Sunday Night Animated comedies are back!


JACKASS: UNRATED EDITION (DVD)
Almost exactly the same as the R version with a bit more penis and testacles in the mix - and a 5 minute extra bit of so-so gags. I should've stuck with the original but I paid 13 bux for this and felt ripped off. Still - no matter what - laugh out funny. Worst/Best gag: the paper cutting bit. I still can't watch that. The commentaries here are first rate and hysterical.
Grade: A

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (IN THEATERS)
Wanted to love it - ended up just sort of liking it. The cast is good, but everyone, especially the script, tries way to hard. The movie is sort of derivitave of every low budget Indie you've ever seen - but the little girl who battles for MISS SUNSHINE just about steals the show. Jess LOVED it - me:
Grade: C -

FASHION ROCKS (CBS)
One of the very best rock/dance shows - Elton spun the hits - Scizzor Sisters showed - there were so many great acts and songs - this was really one for the books - catch it if they repeat it. Elton even sung a new song from his upcoming CD, THE CAPTAIN AND THE KID.
A

SIMPSONS (FOX - SEASON PREMERE)
Homer and his son get involved in the mob. I think this is season 14??? And to have an episode be this funny - great. I hope all the Sunday nite animated shows stay on forever.
Grade: A


FAMILY GUY/AMERICAN DAD (FOX - SEASON PREMIERES)
What can I say - I laughed really hard last night - and FINALLY - THE SIMPSONS plays with the other 2 shows - I got really sick of the Simpsons being on at 7 or mixed in with the unwatchable KING OF THE HILL - now if we could just get rid of WAR AT HOME once and for all and find a way to stick new SOUTH PARKS in that 9 30 slot......
Grade for these 2 shows: A

It was great to watch brand new back to backs of these instant classics.
A moment of silence for the odd death of Anna Nicole's son 3 days after the birth of her new daughter. Strange and very sad.
I enjoyed listening to the STERN SHOW'S re-broadcast of their 9/11 radio show. I've also enjoyed listening to Howard on my computer now that the show streams to the computer if you are a subscriber to Sirius.
Me and my girl are in a weight loss competition - I will reveal the results as they come in. What are we betting? The human rights of the other for 5 days - so if I lose, she can make me do whatever she wants for 5 days - I suspect this will involve lots of LEAVING THE HOUSE. If I win - Jess can really expect to watch LOTS of WISEGUY, DAWN OF THE DEAD and HILL STREET BLUES episodes.
