I recommend the comedy show Community, set in the perfect setting of a community college.

It features excellent comedy material in a well-delivered package.

Check it out.

Nerrot

If you’re using torrents, then Nerrot is an application worth knowing.

The dead-simple interface allows you to input the media you seek. Nerrot decides which torrent is the best match, and starts downloading the torrent file automatically.

Your uTorrent client then takes over, and the media of your desires is on it’s way.

Of course, there’s plenty of situations where you need to analyse the availability of different torrents, but for the latest episode of your weekly show it’s pretty slick.

TV Tropes

If you’re into tv series, as am I, you just might have some fun with TVTropes.

“Tropes are storytelling devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members’ minds and expectations.”

Some examples:

The Rule of Cool: The limit of the Willing Suspension Of Disbelief for a given element is directly proportional to its degree of coolness.”

“When a character is permanently written out of a show, especially killed off, in a way that is particularly awkward, anti-climactic, mean-spirited or dictated by producer’s fiat, they Dropped A Bridge On Him.”

30 Rock

For some reason I waited a while before checking out 30 Rock, but I’m all in. It’s the first sit-com I’ve liked in a long time.

The jokes are close to perfectly written and skillfully delivered, high pace. The comedic aptitude of Alec Baldwin surprised me especially.

Having pretty much forgotten it was possible to make a funny sit-com, I give it 9 out of 10.

I recommend the new show Sons of Anarchy. Created by the writer behind the great show The Shield, It follows a group of outlaw bikers, in much the same way as we followed Vic’s crew in The Shield. The first season is in the box, second one is being produced. I give it 8 out of 10.

It just occured to me that I never plugged The Totally Rad Show - probably the best weekly video podcast on the net. Period. Check it out.

Lost Season 5 Premiere

Here’s an old but creative trailer from UK Channel 4, to announce the premiere of the new season 5 of the more than slightly dramaturgically sadistic show Lost.

Below is the result of the youtube creative machine. I like this one better.

I just finished watching the complete five seasons of Six Feet Under, after several recommendations along the years. I’m glad I got around to watch it. I think it’s an amazing little piece of drama/comedy, and I whole-heartedly recommend it. I actually miss the Fisher’s right now…

If you haven’t met Dexter yet, give it a show. In my opinion it’s TV perfected.
