TheBilcourt: The Only Bright Spot... and the New TV Show Roundup

The Only Bright Spot... and the New TV Show Roundup

This was the only skit I found funny on the season premiere of SNL. It's kind of sad really. Most of the people on SNL can be really funny, except Kenan Thompson. Cubicle Fight was pretty funny, but A. most of the SNL Digital Shorts are pretty funny and B. YouTube won't let me embed it into my blog. Is anyone else tired of SNL's political skits? I used to think they were funny, but now they're just stupid and none of the impressions are good or funny.

New TV show stuff-

- If you're not watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, you should be. It's a pretty good show and its different. I like how it gives you perspective into how tv shows and sketch comedy shows in particular are made. It might not be accurate but its still interesting.

- Heroes is only on it's second episode, but I'm really interested in where they're going to go with this show. Due to the nature of the show, it could get really stupid. Then again, it could turn into a really great show. I guess I will have to give it a few more weeks.

- Six Degrees is an interesting concept from J.J. Abrams. If you haven't seen it, you can watch the first two episodes on abc.com. You can actually watch all of these shows on NBC and ABC's websites. Six Degrees deals with the concept/theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person through a chain of six people. Naturally, the show has six main characters that interact with each other in New York. Some of them interact unknowingly. Like Heroes, its been on only two episodes so its still too early to tell if this show is going to be good and exactly what direction they plan on going with on the show. Like Heroes, I'm going to give it a few more weeks.

All of these shows are worth checking out and because they just started a couple of weeks ago, you won't be that far behind. I'm still confused why I like Studio 60 so much more than Heroes. Next week is the premiere of 30 Rock, so set your DVRs. God bless DVRs. Without them I would be lost. Feel free to comment about these or any other new shows you've watched!

At 1:51 AM, David said...: I second Billy's claim that Studio 60 is a great show. If you happen to have watched Sports Night when it was on the air then you'll know what to expect from this show. Both show were produced by Aaron Sorkin who also produced West Wing, but I didn't watch that show.

Anyway, Studio 60 has great camera work, acting and writing so check it out!
