no. not that kind of tv party, with plus-sized heels and twice-shaven necks.
i'm talking about the Telley, and some shows that I think are worth mentioning that can help a step or two during the long march across the void.
Walking Dead--supergreat if you're into horror/people in extreme circumstances kind of entertainment. Also if your geek arrow points true north there is an ongoing series of...ahem...graphic novels available (with a totally different plot line so don't worry about spoilers) if the word comic book is as anathema to you as the word zombie. Creepily, this show has a similar emotional tone as being an astros fan in late 2011 waiting for the rough love child of mclanecraneselig to be born.
Raising Hope--funniest, sweetest, kindest show whose title character's mother is an executed serial killer. Stars Garrett Dillahunt who played two murderous characters brilliantly in Deadwood, Martha Plimpton (of the Carradine clan), and Cloris Leachman (cue horse whinny's mix of fear/lust) do not disappoint. Disturbing enough that I'll watch it, charming enough that the wife isn't pissed that I let the kids see it.
Luther--Remember that awesome actor who played Stringer Bell in the Wire? We'll the dude is British and is playing the best disturbed emotionally intense detective ever. normally i hate most things that come out of the BBC (young ones, python excepted) but this is awesome. forgive the brits for that nasty stamp act business and royal marriages and watch this show.
Always sunny in Philadelphia-- kinda like seinfeld/cheers mashup but without the judeo/catholic morality of ny/boston. pure amoral degeneracy served up hot with peppers and onions slathered with whiz philly style. Would love to watch an episode with pence and oswalt to find out if this matches up with their philly experience.
Sons of Anarchy--the hamletyness of the show makes it uneven but some stand alone episodes and moments are very fun. stephen king's appearance in one of the episodes is fantastic. Henry Rollins is good too as a regular character in the second season. the character Tig alone is worth the price of admission.
any other shows that you (both as individuals and as a group) recommend now that the dual voids of baseball and project runway are here? (Mondo was robbed!!!!)
