In the words of Ricky "It Blew", the "24" finale that is. How could a season that started with a nuclear detonation end like that? It was still entertaining, but it was really silly.
I was really excited to tell you to check out the Must Replay TV lineup for this Thursday, but it has changed slightly. NBC has put together a good selection of reruns as a lead-in to the start of their burn off of the final episodes of "Studio 60". The night starts with the the "Earl" where Catalina helps Earl with the list. Next is "30 Rock" and originally it was going to be the hilarious "Black Tie" episode featuring Pee Wee, but now it is one of the earlier episodes where Jack set up Liz on a blind date. Then we have the convention episode of "The Office" which was when Jim first heard that Pam canceled her wedding. Then comes the musical episode of "Scrubs" one of the best episodes from a great show that few seems to still watch. Then comes the first of the final 6 episodes of "Studio 60", you can catch up if you missed some episodes here.
I like to think that at some point I can put all of my TV knowledge to good use. Lately I seem to have a screenplay running in my head, its almost like I can see it fold out in real life. It scares and amazes me at the same time.
I have shared several of the possible story lines with friends and an excellent title for my show was just suggested "Livin' the Dream".
It is going to be a dark comedy with a large ensemble cast full of truly unique characters, and could best be described as taking place in a live action Beavis and Butthead world. It will shock you
Look for it on FX in 2009
Update 5/27 2:30 PM: It looks like there is now some interest coming from HBO (or somebody just suggested it, I don't remember), but they want to take it to some dark places that I don't think America is ready to witness. I think it could be a fascinating, but funny look into a reality that you will hardly believe could exist. By slowly introducing you to the world of depravity, my hope is that you root for the characters but yet can't wait to see what they do next. They want to shock you from the beginning, but I don't think they really understand what they are asking for.

*Technical Issue: I tried to post a comment under The Office recap post, but when I clicked in the comment box it jumped me to your link about the mattress and the pea?
What I was going to say is, I was visiting my friend Ali who is a writer for Maxim magazine this past weekend in NYC. She was just at the Maxim Hot 100 List party, and partied all night with "Kevin" from The Office.
True to form, he was hysterical and fun in real life, and joined her for cigarettes outside whenever she wanted to go. This guy is always great on the show, but especially I thought the finale. If you spent an entire episode just watching him, even if he wasn't the focus of the scene, I think you'd be entirely entertained.
She also got "yelled at" by Ice Cube, who demanded to know why CoCo wasn't listed in the Hot 100. Duh! She's too good for that list!
