http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9froOhQ6Vb8 One of my celebrity crushes, Peter Serafinowicz, was recognised as a talented, sexy man, and given his own BBC show. And it’s hilarious. Brief sample enclosed. (Think, “cleanliness is next to lawlessness”…)

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/jon_stewart_stephen_colbert_americas_anchors/page/1 “Real” journalist Maureen Dowd tries and fails to keep up with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert – the most trusted men in fake news. It shouldn’t be surprising that two observational comedians are able to pick out a lot of the Bush administration’s psychological quirks, but I’m consistently impressed with how many of their […]

Frisky Dingo (TV Series 2006&&) – IMDb

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0865409/ Frisky Dingo is a silly, 10-minute-per-episode animated show that – despite (or perhaps because of) its crudity and nonsense – I enjoyed far too much.

History Today Part 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UMedd03JCA I spent a lot of time, in University, hanging around outside the professors’ lounges, waiting for my History profs. While I never heard any discussions quite like this, I can imagine that a few of the older, doddering profs were probably only a few publications away from it. Classic comedy from the Mary Whitehouse […]

BBC – BBC Two Programmes – The Thick of It

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/thickofit/ Armando Iannucci? Chris Langham? Peter Capaldi? Why was I not informed about this sooner? The “great-tv” tag is given by reputation alone; I’ll confirm it once my download is done. Ta, RandomMuz for the Stumble! **BUMPITY-BUMP** As I expected, it was brilliant; I watched the entire series in one sitting! Yes, Minister reinvented for […]

The Simpsons Archive: The Simpsons Song Lyrics

http://www.snpp.com/guides/lyrics_list.html Someone with plenty of time on their hands has compiled an archive of Simpsons songs and snippets of songs. As every Simpsons fan knows, there are some classics in the oeuvre: I would gladly pay to see a performance of Oh, Streetcar!. The Monorail Song is a thing of genius, and the Hobo Song […]

http://medlem.spray.se/swedishchef/video.php?id=12 Someone has posted an archive of Swedish Chef clips. (Sadly, they aren’t all here – where’s my favourite, the turkey clip? “Oh, de gobbley gobbley!”) It’s amazing to look back at the surrealistic, chaotic, dark weirdness that was the The Muppet Show; a show about a bunch of failures and losers, in which the […]

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (TV Series 2006&2007) – IMDb

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485842/ We’re only two episodes in, so there’s lots of opportunity for it to head South, but for the moment, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is blowing my mind. It’s written by the always-reliable Aaron Sorkin, whose previous shows The West Wing (which did go South) and Sports Night (which didn’t) are among my […]

Pilot Guides.com: TV Shows

http://www.pilotguides.com/tv_shows/index.php Three years ago, when I made the decision to shut off my TV, Lonely Planet was one of the shows whose absence I thought would most push me back to the couch. As it stands, my TV remained off, and I haven’t seen an episode since, but I still miss it. As a title, […]

http://www.thesimpsonsquotes.com/top-rated-quotes.html Homer: Marge? Since I’m not talking to Lisa, would you please ask her to pass me the syrup? Marge: Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa. Lisa: Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won’t be used on any meat product. Bart: You dunkin’ your sausages in that syrup […]
