Hello everybody, as you can tell my blog has suffered lately but it's all good. I have been very busy so let me bring you all up to speed with the past few weeks or so. Things are going very very well with my girlfriend Amanda as we just recently had our 2 month so I couldn't ask for a more perfect girl, I love her so much. So although she is still away at school I try to see her as often as my work schedule will allow but that always isn't the case but we're making it work for sure!
As for the usual entertainment aspect of the blog lets dive right in.
The Office Wedding-
Best episode the show has ever done in my opinion. From start to finish there were classic moments including that outrageous beginning with everyone throwing up, that was comedy gold. The show is really hitting a new high this year as there have been some classic moments that hopefully come next year award time will finally earn them another Best Comedy Win!! But the episode was full of very joyous and laugh out loud moments but some very down to earth moments that I fell in love with from episode one!
When Pam is feeling like a wreck and she calls Jim into the room to talk and she goes on about how she feels ugly and that this isn't how she pictured herself on this day, the moment where Jim cuts his tie and says there were even, I will admit I got emotional. These are the two most perfect in love people and the way the show has handled it was superb. (Yes I do realize and sometimes forget I'm watching a television show, not real life!) It was perfectly written by the show's Creator Greg Daniels and executed wonderfully. Terrific acting by Andy, Kevin, Oscar and of course Dwight, he is the man!
And finally the wedding scene where they all dance in, I never knew that was a youtube thing until the show brought it up and finally watched the original source of that dance last night, pretty damn funny!
Back to reality...
Life has been very busy lately as it seems like I have something going on every day lately and time is flying by. It took a second today to realize that were already halfway through October, I mean halfway through October think about that!!
It's almost Thanksgiving already and then it will be Christmas time, good lord! But this is my favorite time of the year as I just love the holiday season. But we'll discuss that some other time.
Let's talk sports huh, how about my Yankees hmm? 3 wins down 8 more to go until Mission 27 aka winning our 27th World Series Championship is complete. I cant wait plus my Dolphins are on a two game winning streak and are starting to turn around, so all sports teams are in the positive direction.
Yeah so life all in all is pretty much perfect right now aside from a few minor details that I don't feel like ranting about here but yeah can't complain. Life is good and I promise to try and post new things on here more timely :)
So until next time, peace!

TK takes on the state of TV Fall 2009 Edition: The Best Shows!
Well now that the air has been cleared and my conscious has been cleaned I think it's time to move on with what TV has gotten right this season. With quite a few new shows sparking my interest this season, I feel good about the future of most of them so let's take a look at some of the best new shows on TV and some of the best ones that have been going strong for several years now.
Sunday's-
The best: Dexter- There really isn't anything wrong with the new season of Dexter thus far. I think it is one of the best written and one of the most talented cast of actors assembled on television. The addition of John Lithgow as the trinity killer has only added to the Dexter universe. Michael C. Hall makes my jaw drop each week as I think he is one of the best actors out there. The show sticks true to it's winning formula each season and is probably one of the best shows currently airing.
The best: Family Guy!- This show after two new episodes this season has won me over again after a terrible previous season that was filled with some new lows for me. But so far this season I've been laughing out loud like never before. Take for instance the season premiere where Stewie and Brian jump around different universes. I think the idea and premise alone are funny and just to see where they were going to end up was hysterical. The Disney character universe good lord I can't stop laughing about that one.
The show has gotten back down to it's core and that is funny jokes and even funnier and more random flashbacks. I think it will be interesting to see how the show fairs without Cleveland but I don't think they need to worry about that because fans are going to tune in each week to see what kind of nonsense and mayhem Peter and company find themselves in next.
Well as for Monday's there is nothing that really gets the best nod. Aside from Heroes, I also watch Lie to Me but that is in the middle for me right now so can't put it on my best. Also have gotten into How I Met Your Mother but have only watched one season so I can't put that anywhere yet but judging just season one it would easily fit into the best category. And as for Tuesday's like I said in the previous post I don't watch any shows on Tuesday's so onto the next night!
Wednesday's (The best new show of the season!)
