Title: The best sitcom you're not watching is BACK
Post by: Saint Cornelius on August 07, 2007, 01:26:14 PM: (http://m1.2mdn.net/viewad/1104546/minor_300x250_ifc.gif)

Oh, how I love this show. A lazy way to describe it would be a low-budget Entourage with two women instead of four dodes; that doesn't even begin to do it justice. Jackie Woodman (Laura Kightlinger) is the lowest woman on the totem pole in Hollywood - a writer who isn't getting much work. So her and her pal Tara (Nicholle Tom), a grunt at a production company, get drunk, do plenty of drugs, and try their hardest to blaze a trail in L.A.

It's full of filthy language, absurd situations and even a peyote-fueled dream sequence. If you're a fan of smart comedies than you owe it to yourself to pick up season 1 - at fine retailers everywhere!

And then make sure to tune into IFC every Sunday at 11:30PM to catch the second season!

:o

I can't speak for the show because I've never seen a full episode, but if it weren't for IFC, I wouldn't even watch television.

She is really fucking funny if not a little weird looking. The work she had done kinda gives her a Michael Jackson look, which is not a good one.

OH and I forgot - it's got the best theme song of ALL TELEVISION EVER. Stoner rawk, WHY YOU GOTTA GIVE ME SUCH A SOUR PUSS

Post by: Saint Cornelius on August 07, 2007, 01:57:01 PM: ....that's an interesting comparison. I wouldn't go so far to say that, but I do believe if you liked AbFab you'd like this.

Post by: TVC15 on August 07, 2007, 01:57:28 PM: I wanted to check this out when you were previously whoring it, but it wasn't on iTunes and there weren't any easily available torrents. If I weren't a poor this week I would nab the DVDs.

Post by: Saint Cornelius on August 07, 2007, 02:04:49 PM: I think you might actually like the show, TVC. It's so bitchy, it would be right up your alley!

PS I have the entire 1st season formatted into QT if you're interested...

Yes, we get it, showbiz life is tough, but that's no excuse for such minor accomplishments.
BURN!

Post by: Robo on August 07, 2007, 03:27:54 PM: It's way more chowderheaded than it is dunderheaded. That guy is clueless.

Post by: Cyanista on August 07, 2007, 03:52:33 PM: ::) What next, he busts into political satire poetry from 80 years ago? DUNDERHEADED. The fact that he wrote that word (and probably felt very smug about the whole thing) makes me want to kick his ass.
