The Carbonaro Effect

November 5, 2014 // 0 Comments

I recently stumbled across this show late one night when I’d watched everything else on my DVR including We Are The Millers. To be honest, I’d seen the show in the guide but didn’t really like the name of it – The Carbonaro Effect. I thought it might be like one of those crazy SyFy shows and avoided it. I was wrong. So what is The Carbonaro Effect? It’s a hidden camera show with a twist – he’s a magician. The show is hosted by Michael ...Click for More

Goodfella Suing The Simpsons

October 22, 2014 // 0 Comments

Frank Sivero who played Frankie Carbone in the movie Goodfellas filed a lawsuit yesterday claiming that The Simpsons have stolen his likeness and used it without his permission. Sivero claims that the character Louie is based on Sivero and his portrayal of Carbone in Goodfellas. Sivero’s lawsuit seeks, get this, $250 million in damages because he says it’s obvious he was the basis for the Louie character. He says that in 1989 he lived in a Sherman Oaks apartment building next door ...Click for More

Deadbeat Is A Hulu Original

May 22, 2014 // 0 Comments

As you know, the writers here at MWTVG all have day jobs and as such don’t always know exactly what’s going on in TV land. Plus, there’s literally 9,000 different outlets that are all creating original content (I may have used literally wrong). All I’m saying is that it’s hard to keep up with new shows. Add to it that we’ve reached the point of the season where most of the shows have wrapped for the year. The networks are doing salutes to the troops and ...Click for More

15 Most Annoying Celebs

May 1, 2014 // 0 Comments

As a whole we love celebrities. At last count there were 4,937,343,091 plus or minus websites devoted to celebrity goings on. Whose wearing it best, how small is her bikini, is Rihanna wearing a shirt, and is she a lesbian are all questions we want answered every day. Still, when you read as many articles as we do over here, it seems that certain celebrities are everywhere despite them not having done anything or have over-extended their welcome. For example, other than making a few sex ...Click for More

Scott Carroll Will Endorse Anything

April 28, 2014 // 0 Comments

I’m not too big on the whole Cubs/Sox thing. I’m a Cubs fan and that hate thing is really only something Sox fans do because of their insecurities. I was listening to the Boers and Berstein radio show today and they played this video (just the sound because you know, they are on the radio). The video you are about to watch here is from Chicago White Sox pitcher Scott Carroll. The intent of this video seems to be trying to get himself out there for endorsement deals. What is not ...Click for More

Bangs Are Bad Mkay

April 17, 2014 // 0 Comments

A couple of days ago during my review of Mom on CBS, I stated that Anna Faris looks terrible with bangs. In fact all women everywhere look bad with bangs. I thought I was pretty clear on this point – bangs are bad mkay. I know, I know I just posted this earth shaking revelation a few days ago and I should allow woman who have been duped by their hairdresser or Super Cuts stylists into thinking bangs looked good some time to make an appointment to get it fixed. Nope. This is just too ...Click for More

Viewer Mail For April

April 16, 2014 // 0 Comments

It’s that time again for us to finally get around to answering questions from our loyal fans. As a reminder, we are not medical professionals and some of the questions we get have us concerned to a point that you should actually seek professional help. I know we search the web daily and see hundreds if not thousands of pictures, but honestly we don’t know if that growth is infected. Get it looked at. With that, here is viewer mail for April… Renee Flexbone from Duluth, MN ...Click for More

Episodes – Best Show You’ve Never Heard Of

April 9, 2014 // 0 Comments

The problem with shows on pay cable is that a lot of us are too cheap to pay to get the premium channels. That means we sometimes miss out on great shows. Episodes is one of those shows for me. I was late to the party and am still not caught up but as I recently caught up on Scandal I needed a new show. Episodes is a funny show. Matt Leblanc is a funny guy. How can you not love a show with Joey from Friends. Probably my favorite thing about this show is that he plays himself. ...Click for More

Swedish Marines Greased Lightning

April 8, 2014 // 2 Comments

How bored can you get on deployment? You can get so bored that you choreograph a nearly perfect recreation of Greased Lightning from Grease. These are a bunch of Swedish Marines who have enough time on their hands that they were able to pull this off. There isn’t much I miss from my time in the Army, but this is an example of something I do miss. The stupid things that you and your buddies can do because you are bored. Swedish Marines Greased Lightning Here is the actual scene from ...Click for More

Winnie the Pooh as Darth Vader

April 7, 2014 // 2 Comments

Because Google has screwed us yet again and made us basically disappear despite us doing things the way they wanted, we decided to just go back to posting whatever we wanted and Google can go F themselves. Here is something funny. What would it sound like if Winnie the Pooh were Darth Vader? Well. Here is a clip of the guy who does Pooh’s voice (Jim Cummings), reading Darth Vader’s lines from Star Wars. Winnie the Pooh as Darth Vader ...Click for More

Party Down South – “Make Room for Daddy” Episode Commentary

January 23, 2014 // 3 Comments

The second episode of my least-hotly anticipated show of ever was on tonight. Seriously, this is what I’m reduced to until the premiere of HANNIBAL and then shortly after, GAME OF THRONES. Until that time, my newest faux-fixation is PARTY DOWN SOUTH, CMT’S attempt at being more MTV than it rightfully should be. As I will most likely forever draw parallels between this show and its spiritual predecessor BUCKWILD, I can now confidently say that PARTY DOWN SOUTH is much, much ...Click for More

Party Down South Premiere Episode “Black Out”

January 18, 2014 // 1 Comment

Author’s Note: The tentative plan was to have this post up on Friday after the show premiered Thursday night, but I think a combination of disbelief at what I had just witnessed and the contact hangover I had from watching these people dump booze down their throats made me unable to comment until today. If MTV’s BUCKWILD wasn’t bad enough, the next group-of-idiot-rednecks reality show comes to us in the form of PARTY DOWN SOUTH on CMT. We have all seen what fame and ...Click for More

The Walking Dead and Dawson’s Creek?

November 25, 2013 // 2 Comments

Together they form… The Governor’s Creek. This video clip hilariously and ironically summarizes all the terrible feelings I have toward this season of THE WALKING DEAD. Two weeks ago was perhaps the worst episode of the series thus far with The Governor wandering around like a mute Jim Morrison/Jesus/Santa Claus. To be clear, I like DAVID MORRISSEY quite a bit and think he could play an excellent Governor-role if the writers would only allow for the role as it was originally ...Click for More

New Lifetime Shows

November 4, 2013 // 0 Comments

The cancellation of The Client List last week left us all sad over here. The show was popular and only failed because Jennifer Love Hewitt insisted on her boyfriend being in the show. With the cancellation, there is a huge void in shows about the sex trade business. I know, I know 2 Broke Girls will eventually go this route, but until then I’m here to pitch a couple ideas for new Lifetime ...Click for More

Mo’s Musings – 10/24/13

I’m not fat, I’m big boned is something I wish I could say about myself. I mean maybe I have bones that are larger than average, I don’t know, I’ve never actually seen them. I’ve seen pictures of them. You have to love Chicago weather. It goes from 75 to 28 in the span of about 4 hours. Why do we live here? Oh right, we are all waiting to see the Cubs win the world series. I know, I know let’s get into Mo’s Musings. You know, let’s ...Click for More