The best: Modern Family! Let's talk about the show that I've become obsessed with. The pilot episode was one of the best pilot episodes I've ever seen. Never has a show really grabbed me like this one did and I just love every single person on this show. From the cool dad to the gay couple, this show just flows flawlessly. It is like one of my favorite shows on TV now just after two quick episodes.
Ed O'Neill is terrific as the center piece of this very strange and fun loving family and his take on what being a good parent is all about is so funny to watch. I think this show really covers what a modern family in this country is all about. They all go through some hard times and good times and yes find themselves in some very interesting situations. I think this show easily gets the title of being the best new show this season and I hope it sticks around for many many years to come!
Thursday's-
The best: THE OFFICE! Come on, like there was any doubt I wouldn't feature my favorite show on this list. But I'm not being selfish here, The Office has rightfully earned a spot on the best show list. In it's sixth season, The Office is on top of it's game so far and with the wedding we've all been waiting for airing this Thursday you just have a feeling that this episode could become an instant classic!
The show is on the right track creatively and character wise as well. I love where the show is currently and am so intrigued by the possibilities of what is next for Dunder Mifflin. With two co-managers now I can't wait to see what other story lines stem from this as a result. What other antics are in store for beloved characters like Andy, Kevin and Oscar and the biggest question will Dwight and Angela ever become an item once again? And will Michael ever find true love and happiness, I have a feeling he will!
The best: Flash Forward! This show intrigued me from the trailers I saw on the screen and they've proven to be worth my viewing. This show is very very complex and interesting and am left wondering what is going to happen next week. The show's premise is so interesting and is something I've personally never seen on TV before and that makes for good viewing and an entertaining show if you ask me.
The characters are ones I have become interested in and just want to know who is responsible for the entire globe blacking out. I can't wait to see what happens next and I definitely think Flash Forward is one of the best new shows of the season and is one that will be around for some time to come!
Friday's and Saturday's do not have any best!
So there you have it, the Best shows of the Fall 2009 Season according to myself of course. Did I miss any shows? Are there any shows I should be watching but am not? Please feel free to comment me and let me know, am welcome to hear any opinions.
Happy viewing!

TK takes on the state of TV Fall 2009 Edition: The Bad Shows!
Well for those who don't know I'm very into the world of media obviously as many of my blogs revolve around TV, Music and Movies. So you know I like to talk TV and figured after watching a couple of new fall shows this year and getting back into the ones I've been watching for a couple of seasons I'd like to address some concerns I have with some of the shows I watch.
Let's take a look at the worst shows on TV by day, shall we?
Sundays-
The worst- The Cleveland Show.
Well maybe it's not fair to put this show there because they've only aired two episodes and I have only watched one but talk about trash. I didn't and I repeat didn't laugh out loud once during this Family Guy spin off that features Cleveland Brown in a whole new world. The thing that makes this show fail is the characters. The neighbors aren't funny, the flashbacks aren't there and oh yeah Cleveland and his family aren't funny by themselves.
Take a look at the Griffins. Peter is hilarious by himself and all the family members, Lois, Chris, Stewie and even Meg bring something to the tables as individuals. I think it was very premature to give Cleveland his own show and I just don't see it lasting. I think they should of kept Cleveland as part of the Family Guy fab four instead of putting one of it's greatest characters in a new town that lets face it, ain't no Quahog.
Recap: Sunday's are actually a good night for TV but we'll touch on that later... but The Cleveland Show takes the honor of being the worst show on Sunday nights!
Mondays-
I need to do something different for this show because it's not terrible but I have to come clean with myself and the general public and say this show isn't nearly as good as it was when it debuted a couple of years ago. Heroes!
Heroes when it first came out was something that absolutely had me sitting in front of my television set every Monday night just wondering what was going to happen next. And after watching last night's episode, I almost just don't care. The show wastes too much time worrying about irrelevant stupid things instead of developing a story and characters. Take last night's episode. Hiro tries to save some guy at his company who is going to jump off the building because he is ashamed that he photo copied his butt. Give me a break!
