So, how's your bracket look? I did pretty well for the first day, only missing the Clemson/Michigan and Texas/Minnesota games, but I didn't have either of my wrong picks moving past the next round anyhow. So, I'm still sitting pretty. Two of my Final Four teams (Villanova and Washington) gave me a bit of a scare yesterday, though.
I thought I might write about Grand Theft Auto(s) today, but I think I'll wait until Monday since I still have individual conferences today, which are detrimental to my concentration (but still fun).
Instead, let's talk about Better Off Ted, the show ABC decided to pair with Scrubs. Better Off Ted had a good premiere episode. It was funny and set up a lot of information for the show. Maybe too much information. Veridian Dynamics, the company the cast works for, already froze and unfroze Phil. I thought that this frozen guy thing was going to be a constant on the show, considering how much they plugged that aspect in promos leading up to the premiere. (Actually, I assumed they would freeze a guy named Ted (and he would stay frozen), and the cast would always refer to how much better Ted has it because he's frozen and doesn't have to put up with all the usual office TV sitcom problems. I was wrong.) We've also already seen Ted, the main guy, sleep with or at least flirt with both of the only female characters on the show. I guess after Ross and Rachel and then Elliot and J.D. shows are trying to be more upfront with their romantic entanglements. I just don't know where the show can go from here, plot-wise.
Anyhow, it was a funny pilot, and I'm going to keep DVRing and watching it. Oddly enough, my biggest concern is Portia de Rossi's character. She's very harsh and strange. I say "oddly enough" because my first interest in the show was based on my allegiance to Arrested Development alumni. This is the same reason I cared about Juno to begin with. Now, however, I have to care about Juno because it's a pretty big cultural force. I thought it was okay, but Jason Bateman was hilarious.

What does "BFF" mean to you?
My take: Charles.

Somehow, my bracket is not dead last. In my other pool that was for money, I'm 5 points out of 1st but probably won't win (same scoring premise, just divide our ESPN scores by 10).
ReplyDeleteAs far as tv, I don't really have time during the week to watch sitcoms, so I live vicariously through Brett's blog reports. Hopefully I can watch some seasons this summer.
QotD: Being the Wake fan that I am, it should probably mean the bottle. However, I knew the game was over after the first 4 minutes and half expected to lost it so oh well. Thus, my answer is Bisdom.
I'm liking this whole blog every other day thing. My bracket is looking decent, but not spectacular. Wake screwed me as well since I had them going to the elite 8. My final 4 is still alive though.
ReplyDeleteBFF means Bolt to me
Bracket was doing okay...not great. Freaking Wake and UCLA...
ReplyDeleteBetter of Ted was okay, not great, though I too will support Arrested Alumni
QoD: A gay way to say Austin, wait Austin is a gay way to say Austin.
