I want to talk about my dads Television Snobbery and his taste which I find hilarious. My Dad is really hard to impress when it comes to sitcoms. I want to start with how much my dad hates friends and tries to compare it to Seinfeld. A friend is a fun show it may not be brilliant or comedic genius. It’s comforting and has its moments where it’s funny. It’s not a hard show to like. It’s a show you do not need to take serious. You just sit back relax and have fun watching friends. It does not need your full attention because it’s broad. Friends may have borrowed storylines from other shows. But it’s not the same type of show as Seinfeld sure it’s a group of 30 something friends in New York with flaws. However a friend is more about the fun and the laughs. Seinfeld was more about its creativity and edge. A friend is more comforting and easy to watch. Seinfeld and friends are completely different shows. Seinfeld also avoided the heartfelt moments. Friends did not. Seinfeld is also about horrible people.
My dad’s new found snobbery is toward NBC's current Thursday night line up. In Which I have pointed out many times that NBC Thursdays are the best shows on TV right now. Well except for community. Which I think is the poor mans arrested development but we will get to that later. (Side note thank god outsourced got cancelled.)
My Dads haltered for NBC Thursday night line up started with the US office. He liked it at first when he watches episodes from the first season. I would sit there in the room while he was laughing loudly during the show. But than after not watching the second season and episodes mixed together. He started to hate the show mostly because he did not find Michael Scott believable. My dad thinks that nobody that stupid could keep a job for that long. Michael Scott is not stupid or a bad boss. He just a guy who desperately wants to be liked where he tries way too hard to the point where he makes people feel uncomfortable. He also thinks he is a comedic genius and he is not and he tries way too hard to prove that he is funny. My Dad also hates that Michael has a good heart. He thinks it’s more believable if he were just a jerk like David Brent.
My dad watched the UK office after the US office like me. I agree the UK version is better. But I still love the US version as well. I think both Versions of the office are believable. I think people can have a boss like David Brent for years and be miserable working for him. If I had to work with Either Michael Scott or David Brent...I would pick Michael Scott. I can tolerate him more. David Brent I would come home miserable and want to down a bottle of wine of whatever I have in the house to drink. Although I do think my dad secretly likes the US office because I always catch him laughing really loud during the show.
Another show my Dad is a snob about is 30 rock. His reason for not wanting to watch is because of that phone call that where Alec Baldwin yelled at his daughter. My dad will also not watch 30 rocks because Alec Baldwin got a divorce Kim Basigner. My Dads Direct Quote “Anyone to leave somebody that beautiful is an idiot. Also my dad hated SNL since bill Murray left. It’s also the same thing as the office. I watched weekend update one time with Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey on it. He was laughing at Tina Fey’s jokes, but he will act un-impressed. But I know my dad too well to know that he is not impressed with anyone to come from SNl up from the late 80’s to 2000’s. Do not get me wrong SNl goes through its up and down stages but there is always someone good on that show.
My dad strangely enough loves flight of the conchords. I like them too but the style of show they did was done before in UK. It was a show called the mighty boosh which is also a band. It was flight of the conchords influence for he show. Now the mighty boosh is on adult swim. I like flight of the conchords but they only had one good season. The second season even though it did have some good moment’s it was not as good as the first. I have not watched the mighty boosh so I can not judge there show. But the same style and idea of the show was what flight of the conchords used as there idea of what they wanted their show to be like. Music wise I do not think they steal from the mighty boosh there music is all theres. I do like that show but I disagree with my dad the second season was not well done. It fell flat and got a bit lazy.
My dad’s haltered for Will Ferrell I know I will not argue with him SNL. But Will Ferrell is a different story. How can you watch anchorman and not find Ron Burgundy Genius. He is just a horrible person. And will Ferrell was that character during that movie. How can you love David Brent or Enjoy Ari Gold on Entourage and hate Ron Burgundy. How can you love the humor of south parks so much and hate will Ferrell, It’s the same Humor. Oh yeah how come you love super troopers but you hate will Ferrell same type of humor.
