Good Game - Episode 1

I went into this show with no expectations but it's actually pretty funny. It's not perfect but it really only suffers from the same problems that every other comedy made today suffer from.

Due mainly to Dan's delivery, enough jokes land to make it worth watching.

Late Show - First Episode

It was 24 years ago today that the Late Show with David Letterman first premiered.

I remember seeing the commercials leading up to the first episode that "Dave" was "coming to CBS" but didn't really know what that meant at the time. My mom was a Dave fan but would never in a million years have let me stay up to watch it in 1993.



Having not seen it at the time - and watching it now - I'm not filled with nostalgia, but rather something much weirder - excitement. In this first episode, it really seems like the dawn of a brand new era. A seismic shift has occurred and the world will be better from now on because of it. Very strange to be excited for a future that's already past. Very strange indeed.

Now all we need to do is bring the Paul Newman "shoot point" back into common usage.

Irish People Watch IASIP

Irish people watch and react to "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". It's two great things that go great together. How can you lose with these two?

Late Night - My Morning Jacket

This performance of this song is my favorite musical performance in the history of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Actually, the competition isn't that crowded for that category - for whatever reason there were only a handful of good musical performances that come to mind readily.

But almost as impressive as this performance is how it exists on youtube. This performance was originally uploaded to youtube from someone's VHS copy but this video is officially released from the record company and in HD. That means that a record company had to be aware of an old TV performance, value it enough to contact NBC and Conaco to negotiate the rights, obtain those rights, obtain an HD copy and convert it for youtube upload. That's something I would have thought impossible. Everyone watching old clips on youtube wishes there was a better quality version but this time it actually happened.

The only thing I would change now would be the way Conan says "Kentuckyyy".

My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday:

Game Grumps - Zelda's Adventure

The Game Grumps are currently in the middle of an exciting "Zelda's Adventure" playthrough. If you've never heard of ZA, it's the third Zelda game released for the failed Philips CD-i game system. The Zelda games for the CD-i are widely considered to be the worst of the Zelda series and "Zelda's Adventure" is supposedly the worst of the three.

In this episode, the Grumps face the evil foe Lort. Remember the memorable character Lort? Lort, from all your Zelda video games? Well you're in luck, because you're going to get to see him one more time here in this episode.



Good Lort.
