What I’ve Been Watching

Well I may be a guy who loves his sports, action movies, and anything that involves explosions, I sometimes just channel surf and see what’s on. One night I ran into Girl Code on MTV and after one show I’ve become hooked.

Girl Code is just the female version of Guy Code. Though if you have never heard of either here’s a simple explanation: A group of women (comics, pop culture experts, celebs, etc.) express their point of view or “Girl Code” on various subjects that range from Shopping, First Dates, Sleepovers, Being Classy, and much more.

Carly Aquilino is one if the members

Of course you won’t be watching this show for it’s ability to spew vital knowledge onto your brain, you should be watching this show just for the laughs. The show is just funny to hear the blunt, honest, and funny responses to each category.

Girl Code has new episodes every Tuesday at 9:30 and 10:30; there are also reruns constantly.

The Return of Great Comedy

2 Comments on The Return of Great Comedy

Great comedy is very hard to come by these days, especially on TV. I’m not talking about some daytime show where you’ll have your eventual laughs or movies such as “The Hangover”. No, I’m talking about unscripted comedy where it’s going to be different every time you either go to see it or change the channel. Comedy that will make your sides hurt from laughing so much and make you wanting more once the show is over. Thankfully I’ve got great news to people like me who just want to laugh and laugh at great performers.

“Whose Line Is It Anyway” is returning to television this summer!

“Whose Line Is It Anyway” was originally a British improv show that soon got an American version on ABC and ABC Family channels from 1998-2007. The show consisted of three primary performers, Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, and Colin Mochrie, who were joined by a fourth special guest every show. They were given scenes that they would have to act out on the spot.

My favorite of these scenes would have to be entitled Weird Newscasters. Each performer was given a special personality and would have to act out their personality while also trying to report the news section they were given.

One of the greatest comedic duos to ever perform, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie

The return of easily one of the best comedy shows to ever grace television is amazing news to me. It’s time for people to see what real comedy is. It doesn’t need to involve someone getting hurt doing some stupid stunt or a long movie about a bunch of friends getting so hammered they can’t remember what happened on their Vegas night (or their time in Thailand if you watched part 2). I will tell you now that if you have never seen it before, go watch it. You will not regret it one bit. And if you have seen it then you’ll be like me and jumping out of your seat over the news of its return.

“Whose Line Is It Anyway” will premiere on The CW starting July 16,2013.

Get Ready For The Dave Chappelle Comeback?

No Comments on Get Ready For The Dave Chappelle Comeback?

Speculation of a comeback by Dave Chappelle has begun anew, following a rare three-night appearance by the reclusive comedian at a New York comedy club recently.

Chappelle’s name is trending on social media today after he was joined on stage by Chris Rock at New York’s Comedy Cellar and the two joked about going on tour together.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Rock told Chappelle, “You should come down to Palm Beach,” to which Chappelle replied, “After next Tuesday, I’m free for like 11 years.”

The two even sent a text to Jay-Z and left a voice message for Arsenio Hall from the stage. “This could be the show, — fireside chats with Chris Rock,” Chappelle reportedly said.

“I’m in,” Rock replied, according to the Times.

Asked about the possibility of a Rock-Chappelle tour, Chappelle’s rep told Entertainment Weekly: “I can’t even say.”

Chappelle walked away from Hollywood in 2005, in the middle of his extremely popular “Chappelle’s Show” on Comedy Central.

He spent some time in Africa before hunkering down in rural Yellow Springs, Ohio, with his wife and family.
