hard sell for whoever has films on the way.

Yet in spite of ‘Twilight’s dominance and the constant sight of Robert Pattinson (that guy’s sexy? There’s hope for me yet…) this years Movie Awards were as enjoyable as ever, mainly thanks to one man – Mr. Andy Samberg.

The ‘SNL’ genius didn’t compromise any of the geeky charm that makes him the star he has become for the MTV crowd which was good to see, and his skits and interludes were some of the funniest we’ve seen in years – especially The Lonely Island tribute which saw Forest Whitaker singing ‘Dick in a Box’.

Kiefer Sutherland also got to show that he has a funny side to which was nice, because anyone who has seen any sort of documentary footage on Jack Bauer’s alter ego will know that he has a killer sense of humour. His involvement in Ben Stiller’s achievement award practically stole the spotlight off of Stiller himself, but I can’t help but feel Stiller had a hand in that anyway.

But of course, the main talking point of the show was the Eminem-Bruno ‘controversy’. Let me just say this to anyone who thinks that wasn’t 100% staged: are you stupid? Out of everyone he could have landed on in the entire audience it was Eminem?

If that hadn’t been planned, Em’s entourage would have been in too much shock to have beaten Sascha Baron Cohen that quickly. The whole thing was staged and if it comes out otherwise I’ll post a picture on this blog of me wearing a replica of Bruno’s assless outfit… You have been warned!

Why does the news have to change so fast!? Since writing this it has come out that Eminem was indeed in on the gag (duh!) so you will all be saved the sight of my ‘kugelsack’… for now…

My final thought of the MTV Movie Awards came courtesy of Megan Fox as I was left wondering: is she really all that?

Don’t get me wrong, she’s a sexy lady no doubt and the odd time I’ve seen her without make-up she looks good, but I just don’t get the hype. With her make-up seemingly applied via Homer Simpson’s make-up shotgun invention though, a look she was sporting at the Movie Awards, she looks like a cheap whore and not in a good way…

…Give me Katy Perry any day.

There really wasn’t any need for ‘Prison Break: The Final Break’… at all.
I wondered out loud a couple of weeks back just what the point of the ‘bonus’ episodes of ‘Prison Break’ was (yes I know this went out last week, but I only got round to watching it this week) and I was proved to be completely justified in my musing because there seemed to be no discernable point to these episodes at all.

They didn’t advance the show’s mythology at all and after seeing four years into the future at the end of the regular series it seemed stupid to then jump back in time to just after they were exonerated. It almost felt like they had some money left and some spare time at the end of shooting and just thought fuck it let’s film something else.

It wasn’t all bad though, so first the good: we actually got an explanation of what happened to Gretchen which was one loose end that really needing tying up and Lori Petty amped her lesbian aura up to eleven to guest star as ‘Daddy’ and despite being incredibly creepy acted Jodi Lyn O’Keefe and Sarah Wayne Callies off the screen, in much the same way William Fichtner has been doing with messrs Miller and Purcell for the last three years.

But other than that, sadly it was all bad, so much so they even stole Karl Fletcher’s coat peg to the back of the head death from Dream Team! The focus was too heavily on Tancredi with very little Michael, Sucre and Linc and so much time was wasted on a suspense-less Mahone subplot hinging on whether he’d betray the gang for his old job back when we’d already seen him all buddy-buddy with Linc and Sucre in the future.

In a way these two episodes almost undid the good faith the show had going for it from it’s surprisingly entertaining finale, they even managed to make the death of the show’s main character seem rushed and devoid of any real emotion, hell Bellick’s death packed more emotional punch than Michael’s did!

These two episodes were a complete waste of time, if I hadn’t bothered to watch them I wouldn’t have missed anything and that’s a really sad indication of just how far ‘Prison Break’ fell because at the height of its success ‘Prison Break’ was unmissable.

The phrase “MILF chubby” isn’t always funny… Shocking I know, but on ‘Sons of Anarchy’ this week Half-sack, played by the brilliant Johnny Lewis, learned this lesson the hard way.

After Clay caught the Iraq war veteran (his name originating from the fact that he lost a ball in the war) commenting that the Sons’ leader’s ‘old lady’ Gemma gave him “MILF chubby” he was less than impressed.

