Sloths Slowly Invading Your TV

One so-slow-you-don't-notice-it-moving show at a time. Animal Planet is airing an eight-part series called, for reasons unknown, Meet the Sloths starting Nov. 9th. I guess because the Animal Planet execs think of their parents as sloths? I don't know.

Better titles:
- Slothing Out
- One Toed, Two Toed, Three Toed, Blue Fish
- Sloth's (Every) Day In
- Sloth Against the Machine
- A Tisket a Sloth in a Basket Sounds Really Cute
- Sloth in Slotherderland
- Too Cute: Sleepy Sloth Edition
- Slothing Beauty

Just saying.

PSA: Stay Away from White People on Halloween

I have to be honest: I am part of the problem. I witnessed a pumpkin carving last week and did nothing to stop it. In my defense, though, I never watch scary movies. If I want to be scared out of my mind, all I have to do is go to sleep on a plane. Don't ask. Also, check out the end part where they preview clips from other sketches - seems like All Def Digital is a pretty funny group!

Aziz Ansari: Let's Treat Each Other Like Black People Treat Magicians

It's a pretty weird idea, but it just might work...



Now I really want to go see a magic show at the Apollo, because I was not aware of this stereotype and would like to see it in action (if it is truly the case). Anyone in?

'Murder, She Wrote' Starring Octavia Spencer? Yes, please!

I really hope this 'Murder, She Wrote' pilot gets a series order.

A) I love Octavia Spencer starring in anything.
B) I love procedurals with a lighthearted, drama's-version-of-comedic bent (i.e. Bones and Castle)
C) I love both together!

Plus, NBC doesn't have any fun procedurals. I should know because I watch one from every network except for NBC (Elementary is my CBS one. I definitely don't get what everyone sees in CSI: Anything or NCIS).

Octavia, do you need any up-and-coming writers for your new show? I can write jokes and also character arcs!!

New 'Catching Fire' IMAX Poster

Love this poster for Catching Fire out in a couple of weeks. It reminds me of the old '80s movies posters, like for The Neverending Story or The Labyrinth. Very cool!

Simpsons' "Hobbit" Couch Gag

Very soothing, peaceful couch gag this week on 'The Simpsons'



Correct me if I'm wrong, Tolkeinites, but I thought the part with the ghost warriors was in LOTR, not The Hobbit. Other than that, I thought it was very sweet, if not crazy funny (and it doesn't always have to be, sometimes it's nice just to see the journey and homage). Solid music. Favorite joke was "Part 1 of 6"
