Life on Discovery

Remember Planet Earth?

Well tonight premiers LIFE on the Discovery Channel.

In case you didn't know, Discovery is probably my favorite channel. I'm looking forward to tonight's show.

It's on at 8 PM. Check out the preview.

Epic Video: Community

Every Thursday is Community on NBC.

While NBC might have royally screwed up the Olympics, this show hits a home run. Last nights episode was HILARIOUS.

Summit on the Summit

A few months ago I heard about how a number of celebrities would be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, to raise money for the global clean water crisis. Their expedition, called Summit on the Summit, was successful as the group reached the summit in January.

The list of celebrities was very diverse with different levels of outdoor knowledge. The celebrities included:

• Jessica Biel, actress
• Emile Hirsch, actor
• Lupe Fiasco, musician
• Alexandria Cousteau, adventurer (oh, and the granddaughter of Jacques Cousteau)

And a number of other celebrities.

Well, their trek to the summit of the mountain was filmed for a 90 minute documentary that will be airing on MTV on March 14 at 9 P.M.

Here's the trailer for the show. Looks pretty good to me. I don't have extended cable, so I'll have to see if they post it online.

Bear Grylls to host new Discovery show

It may seem like I've been talking about Bear Grylls on the site a lot lately, but the truth is that that guy is just entertaining to watch.

Some of the stuff that he does is just incredible. Plus, he's just such a fun host to watch.

Well Bear finally updated his blog and while Man vs. Wild is experiencing their highest rated season ever, it looks like Bear will be taking on another project as well.

According to his blog:

I am now in LA filming this new Worst case Scenario show for Discovery. I was pretty nervous starting this (not sure why I was so nervous - maybe because it is just new for me) - but it has been amazing so far and I am in my element.

We have been doing scenarios involving dog attacks, failing elevators, car brakes, muggers, burning wrecks, car crashes, blackouts, you name it, and I feel like a kid in a candy store!

These will prove to be great shows I hope, and like Man Vs Wild they depend on a great team.

He also goes on to say that if you happen to see him in LA stop and say hello. I'd love to just be walking down the street and bump into Bear. I'd ask him to make a fire. Oh, and give him a high-five.

And if you think that the things Bear does are impressive, wait until next week's episode of Man vs. Wild where we get to see the behind-the-scenes of the show. This means the cameramen that do the same things Bear does (only with a camera in hand).

Reasons why you're still single... you watch the Golden Girls

Apparently since it's the only programming that Lifetime has (that and movies about women and their abusive husbands/women and their creepy husband that abducts their kids/women that get abducted by aliens), this show is extremely easy to find on cable.

And due to this, you watch it all the time. By yourself. Without a significant other. And you wonder if Blanche will ever find the man of her dreams.

(That Dorthy is a real skank...)

Intervention everyday

My brother-in-law was watching Intervention today. In case you've never watched this show, it is about people who are sat down for interventions for various things. Mainly drugs.

That got me thinking, what would be some interventions that have been overlooked.

1. Bert, it is getting out of hand that you wear those silly Micky Mouse ears everywhere. Intervention.

2. Bert, put away the World of Warcraft. We haven't seen you in 3 months. Intervention.

3. Bert, you haven't washed your feet in a month. You stink. Intervention.

4. Bert, when you eat burritos, you fart a lot. Those stink worse than your feet. Intervention.

5. Bert, you've taken the ceramic cat collection a bit far. You can't even get out of your house. Intervention.

6. Bert, you can't tap dance. Stop wearing the shoes around and trying on everything. Intervention.

7. Bert, Just South of North is a real Web site! Now I need an intervention on yelling!

8. Bert, you update your Twitter even in your sleep. Intervention.

9. Bert, along those same lines your facebook page is burned into the monitor. Intervention.

10. Bert, you do not look good in the tangerine speedo. Intervention.

The Simpsons Meet HD

After 20 years, The Simpsons had a new opening last night. Sure each week the part with the couch changes, but this week the entire opening was new.

The reasoning, it was the first Simpsons in HD.

In case you missed it, here you go:



Now this episode was great for a number of reasons. First off it was in High Def. That means that the picture was super crisp and the animation looked clean. It looked like The Simpsons movie if you saw that.

Also, the episode was great because it was funny. I like laughing. Why do you think I'm friends with Brandon.

And pay close attention to the new opening because all of the characters from the show are in it somehow.

New shows for CBS you haven't heard about

Alright, so that's a photo of NCIS, but here's a smattering of shows that CBS should be premiering to make their geriatric, slightly jaded viewing audience happy. And keep in mind that these shows won't air during Bingo time.

CSI: Spokane - While most CSI shows take place in state-of-the-art labs, Spokane's version of the show will take place in the STA Bus Plaza and at Zips. Ahhh, Zips.

Washed up celebrity #8 gets his own sitcom - Which Seinfield cast member is going to give it another go? Anyone? And by the way, has anyone seen Two and Half Men, good stuff.

Stories from the Financial Crises - A heartbreaking drama about how Wall Street Brokers are having to fill their jets with regular fuel, and making the tough decision about whether or not to buy out companies with their bail-out money or spend it on a sexy party.

The Quadminifier - In the same line as "The Closer" and "The Goat Farmer" ... this show sucks.

That one cop show where there look up old 1970s crime cases - Giving viewers plenty of recreations on the time period on a shoe-string budget. Don't question the show when you see a Ford Focus in 1973.

With a line up like this, what could go wrong? Really? At least it isn't FOX.
