Happy New Year!

Not an actual depiction of my New Year's Eve.





















Archer wins in my list of best shows I've watched in 2011. 

  1. Archer. It's Arrested Development meets James Bond.  Season 3 starts soon. Watch it.  Malory Archer is played by Jessica Walter who plays Lucille in Arrested Development.  Another AD import is Judy Greer who plays Cheryl Tunt.  She played the boob job secretary in AD.  All the characters in this show are fantastic.  The writing is superb and the dialogue is quick.
  2. Breaking Bad.  Very Coenesque (Joel and Ethan Coen).  Season 5 starts sometime in 2012.  This is by far the best drama I have ever seen.  The attention to detail is phenomenal.  Each episode is an action packed cliff hanger, with real consequences to the next episode.  Each scene is meticulously crafted down to the symbolism of the colours the actors wear.  Highly addictive, you will be hooked by the first episode.
  3. The Walking Dead.  It's got zombies, how cool is that.
  4. Sons of Anarchy.  It's got Harleys, how cool is that.
  5. Bob's Burgers.  The main actor is voiced by H. Jon Benjamin, the voice behind Archer, code name Duchess.  The dude could read the phone book and still make it sound funny.  This show is very crude, but worth watching.  Try to catch the special of the day.  Plus it has Kristen Schaal who is stalking me.
  6. Californication. Lots of naked breasteses.  It's about an author, cool.  It's in LA, ok. He gets laid all the time by everyting from college coeds to hot milfs, cool.  But he's in a long-term relationship, not cool.  And he accidentally fucks the daughter of his girlfriend's fiancee (it's complicated), not cool.  Lots of beautiful women of course, plus his sidekick Charlie Runkle is fun, if not painful to watch.  Also, Marcy Runkle, played by the adorable Pamela Adlon, who, and this blew my mind, plays the voice of Bobby Hill.
