Seriously Funny Kids

Seriously Funny Kids airs on Lifetime Monday’s 6pm est. time. Check your local listing.

Heidi Klum is the host and she is hilarious. She asks kids silly questions and of course kids will be honest. Which is always funny, but with Heidi as the host her reactions, responses and timing are impeccable. Being a mom of four is hands on training for this job. The kids are cute, funny and curious but I enjoy watching Heidi  the most. The hidden camera segments are so comical. They also show home videos that they ask the viewers to send. The show is thirty minutes of pure laughter. If you want to see comedy at its most innocent watch Seriously Funny Kids.

E 60

E 60 airs on ESPN Tuesday 7pm est. time. ESPN doesn’t just air games and scores they have this wonderful show E60. It’s a newsmagazine show with great sports writers Jeremy Schaap, Michael Smith, Tom Farrey, Rachel Nichols, and Lisa Salters. They feature stories about up and coming sports, coaches, athletes and how all this affects their families.  I like that they don’t only tell the stories of sports superstars they also tell the story of everyday sport superstars. It’s excellently written, filmed and edited. You feel the joys and pains in the stories. It always makes me cry. The most recent episode was about a young boxer Paco Rodriquez who died after a Championship fight and his organs were donated. They interviewed the recipients and told a brief story of their medical battles. The widow wanted to know who received his organs and they kept in touch via letters. A year to the day that Paco passed away at the request of the widow they met for the first time. It was heartbreaking. The tears were flowing watching his mom break down when she met the young lady who received Paco’s heart. These are the types of stories that made me a fan. To watch sports reporting at its finest watch E 60.

1000 Ways to Die

1000 Ways to Die airs on Spike Tuesday at 10pm est. time. Check your local listing as they air repeats a lot and there is a reason for that; this show is extraordinary.

The title of the show is very fitting as that is exactly what they show you, 1000 Ways to Die. They show everything from a man who gave himself a blood transfusion to pass a drug test, yeah that didn’t work out to well, to a video gamer who played for sixty hours straight and when he stood up a blood clot traveled to his heart, a fake artist who’s art work exploded because he unknown ling bought an old bomb, the stories are endless. They are based on true facts.

Death is not meant to be mocked, so they say, however this show mocks the fuck out of death and it’s funny. I have enjoyed this show since its debut in 2008. I like to have details and they do provide juicy details. They show the date of death, location of death, and tons of interviews with doctors, forensic science experts etc. They reenact the death with actors, then use computer graphics to show you exactly how the person died. The computer graphics are fantastic. You put it all together and you have a show that’s captivating. If you like dark humor with real science watch 1000 ways to Die.

Chuck

Chuck airs on NBC Monday’s 8pm est. time. My husband began to watch Chuck, so one day I decided to pay attention. It’s an action-comedy, which can be corny sometimes.  I didn’t become an instant fan but am interested in the story line. So far it’s keeping me interested.

Chuck Bartowski is a nerd who happens to be handsome and a secret agent. He works with his fiancé also a secret agent Sarah Walker, cutie pie Colonel John Casey and his bff Morgan Grimes. Their undercover job is as sales clerks at an electronic store like Best Buy, called Buy More. The supporting cast is everyone from Chuck’s sister to the numb nuts working at the store. The Governments spy lair is called “The Castle” and it’s behind the lockers at the store. This season they had the great Linda Hamilton playing Chuck’s long lost mom. The guest appearances are pretty good, everyone from Robin Givens to Timothy Dalton. The storyline is about Chuck discovering his past; it’s like a giant onion, every week they peel back another layer, all the while saving the world from the next disaster. It can be corny sometimes don’t see where it can improve. I will continue to watch until I get bored. If you’re a fan of action-comedies watch Chuck.

Archer

Archer airs on FX on Thursday at 10pm est. time and it’s an adult cartoon. I saw the commercials and thought it was not going to be funny. Boy was I wrong. I started to watch an episode as I was channeling surfing and laughed my ass off. The main character is Sterling Archer a spy who is vulgar, vain, insensitive, self absorbed, cocky and borderline racist. Good to see no holds bar TV.

Archer works at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) run by his mommy Malory who always has a drink in hand. The supporting cast consists of; Sexy Lana; also a spy, Cyril; the push over comptroller,  Cheryl; cute but dingy secretary, Pam; jolly human resource rep and Woodhouse; Archer’s butler who he takes advantage of. Ever week they have a different mission and deal with everyday life’s problems. The manner they tackle their missions is absurd and unimaginable. Very humorous spoof on the spy world. To see an adult cartoon push the limits watch Archer.  

Intervention

Intervention airs on A&E Monday’s at 8pm est. time. I’ve been an avid viewer since the show began in 2005. Intervention gives you an insight into the mind of a drug addict, alcoholic and people who have other addictive behaviors. The most interesting part of the show is when they tell the story from birth until there current state. It frightens me to see how these people have hit rock bottom. It doesn’t matter your class in society you are susceptible to becoming an addict. You don’t only hurt yourself as an addict but also your family. They show all types of addicts from a young girl addicted to compressed air, to heroin addicts to pill poppers. It’s fucking bonkers and sad. So the family gets together and tries an intervention to get their loved ones help. Sometimes it works, and then other times it doesn’t. I think this show should be shown at schools on a weekly basis to shows the true effects of drugs and alcohol. To watch people killing them self slowing and hopefully being rescued watch Intervention.  

Crush It

Why Now Is The Time To Crush It Cash In On Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk

Crush It is not a get rich quick book. It shows you how to use social media to build your brand while doing what you’re passionate about. It’s only 142 pages and straight to the point. It doesn’t promise that you will have success even if you work hard. It’s very realistic. It does give you great ideas and tools to succeed; the rest is up to you. Most of the books I have been reading lately are about succeeding online. I’m not looking to become a millionaire just enough to quit my day job. This book definitely motivated and reminded me that you really can make money online. Gary wrote another book called “The Thank You Economy” I will be picking it up on Saturday from the library. Interested to see where he picks up from Crush It.
