In what may be the most necessary purchase of your life, the Golden Girls, seasons are on sale at Target. I just got seasons 1-4 for a total of $30. They are normally $15 a season. GO THERE NOW! The deal ends the 28th, don’t miss out on some elderly hilarity from the original Sex and the City.
Bored to Death is my male-counterpart dream life realized.
As a child, along with half of Nickelodeon viewers in the 90s, I was obsessed with Harriet the Spy. I used to sit in trees and spy on my boring, old, yet nice neighbors, hoping for something exciting to happen. I even had a makeshift spy kit: My dad bought me special binoculars, I used a foldable mirror from Claire’s to spy around corners and I wore my notebook in my pants, just like Harriet.
(While searching for a relevant link for Harriet the Spy, I came across this amazing NPR article titled “Unapologetically Harriet, the Misfit Spy,” which is an awesome read.)
Jonathan Ames is the more realistic yet still fantastical version of our childhood spy Harriet. He drinks white wine, puts his private detective ads up on craigslist (because he’s a struggling writer) and gets himself involved into some good old-fashioned hijinks. Plus, his two best friends, Ray played by Zach Galifianakis and George played by Ted Danson, are so, so cool.
There’s something so sweet and well-intentioned about the show. All three of the men are smart, talented and good to each other. It’s a healthy and refreshing counterpart to the suffocatingly male-stereotyped days of Entourage.
Boy, girl, billy goat, whatever you are, you’ll like this show. If you haven’t seen it, you must give it a try!
I’m ok with The Bachelor. Mostly because it’s keeping people like that together and out of actual society, if only for a sweet, sweet moment. 
I hate the entire premise of this show. Desperate women fighting for a literal piece of shit (actually that would be way more interesting.) I’d rather give myself paper cuts on my face for the rest of the year than talk to anyone who is on this show. The relationships never work out anyways and the men and women on the show fulfill the most dated and annoying gender stereotypes imaginable.
I hope on every season, every episode for that matter, that one of the Bachelor’s dates gets too drunk and throws up on his face. #dreams
Zooey Deschanel on a weekly basis. Finally! There’s only so much our She & Him discs can do for us to get our sweet Zooey D fix.
New Girl. I love her outfits, her unsure but sweet persona and her all-male, crazy roomies.
Schmidt, played by Max Greenfield, is awesome. He may be the best character on the show. You want to hate him, but it’s impossible. Who doesn’t know someone exactly like Schmidt? The slightly annoying yet good-intentioned guy, who for some reason thinks it’s cool to say things like “bromance,” show everyone his abs and be waaaaay to into his hair gel. The fact that he used to be chubby in college makes his ab talk and vanity excusable, because lets face it: Beautiful people from 0-60 are harder to love. Fact.
The only thing I dislike is the use of the word ‘Adorkable’ to describe the show and the truly angelic Zooey D. I can just see that word on back-to-school pencil cases and coming out of the mouths of people who are not adorkable, but really annoying. Bleg! She’s a cool miss, folks. That’s it!
