TJ Wells - 4.17.05

[TJ Wells]

Ok, new feature to my recommendations. Since the polls thing kinda went to shit, i'm going to be attaching a poll every week.

Here's what i've been listening to this week:

Idiot Pilot (http://www.purevolume.com/idiotpilot)
From A Second Story Window (http://www.purevolume.com/fromasecondstorywindow)
I N E E D S L E E P (http://www.purevolume.com/ineedsleep)
Covering Fire (http://www.purevolume.com/coveringfire)
Scary Kids Scaring Kids (http://www.purevolume.com/scarykidsscaringkids)
The Receiving End Of Sirens (http://www.purevolume.com/thereceivingendofsirens)
Spin Perry (http://www.purevolume.com/spinperry)
Fall Out Boy (http://www.purevolume.com/falloutboy)

And see The Amityville Horror. It'll scare the shit outta you.

[Frank Giaramita]

Amityville Horror was based on a "true" story of a house that's about 10 minutes east of me (where Taking Back Sunday is from). I've seen the house and it's super creepy looking... scary shit.

[Scott Weber]

Sports Night was a freakin awesome show.

[ActorInThisPlay]

yeah amityville horror looks good but this has already been made so many times.

Sports Night was a freakin awesome show.

yes it was and it won some emmy's for it too and then was cancelled after like 2 or 3 seasons. no bueno.

[rellish91]

i watched every episode of undeclared...you shoudl put 3-south on there...mtv messed up when they cancelled that....fucking hilarious

[fluke182]

Sports Night was a freakin awesome show.
Sports Night rocked, as did Undeclared, but Freaks and Geeks for the win.

[awfmike]

Arrested development got cancelled or so i heard... id say that as "other"

[Scott Weber]

it better not have gotten cancelled..

undeclared ruled too.

[IAPAI]

Speaking of cancelled shows, Arrested Development (http://www.getarrested.com) is on the verge of being cancelled. Tonight could possibly be it's last episode ever, so I urge everyone who has nothing to do tonight at 8.30 eastern time to turn on Fox and see what an amazing show it is. I know that David Cross has a big following (especially since TJ put Mr.Show as one of the shows on his poll), and many people have Arrested Development quotes in their signatures and pictures as their avatars so help the show out, get it some ratings. Thanks.

[TJ Wells]

yeah seriously if arrested development gets cancelled then fox doesnt know what the fuck theyre doing. first futurama, then family guy, then boston public, now arrested development?!?! how does a show that wins 5 emmy's including best comedy series get cancelled and a show like summerland stay on the air?

Sports Night was a freakin awesome show.
I bought the whole series (45 episodes) on DVD for like $29.99 at Best Buy

[poppa Q]

i watched every episode of undeclared...you shoudl put 3-south on there...mtv messed up when they cancelled that....fucking hilarious

3 south is pretty much the greatest show ever.

[Scott Weber]

because not enough people watch arrested development.

[finchfan313]

because not enough people watch arrested development.
because not enough people like intelligent comedy.

[Scott Weber]

because not enough people like intelligent comedy.
seriously.

[romantic rights]

idiot pilot, amazing band

[MusicWhore]

How could you leave off Family Guy on the cancelled shows? The only plausible explanation would be that it is coming back on the air so you felt that it wasn't "technically" cancelled...what's the story?

[bnrocks]

mr. show....easily.

and the true story amityville horror story is that there was a murder in the house....the next family moved in and made up all this shit about it being haunted to make money, which they did. family's have lived in the house since and theres nothing wrong with it.

