So I caught the first episode of "React To That," the TV-spinoff/adaptation of the Fine Bros' "React" videos from Youtube.  The show is cute... and certainly "Nickelodeon-ized" since it focuses on the kids and the videos are more G-rated and non-controversial, but honestly, I felt it feeling sort of clinical and workmanlike.  Maybe that's because they're still experimenting with the twenty minute format (the commercial breaks lasted for freaking EVER), but it felt like they could be more spontaneous on the web, which you're kind of hoping for.  Now that they have a show and a studio, they can get all the kids together and do stuff, but since they still shoot stuff apart, the can't come up with an idea on the spot.  There was a video they were watching about this amazing dancer, and they ALL said they wanted to be able to do it.  Well, if they were all in studio together, they could have put together a little dancing challenge right there and cut out the "spinning baseball" challenge from the third act).  Hopefully this is one of those kinks that will get smoothed out as the show progresses.

Another big problem for me was the show lacked a variety of guests: since it was Nick, it was just the kids, but online you can swap between the kids, adults, teens, whomever, and they can take as long as they like on a topic.  TV's a different animal.

it was an interesting little watch, and it kind of feels like old Nick, but I don't think I'll be catching up with episodes if they become available online.

Checking out Broad City. I saw the first episode a couple of months ago, but then got sidetracked. Now I get to watch all of Season 1 in the next couple of days.

I fall squarely into that saying 500 channels and nothing is on.

I watch very little television. A few comedies, some Walking Dead, etc. But I just have never been able to stay with a show.

if I had turned the TV on, I'd be scrolling for ten/fifteen minutes and then just settled for the least objectionable option.  That doesn't appeal to me.  I can't see how it appeals to anyone.  I preferred the silence.

I'm there with a brother. I'm preferring silence at times. My wife has to have something on all the freakin' time.

Cast announcement trailer for Wet Hot American Summer.  Coming out THIS Summer, holy cow.

Dude, that looks sick! This is the first I'm hearing about the series. I'm definitely on board. Get it?  Gonna start a thread since I will be tracking it from here on out. Thanks for the heads up.

There was a great article I read by the creator of "Fresh Off The Boat" about all the ways the show bastardized his book to make the show.  Can't remember where I read it since it so it's buried in reviews and sh*t, but he was pretty p*ssed off about how inaccurate and upbeat the thing turned out to be.

I just watched the premiere for The Slap tonight. Booooooooooooring. Seriously, what the f*ck is up with that narration? Another show I get to cross off my list.
