From what I've seen, the show just doesn't have any zing on it's fastball. It's really cookie-cutter sitcom stuff, not at all ground-breaking in the way that Friends was. I think people expected something really good, and just didn't get it, and I wouldn't expect it to be around for very long. Joey I don't think is a strong enough character to do a standalone series without the rest of the Friends cast. Point inf act, I don't think there's anyone from that cast that could carry a show themselves, so it was an idea pretty much destined to be lackluster.

Not to mention hovercraft races. Operation: Warzone and Traces of Red top my list. Lousy to the nth degree, but enjoyable nevertheless.

People are treating this like the next Milli Vanilli scandal, when really it's not even close. Guaranteed there have been many artists who have lip-synched their songs on shows like SNL, and it was just a flurbert that forced her into being caught for it. The quote cravataemark posted makes her look like a fool, but I don't think this is as huge a deal as some people are portraying it.

Frogstomp is still an album I pull out every now and then and just listen as background music. Silverchair was going places, but they really just slid off the radar. Too bad, really.

You're a twat and an idiot. ← Any particular reason, or just the usual Squancho Devil's Advocate shtick? I don't like it, it's too plodding and there's absolutely no subtlety to it. Eh, the message is there, but it's not indicitive of how all of Bush's opposers feel. Unfortunately, that's the way it's going to be taken.

Guns N Roses? What a joke.

I, along with everyone else I assume, think that the fact that it is about the disabled is completely irrelevant. ← Not quite, as the fact that they're disabled will be the true selling point of the film. It won't be "Let's go see that movie about the people living in an apartment". It'll be "Let's go see that movie about the handicapped people living in an apartment". It's the sad truth, but without the aspect of the two characters being handicapped, no one would even know about this flick. The entire premise reeks of schmaltzy crap that suckers in people based on their ability to feel sorry for the handicapped.

The lack of recognition for Laura Harris makes me sad. Classy ladies are where it's at.

As I recall from an episode of Inside the Actor's Studio with the whole Simpsons gang, Jackson did very little of the actual voicing for his cameo. He brought in someone to do all of the singing and some of the talking as well, so it's likely that the actor (John Jay Smith, as it were) was the one credited.

RIP to a comedy legend. Contrary to his most notorious line, his legend commands respect.

I always liked that really weird, out there show where they actually aired music videos. That was wild.

Deadsy - Tom Sawyer (Rush) Reel Big Fish - Take on Me (A-Ha) System of a Down - Metro (Berlin) Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (Nena)

You know you're a complete retard when you're not good enough to be posting at .400 It looks :thumbsup: like any other sim I've ever seen before, but with slightly tweaked features :thumbsup:

Fallon was definitely the worst player on SNL last year, beating Sanz by a hair, and among the worst of all time. His jokes rarely hit and his was totally overexposed. That, and he laughed out of character constantly. Like, every sketch, constantly. I can handle a bit of laughter on the odd occasion, like with the Debbie Downer sketch, but he laughed in pretty much every sketch I saw him in last season. I'm glad he's gone. That said, I think Seth Myers and Will Forte will probably be standouts this year, as both guys are awesome but had a lot of the spotlight taken away by Fallon. Seth would be an awesome host of Weekend Update, and I'm hoping that's what goes down. His top-notch work on Spyglass is proof that he can handle the role well.

I love the show as a whole, but the best parts, for me, are the little nods to various films and TV shows. For the sake of an example, look at the episode where Lahey and Sam Losco (sp?) are running for the position of Trailer Park Supervisor. As Sam gives his speech, there's a guy with a mohawk and army fatigues standing nearer to the back of the crowd, an obvious nod Taxi Driver. The show is great, some of the jokes are first rate and the characters are to die for, but those little moments make the episodes for me.

The Mars Volta is an awesome off-shoot of At The Drive In, definitely check them out.

My thoughts exactly. Expect a cocaine recession once this thing hits stories. Courtney's going on a shopping spree!

Lousy teen drama where everything bad that can possibly happen does and more. It's an accurate portrayal of how adults think preteens think teenagers act.

It may have been a forgone conclusion, but I thought it was probbly one of the more creative videos of the last year, and easily the most creative one nominated.

Get banned already.

Campus/Community Radio is always the answer. My local radio fucking blows too. Then I took on a co-op at the local campus/community station and figured out that all radio doesn't suck. If you don't like MTV, and you're sick of hearing the same shit on the radio, try listening to your local campus station. It's like a breath of fresh air.

Or making a total and complete joke out of himself. Moreso.

Sadly, MTV will never fall out of touch. They'll ride every fad that comes rolling along and never stop appealing to 12 year olds who are too stupid to decide for themselves what they like. That's the MTV generation for you, a bunch of brainless tools who like whatever they're fed the most. Fuck music videos, go listen to the radio.

When you suck in studio, it's pretty hard not to suck live. These shows aren't even entertaining anymore. There's always someone on the show who plays a sizeable role that I find to be a complete annoyance. This year: Will Smith. I saw him yelling and jumping around on stage and had the channel changed in about 4 seconds. I hate that guy. It'll be interesting to see how the awards play out, and if it'll go like every other year. You know, where someone who absolutely blows takes away like 5 awards for the same video. I'm only really interested to see who takes the MTV2 award, unless they've cut that out for an inane segment with someone who's brains I'd love to blow out with a shotgun. EDIT: They even killed the MTV2 award, nominating crap like Yellowcard. I thought MTV2 promoted music that isn't shamelessly whored out to everyone on the face of the earth. I guess I was wrong.

EDIT: Damnit. Forget it.
