07.15.09 WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: ‘MICHAEL & MICHAEL’ DEBUT

black-showalter

Michael and Michael Have Issues (Comedy Central) — As I wrote before this site went public, I am massively excited about this Black/Showalter collaboration.  If it’s not funny, I will eat my hat.  Or at the very least, I shall eat a bowl of macaroni and cheese that symbolizes a hat.  Watch it or we can’t be friends. (Read more: the M&MHI blog; their interview with the Onion’s A.V. Club; this glowing review from the Boston Globe.)

Dark Blue (TNT) — Dylan McDermott stars in the series premiere of this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced police drama about super-secret way-undercover cops.  Too bad, I read the name of the show and was hoping it was about sharks.

Leverage (TNT) — Timothy Hutton’s back as the lead for Season 2 (I think it’s Season 2 — I didn’t feel like double-checking) of this series about con artists who target evil corporate bigwig types.  Thanks, guys.  Way to not stop the economy from collapsing.

The Philanthropist (NBC) — Are you watching this?  Stop it.  The only people who like this show are Madonna, Bono, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

America Has Talent (NBC) — It’s slightly more high-brow than “America Done Got Talent.”

Extreme Loggers: Ice Loggers (Discovery) — Season 2 premiere.  From Yahoo TV: “After an ice bridge is built, the race is on to haul valuable timber to the mill, but warming temperatures and equipment failures threaten to shut down operations.”  Oh no!  I sure hope their efforts to cut down arctic forests are successful! **commutes 90 miles in SUV**

So did they send the third member of Stella home?

Michael Ian Black is a completely unfunny douche bag. He couldn’t even make me laugh on accident.

Well, I’m watching Michael and Michael have issues right now. And it has issues. Major fucking issues. Earlier today I caught these guys on Fresh Air with Terry Gross. I didn’t laugh. I’m not laughing now. Stella was so funny they canceled it. Hard.

Mr. F says:

Michael and Michael was bad and I’m worried there’s not much hope of it getting better. I do like that Comedy Central is taking the money they were going to throw at Dave Chappelle and experimenting with some different stuff. Still, it’s kind of ridiculous this gets greenlit and Daniel Tosh gets stuck with a freaking viral video clip show (guess what G4/Comedy Central/MTV? We don’t need f***ing TV to watch internet videos!)

Michael and Michael should be pulled and immediately replaced with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. With swearing, of course.

Meanwhile I’ll be waiting patiently for the next season of Demetri Martin’s show.

Michael and Michael was horrible. I hope to never see it again.

It was disappointing relative to how much I built it up, but I wouldn’t call it “horrible.” I still laughed several times.

Know what’s cool? I commented using a word that was unveiled on last night’s show, only to find it was summarily deleted by the next morning. Way to endorse a show you can’t discuss aspects of.

This site gets dropped. I’m back to checking wwtdd, withleather, and filmdrunk. And if you’re doing withleather on weekends, no withleather on weekends.

Just a note about the philanthropist since you love Wire Alum updates: I believe that Omar (Michael K Little) is on the show. Now, if they could have it where Omar went parading around the Third World with a sawed off, THAT would be some quality TV

Grits says:

Dude, c’mon. The entire Greg the intern skit was horrible. The texts between M & M actually made me smile for a second, but it was quickly ruined by them running into the yard and pulling of their shirts and doing whatever it was they were doing.

The Mother F-N-C Word Nazi Unicorn was the only thing worthwhile they did all night.

Unless you apologize to essequemodeltecate, Matt, I am leaving too.