So what does Heroes do, we waste about 14 or so minutes on this garbage instead of I don't know spending it on new stories and characters like the Carnival people. Heroes is all over the map and it's just becoming harder and harder to watch and I've come to peace with it. The show is sadly on a lost road covered in very thick fog and it's just one that the Heroes no matter what power they use will ever be able to escape from!
Tuesday's and Wednesday's are in the clear. In part two I'll touch on some shows that are actually on the best list and are quite refreshing on TV this Fall season, so stay tuned for that.
Thursday's-
The worst- It pains me to put this show on the chopping block but I've tried so hard to like this show and kind of did in the beginning but so far this season it hasn't kept me laughing. Parks and Recreation!
I really tried to like this show my friends but just haven't fallen in love with any of the characters and sorry does this show have a general storyline other then the stupid pit? Amy Poehler has her moments on the show but other then her the show's supporting cast is very weak. Rashida Jones, isn't funny and Aziz Ansari is the only one other then Amy who can make me laugh and the laughs are few and far between.
I just feel that after I watch it each week that the show and it's creative team are afraid to take the story somewhere and it shows. I don't laugh much anymore during a P&R episode and it's a shame because I wanted this show to work and last but sadly I don't think it's going to survive this fall season considering the time slot and the other new shows and competition that it faces each week. So watch out Andy (Chris Pratt) you may have company joining you in the pit pretty soon!
Another show that gets the sticker of being not good this fall season is a fellow NBC show- Community!
Sorry but for all the hype this show got I'm just not buying what they're selling. Maybe I just don't get the show's humor but I just think the show is very boring. Joel McHale and Chevy Chase can provide some good one-liners at times but other then that I'm just losing interest with each new episode and I think other viewers are also because ratings are starting to show that.
Community I think was way too hyped up and it's just not delivering. I don't think the show offers characters we can really get attached too, to be honest. I don't find myself wanting to tune in anymore and I honestly think it's time to delete these from the DVR because I think Community's time might be on a very short leash!
Friday's well they don't count, no one watches Friday shows ha!
Saturday-s
The worst- This one may be the easiest night of the week. Saturday Night Live!
What the hell has happened to this show? With two new episodes under their belt this season I have found myself so disinterested with a show that I have loved watching since I was a kid. Megan Fox and Ryan Reynolds were both very very boring as hosts and the sketches this year have been pathetic.
Is it just possible to have Justin Timberlake as the show's permanent host, because other then him, there is no one else worth hosting it seems. This past week for example I was expecting a lot with Ryan Reynolds as host. He is a very funny and talented guy but his talents didn't shine through at all as his sketches were very boring and very not funny! The digital short this week with Andy Samberg almost made me want to shoot myself.
What the hell is his appeal? Throw things on the ground? Really? God this show reaches new lows each week and better hire some fresh new writers and players soon before it's too late. Or I guess we could just have Lady GaGa get more screen time then the host, cause that was brilliant also!
So there you have it, the worst of the worst of the Fall 2009 TV season. I can't wait to feel a bit better about what I watch as I'll be posting the Best of the Fall 2009 TV season shortly, so keep a look out for that.
Until then, happy viewing!

TK reviews 'The Office The Promotion'
The Office 'The Promotion' Review
The Office is back and the beginnings are the best this season and today's was no exception. Love how Dwight went back and forth trying to get Michael and Jim to sign him expense reports. Cut to Dwight in the conference room telling us how he is going to put Jim in a triangle choke hold, it's all priceless!
James, Jim and Jimathy, is it ok if I call you Jim? Romantic birdhouse, donuts and pregnancy
So let the power struggle begin am I right? Now that Jim has become Co-manager with Michael things are heating up at Dunder Mifflin. Speaking of which how is it that Jim has an office all of a sudden in the corner? I don't' remember ever seeing that before, but anyways. Michael has been having a lot of conference room meetings and Jim is seeing that as nothing more then a waste of time so confronts Michael to stop the meetings. Clearly this upsets Michael and what is he doing later on in the day, having a closed door office meeting where Jim and him butt heads again.
David Wallace calls the Scranton branch and informs the two co-managers that there isn't enough money this year for everyone to get raises and then it is up to them two to figure out how to divide the money up properly. So of course Michael lets his frustration show and hates the fact that he has to do this with Jim and not by himself.
