OMG. California Dreams Reunion!!!!

Jimmy Fallon got upstaged by People Magazine with the Saved By the Bell reunion last year, but he didn't let it happen again this year. Jimmy did it! CALIFORNIA DREAMS REUNION IN FULL EFFECT!!! With the exception of Jake, this cast has aged quite well. They look dope. Tony is a little bigger but it's all good.

This is the reunion of the original cast, so it doesn't include Sly's brother Mark and the latina girl Lorena, who replaced the Asian girl Sam. Actually, Sam was original, original. She replaced Heidi, Matt's sister. Anyhow, this reunion features the most popular characters. Loving it!

Below, some great bonus jam video clips:

Greatest high school bowling party ever....

Steven Seagal Lawman: A Euphoric Experience

I can't even begin to describe how INCREDIBLE Steven Seagal: Lawman is. It's like the Grand Canyon...You just have to go see it for yourself...and be prepared to have your mind blown. (Wed @ 10p-11p on A&E. Holla at that.)

Basically, this series is COPS, but 1000x better because Steven Seagal is one of the cops! And for all the doubters out there, he is the real deal Holyfield. He's a legit police officer. This ain't some fake shizz like The Hills. Real police work. In a bad part of town (Jefferson Parrish, Lousiana), and Seagal doing what he does best....BEING STRAIGHT UP BAD-ASS!!!! Dude can really fight, can really shoot a gun, really has that hair, and is really that zen. I can't even believe Seagal is still this bad-ass at 59. 59 and still taking names!

This show is pretty much flawless. Probably one of the best opening credit sequences in TV history, where Seagal gives two amazing quotes right off the bat!
-"I make a living in the movies, but for the past 20 years, (dramatic pause) I've also been a cop."

-"My name is Steven Seagal. That's right. Steven Seagal. Deputy Sheriff."

You just have to watch this show. It's a euphoric experience.

There's been four episodes so far, and Seagal has already done the following amazing things (SPOILER ALERTS):
-During target practice, Seagal shoots the tip off of a Q-tip.
-Incredible Aikido demonstration to his team.
-Seagal's amazing vision to see crimes unfold before anyone else does.
-Seagal's crazy dogs!
-Seagal's blues band plays for a charity concert to raise money for a children's hospital!!!! (Steven Seagal with the Mojo Priests!!!! He sings and plays guitar!)

WHAT CAN THIS MAN NOT DO!!! BEST REALITY SHOW ON TV RIGHT NOW IF NOT ALL TIME!!

Jamie Foxx is underrated (exclude his Oscar).

Sometimes, I don't think Jamie Foxx gets enough credit for his multi-hypenate dominance. (Yeah, I know he's won an Oscar, Grammys, other awards etc., but exclude that). In the modern era of multi-hypenate actor/singers (Miley, Leighton Meester, Scar Jo, LiLo, Jessica and Ashlee), let's not forget the dopeness that is Jamie Foxx. Seriously, his talent is off the chain. Bonus Jams has been down with Jamie ever since the In Living Colour days. We even liked The Jamie Foxx show (which carried the O.G. version of The WB for years (exclude Dawson's Creek and Felicity)).

Here is just a sampling of some of my favorite clips that I found on youtube.



I mean, this clip pretty much sums it all up. Jamie can sing, play piano, do stand-up, do comedy, and act (his impression of Luther in this clip is spot-on). He's just straight up an ENTERTAINER!



Jamie's tribute to Serena Williams is incredible. He even had Tom Cruise, Samuel L., and Lebron rolling in this clip. I'm not saying these guys are the authorities on comedy, but Jamie is pretty ridiculous in this clip. Straight ENTERTAINMENT here.

This Is It: Would have been the greatest concert of all time. ALL TIME!

WARNING: SPOILER ALERTS BELOW

Michael Jackson: This Is It - Basically, this post-humorous documentary takes BTS footage shot during MJ's concert rehearsals (maybe from the 2 or 3 best rehearsals he had) for his would-have-been 50 concert stint in London and shows viewers what that concert would have been like - pretty much THE GREATEST CONCERT EXPERIENCE OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME! (Sorry Taylor Swift).

This concert had everything. Pyro. Dope cinematic sequences. Great wardrobe. Dancers blasting onto the stage. A pretty tight band (the female guitarist is ridiculous!). And of course, MJ showing his artistic genius and singing/dancing some of his all-time mega-classics.

For the most part, MJ still got it. A very Brett Farve-like performance during his rehearsals (of the 4 TD variety vs. Green Bay). For a 50-year old dude, he was still hanging w/ his 20-something dancers. And in a lot of moments, the band and dancers were trying to keep up with him. (MJ still knows his shizz.) I was most impressed with MJ's voice. Despite conserving his voice during most of the rehearsals shown, he still sounded awesome (at one point he felt the music on one song, went off, and sounded ridiculous). Clearly, MJ was at home on the stage. This is the lab where the mad genius did his magic.