Also My last thing I want to give my dad a hard time about is not finding apatow funny. He does not like Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The ironly is he has seen episodes of freaks and Geeks and Undeclared and he like Undeclared more. Even though, it’s the same type of humor. He also did not remember that Jason Segel was on freaks and geeks. But he claims he liked Undeclared more than Freaks and Geeks. I know he’d enjoy Freaks and Geeks more.
Although dad I am not saying you have bad taste in shows. You can be a bit of a snob we all get it from because we all can be snobs about shows even I. I will give you some props because you do like Seinfeld, Arrested Development and Edger Wright Films. Like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and, Scott Pilgrim. But next time you judge a show you might want to watch a first season. And also know this that sometimes shows can have a really good season but after its second season its not as good. And some shows like the office and Parks and recreation can get better in there later season. It’s rare that a show is good. It’s also best to put full attention into the shows that you are watching as well. Dad also your being a snob about TV is one of the annoying things I love about you. So I do not mean this to bash you. It am just poking fun about how ridiculous you sound at times

Movies my mom banned me from watching as a kid.
http://emprisereview.com/2011/lists/the-ban-list/
So I do not talk much about my personal life on my blog. Mostly it has to do with the fact that my life has been uneventful lately. I usually like to talk more about the people in my life and hear what they have to say. This is ironic because i am a chatter box. Who is at times is hard to shut up. A lot of times it’s me being a nerd about comedians or TV shows like. Anyways My Brother Josh who is a really good writer. Wrote a story about a habit that our Mom's. Every mom has movies they ban from their kids. This is understandable because there are movie’s that are not good for a child to watch. Like Mom's who take there kids who are 5 to Harry Potter 7 6 or 5. The later books are dark. Of course your kids are scared. The movie is supposed to be violent. That also means when I go to see part 2 this summer I want to go to an Imax so no crying babies ruin this for me. For the record, I think the right age to read Harry potter is age 6, 7 and 8. The early books 1 and 2 maybe 3. Books 4, 5, 6 and 7 are dark and I would suggest being teenagers to read those books.
. Oh god I am getting off topic. Actually I am not because that was on of the movie and books I was banned from. I was the appropriate age to read Harry Potter as well when it came out too. The ban list my mom had for me was different for me than my brothers. Harry potter was on that list. Because if you press the link to my brothers story. Which I do suggest you read it’s really funny. You will see one of the movie’s on the list was Escape to Witch Mountain. Witch Is the key word in why these were banned. Although the irony was that our Mom read the Narina books to my brother as kids because they were christen themed. Even though those books had witch craft in them. But I guess its OK because the witches and wizards were bad guys. They tried to read them to me but I never got through lion witch and the wardrobe. I still can’t get through them even though everyone tells me they are great. Somehow I just can’t enjoy those books. I am getting off topic again. The best way to describe my mom is she is really into her christen faith and she gets easily offended by the most ridiculous things. Although she is not as bad as the roommates we currently have from her church who told there grandson that The Wizards of Waverly place was evil. Even though it’s the least offensive show about witches I have ever watched. It’s like Sabrina the Teenage Witch or Bewitched but its for kids. This is not about how ridiculous my roommates are this is about my mom. Any ways I am going to make my list before I keep babbling on more.
(Oh one side note I would like to add. Because I have 3 older siblings, that were all boys. I would somehow end up watching teen movies that were not appropriate for me. Sometimes my mom would disapprove. And sometimes she would not even notice. For example Clueless, I remember watching Clueless at a young age. Not understanding most of it but liking it. Oh and my family would watch Seinfeld together. I still watched it when I was way too young. Also watching clueless at a young age was great for me because I was exposed to Paul Rudd at a young age even though I did not care for him much at that time I still appreciated it. Also watching Seinfeld at a young age is the reason of why I think I am such a nerd about comedy. Also having 3 brothers and one who picked on me a lot could also be the reason why I am such a nerd about comedy. )
1) PokEmon
A Japanese anemie that really popular in my school. That all the cool kids and i liked. My mom was OK with it. Until an episode where a creator had physic powers came up. She turned off the TV and told me i was not allowed to watch the show. I would sneak over to a friends house in my neighbor hood to watch it but my told her mom i was not allowed to watch it so i had to go home that day. Also the pokEmon Trading cards. I got really into. My mom would not let me play with them.
