Big Time in Hollywood, FL - Series Premiere

Big Time in Hollywood, FL : Brilliant 

(Series Premiere)

Tonight Big Time in Hollywood, FL Premieres (March 25 at 10:30/9:30c) on Comedy Central and it's simply Brilliant. 

Why is it Brilliant? Because it had me laughing the whole time. "Laughing" is something I have been dying to experience for awhile now. Every Comedy show that premieres seems to loss its steam after awhile (I'm betting with Stiller this won't). There hasn't been a film that has come out that I honestly laughed throughout the entire run-time. 

Comedy has been pretty dead on both TV and Film.

Fast forward to when I laid my eyes on Big Time In Hollywood, FL. The other night I was on YouTube watching my subscriptions. An ad from Comedy Central pops up before a video and its the complete first episode of Big Time. I was about to skip it but it kept me drawn in. This was a 20 minute ad and I sat through the whole thing with a skip button to my right. I did not skip. Instead the crazy idea of two brothers who love film making kept my eyes fixated to the screen. It's stupid fun, fun in which I haven't had in awhile. For me Comedy Central is a channel I usually have on. But my normal CC shows have been disappearing. Only show left on CC that I look forward to watching is South Park. 

Well not anymore. 

Hollywood, FL is a show that I will be watching. 

From IMDB: Big Time In Hollywood, FL Follows two delusional brothers, who are self-proclaimed filmmakers, as they are kicked out of their parent's house and end up on an epic cinematic journey.

A cast that includes Ben Stiller (also Producer), Stephen Tobolowsky, Kathy Baker and Keith David already have my attention. But the premise holds me even more. Alex Anfanger and Lenny Jacobson are funny. Their dimwit is just perfect. Usually I find dimwit to be annoying, It can ruin the experience (Penny from Dumber and Dumber To). But I honestly feel this will work. With Ben Stiller I have no doubts.

I don't want to waste your time with my horrible writing, instead watch the episode tonight or below.

Please give it a watch!

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

Last Week Tonight: Convalescing

When I first watched Last Week Tonight  it was the night of the premiere episode. I liked it a lot mostly because its a carbon copy of The Daily Show, which I love. After the episode I wanted to write a review but something seemed off about the show. It seemed fast like the rock from Raiders of the Lost Ark was coming and they figured lets get this over with as quick as possible and get the hell out. John Oliver was good, seemed a bit frighten but hey who can blame the guy. But I feel the amount covered in the episode was too much for the time given.

So I figure I'd wait till episode 2, maybe something will change. Okay so I clicked on my HBO GO (greatest thing since sliced bread) noticed the thumbnail of a interview and clicked play. I'm watching it on my TV eating breakfast, its Monday, the morning after and I enjoyed it. But again something seemed off. The show was about to be over and Oliver says to go online and watch the interview, then the show ends.

Wait, what?

Yes the interview wasn't in the show, the interview thumbnail used for that very episode. I'm sure this is a simple mix up, okay shit happens I'll wait till episode 3. But damn I wanted to watch that interview, the one I was expecting in the very show I clicked on. I don't want to go online and watch it on my laptop.

Episode 3 is the best yet. It's getter better with each episode because it finally took its time and focused on less stories.

LWT is here to stay.

Here is the thing that is good about this show, its the format. The format works fantastic. Comedy Central knows this and HBO saw a opportunity and took it. Good for them, having the format and no rules to follow like CC has too is fantastic. Anything goes, cursing is allowed to show the stupidity of the world and this makes it even better.  Like Oliver Said in episode 3,

"This isn't network television, this is HBO. This is the wild wild west of sex and violence" 

By the way, Veep and Game Of Thrones is killing it this season.
