New Sitcom Features David Cross & Will Arnett (some good news & some bad news about it)

in connect, favorites, humor, pop culture by faryl on December 3rd, 2009No Comments

The good news:
Will Arnett and David Cross are back on TV in a new sitcom!

The bad news*:
The new show only airs in the UK.

*unless you live in the UK

Based on this three minute clip of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, my thoughts:

  • It’s funny.
  • People swear a lot on TV in the UK (or at least American characters do).
  • It’s been too long since Will Arnett and David Cross have been featured in a sitcom.
  • Hopefully the show will make its way to iTunes (and soon!).
  • I forgot to mention that Spike Jonze is part of the cast too.
  • I am shallow enough to consider (if only for a fleeting moment) moving to the UK solely to be able to watch a television show.

Here’s the clip:

This post goes out to all the Neil Young/Fresh Prince fans out there.

Well – Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young, that is.  But it’s a cool cover nonetheless! And maybe one day?

I was trying to think of a blog post topic that would give me a good excuse to share this photo of little Jazz (my nephew).

It occurred to me that whenever I find something that puts a smile on my face, I like to include it here, so I can share the smile with you.

Well, looking at this picture, I can’t help but smile ear-to-ear. I hope it puts a grin on your face too!

(I think that’s as good enough of an excuse for a blog post as any – don’t you?)

Happy belated Halloween!  May the force be with you!!

How did you get here?

Included with my daily WordPress blog stats is a list of terms people used to find my blog.  

If I was more focused on SEO, my fascination with these terms might have a more strategic focus.  Instead, I love looking to see the random ways people happen upon my corner of the world wide web.

Looking at the terms, I can usually tell which of my posts the person ended up visiting.  Many times, the connection is so abstract, I can’t help but wonder what their reaction is when they find themselves here.

Granted, I’m sure there’s a lesson in this for me on how to better tag my posts and leverage key words for more accurate search results.  But for now, I’m looking at the terms solely for purposes of my own amusement.  

I’ve decided to use this post to capture some of my favorites. read more
