STAR TREK!! SIMPSONS MOVIE!! ENTOURAGE!! HercVault!!

Published at:  Oct 04, 2007 3:30:56 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!


The Sarah Silverman Program is for my money the funniest live-action sitcom in production.

When this fast-moving comedy connects with a gag – which is shockingly often – it connects deftly and with might. It may have been years since I laughed aloud as much at a TV show.

“Program” is agreeably odd, similar in premise to “Seinfeld,” perhaps, but far closer in its profane anarchistic sensibility to “South Park.”

Sarah Silverman plays “Sarah Silverman,” an absurdly selfish and cheerfully jobless narcissist who lives with her waitress sister (“Comeback” co-star Laura Silverman) next door to a pair of mountainous homosexuals (mammothly entertaining heterosexuals Brian Posehn and Steve Agee).

In the first episode Silverman gets hammered on flavorful nighttime cold medicine and drives into a crowded schoolyard. We get to glimpse her slim and alluring bare hinder as she takes a musical pee.

The second episode is even funnier, with Silverman lending shelter to a grateful, if dangerously disturbed, homeless man (Zach Galifianakis). A hideous “American Werewolf”-style ghost and a queefing malady manifest elements both pivotal and engaging.

All six first-season episodes were written by Silverman in collaboration with Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab, the guys who wrote “Monster House” for the big screen. “Monster House” was funny stuff, but it was also PG; “Silverman” earns its TV-MA.

The show also boasts surprisingly high production values, with musical numbers, animated sequences and elaborate special effects in the mix. Schrab, who directed most of the episodes, demonstrates extraordinary care with the material, missing no opportunity to maximize the mirth with expertly framed visuals and superb pacing.

I tell you, “The Sarah Silverman Program” is hilarious and it is art. But why take my word for it?

Time Magazine said:

… I love it … it's got your poo humor. It's got your pushing-PC-boundaries humor. If you don't like that, you're not going to like this show (which is essentially an expansion of the staged bits from Jesus Is Magic). You may not have liked South Park or Borat either …


Entertainment Weekly gave it an “A-minus” and said:

… more or less just a miniaturized version of her 2005 movie Jesus Is Magic — featuring wan plots that serve as carriers for savage cultural observations, tiresome musical numbers, random sketches, and smart-bomb one-liners. (The first episode, for example, concerns a quest for batteries.) But where her movie overstayed its welcome, the quick-shot format of TV works beautifully. The result is haphazard, amoral, ridiculous, wildly offensive...and, you know, totally hilarious. …


The New Yorker said:

… the meanest sitcom in years — and one of the funniest … The brilliance of the show — the force of its argument that sitcoms turn us into loserish loners — is also its abiding flaw. We admire the purity of Silverman’s scornfulness, but we don’t want to hang out with her the way we did with Mary and Rhoda. Not that she’d let us get that close anyway. …


The San Franciso Chronicle said:

… It's not very often that a TV show bursting with imagination, audacity, rude charm and a relentlessly funny worldview gets on the air, much less appears fully formed. But Sarah Silverman … has delivered an offbeat gem … a brilliantly realized reinvigoration of the sitcom as only Silverman could dream it. …


The Hollywood Reporter said:

… Silverman's insensitive slacker character and her supporting cast milk big laughs out of mundane situations. … All series need time to discover their strengths and weaknesses, and this is no exception. But the show starts with a foundation of solid character comedy, which bodes well for the future.


Variety said:

… may be the brightest addition to Comedy Central's primetime roster since "South Park." … if the program itself isn't complete magic, then, excluding Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, it's certainly as close as Comedy Central has come to it in a good long time. …





Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Complete Series arrives today with all seven seasons going for $43.57 per season. Sold separatedly the same seasons go for north of $52.

Last week’s Entertainment Weekly picked the ten best episodes, namely:

10) “Chain of Command.” (6.10 / 6.11) While substitute Capt. Jellico annoys the crew of the Enterprise (he actually make Troi put on a real Starfleet uniform, which became her normal duds for the balance of the series’ run), David Warner in Cardassian makeup uses a brain implant to torture Picard to madness. Story credited to Frank Abatemarco; teleplay credited to Ronald D. Moore.

9) “The First Duty.” (5.19) Picard undertakes an investigation into a Starfleet Academy training accident that involved Wesley Crusher and left another cadet dead. Robert Duncan McNeill played a duplicitous cadet, Locarno, who became the model for Tom Paris, the character McNeill later played on “Voyager.” Teleplay credited to Naren Shankar and Ronald D. Moore.

8) “First Contart.” (4.15) Riker, undercover on a pre-warp-drive planet whose residents have no clue that there are other populated planets, is discovered to be an alien, forcing Picard to tell top government officials that they are not alone. Story credited to Marc Scott Zicree; teleplay credited to Dennis Russell Bailey, David Bischoff, Joe Menosky, Ronald D. Moore and Michael Piller.

