Hello faithful readers! I’m sure many of you are planning to watch the Presidential debates tonight. I know I am. But I’m still smarting over the Vice Presidential debates last Thursday. Why you ask? Because two of my favorite shows, 30 Rock and The Office, were not shown that night in favor of the debates. I had to go and educate myself about politics and the issues and America’s future when I could have been getting my funny on! With that in mind, this week I want to point out some TV shows and movies you can watch the next time someone tries to make you “informed” or “do your duty as citizen.”
The Simpsons – The Complete Eleventh Season
Widely considered one of the greatest television shows of all time, The Simpsons are a great way to make you laugh whenever you need some cheering up. Although some people claim the show “jumped the shark” after the 8th season, I am compelled to disagree, as my favorite Simpsons episode ever was in the 11th season. Saddlesore Galactica features Bart adopting and racing a bad boy horse, while Homer discovers the terrible secret of the jockeys! A definite must-see.
Sleeping Beauty (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)
One of those all time classics that young girls have been watching for many decades, Disney has digitally remastered this movie to make it really shine. A truly ambitious film for its time, the villainess, Malificent, has acted as a template for evil animated villains ever since.
As I mentioned earlier, this show is definitely one of my favorites on the air. Tina Fey (besides being a body double for Sarah Palin) stars in this smart and funny comedy show… about a comedy show. She shares the spotlight with Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan in a sharp satire that has won numerous Emmy awards. In this season, Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) dates a woman who was the star of a Lifetime movie, and competes ruthlessly with Will Arnett for the coveted job of CEO of General Electric. I cannot recommend this show highly enough.
