Premier Week: Sunday, September 26, 2010

Sunday, end of the week. And ending of premiers(except for the late bloomers like CSI: Miami and No Ordinary Family). After this week, all the next episodes will be just like any ordinary episode, up until finale week in May...however, Smallville's 200th(technically 199th) episode is October 15th, so look out for that since James Marsters is back as Braniac :) Now, back on topic here....Sunday was mainly just reality television and Fox's animation domination lineup.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is how I started off my Sunday evening. It airs at 7 on ABC. And this season premier was definitely star packed. Special guests on this episode were Raven Symone, Katy Perry, Shaquille O'Neal, and the kids from Modern Family: Rico Rodriguez, Ariel Winter, and Nolan Gould. If it wasn't for these stars, I probably wouldn't have watched it, because I don't normally watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. This episode was very intense, having to deal with a lightning storm that almost completely flooded and ruined the inside of the house, and it was an extremely important episode since it was for an entire organization(Boys Hope, Girl Hope) instead of just another family. But, this is just another reality show, nothing to grand about this show except that it's one of the few that give to a needy cause, rather than giving a huge sum of money to a very unneedy person who'll probably go and blow it all on some strippers or something.

In between the two reality shows was Fox's comedy block, which also stars at 7, with a show ever half an hour until 9...

Which started off with The Simpsons. The season premier had Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, and Amber Riley from Glee and Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Concords over for a very musical episode of The Simpsons. The Glee kids were only there for a short while, but it was still great. This episode was all about the arts. Krusty thought he won a Nobel Piece Prize so he went to Olso with Homer, who laughs at pretty much all of Krusty's lame jokes, but instead of arriving in Olso, they arrive in The Hague to attend World Court for all the despicable behavior of Krusty's over the years. Bart and Homer free him by showing the court a video of a show Krusty quit, that may have resulted in the South African government releasing Nelson Mandela. Lisa attends performing arts camp. And the rest is history. I love The Simpsons and am not surprised at all that it's lasted 22 years. Hopefully it'll last many more.

Next on Fox's comedy block was The Cleveland Show, which also did a somewhat similar show with musical guest Kanye West playing a parody of himself, whose character, Kenny West, said at one time "I still think Beyonce should have won". That was hilarious!! Keke Palmer also guest starred as Kanye's character's daughter. And a big part of this episode was the fact that Cleveland knew Barack Obama when they were teenagers and could never beat him at basketball, this unaccomplished life goal causes Cleveland to say on national television that "Barack Obama hates black people" which causes Obama to come to Cleveland's home and beat him at basketball, once again.

The last thing on Fox's comedy block for this week was the hour long premier of Family Guy, until the American Dad premier next week. And the episode was definitely worth the extra half an hour. The episode took on the shape of a murder mystery. The episode is entitled "And Then There Were Fewer" simply because, five people died. James Woods, Murial Goldman, Dianne Simmons, a guy named Derek, and this really annoying fat chick, whose name I do not remember, were the five victims of the season premier. Family Guys definitely wins in the who's funnier category of Fox's comedy block.

And the end of the night was the season two premier of Undercover Boss on CBS at 8 o'clock. It is one of my favorite television reality shows because it shows that there are big boss guys that really do care about things other than money...they're just stupid and locked up in their offices so long they have no clue what's going on outside.

Sunday is a good night to sit and have a good laugh and watch a little reality t.v. But if you do not like animation comedy shows or reality, like my grandma, you, my friend, are $h!t out of luck. =)