2) Harry Potter
I can understand why a lot of christen parents were mad about it. It was a big controversial subject with christens when it came out. My teacher in 3rd grade wanted to read it to my class but, my mom and a mom were mad. Called up my school and tried to get my teacher to stop reading it. She also to me to go to the bathroom every time it was read to the class. My teacher had to stop reading because of the complaints from parents. But she had an assignment for us to use our imaginations and write our own ending to the story. My teacher also encouraged us to read the rest of the book and makeup our own minds about it. Although i will admit at that time was Jesus freak kid, who obedient and listened to my mom. So i did not read it or see the movies. In high school my brother Jordan made me watch the third movie. I ended up enjoying it. I wanted to read the books. And we had to do a lot of convincing to get to let me read the books it did not work. My brother josh just bought me book 1 2 and 3 for Christmas. I read them all and loved them. If christens weren't so uptight and did not judge the book. They would realize that Harry Potter has great moral lessons in it. Moral lessons, Such as: bravery Tolerance, Loyalty, How to be a good friend. It has great moral lessons in it.
3) That's So Raven
Because she was physic and could see the future. Yes that show is unfunny and poorly written and acted. But I was a teen popper at the time who's favorite show was Lizzie McGuire so I did not care about things like that. I though people falling on their face fifty times in a row was the funniest things. Although I still was the weird kid who also liked to watch reruns of Seinfeld. This is a really weird combination. But I was 13 at the time, so watching stupid shows on the Disney channel was forgivable. This show was not offensive she did not have any other powers. She would have visions of the future make a goofy face. Than return to present time where she would tell her friends about the vision she had. The only people who knew about her powers beside her family. If the vision was bad she would come always come up with a plan to prevent it. Or if it was something good she would get high expectations about the vision and it would not work out that way. The worst part of the show is. The vision would always happen and the situation would always go wrong. She also never learned that you can’t meddle and change the future. Your vision is always going to come true. That was the formula to every episode. It was also god could raven be that stupid. Really Writers really show some respect for the characters you write. Also a thing I always tend to hate on Disney Channel Shows. Is that they portray the parents as being stupid. Do not get me wrong I can give my mom a hard time, but its out of love. We also have disagreements. But I still show respect. Because I am only 21 and while I am smart about something. I am also still young and have a lot to learn in life.
If parents want to ban their kids from watching the Disney channel do it because it teaches kids to be little brats. It shows a negative light on parents by making them look stupid. Not because it has someone with magic powers. Oh and speaking of That’s so Raven. Her Parents were the dumbest Television parents that I have ever seen. It made me want to cringe. That’s so Raven is also a terrible title for a show. But I am really ripping this show now. At that time I did like because I was teen popper and I liked mostly everything on the Disney channel especially Lizzie McGuire. My point is, even though it was a terribly written and acted show. It pagan values. It also had cheesy sugar coated life lessons in it.
4)Sabrina the Teenage witch and Bewitch (irony she let me watch morning reruns of i dream of Jeanie before school.)
Like my other posts. before i could not watch Sabrina because it was about a witch. Although unlike things on the Disney Chanel. When Sabrina was up to something stupid. Her aunts would sense it and not be stupid about it and tell her Sabrina no. Like how witches could not eat pancakes because they become addicted to it. Sabrina ate a pancake and became addicted to it. She did not listen to her aunts and something bad happened. Maybe because Sabrina lived with two of her aunts. Shows like Sabrina never had any evil storylines they were always really ridiculous. Like the pancakes one i talked about in this paragraph. It was never offensive.
5) The Black Cauldron
I do not know why she would not let me watch this movie my guess is it had to do with witchcraft. Like the pattern in the list of shows and movies i was not allowed to watch.
6) Anything involving Aliens i was not allowed to watch.