7) “Sins of the Father.” (3.17) On the Klingon homeworld, Worf risks death in a bid to restore his dead father’s honor. Teleplay credited to W. Reed Moran and Ronald D. Moore.

6) “The Measure of a Man.” (2.9) When a Starfleet commander decides that Data is Starfleet property that should be torn apart and examined, Picard enters the courtroom to defend the android’s right to refuse. Teleplay credited to Melinda M. Snodgrass.

5) “All Good Things … ” (7.25) The series finale saw Picard skipping through three eras: seven years into the past (and the series’ first episode), the present, and a quarter century into the future. Teleplay credited to Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore.

4) “Tapestry.” (6.15) When Picard takes a deadly wound to the chest, Q shows him what his life would have been like if he had pursued a less risky life course. (A rare opportunity to see Patrick Stewart get frisky with an actress young enough to be his granddaughter.) Teleplay credited to Ronald D. Moore.

3) “The Inner Light.” (5.25) An probe forces Picard to live out a married flautist’s lifetime in the space of an hour. Story credited to Morgan Gendel; teleplay credited to Gendel and Peter Allan Fields.

2) “The Best of Both Worlds.” (3.26 / 4.1) The Borg turn Picard into Locutus. I saw the second half of this with an audience at the Museum of Broadcasting and I’ll never forget the huge laugh Worf got when he groused that the Borg have neither courage nor honor. Teleplay credited to Michael Piller.

1) “Yesterday’s Enterprise.” (3.15) A 22-year-old rift in time creates an alternate universe in which Tasha Yar was never killed and the Federation is fighting a losing battle against the Klingon empire. Teleplay credited to Richard Manning, Hans Beimler, Ira Steven Behr and Ronald D. Moore.

The same issue has an interesting piece by Adam B. Vary about the show’s origins. Learn:

* “Aliens” was one of the films Gene Roddenberry screened before going into production on the new series, and Jeanette Goldstein was considered to play a Latina Tasha Yar. Marina Sirtis read for Tasha.

* Troi was originally thought to be a cool, Spock-like “Icelandic blonde.”

* An early idea was to give Troi three breasts. (Recall that in Roddenberry’s failed pilot “Genesis II,” at least some of the future-girls had two navels.)

* Eric Menyuk, who went on to play Wesley’s pal The Traveler, was the producers’ second choice to play Data after Brent Spiner.

* Stephen Macht (“Cagney & Lacey”) was a leading candidate to play Picard.

* Producer Bob Justman discovered Patrick Stewart via a UCLA extension class he had enrolled in.

* Roddenberry was originally dead set against casting Stewart as captain. He wasn’t feeling the whole bald, fortysomething Englishman thing. It was Rick Berman who pushed for Stewart, and Roddenberry relented only weeks before production began.

* Some thought was given to putting Stewart in a wig.

* Q was not in the original pilot script. He was only added when Paramount execs, at the last minute, decided they wanted a two-hour first episode instead of a 90-minute one.

I’ve had huge issues with Jericho (yes, even with the final few episodes), but I watched every installment and I’m sure I’ll be back when the series resumes at midseason. But any enthusiasm I have for the series pales next to that of my friend and fellow editor Merrick over on the movie side of Ain’t It Cool. Here’s what he wrote about “Jericho” shortly after its “cancellation”:



I love this show. I really love it. I don’t/won’t say that about many TV shows. Even GALACTICA, which I follow religiously, I can only claim to “like a lot”.

JERICHO was one of the smartest, most compelling shows on television. It took a while to find its rhythm…but when it did…it did it in a big way.

In a macro sense, JERICHO considers what happens when a cross section of Americans are forced to completely redefine their value system, and reassess their perceptions of what’s important in life. Who do we choose to hate, and to what end? Who do we allow ourselves to love? How large a price do we exact for forgiveness? And, at what point does hope of forgiveness turn into thirst for primal revenge. How do we rediscover ourselves when the material attainment which has patterned our lives is suddenly rendered irrelevant? What do we stand for, and why? What is the cost of cowardice and selfishness? The list goes on.

What brings our characters to such a lofty cross roads?

A series of nuclear attacks on 23 multiple American cities, apparently organized & perpetrated by a faction within Homeland Security (using atomic material bagged during the fragmenting of the Soviet Union). America is not destroyed by these attacks – but over 30 million people are instantly killed. The rest of the country sees America’s functionality grind to a halt. Squabbling over the Presidential right of succession ensues as surviving politicians vie for their piece of the pie. At one point, America is divided into six regions...each claiming to be the seat of legitimate government...each amassing regional militaries (National Guard units, and so forth). Insinuations of possible Civil War abound.

In the midst of this upheaval lies a small Kansas town called Jericho. Why’s it so important? Several reason: Jericho’s location is unique – it was beyond the reach of fallout patterns; its farmland remained relatively uncontaminated. It has a massive salt mine, an untainted water supply, and barely enough resources to support its townspeople (some episodes of the series are almost like a SIMS game…dealing with how many people can be fed, how many refugees can be housed, and the ramifications of turning away the waves of displaced wanderers who the town can not afford to feed or house).

