Lowell, Massachusetts.
It is a living tragedy.

My sister watches this show called "Victorious" on Nick and all the kids go to a performing arts high school in LA and it looks like a porn.

"the first season of Portlandia never sunk to the level of rote hipster-bashing to win laughs"
Even if it's first season wasn't as strong as I had hoped, it didn't fall into terrible cliches about hipsters and that's worth praise.

It's not that America is bored,
they're still trying to figure out who The Suburbs are. It's that the internet is run by nerds.

Nobody can top Sam The Butcher.

I saw the promo for Shedding for the Wedding.
One of the couples want to have a Final Fantasy themed wedding.

I really liked it. Even though I've heard a lot of criticism that they're veering from the "Sex and Drugs" motif of gens past, I think it's good they're focusing on the social dynamics of kids instead of the shock and awe of hedonism (besides, they did that already).

It is, but I'm worried about how Maxxie's absence effects his character. Their friendship was one of the more interesting things about the UK version. Like, when he shows disappointment over none of the lesbians at Tea's party acting like "real lesbians". That was gross.

I'm glad you pointed out that the show feels slow.
I've only seen the pilot so far (no cable), but it did feel tiresome compared to the original.

It explains the increased sale of "Bumpits"

I turned 18 in July of '07, so most of this is fresh in my mind. Regrettably.

So we've hit the part of the series where I distinctly remember all these songs.
Man, "Girlfriend" was terrible.

One of the biggest things I'm interested in
is if they can make American Effy not terrible.

If women enjoy and connect with it on any level, then it obviously sucks obviously.

I think she was in Juno with Jesse Eisenberg.

The jury's still out on how she was able to get a sitcom on NBC.

The Grammys are only mildly irritating
because honestly, nobody cares about The Grammys.

One of the girls on the new Bachelor is a vampire apparently?
Uncomfortable blowjobs in that man's future.

Dudebro-rock in it's purest and most unabashed form.

The only thing I distinctly remember about Lady Sovereign is that she was featured on Cartoon Network.