He soon got his own back on the Sons of Anarchy ‘prospect’ by sleeping with biker whore Cherry who Half-Sack had taken a liking to – the main lesson here, like you needed to be told not to fuck with Hellboy, is don’t mess with Ron Pearlman.

‘Sons of Anarchy’ continues to be a very welcome addition to our TV schedules and strikes the perfect balance between poignancy, brutality and laugh out loud comedy. The main sources of comedy come from Lewis as Half-Sack and the inappropriately positioned Sons of Anarchy ‘Intelligence Officer’ Juice who has many of his ‘brothers’ convinced he is retarded; drugging a Rottweiler with meth this week might not have gone far to quashing those thoughts…

‘The Apprentice’ has a fundamental flaw… In that the likeable people don’t win. I know it’s a different kind of reality show but the very nature of the process means that the characters you can actually root for are booted out in favour of the robotic, soulless business whores and it makes the final weeks pretty unappealing viewing.

Tony Mowbray’s slightly younger, slightly less ugly brother James finally got his marching orders this week and with him the last shred of entertainment value the show had took a black cab ride away from the boardroom.

This is the first year I’ve watched ‘The Apprentice’ properly and I have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it but it’s a good job they’re bringing the former contestants back otherwise the final would have been a very dull affair.

I called the Kate-Yasmina final weeks ago, and to be honest I could care less who wins, I guess we should all just be glad that post-op transsexual Debra or key party Lorraine didn’t make the final.

You can’t have it both ways… ‘Flight of the Conchords’ Season 2 was supposed to have no limits, but has actually thus far been a little disappointing.

In the show’s brilliant first season, they basically wrote the show around the band’s existing songs but for season 2 they had a blank canvas of new songs and new ideas not to mention a clearly bigger budget.

Sadly though, as the writing has improved for the second season, the song quality has diminished considerably.

Don’t misunderstand me, the show is still brilliantly funny and the decision to give us more Murray has been a welcome one, but now rather than the songs being the highpoint of each episode as they were last season they now feel more like an annoying interruption.

‘Californication’ is the best written show on TV right now… Hank Moody’s return to our screens continues to be a glorious one as ‘Californication’ consistently delivers the sharpest, funniest and touching writing on TV week after week.

In any normal episode Hank’s “I’m declaring jihad on your pussy” line would have easily been the best line of the night but that flash of brilliance was trumped this week by Charlie, who has quickly become my favourite character during this awesome second season.

When struggling porn star Daisy declared she’d been “blackballed” in the porn world, Charlie’s response was: “what is that, some kind of interracial teabag thing?” - Just brilliant.

TV Moment of the Week:

This week comes courtesy of ‘Apprentice’ dimwit James; when given one final opportunity to sell himself to Birmingham City Chair-tart Karen Brady during his interview he compared Sir Alan Sugar to Willy Wonka…

…What a burke. If Sir Alan’s like anyone from Roald Dahl’s famous story it’s the Umpa Lumpas, only Sugar’s not as tall…

And finally…

For those of you who follow my Horse Racing non-tips: this Saturday sees one of the highlights of the flat season taking place: The Investec Derby.

If I were you I’d be putting my money on one of Aidan O’Brien’s all-conquering stable, the Ballydoyle trainer saddles six horses in total, including two of the race’s big fancies: Fame and Glory and the horse I backed in the 2000 Guineas Rip Van Winkle.

The undefeated Fame and Glory has been at the head of the market for quite some time now and stable star jockey Johnny Murtagh had widely been expected to take the ride on Fame and Glory but in somewhat of a surprise move has elected to ride Rip Van Winkle.

In spite of coming fourth in The Guineas Rip Van Winkle ran a great race and showed plenty of potential, which if he can just realise O’Brien could have another superstar on his hands, so I’m going to bank on Murtagh’s decision holding some weight and tip Rip Van Winkle (those of you who read my Cheltenham blog will know what a hollow endorsement that is though!)

Heroes casting




Robert Knepper alias T-Bag en Prison Break aparecerá en el nuevo Volumen 5 de Heroes: Redemption. Como nuevo villano, al menos para unos 6 capítulos, con el nombre de Samuel (Carnival Barker).

Muy buen fichaje para la serie, aunque esto no quiere decir que la serie remonte su nivel, sino veáse a Zeljko Ivanek en el Volumen 4.
