America’s Best Dance Crew is Back!

Published by Russell on January 16, 2009 in TV. 1 Comment Tags: .

I wasn’t aware of it until it popped up on my DVR schedule, but America’s Best Dance Crew is back for season 3.  Actually it’s probably the only show I’ve ever watched on MTV that’s any good, so I’m happy that the channel isn’t a total waste.  One of the good things I immediately noticed about this season is that they got rid of the whole region concept and just made it crew vs. crew (vs. crew vs. crew… ).  They also showed almost none of the audition process which cut out most of the fluff and awful crews and went straight to the nine finalists.  I’m just wondering where Randy Jackson is though since it is called “Randy Jackson’s America’s Best Dance Crew”.  At least he showed up for the premiere episode the first two seasons.

My early picks for this season:

And a video of Quest’s performance, easily the best of the night.

George W. Bush – Matrix Style

So I forgot to add anything to my blog for a month because I’ve been busy, but as I was watching TV last night, the local 11 o’clock news had an interesting lead story.  Apparently an Iraqi journalist hurled a pair of shoes at President Bush, which I thought was interesting.  The funny part was that they showed it 3-4 times in a one minute span and Bush even joked about it afterward.

What really amazed me was not only that the journalist was able to get two throws in, but Bush dodged them with uncanny dexterity. You know that McCain wouldn’t be able to do that.

Prison Break, Where Minor Characters Go To Die

Since I forgot to do a post on the previous episode, I’ll just combine it with this one.  By now you probably know that people in Prison Break Land eventually die when they run out of usefulness.  However when they’re key parts of the humor of the show, you hate to lose them.  That’s exactly what happened the last two episodes.  We’re quickly losing humorous characters on the show, so I hope they pick up more people soon.  Anyway here’s a brief clip from last night’s episode.

Presidential Debate: SNL Edition

So I’ve been following the Presidential Debates very loosely recently and what caught my eye was the special edition SNL episodes immediately following The Office.  They basically take the funny bits from the more recent debate and make them funnier.  Some of you might have seen my post about the debate, so here’s SNL’s take on the same thing right here.

And again!

Presidential Debate

After a lengthy session of Halo 3 Tuesday night, I decided to tune into the last few minutes of the second presidential debate.  For some reason it feels like they just avoid all the direct questions and just keep going around and around the issue until it sounds like they made a good point.  I’m not a real big fan of politics myself, so the best thing I could pick up on was that Obama looked more comfortable without a podium than McCain.  Also McCain is really really old, but that’s not really the issue here…or is it?  If McCain dies of old age, we’ll be stuck with Palin.  At least she has to be better than Dick Cheney.  Where is that guy anyway?  Maybe he’s trying out for the U.S. Olympic Shooting Team.  And did anyone see that nobody in the “town hall” meeting was Asian?  At least they could proportion the people somewhat close to the 5% of the population that Asians represent in the United States.  In any case, here’s a little clip of Tom Brokaw that I thought was pretty funny.
