4 Sitcoms for Those Who Love to F–K

Or who at least like using/hearing/seeing/writing that zany, crazy l’il F-word.

Or, as we think this should be captioned: “Fuck Yeah, Baby!” Just sayin’.

Yep, these tasty new series are in TV development right now, just waiting for the nod:

  1. HOW THE FUCK AM I NORMAL – ABC
  2. DUMB FUCK – ABC
  3. FUCK I’M IN MY TWENTIES – NBC
  4. GROW THE FUCK UP – NBC

There are some who will say this is the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it. Others who will say this will push certain uncivil word usage over the edge. And still others who simply will find this development unbelievable. read article

In Case You Need Proof DOCTOR WHO’s Amy & Rory Were Stranded Back in Time

Absolutely the coolest coincidence of all, you know, time:

Does This Raphael Soyer Painting Depict Amy and Rory After the Latest Doctor Who Episode? – by Stubby the Rocket (Tor.Com)

Take a look at the painting to the right—just take a good long look. That there is a painting called “Consolation” by Raphael Soyer, done in 1959. Does the couple look familiar? We think they bear a striking resemblance to Amy and Rory Williams (formerly known as The Ponds). And if you look into the story behind the painting, and Soyer himself, then things begin to get really weird.

Because it looks like Amy and Rory really did [highlight for spoilers] get stuck in New York City [end spoilers] following the events of “The Angels Take Manhattan.” read article

Kathy Sees WALKING DEAD and HOMELAND

And explains why she’s not gonna watch either of them again.

For your viewing pleasure.

My #2 and #3 shows, Supernatural and Criminal Minds, are getting long in the tooth (and short on fresh ideas), thus I’m compelled to find a couple more shows to latch onto while these take a nosedive wind down their last seasons. My #1 show, Sherlock, isn’t coming back until next year. I’ve got to find my TV crack somewhere. So I decided to try two of the hottest shows around, Walking Dead and Homeland. Guess what? I’m still looking.

First, WD. Not much to say here, considering I couldn’t get through the first episode. I did learn that I don’t like zombies, and this show is too gooey for me. I’ve already been called on the irony that I’ll watch Criminal Minds (creepy in it’s own right) like it’s my job, but not WD. I can’t explain it, other than if the BAU starts dealing with the zombie apocalypse, I’ll bow out. My daughter, who watches WD like it’s her job, recommended I read the books. I think I’ll heed her advice. read article