For an MJ fan (moderate or super), I think you'll be down with this film. You get to see and hear MJ perform your favorite songs in new and exciting ways. Also, seeing MJ do all these little things to make performances better was one of my favorite things in this doc. MJ suggesting a pause here, and extra leg kick there, holding a note here, etc., was so on point it was insane. We get to see a master practice his craft. And, even if he was doing these concerts to pay off debts, he didn't just half-ass his way through rehearsals. He truly cared about putting on the most ridiculous show of all time. As a fan, you gotta appreciate an artist putting in the time and effort to give you the best entertainment experience possible.

For a fan of documentaries, you'd probably wish for more back-story, interviews, personal life revelations, and story arc. But, MJ was shooting this BTS footage for his own personal library allegedly, so the footage wasn't really intended for a documentary persay. However, this doc does give people a chance to see MJ in a different light than the last decade or so of his life. No tabloids, no paparazzi, no eccentric behavior. Just an all-pro working on his game.

MJ's practice clothes is pretty awesome in this doc, except for the Ed Hardy sweats he wore in a few scenes. Even MJ had his faults...

Glee...still haven't seen an episode, but have seen these youtube clips like 50,000 times now

Glee: This series got a full season pick-up I think, so viewers are digging it. I've never actually seen a full episode, but I've heard/read mixed reviews about it. Amazing. Gleeful (ha ha). Plot scenes are filler between musical numbers. Overrated. Etc. Either way, it's got a loyal following (all the 18-49 kids love it!) and will be on 'til at least next year.

Not sure if I'll watch a full episode (I've already committed to like 8 series) (maybe I can hit up the S1 DVD in the summer), but man, these Glee song covers pop up all over the web, and they're pretty darn fresh. I think I've practically seen/heard all of these clips, so I feel like I've watched the entire series already anyways. Am I right?

My fave is the Salt 'N Pepa classic Push It. Other fresh ones include Don't Stop Believing (legendary Journey), Rihanna's Take a Bow, and the dope Bon Jovi/Usher It's My Life/Confessions mash-up.

Chris Rock Making a Doc....We're In

Chris Rock documentary: He has a pretty good comedy track record (huge understatement), so this doc is probably going to be a winner. The trailer is dope.

Kelly Osbourne will win DWTS

There's way too much new television to watch, and unfortunately, I won't be able to watch DWTS full-time (in life, one must be willing to make sacrifices). However, my blind pick to win is Kelly Osbourne. Why? She's got all the tools to appeal to a wide net of voters. She's young, a survivalist (had some addiction problems), reality show star, dad is OZZY, probably has some natural dance ability (she did put out a few records awhile back), got the cool British accent, not a swimsuit model type, likeable, and she's sassy. Basically, Kelly appeals to many demographics. Hence, she gonna beat out my boy Aaron Carter (an early favorite).

Newscaster Reveals Suppressed Perversion...Film at 11.

Wow. This clip is so amazing I had to transcribe it. Probably one of my favorite web clips of 2009 and possibly a candidate for the all-Decade team. Ernie Anastos - This is what you'll be remembered for by anyone under 30...unleashing your inner perv.

Ernie: "Takes a tough man to make a tender forecast, Dick."
[1. What does this even mean? 2. Dude's name is Dick. I guess that leads Ernie's mind to his next line.]

Dick: "I guess that's me..."
[I'm sure Dick really wanted to say, "What's wrong with you, yo?"]

Ernie: [cuts off Dick] Keep f#cking that chicken.
[I don't know how Ernie makes tender chicken, but if he ever invited me over to his house for Thanksgiving dinner, I would say no. Imagine him making a tender turkey. Takes basting a turkey to a whole other level.]

Dick: [laughs] Okay, I'll do.
[Dick is probably thinking, "Wait, why did I just say "Okay, I'll do." I'm not into poultry. I'm into women."]

FEMALE NEWSCASTER'S EYES BUG OUT.
[AMAZING, AMAZING reaction by her. She's so creeped out.]

Ernie: Before we continue...
[Plays everything off as normal. I guess I agree. Who hasn't told someone once in their life, "Hey, keep f#cking that chicken.", right? It's an everyday saying, like "Good job." or "See ya later".]

The clip actually continues with the female newscaster introducing a fitness segment where she is exercising and Ernie remarks, "Hey, looking good over there." VERY PERVY something on Ernie's part.

I had to wikipedia this dude, and learned that he's actually quite a baller:
-He has won 28 Emmy Awards and nominations, and was nominated for the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence in writing.
-He served as an anchor at WABC-TV from 1978 to 1989, when he joined WCBS-TV as the 5 PM and 11 PM anchor. He worked at WCBS-TV for the first time from 1989-1994. He then joined WWOR-TV in 1997, and served as an anchor at that station until 2000, when he rejoined WCBS in January 2001. He left WCBS for the second time in 2005, after signing a $10 million dollar, 5-year contract with WNYW-TV ("Fox 5").

Dude is pretty legit on the journalism scene and is making $2 mill a year! Man. See, rich people say crazy things when on live television. That's just the way the world works.