[scorcho490]

Idiot Pilot is quite possible the worst band I have ever seen live in my life. The two guys were insulting the crowd because no one was really into it. The singer was like a terrible wannabe-Bono and just wailed the whole night and hurt my ears. The guy who played guitar and pressed play on the laptop was like, "What's the matter, you guys can't handle a little laptop in your music?" And then the singer got in a fight with some drunk guy at the bar and was like, "hey *** do you want to come give me a kiss, you know you do." Basically this band is complete garbage.

such a tough choice. i loved undeclared, and it was especially cool for me since it started pretty much the week i started college. i still can't fathom that they had will ferrell and adam sandler as guest stars, and stil got cancelled. but i had to go with home movies, my favorite adult swim show ever. if arrested development gets cancelled though, consider that my new choice. seriously people, WATCH THIS SHOW. it's the best thing to come to tv since seinfeld and the simpsons started 15 years ago. scrubs is great too, but that one's safe for now.

don't forget that seinfeld was dangerously close to being cancelled and was even pulled and shown in the summer b4 becoming known as the greatest sitcom of all time

[AcclaimedPunk]

family guy was cancelled but because the dvd was so popular they are bringing it back, which is awesome. the same thing easily happen to arrested development if it was actually cancelled.

[TJ Wells]

yeah but it was MUCH easier to bring back family guy cause there were no sets that they had to rebuild and the cast only really consists of seth mcfarlane, seth green, alex borstein and mila kunis

[cheeruptheEmo]

3 south is pretty much the greatest show ever.

yes

[I am all talk]

what the hell why arent more people voting for thats my bush???

[Scott Weber]

I want to go!!!!

[finchfan313]

after that episode tonight...arrested better not get cancelled. That might've been the best episode of season 2. wow.

i forgot to tape it! shit! i hope it comes out on DVD soon...the first season came out soon after the first season

i forgot to tape it! shit! i hope it comes out on DVD soon...the first season came out soon after the first season
four months after to be exact

[finchfan313]

that sucks. it was pretty awesome. i hope it comes out on DVD soon too. i really don't understand how a show that good could possibly get cancelled. there were so many good jokes tonight. i hope you get to see it sometime soon.

[Gleebo]

Expect the DVD on or around the 18th of October...possibly earlier if it does get renewed and possibly much later if its cancelled. Emmy nominations will surely make a push for a quicker release as well. But no matter what dont expect it before the calendar turns to September.

Im so glad to see so many fans of the show here. Its like that most places on the net, yet the ratings dont translate that way. Sample size random participant surveys are so flawed its not even funny, yet those Nielsen ratings are gonna be the biggest determining factor in the show's future.

I do hope you guys help out in supporting the show....there are ways how to on both www.saveourbluths.com and www.getarrested.com. While you are at it buy a copy of season 1 on DVD. Or several to give to friends...as with Family Guy DVD sells will benefit the shows uncertain future.

[Patt364]

I voted undeclared with clerks the cartoon close second. Undergrads is number one in my book though, anybody like that show?

[I am all talk]

because it wasn't funny?

you'd be surprised how funny that show can be if you stop worshiping Dubba.

[apoemtothedead]

I'm sorry, but Family Guy cannot possibly handle the greatness of Arrested Development, I know you aren't saying that, but people, download one episode of AD and realize the greatness. Buy the DVD, sign up on those sites, do everything you can. I mean you really think the guys that chose to cancel brilliance like Undeclared would stop for something as genius as Arrested Development? COME ON!

[bleed me bleu]

home movies owned every show made, and i knew of numerous people who watched it, 0 reason to execute it

anyone see that episode of undeclared where they get like ALL the girls gone wild and the one main guy (from million dollar baby) keeps wanting to watch it but his girlfriend is sad or something so he cant? that was hilarious...also, undelcared complete series on DVD late july/early august

[niveK]

Fox kills anything great. Andy Richter Controls the Universe was one of the funniest shows I have ever watched until Arrested Development aired. Now Andy Richter is on one of the worst sitcoms I have ever seen. ARCTU needs a dvd release. Fox also killed the Tick before it ever had a chance, but fox has been doing that kind of shit for years. Action, Undeclared, Cracking up, Greg the Bunny. Fox liked to take a show with a decent following, put it up against friends and say "if it cant get better rating going up aginst the most watched show on tv, were not going to renew it" anyone remember Get a Life? That show was way ahead of its time and was killing off a main character in every episode was before South Park did it. In the future Fox will probably get more brilliant shows just to cancel them so they have air time for The Simple Life 15: Crack Whores, My Big Fat Obnoxious Garbage Man, and The Worlds Most Unnecessary Sugery Videos.
