So excited for Arrested Development S4 I could do a dance:

Talking Funny: Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais & Louis CK

Comedy's biggest names — Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and Louis CK — sit down for a revealing chat on this HBO special. They discuss comedy, how they first got into the business, the merits of on-stage profanity and the science behind getting a laugh.

This is part 1 of 4. Click through to YouTube to see the rest.

The Cosby Sweater Project

This site instantly put a smile on my face. I grew up thinking my father was the Eastern Euopean version of Bill Cosby. And the show overall had a way of making me feel the future would be good.

The Midnight Special 70s Music Infomercial

While trapped in a hotel in Chicago earlier this week due to a cancelled Porter flight – I came across this infomercial for The Midnight Special. I am soooooo ordering this.

Portlandia delivers laughs

 

Going through withdrawl

Do you watch this show too? It's quirky and charming and I love Ken Jeong in it.

Interesting factoid about Jeong – he's a fully licensed MD

Fav New British Show: The Trip

Burned through all of the episodes so quickly that I'm already going through withdrawl!

Celebrating 25 years of Fashion Television tonight!

If you had asked the average person on the street 25 years ago about fashion, they may have been able to ramble off a few classic names like Coco, Valentino, Yves. But it wasn't until Jeanne brought the likes of Armani, Marc and Karl into our livingrooms every Sunday at 6:30pm on CityTV, that the public embraced these figures as artists and celebrities in their own right and ultimately, runway presentations, as a form of entertainment. By taking us backstage and into the ateliers of designers, she celebrated and demystified an industry and culture that previously was only accessible to the people working within it and the wealthy elite buying it. All of a sudden, in 1985, people like yours truly, at the tender age of 10, were discussing the merits of Calvin's minimalism and Lacroix's opulence at the dinner table with the whole family – – and I haven't stopped since! ;)

Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the show's 25th anniversary party.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage

As someone that shops daily at Kensington Market and only buys fresh, never frozen, local organic meat from Sanigan's Meat Locker, my neighborhood butcher – I'm was excited to be introduced to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage by my darling MB - who is one of the most sincere and conscientious foodies I know. We've started watching from the beginning of the series, which aired back 1999 and are working our way to the present. So far, I am addicted! Hugh started living in the original River Cottage in rural Dorset in 1998, determined to start growing and rearing some of his own food. Today his efforts have expanded and are as strong as ever. If you're a fan of what Jamie Oliver is trying to accomplish with Food Revolution, this is right up your alley.

Mint and pink with a hit of silver or gold = happiness.

Mad Men Season 3 Kicks Off

Last night marked the return of the one of the very few TV shows I actually watch with any sort of regularity – Mad Men. After several months of waiting to see where the gang at Sterling-Cooper had landed, I can say I was satisfied with the episode overall. Sal, the closeted, token gay character finally gets a taste, or rather massive tease, of the life he's been missing, Don catches him in the act (almost) and thankfully says nothing of it, Pete Campbell throws another fit and Betty suffers through her third pregnancy.
