King of the Nerds – Games Without Frontiers

Posted on by
Reply


It’s week 3 of King of the Nerds. I devised my own nerd index also know as NAAG (not an actual nerd), whereby the biggest nerd actually has the best chance of leaving because they are the biggest threat.  So far the index is 2 for 2.  Heading into week 3 the index would say the Virgil, Ivan, or Alana have the best chance of being kicked off the island, wait that’s not right, whatever, you get the point.

First a quick moment to reminisce about Jon, their fallen comrade from Week 2.  Hey, nerds have feelings and they kind of grieve like the rest of us.  But even in Nerdvana life goes on and it’s time to get back to the game. The challenge is to fly a hover copter through some obstacles without getting shot down by the other team.  After some quick nerd trash talking (which is not exactly like normal people, probably because they think before they speak, which would be annoying) the games begin.  Continue reading →

Buckwild – Pitching a Tent, Ghosts in the Holler

largeJump in yer truck and git ready to make out with yer sister, it’s time for BUCKWILD again!

Now that I’m regularly covering BUCKWILD, I often wonder what I do on days that do not begin with “Th”.  The answer?  Recover some semblance of my IQ.  Not saying that the BUCKWILD kids are stupid, but the BUCKWILD kids are really really stupid.

So one might ask “Hey MIDWEST MARK… why do you watch a show you hate so much?”  And to that I say:  It gives me something to do while my wife watches GREY’S ANATOMY.  And I love to make fun of people less fortunate than myself.  And it brings a ton of website traffic.  Seriously America?  BUCKWILD?  Rumor is that there’s pictures and videos of women not wearing clothes hidden somewhere on the internet, why must you settle for BUCKWILD recaps?

(Sorry, thinking out loud again.  Come back and visit MWTVG often!)

Check out a whole lot more BUCKWILD inside! Continue reading →

Catfish TV Show – Rico and Ja’mari

Rico & Ja'mariCatfish TV Show has now aired 10 episodes.  Being late to the party, we started our review of the show at episode 9.

Episode 10 looks to be promising.  Rico met Ja’mari online while he was in the military.  What I am about to say will sound racist, but as a 43 year old white male living in the Midwest, I’m asking you to trust me it’s not (maybe a little, but I’m a 43 year old white male in the Midwest). Is the name Ja’mari a guy or girls name?  I guess I’m going to have to wait for this mystery to solve itself.

The show starts by getting some background from the person who wants to actually meet their internet boyfriend/girlfriend, in this case Rico.  Armed with 8 minutes of intel it’s time to call and try to setup a meeting.  So they make the call and at least we now know that Ja’mari is a guys name.  I don’t know if I want to live in a world where an attractive ex-military guy can’t find love at the club and has to resort to the internet.

Viewer Mail

It’s been awhile since we’ve taken the time to respond to the tens if not twenties of e-mails we’ve gotten from our fans.  You spent nearly 12 seconds writing in to us, the least we could do is take time away from our jobs, family, and this blog to address your comments.  With that, here is our viewer mail.

Q:  You used to cover manly shows like Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad.  Now it’s seems you only cover Buckwild and The Bachelor.  Are you thinking of changing the name of your site to midwesttvhomos.com?

A:  What an excellent question and not at all offensive.  First, we’ve written many hard hitting stories covering show after show after show and what did we get from it?  Nothing.  You people only come to our site to read about the most god awful shows on TV so that’s what we give you.  We aren’t proud over here and certainly don’t have any integrity.  If the producers of 2 Broke Girls send us a dump truck filled with money we will be the biggest supporters ever of the show.  That Kat Dennings is funny and hot (still felt a little pinch in my soul as I wrote that, hopefully it goes away).

Second, and probably more dramatic, is that one of our writers is currently battling a tough disease that according to many commercials now affects many men – Low Testosterone.  He’s on a replacement therapy, but now has the side effect of large and painful breasts.  It’s very confusing to the other male staffers over here.  But we support he/she and hope for a speedy recovery.

 

Q: Why does your Around The Web segment always feature a hot actress of the day?

A:  Look, the point of the segment is to entertain and educate you as to the many interesting happenings around the web.  We scour the web daily and filter out a lot of the crap for you.  After all that, what do you perverts click on?  Of course it’s the hot chick of the day.

 

Q:  I hear you guys are getting into the producer business.  Is that true?

A:  Yes it is.  We are currently casting a show about 4 women models who open their own private investigation firm.  What we are looking for is young women ages 18-24 that have significant daddy issues to contact us.  If you still talk to your parent’s please move on, you are not the right fit.  Oh, and until 2 Broke Girls gives us a dump truck full of money, we will need that too.

 

So keep em coming guys.  We will eventually get to your question and answer it with the dignity and respect you would expect from a 7th grade junior high boy.

Truer words have never been spoken around the web.  Happy Thursday!

