My SNL Mad Men Parodies


There's no doubt the writers of 'Saturday Night Live' are fans of 'Mad Men', or least they're watching it enough to nail down some very good sketches about the Emmy winner for Best Drama Series. My heart jumped a little when I saw Elizabeth Moss take a break from her Broadway show to make an appearance as her alter ego, Peggy, with John Slattery and host Jon Hamm in a 'Mad Men' sketch. But by far, the funniest tidbit was 'Don Draper's Guide To Picking Up Women'. Even if you're not a 'Mad Men' freak like myself, you'll get a few chuckles.

My Top Ten Television Seasons of Comedy This Century


23277072

How's that for a wordy blog title? (I couldn't of anything else that would fit the description)

10. Curb You Enthusiasm (Season 1)- I totally associate with the bunched up pants.
9. How I Met Your Mother (Season 2)- The birth of slap bet AND Robin Sparkles!?! Hecks yeah.
8. Weeds (Season 2)- Whenever Celia is at her out-of-control state is when the show is at its best. Let’s not forget, Nancy ended the season with 20 guns pointing at her.
7. The Office (Season 2)- I thought the series truly gelled together once Michael became less schticky and more awkward.
6. Extras (Season 1)- Kate Winslet as an Oscar hungry actress? Genius.
5. Desperate Housewives (Season 1)- I don’t remember anything else at the time that had me glued to the television the way the ladies of Wisteria Lane did.
4. Sex and The City (Season 4)- ‘Sex’ at its prime. I still kinda wish Carrie would end with Aidan instead of the horrid Mr. Big.
3. The Comeback (Season 1)- It’s ashamed Valerie Cherish never caught on. I could’ve watched that trainwreck for many, many seasons.
2. 30 Rock (Season 1)- I still laugh hysterically thinking about Alec Baldwin saying "My mouth tastes like purple."
1. Arrested Development (Season 1)- Ten cents will get you nuts. Oh, I do hope the movie is happening.

Okay. Did I miss any?

My Fierce, Hot Messed Tranny

Even a week after it originally premiered, Amy Poehler's Christian Siriano still cracks me up. Though the show is still pretty rough, since its return from the writer's strike, SNL has managed to throw out some nifty catch-phrases (see: 'Bitch is the new black.')

My Squeegees


The online television series craze continues with ABC and Youtube's first original internet series, Squeegees. Running at around 4-5 minutes, the humour is slapstick yet endearing and doesn't take itself too seriously. Check out the pilot for yourself.