Pam is having a hard time deciding on her eating habits as we see her staring at a box of donuts. On one hand she is pregnant and on the other hand is trying to lose weight to fit into her wedding dress. Phyllis reveals to us that she is going to give them a romantic birdhouse and even asks Pam if she registered for a birdhouse online. Of course not. Kevin approaches our Pam and asks where they registered and she lets him know that they didn't register anywhere and that they just want cash. Kevin asks 'Money?' And he writes them a check and he makes out to Mrs. Pam Halpert and Pam freaks out because she has never seen it written out before.
Back in the conference room, Michael and Jim gather to figure out what to do with the money. Jim who has a good idea comes up with a pro/con list about all the possibilities of how to deal with this issue, while Michael just rambles on and just upsets Jim. Finally Jim just lets it all out and tells Michael he isn't good at handling tough situations and that he may actually know what he is doing and that is why he was put into this situation, to help with serious problems. So Jim who thinks the money should go to the sales team unveils his plan to the office people and an outrage ensues. The accounting department led by Oscar and Angela just complain and ultimately forces Jim to do a little rewind and come up with a new idea.
Love the conference room meeting with the team and how Creed just says yeah, while the rest explain their anger. Back in the meeting, Michael says a merit system could work and so they come up with a way to figure out how to come up with a way to disperse the money by putting jelly beans on the picture of the person they think deserves it. And we see a picture of some weird looking creature, who Michael tells us is Toby. So as they begin, they have to leave to go answer an email from Wallace and thus enter Dwight who causes another uproar and questions Jim's authority and power as a co-manager and tries to cause a mutiny but of course no one goes with him.
Michael kind of breaks down a little bit and tells Jim that he always used to have to make these decisions alone and offers Jim a present- world's best boss mug. Filled not with coffee but with gin, so what a nice present right? So no resolution tonight but yeah that's the office politics for you.
Best line of the night: Creed- Why haven't we ever... Meredith- we have.
Random thoughts: was interesting to see how both Michael and Jim interacted as Co-Managers and should be quite interesting to see how the two work together here on out. Love how the staff just continues to uprise and voice their outrage and you just know something is going to happen sometime soon.
Loved the ending with Ryan and Pam, and the $100 now or $5000 a year from now.
Solid episode in general and who cares cause the WEDDING IS NEXT WEEK! AND IT'S AN HOUR EPISODE!

TK reviews 'Heroes Ink'
Heroes Ink Recap:
Alright my friends it's time for a new installment of Heroes, so without further a due, let's do a little rewind.
The show starts off tonight with Samuel and Lydia in a trailer, with Samuel discussing he may have found someone to replace his departed brother Joseph. And it's none other then Peter Petrelli. We also see Samuel manipulate a jar of ink and he absorbs it through his hand and while Lydia tells Sam she can see whatever it is he wants to see, he says back that this liquid isn't for her, so hmmm interesting.
We also see a mysterious new character who I suppose has some sort of power and has like her whole bed shaken when her alarm clock goes off, to wake her up, so that was kind of odd.
Matt and his partner are sitting outside their suspects house and Parkman admits to his partner that he used again and is no longer sober. (Used his power last episode to ward off the repair guy). Mean while he is having a more difficult time controlling Sylar who is now fully embedded in Parkman's brain. They break into the house and Sylar is everywhere but also helps Matt capture the guy by telling him he is in the closet.
As Parkman and his partner continue to search the house Sylar continues to play mind games with Parkman just tempting him to use his abilities to crack the case instead of wasting time, but Parkman refuses to give in. As Parkman goes into the bathroom to search for evidence, Sylar offers up one of the best lines in the show's history, 'it's because I ooze charm.' Sylar continues to point Matt on the right track and we discover that this house could be something more serious then just a place for hiding drugs.
Matt discovers a ransom letter and a pink stuffed rabbit and once again uses his powers to question the suspect and he unveils that the girl is hiding under the stairs. He finds a girl but he is too late as the girl is dead. He starts beating the suspect until his partner comes back and Matt explains how he murdered the young girl. His partner goes to the stair case and sees that there isn't a girl or a ransom letter and we see Sylar explain that he used Parkman's power against him.