(i got away with a lot more because my brothers were good at being sneaky about movies by then. Also growing up they were teenagers. So they watched a lot of teen movies when i happened to be there. Sometime i would be told to go up stairs. But sometime i would just hang with them and watch the movie. )
7) I still have not seen the Titanic because Kate wins let was naked in the movie.
8) If you have read my brothers story we were not allowed to ET, the Goonies, The Dark Crystal, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Well one of my friends who lived down the street from me would watch that movie all the time. I was also not aware that my brothers weren't allowed to watch it. because i was probably a baby when it was out. But i would watch it all the time at my friends house. Also everything on Joshes list i have not seen except for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
There are more things that i was not allowed to watch. But its more interesting the things that i could watch growing up. Being the youngest out of a bunch of boys its crazy the things you can get aways with watching.
So I do not talk much about my personal life on my blog. Mostly it has to do with the fact that my life has been uneventful lately. I usually like to talk more about the people in my life and hear what they have to say. This is ironic because i am a chatter box. Who is at times is hard to shut up.

Funniest thing on modern Family
Is Dylans song. Its the that he is singing a song about sex in front of his girlfriends parents. Its the fact at the end of the episode everyone in the family was singing the song. This is not the clip from the actual episode this is a promo they made for the second season with the song. And yes the song is really catchy you would be singing after you hear it. Even if some guy sang it to your kid.

Anna Farris the next parks and rec castmember spouse to guest star?
Megan Mullaley and Will Arnett are two of the spouses to make guest appearances on Parks and Recreation. They both made two great guest appearances on the show. The standout of the two is Megan Mullaley, Tammy 2. But Like Arnett and Mullaley the producers of the show have been wanting to get Chris Pratt wife Anna Farris.
This is what i read on EW about this subject
Short answer: probably. Longer answer: if they can pen the perfect part. ''The writers are dying to work it out,'' explains Anna Farris' husband and Parks and Recreation star Chris Pratt. ''Megan Mullally came on as Nick Offer man's ex-wife, and that's going to be a tough act to follow.''
Those are my exact thought. I would love to see Anna Farris not play someone who is ditsy for once or stupid. On Entourage she was good but she played herself. I do think she can do more than play ditsy characters. The thing is Anna Farris is so good at it.
I do trust the parks and rec writers because every time they have someone guest star on the show it never feels like stunt casting. It always feels right. the guest stars are always right for the part.
I am on the fence about Anna Farris on the show. I do not want to see her play one of Andy's Ex girlfriends. But i would love to see her play a hipster friend of Aprils that Andy is not a big fan of. Or see her play. She could also do a cameo of some dumb girl tom meets at the snakehole lounge. I would also love to see Anna Farris play a entertainment 720 client. Who some girl trying to be pop star on Youtube.
Than again a lot of my ideas sound horrible and this is a reason why i am not a television writer. This also why if the possibility of her guest star on the show were to happen. I think i should leave it to the parks and rec writers.
If she were to guest star it would have to involve an interaction between her and Chris Pratt. Like Megen Mullaley and Will Arnett Interacted with their spouses on the show.

Modern Family season 2 finale
I really like this show. I do not love it like parks and recreation, But i still really enjoy this show a lot. There are times where the show can get too cheesy and sentimental at times. But there are times where the sweet moments on the show are just right. My biggest complaint with modern family is the theme song.
Last Nights Finale was one of the episodes where the sweet moments were just right. It was one of the funniest episodes this season. The Highlights were Cam giving dating advice to Manny. Also i loved that cam wanted to teach Manny how to play baseball. Also it was amazing that cam got kicked out of a bakery because he was giving advice to Manny on what speech Manny should give the girl he has a crush on. And everyone in the bakery think he was talking to a 6st grade girl. Than he says oh no i am talking to a little boy.
I felt like posting the clip because its funnier when you watch it.
