Eddie Huang on Fresh Off the Boat - first his memoir, now a sitcom on ABC.

This gives me some hope the show will actually be good. Has good talent behind it and he seems to be pushing pretty hard to keep his vision in it.

I just noticed that G4 has finally drifted away from my cable provider's lineup. RIP G4, may 5-year-old reruns of Web Soup sing thee to thy rest.

I noticed it because I noticed that Esquire Channel has nothing but a marathon of the '70s Incredible Hulk show, followed by a marathon block of The Getaway, followed by infomercials to finish their broadcast day. Why were they in such a hurry to kill off two stations that at least seemed to have enough programming to fill out a day, only to replace them with a network that has like 3 original shows, none of which are anything I think of when I think "Esquire"?

Esquire is supposed to be another network directly catering to a male demo, ala Spike. Considering G4 was home to regularly creepy programming like Attack of the Show, I consider this a step up.

At least The Getaway is really fun. I used to always watch The Layover episodes for anywhere I was going, and Getaway fills that spot nicely. Fun for Bourdain to produce but not host too.

Jenny Slate in Barcelona echoed so many of my experiences there, from my refusal to get on that cable car, the metro tickets, and a love of tomato bread.

It's not really like The Layover but it is a fun show. They follow a minor celebrity - some of the ones in season 1 were Joel McHale, Aziz Anzari, and Seth Meyers (and the twin brother he apparently has) - around for a week at some world location. I like it better than most of Bourdain's shows because you don't have to deal with Bourdain's know-it-all narration and general douchery.

If you need your Bourdain fix you've still got Parts Unknown on CNN, which seems more like No Reservations.

From AV CLUB:

quote:

VH1 Classic is hoping the warm glow of nostalgia will drive viewers to its new plan: airing all 433 episodes of Saturday Night Live in reverse order. For 19 days straight, the channel will run back-to-back episodes, starting with season 39 and working backwards to the very first episode, hosted by George Carlin, that originally aired October 11, 1975.

“The SNL Rewind: 2015—1975 Mega-Marathon” begins on Wednesday, January 28 and ends Sunday, February 15, in a nice bit of marketing synergy wherein that Carlin-hosted episode will end just moments before the start of NBC’s 40th anniversary special.

It's actually a little bit better than No Reservations. CNN's giving him free reign that he didn't have with Scripps and it's the same production team so the photography remains impeccable.

Something else concerns me and it hurts, see I'm, I'm single, I'm a single man, I don't have nobody, I'm looking for somebody and- but I'm meeting a lot of women out there, and you got some beautiful women, but you got some out there that, uh, I gotta say somethin'. Um... some of you are not washing your rear end properly.* (laughter & applause) OK? Don't- don't get me wrong, not all, some of you, you know what I'm sayin', uh... I'm sorry, 'Cause uh, listen, now, I don't know what it is a woman got to do to keep up the hygiene on the body I know, uh, I'm watching douche commercials on television, and I'm wonderin' if some of you are reading the instructions. I don't think so. Y'know, 'cause I'm getting with some of the ladies, smelling odors, going "Wait a minute. (gestures with index finger) Girl, smell this! This you! Smell yourself, girl."

Smell yourself! I tell a woman in a minute, douche! douche! Some women don't like when you tell them that, when you straightforward with them. "Douche!" They, (imitating woman) "Forget you! You cannot douche all the time, you're gonna wash all the natural juices out the body." I say, well, I dont give a drat what you do, put a Tic-Tac in your rear end. Put a Cert in your rear end. Oh, oh, y'know, this look like a good drat place for a Stick-up up in your rear end.

I'm sorry, y'all. You got to wash properly. You know, and then, you know, 'cause I'm a man, I like to kiss on women, you know, I like to kiss all over their bodies, you know. But if you're not clean in your proper areas I can't... you know... kiss all over the places I wanna kiss. You know, some women'll let you go down, you know what I'm sayin', knowin' they got a yeast infection. (Some audience disgust) I'm sorry. Sorry. Come up with dough all on your drat lip... Got a bagel and a croissant on your lip. "Anybody got any butter?" I like jelly on mine.

Well look here, y'all, we got a great show for you tonight, cause I'm here. (Cheers and applause) That's right. I'm here, Crash- yo, yo! Crash Test Dummies are here so yo, we'll be back, hang on, we gonna be back, we gonna do our thing!