Parkman is in serious trouble as he is going to be in trouble but uses his power to tell his partner that nothing happened here and that everything is fine. Sylar tells Matt he is proud of him and tells him that they should go find his body.
Peter runs into our mystery lady back at the hospital as he asks to see a patient's records, one in which he saved. We see her listening to her iPod but it isn't plugged into anything and Peter notices it also. The mystery woman knocks over her cup of coffee and a spark of red or something is emitted and the two just kind of look at each other before Peter goes to visit the patient who is Samuel. We learn that the mysterious woman is Emma. She is deaf and is able to see/hear sounds as colors and that she doesn't want people to know she is deaf.
The two meet but Peter is suspicious at first because he can't remember saving him off that bus that one night but Samuel assures Peter that it was him. He goes on about how it's his responsibility to look after his family since Joseph died and needs Peter's help because he knows what Peter is going through and how fast he is. He doesn't' want to let anything bad happen to his family on his watch and makes a plea for Peter to help him.
It turns out that Peter is being sued by William Hooper (Samuel) and Samuel even breaks into Peter's apartment and using his ink touch power thing, puts himself into the picture hanging on Peter's wall and Peter comes home and clearly sees that he was at the scene of the accident. Peter catches up to Samuel in the park somewhere where the two engage in a conversation about the loss of his brother Joseph. Peter and Samuel have a handshake which I'm sure will turn out to be significant. Also at the park is Emma who is sitting watching a man play an instrument and she can see the colors being let off by it. She starts playing it and several bright colors are released as she plays. As she draws to the end Peter is back watching her play but she runs off when she's done.
Back at the college scene, Noah stops by and asks Claire out for lunch but the annoying Gretchen who saw Claire last episode throw herself from her window is accompanying them also. Gretchen makes the lunch scene a bit uncomfortable as she says things that makes Noah raise an eyebrow or two and gives Claire an interesting look to say the least. Noah wants to call the Haitian to have her erase Gretchen's memory but Claire says she can fight her own battles and doesn't need her fathers help. After dinner Claire and Gretchen start to open up to one another, because Claire is tired of keeping secrets all to herself. Claire ultimately tells Gretchen she has an ability and even shows Gretchen her ability to heal.
Peter is called to a job and it's the house that Samuel visited and we see that the house is completely gone and it fell into a sink hole. Peter's compass tattoo starts going crazy as well with Samuel overlooking him.
Overall, the episode was pretty solid this week. I continue to love the Sylar/Parkman story line but as a traditional Heroes fan I want Sylar to get his body back and wreak havoc.

A weekend rewind..
Hello everyone, hope your weekends were fantastic and long. A lot was going on for me this past few days and as a result the blog didn't get top priority. Sorry to all expecting my usual 'Office' episode recap, I just didn't have the time this weekend to do it, but don't worry I'll be putting it up Thursday cause I'll be home to watch it live as I don't work Thursday night, so hooray! But here's a quick recap: ONE OF THE FUNNIEST AND BEST EPISODES OF THE OFFICE EVER!!!
My wonderful girlfriend was home this weekend so we spent all day Saturday running around town during the first half of the day and then her and I joined my Uncle, Aunt and Grandma for dinner, cause they were all in from Florida visiting. So time was an issue and obviously there are other priorities then the blog, but don't worry I'm back!
It was such a great weekend as Amanda and I started watching How I Met Your Mother Season 1, and I have to say it's an awesome show. Neil Patrick Harris is so freaking funny on the show, it's terrific, so I've become an official HIMYM fan for life. Can't wait to watch the rest of season one this upcoming weekend! What an awesome show.
Just laid back this afternoon which was awesome as well. My Yankees clinched the A.L. East Title this afternoon by beating those fags- Boston Red Sox and also earned their 100th win of the season, I smell championship number 27 in the future!
Terrific weekend all in all, so time to relax tonight and catch the premieres of Family Guy, The Cleveland Show and of course DEXTER!!!
So have a good night everyone, and check back Monday night for 'Heroes' recap.