Rob Hubel was a guest star last night. He is always funny, all though the storyline has been used in lots of sitcoms. The college em enemies, who are jealous of each other. Phil was jealous of Glen Whipple because he beat Phil at everything. I loved that glen was jealous that Phil got Clair in college. I think its funny that Phil pretend to be married to Gloria. I loved that glen Whipple expected Phil to be married to Clair. Than the rest of the episode he kept telling Clair he was lucky to be with her. It is a common sitcom storyline. But it did not take up a lot of space in the episode where it felt overkill.
I also loved the video Alex and Hayley's happy birthday. I loved that the video was lazy. I loved that they should have re shot everything and had everyone say happy birthday. But it was all embarrassing footage. I also loved that they gave it to Alex to re-edit the video. Which turned out bad. The disaster of the video was a funny storyline.
I like the storyline with Clair and Mitchell. Sneaking into the backyard of the house they grew up in. Than getting stuck in a tree house because they were scared of the dog in the back yard. Than being jealous of the new house owners being able to have a dog in that back yard. Than Being jealous of there step brother being able to have a dog. Because Manny is spoiled than they were.
I also love cam and Mitchell's decision to have another kid. And cam suggesting a boy.
I do like this show but at times it can be too much like a traditional sitcom. Also Luke has been overused. He is funny in small doses, Manny does acting does not impress me. I like Manny in small doses. But next season i could enjoy more with less Manny and Luke. I also think they are making Luke too dimwitted it can get old. Sometimes they do that with Phil too though.
( Side-note, Clair Pushing the wine bottle up against the tree to open the cork was one of the coolest things i have ever seen. I want to know how she did that.)
Modern Family is a traditional sitcom with a twist. It also is a modern traditional sitcom we would have seen in the 80's and 90's. But it shows that a non traditional family can seem traditional and normal. Its nice to see a new spin on the family sitcom. But i feel this show will be good for one or two more seasons. maybe a third if they are lucky. I do not see this show ageing well.

And everyone in the bakery think he was talking to a 6st grade girl. Than he says oh no i am talking to a little boy.
I felt like posting the clip because its funnier when you watch it.
Rob Hubel was a guest star last night. He is always funny, all though the storyline has been used in lots of sitcoms. The college em enemies, who are jealous of each other. Phil was jealous of Glen Whipple because he beat Phil at everything. I loved that glen was jealous that Phil got Clair in college. I think its funny that Phil pretend to be married to Gloria. I loved that glen Whipple expected Phil to be married to Clair. Than the rest of the episode he kept telling Clair he was lucky to be with her. It is a common sitcom storyline. But it did not take up a lot of space in the episode where it felt overkill.
I also loved the video Alex and Hayley's happy birthday. I loved that the video was lazy. I loved that they should have re shot everything and had everyone say happy birthday. But it was all embarrassing footage. I also loved that they gave it to Alex to re-edit the video. Which turned out bad. The disaster of the video was a funny storyline.
I like the storyline with Clair and Mitchell. Sneaking into the backyard of the house they grew up in. Than getting stuck in a tree house because they were scared of the dog in the back yard. Than being jealous of the new house owners being able to have a dog in that back yard. Than Being jealous of there step brother being able to have a dog. Because Manny is spoiled than they were.
I also love cam and Mitchell's decision to have another kid. And cam suggesting a boy.
I do like this show but at times it can be too much like a traditional sitcom. Also Luke has been overused. He is funny in small doses, Manny does acting does not impress me. I like Manny in small doses. But next season i could enjoy more with less Manny and Luke. I also think they are making Luke too dimwitted it can get old. Sometimes they do that with Phil too though.
( Side-note, Clair Pushing the wine bottle up against the tree to open the cork was one of the coolest things i have ever seen. I want to know how she did that.)
Modern Family is a traditional sitcom with a twist. It also is a modern traditional sitcom we would have seen in the 80's and 90's. But it shows that a non traditional family can seem traditional and normal. Its nice to see a new spin on the family sitcom. But i feel this show will be good for one or two more seasons. maybe a third if they are lucky. I do not see this show ageing well.

Emmy screening and panel videos for parenthood and parks and rec
So These interviews were posted on youtube with actors from two of my favorite shows on TV right now. Parks and Rec. Its their reactions to their shows finales. And they are pretty good at not giving much away.