  • From TV Guide, Jim Nabors (82) married his partner of 38 years, Stan Cadwallader (60), in Seattle earlier this month, he told Hawaii News Now.  So much to discuss here.  Really, Hawaii News Now gets the scoop.  Can we trust anything out of Hawaii?  So they’ve been together for 38 years?  That would make Gomer 44 and Stan 22 when they met.  My goodness Sargent Pyle.  (TV Guide)
  • In an effort to appeal to the 40-60 year old white male sexual predator demo, here is a picture of Dakota Fanning on the cover of Glamour  Magazine.  Oh, shes wearing a Mickey Mouse sweater that almost covers her belly button.  She kind of looks a little like Kate Hudson.  (Celeb Bitchy)
  • Rhianna finally admits that she is dating Chris Brown.  She has been taking a lot of flack from people saying she is crazy for going back to him and that she needs to wake up and dump him once and for all.  If she would just do what she is supposed to he wouldn’t have to hit her.  You think he likes hitting her?  No, quite the opposite, he gets mad at her for making him hit her.  Oh, and according to her he’s changed.  See, problem solved.  (The Superficial)
  • I’m putting in on here even though by the time you read this there might be an update.  Veteran actor Ron Jeremy has been rushed into surgery after suffering a massive aneurysm.  To many men he is the embodiment that if we wanted to, we have the body to do porn.  (Egotastic)

Supernatural – As Time Goes By

Breaking news:  Tonight’s episode of SUPERNATURAL was by far the best episode of SUPERNATURAL in the past two seasons.  Getting back to basics in a big way, it was a dark gritty demon-driven episode with Sam and Dean even bickering back and forth about their daddy issues again.  This tone is exactly what season 7 and 8 should have been all along.  Unfortunately, it ends up messing with the overall storyline a little too much, but I will let that pass in exchange for a few more like this one every now and again.

Confusing the family tree even further, we are introduced to John Winchester’s side of the family…

Planet Fitness

We love commercials over here at MWTVG.  I’m sitting in my office and have on King of Queens reruns.  I don’t particularly like the show, but it’s on.  I like Kevin James but Leah Remini seems like kind of a bi*ch.

Anywho, I happen to look up and there is a commercial for Planet Fitness playing. We are barely into the new year and the average male staffer at MWTVG weighs well over what a 7’6″ male should weigh, so maybe we could stand to hit the gym.

 

I still don’t want to join Planet Fitness, but can you tell me where the gym in the commercial is located?

 

30 Rock – It’s Over Tomorrow

30 Rock ends tomorrow and that sucks.  It’s been an awesome run of 137 episodes leading up to a 1 hour season finale tomorrow.

The show began back in 2006 and definitely took awhile to develop it’s groove.  Once Jack decided to mentor Liz Lemon, the show was never funnier.

Probably what makes us love the show so much here at MWTVG is that a lot of the characters and actors come from Chicago’s Second City.  I recently read Second City Alum Tina Fey’s Bossypants (yes I’m a guy, I don’t care what you think of me, she’s funny) and a lot of her personal life experiences are played out on the show.  Best I can tell, it’s been a tough life so far.

Best of Around The WebHi, I’m Mr. Right.  Somebody said you were looking for me?  You must be a parking ticket, cause you are so fine. My magic watch says you aren’t wearing any underwear.  Wait you are?  My watch must be 15 minutes fast.

Somewhere around the web, these lines worked on somebody.  Happy Wednesday.

  • Not going to lie, when I was a kid I was a Hulkamaniac.  To all my little Hulkamaniacs, say your prayers and take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.  Except maybe when you have a massively inappropriate crush on your daughter.  So Hulk’s latest public comments over his daughter’s legs and accompanying twitter pics of them doesn’t seem weird at all.  (Amy Grindhouse)
  • To all working mothers, Megan Fox tells us why you’re doing it wrong.  OK maybe I’m reaching a smidge, but in Megan’s latest interview she explains that she feels acting isn’t her job anymore, taking care of her child is.  Of course I previously posted about how Megan needed a night nurse and full-time nanny to help care for her one child.  Managing a staff to take care of your child full-time doesn’t leave as much time as it used to.  (Too Fab)
  • So who is buying Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens as good girls gone bad in the upcoming movie Spring Breakers?  Seriously, threesomes, drugs, and violence.  Oh, and of course girls in bikinis.  Check out the movie trailer.  Make sure you notice how completely ridiculous James Franco looks in dreadlocks.  I guess there’s not going to be a Disney reunion for Gomez and Hudgens.  (MTV)
  • This kind of behavior might fly at the Playboy Mansion, but I’m pretty sure copping a feel off young fans will only end badly.  Looking at this picture makes me think that we aren’t too far away from Justin Bieber’s first sexual assault charge.  I’m sure this girl was so excited to meet Bieber right up until the time he gropes her in front of the press.  (Celeb Bitchy)
