Comedy, Gentlemen and Gleekage

I'm struggling to find appointment tv at the moment and by that I'm talking about unplug the telephone, turn off the laptop must completely absorb every ounce of what's going on via the screen type show.  Apart from the the things which are coming soon and already alluded to there isn't a whole lot that has me absorbed at that level.

It’s a weird feeling floating out there without something current that I can just squee about for the sheer indulgent brilliance of it.  I'm in a TV watching doldrum. Having said that I'm watching a lot of worthy tv shows like Boardwalk Empire, Blue Bloods and have them series linked to try and keep up with them but they aren't giving me the warm fuzzies like I want them to….

Glee last years big thing which I loved with all my heart but the autotune really really puts my teeth on edge. Also none of the characters are likeable they are all self serving and vile to some extent. The characters seem to be reset to factory settings every few episodes and there isn't a compelling story arc. But mainly its about my hate of the autotune.  

That said I've enjoyed the last few episodes, I'm just not sure it does enough for me.

The only thing that regularly makes me squee whole heartedly is the big bang theory although the last episode, the one with Josh Malina, unusually for the show really did put a foot wrong and it made me uncomfortable as a viewer. I found the concept of the episode absolutely abhorrent and I felt more than a little sick at the end of it. Having said that one bad episode out of the seventy odd I've seen won't put me off.

But there is something new, something that makes me squee and that is http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1583638/>Mr Sunshine.  It was co-created by and stars Matthew Perry and oh-em-gee it is utterly wonderful.  It co-stars Allison Janney and Nate Torrence and it is just a really really funny show. I confess I'vee been half in love with Matthew Perry since Friends and I thought he was brilliant in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip as Matt Albie.  

As well the very new, my blokey and I have been making full use of a membership to love film and going back in time and watchinig old series of OUtnumbered, The Thick of It, The Mighty Boosh and The League of Gentlemen. I love the League of Gentlemen from the bottom of by blackened heart. Oh Papa Lazerou, you really are ace.
