The one perk of summer coming to an end is the emergence of brand new television programming in the form of both season and series premieres. Frankly, I love TV, and most shows seem to entertain me regardless if they are Emmy worthy or what some may refer to as garbage. However, I do have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by a few brand spanking new shows in this year's fall line up and view them as possible Emmy contenders in the future. Watch out 30 Rock! Sorry; I love you, Tina Fey! But these two shows are out for blood (ie: a shiny gold statue) and/or just excellent ratings.
1. ABC's MODERN FAMILY: This show is absolutely freaken hilarious. It scares me a little because I am a dedicated fan of The Office, rank it as my current favorite on-air sitcom, and would feel bad if it were to be replaced. We shall see. But as I was saying: "this show is absolutely freaken hilarious," and I already love it! Two thumbs up! Actually, it's so good I'm gonna say: two cocktails up! Double fisting it for a great new comedy. Let's face it. Who wouldn't wanna watch: A) an incredibly aged Ed O'neill married to a sexy "Columbian" woman and acting like a father to his new wife's chubby yet intelligent eleven year old son... B) two gay daddies raising their Vietnamese baby girl... C) and three crazy kids and their equally crazy parents??!!!?? Nobody. I know. Basically, Modern Family is full of hysterical family drama, super witty laugh-out-loud dialogue, superb acting, surprisingly relatable topics, riotous scenarios, and a little bit of heart topped off with a lotta bit of fresh humor. So I suggest watching it. Now!
2. NBC's COMMUNITY: Another very funny show. If you are a fan of Joel McHale, like myself, that's already one reason why you might enjoy this show. This sitcom is a far cry from The Soup but equally hilarious with a little less reality and a lot more story. Community college has never seemed so bizarre, and the cooky characters who make up the students, faculty, and staff of this fine institution definitely make for one humorous program. If you ever went to college and want to reminisce about your past shenanigans or never went to college and want a taste of what you may have missed out on, Community is definitely a must see. Granted some scenarios depicted on the show are not that common but still definitely possible on the occasional coed campus. Regardless, it's excellent and worth thirty minutes of your time.
***Oh and this new animated show called POPZILLA on MTV is also pretty damn hilarious. From the amount of celebrities they manage to mock within twenty or so minutes to the freaky faces and horrible voice-overs, this show is perfect for a good quick laugh! It also manages to catch you up on celebrity news. Take that Perez Hilton! Sorry. If you couldn't tell, I'm not a fan. Yay for E News and the Daily Ten though and now Popzilla! Super silly but very funny!
And now that I have expressed my thoughts on stuff that "rots my brain"... I am off to watch more TV. Go figure :)
