'he can't eat that. Did he just eat all of that?'

Okay, so it's been a while since I've blogged so here it is, a blog. With words and random statements about things I don't like such as ‘oh aren't the cinemas crap’ and ‘ooh we need more ice cream flavours’, but I'm not going to bore you with detail let's kick this blog into overdrive. Brace yourself! I have been watching a few television shows of late and would like to start by driving my hate bus into the building of shit that is “The Big Bang Theory” (E4). Now I know a lot of people love this show but I just don't get it. I watched it with friends when nothing was on and was neither bored nor entertained. It started off by reaching a whole new area of comedy which is 'Meh!". After a few episodes I started to grow weary of the characters and the one lined jokes that poke fun at the dumb (queue lots of laughing) or as we are known, the audience. The fact that the jokes are neither funny nor entertaining is one thing, but the constant howling of the audience whenever any of the characters speak makes the program so unbearable that you find most of your time being used up picking out which laughs are real and which were forced by punishment of death. If this show is meant to show that the big bang was a good move, it makes me want a black hole to suck life back into it and hit the reset button. The next programme I've seen of late is the bizarre but strangely mesmerizing "Man vs food" (Dave). Where a man by the name of Adam Richman travels across the land, well the USA, in order to find the best, biggest and sometimes just plain mentally hot foods that his homeland has to offer. In one show he gets a team of 40 people to help him eat the world’s biggest burger weighing 190lbs in under 2 hours. But they fail. It's probabley the fact that its not only a burger but layered with bacon and cheese that would make any fat man explode with greed. Now it is easy on the first view of this show to say ‘what a pile of crap, look he's eating the hottest food in the world, right after eating enough food to feed Africa. Hope he's happy, the slightly fat man that he is, knowing he's eating enough food to feed a village. The bastard! ’ But you find yourself drawn to it, like a shiny thing on the ground, only to find out it's not money but a man eating 2 tonnes of ice cream and you just stare. Stare at the man and the food thinking 'he can't eat that. Did he just eat all of that? Well played man, whats next? COME ON ADAM - SHOW FOOD WHO’S THE BOSS.’ Lastly, but definitely not least, is the American Show "Breaking Bad" (AMC). Not only is it a great show, it's also from the same channel that brought us “The Walking Dead”, so that's double thumbs up to them. It stars the Dad from “Malcolm in the Middle”, Bryan Cranston for those who want to know, as Walter White, a Noble Prize winning chemistry teacher who is told on his 50th birthday that he has incurable lung cancer. Shocked by the news, he goes on a run along with his brother-in-law to a meth lab where he meets an old student of his, Jesse, now a meth dealer. Deciding he could make a lot of money to leave to his pregnant wife and disabled child, he pairs up with him making the best meth around and goes through all hell in this non stop adventure. Now I am only a few episodes in and I know I'm late to the party with this show as many of my friends have been telling me to watch it for ages, but get the DVDs and watch it - it is truly outstanding and I am hooked, wanting more. Unlike The Big bang Theory which just leaves me sad and lonely in a cloud of shit. Tweet me @Pippy_Pippatron