I am going to start with parenthood.
Interview with Erika Christensen, Peter Krause, Monica Potter, Sam Jaeger,
Max Burkholder
I was disappointed there was no interview with Dax Shepard or Joy Bryant. From what i have seen from the finale i do not want Jasmine and Crosby to get back together. I think he has a lot of growing up to do. He lost her trust. I think them getting back together could happen, but i think he needs a lot more of growing up for them to get back together. I wanted to hear Dax's Response or joy response to what will happen with that relationship.
Julies Adoption storyline will be really good. Adoption takes forever though so it will be good to see how much of a struggle. But a sibling will be good for her daughter because she is so spoiled.
I also wanted to see an interview with Lauren Graham. I love Sarah Braverman.
Adam and Christina's unplanned pregnancy. It will be interesting to see how things go with max having another sibling. And we will not see him be the youngest anymore. Also i hope Adam gets a new job.
Parks and rec
The reason i did parks and rec second because there are more parks and rec interviews.
Interview with show runner Mike Schure ( Fun Fact Cousin Mose from the office.)
So everyone who is worried tom will not be on the show next season Tom will be there. Also Jean Ralphio (Ben Schwartz) will also be on the show next season. He was casted on a pilot for showtime but he worked it out on his schedule so he can be still make appearance's on parks and recreation. I also think entertainment 7 20 will not work out. But we will see.
Season 4 is currently be written. Mike Schure said he didn't know some of the of answers for next season but i think he is teasing the interviewer and fans. Michael Schure did say since they just started writing he cannot say what will happen with Leslie and Ben. But i also think its part of him teasing us. Also he brought up a great point about if Leslie runs for office next season it will be a struggle for her because she is so hardworking, and passionate and how people may rip her to pieces. So that will be interesting to see if she does run. Also i am excited to see the relationships between Ben and Leslie and Andy and April to develop.
Amy Poehler
I loved that Amy teased that maybe it will be mayor that she runs for or maybe it will not be mayor.
Preview for will Anett's new show on Wednesdays on NBC.
Adam Scott
He said that he is not sure what will happen with Ben and Leslie either. He likes the couple and how happy they are but if she chooses the election it will put a strain on the relationship and it may not last. I do not want heartbreak i want a disaster like the interviewer asked for the comedy aspect. But like Adam Scott said they both are not great at lying. He also said that living with Andy and April will be good for Ben so he can loosen up a bit. But i actually think Ben has been loosening up, since he moved to Pawnee. Its just in the style of the writing of parks and rec things grow slowly and subtly. I think Ben will loosen up more next season.
Love Nick Offermans joke about opera being Tammy 1. I also love that he said Tammy 2 (Megan Mullaley his real wife would be scared of anyone who is 7 feet tall.) My theory about Tammy 1 showing up is she wants to blackmail by revealing his secret of identity of duke silver. If you have not seen season 2 watch it because i cannot give away duke silver. But i doubt the writers will go that route because that is my i am not as good as the writers on that show and that would be way too obvious.
Post your thoughts on these interviews i want to hear your theories on these shows.

How to keep your curls lasting 2 days. All that glitters21 post
Its been a while since i have done a post on beauty. Do not get me wrong i am still a beauty junkie but i also wanted to use this blog as to also talk about TV. Because that is another subject i talk about a lot. Anyways i cam across this one youtube because i follow Elle and Blair videos. And i found this useful.
When it comes to the bun make sure your hairband has a strong hold to it so your bun can stay in overnight. Also like Elle said keep it loose because you want to keep the volume. It also prevents your hair from being lied on so it will flatten your hair.
If you want to make it last 3 days and you do not have dry shampoo. You can use baby powder. It will help the oils.
For me the day i do not wash my hair curls will stay in my hair. I might try this and talk about the results. Also watch the end of the video. She talks about a sea salt spray. But if you cannot afford a sea salt spray. A savvy at home tip is you can mix sea salt and water together and add to the ends of your hair. I will try that too.