And, based on all these desirable factors, Jericho is also a rallying point for the CIA personnel who’ve spent four frustrating years trying to thwart the atomic bomb plot – unaware that the conspiracy to bring down our country was actually orchestrated by the same people who determined their deployment in the field.

One of these agents finds his way to Jericho...with an atomic bomb in his possession; he had infiltrated the conspirators and was supposed to blow up a city. He bailed on ‘em and ran away with their bomb. He’s stashed it, underground, in a rickety shack. And the conspirators (bad ass assassins) are hot on his trail, looking for their nuke.

Ultimately, the world comes to Jericho. Neighboring cities adapt factories & builds mortars to shell Jericho…in an effort to bring the town to its knees so farmland & resources can be taken over. Some form of government, under an oddly configured American(ish) flag, comes to Jericho looking for the missing atomic bomb. Simplicity…becomes a hot spot. Armed via a high-tech stockpile assembled by the increasingly rogue CIA agent, peaceful Jericho is forced to gear up for war.

Despite such grand concepts, Jericho is ultimately driven by very touching, very rudimentary truths. It’s about dedication, love, strength of family, and the danger of divisiveness. Despite its frequent nihilism, the show sends one of the most positive messages on TV right now.



Less positive messages can be found within Entourage Season Three Vol. 2. These were the episodes with Vince’s superhot new agent (Carla Gugino) trying to get him to make an Edith Wharton movie, Ari having trouble firing the guy with eye surgery and getting jealous of his frat brother (Artie Lange), Pauly Shore punking Drama, Ari trying to close the “Medellin” deal on Yom Kippur, Drama’s racehorse, Turtle’s black girlfriend, the “Five Towns” reviews, Vince boning the investor’s wife and Drama’s condo woes.

    by moondoggy2u

    I mean, come on, The First Duty? No way on G-d's green earth should a wess-centric episode be in the top ten list.The real ten best (in no particular order) are:Best of Both worlds--'natch.All Good thingsDarmok (METAPHORS!)Brothers (Spiner plays three rolls in a VERY believable fashion)The Inner LightChain of Command ("How many lights do you see?" became an instant catchphrase in my household)Tapestry (is there a john luck pickerd here?)Cause and effect (fantastic episode--talk about a last minute save, huh? Go Data!)Night Terrors (a very intriguing and spooky episode for all you fellow insomniacs out there!)Yesterday's EnterpriseAnd last but not least, Measure of a man. There, a much better list. I still think Measure of a man is probably the weakest of that list and could probably be interchanged with Family, Deja Q, Sarek, or The Offspring. Personally, I'd pick Sarek, but I think most people prefer Measure of a Man in that list. Se la vie...

    Sarah is going to sniff Richard Christy's balls

    by kentucky colonel

    She says she's oddly drawn to the tought of the smell of his balls, like sour milk or bleu cheese dressing.

    So subtract one point.

    And as much as the thought of a "Wesley-centric" TNG episode appeals to one like the smell of Richard Christy's balls, Ray Walston as the SFA groundskeeper was a home run. And Wesley wasn't a total pussy, either (for once).

    Still wish "Wesley" had been "Leslie"...played by Ashley Judd. Those episodes with her in the spandex uniform...totally spankable!

    What is with shows having box sets before they are off the air? I mean, Family Guy? I own VOLUMES 1-3, NOT SEASONS. Now there is another thing that sucks. Is Family Guy going to stop putting half the seasons on DVD's and just give us the whole damn season? I mean other shows have figured this out. It can't be that hard. What is the strategy behind this?

    Anyway, I'm kinda pissed how if I waited I could of gotten some kick ass gear with it, but now I am out of luck. (Kick ass if ping pong paddles, net, poker chips, and a deck of cards is your thing)

    About Sarah Silverman. She is plain awful, that is all. How did she get famous? Almost like, how did Jimmy Kimmel get famous?

    What is with TV Box Sets to begin with? I mean, other then comedy shows that I know I will laugh at continually, do I really need ALL 24 episode of 24? Am I really going to spend 24 hours of my life more then once to watch one show? No, never. I loved Jericho, but do I really want to experience all the episodes over again? Not in the slightest. I would rather buy 2 hour movies where I can watch more then once, than an entire season of something that I might watch once. MIGHT.

    Sarah Silverman is ruined. She's been Kimmelled!

    I used to desire her. But one cannot become unKimmelled.

    Sarah Silverman is great...

    by voodoov

    but only in small doses. She's funny, she just gets annoying quick.

    We want Complete seasons of The Real Ghostbusters

    Well, at least I do. I would even settle for a boxed set with "The best of..." (as opposed to those very random, and very crappy, single disc compilations issued last year). Lesser cartoons from the 80's have received much better DVD treatment.
