Hip hop rules kids' TV...Biz Markie and Yo Gabba Gabba

Nickelodeon's "Yo Gabba Gabba!" has been ruling the cable channels under my nose. Who knew kids' TV could be so cool?!

Gotta recognize! The picture shows the main characters of the show, but it's the guest stars and contributors that make this a stand-out show. Do you recognize the human in the picture? Yep, that's the Diabolical Biz Markie...the Human Orchestra! Biz has a regular slot on Yo Gabba Gabba! and even goes on tour with the show to do live human beatbox. Talk about keeping hip hop alive! Even The Roots, Money Mark and Erykah Badu have been invited on to the show.

And now, courtesy of Cinefamily, us adults have a rare chance to meet the show's creators tonight in Los Angeles for a special celebration and discussion on how and why "Yo Gabba Gabba!" came to life! Get tixs here.

Who said America was a cultural desert?!

Friday 13th...If you think you've had a bad week...Check this out...

I love this show...it never fails to make me feel better about life. This guy is such a loser! Sorry, I'm not reveling in Sam's suffering to make myself feel better! Oh, may be, just a little ;)

Worst Week is based on the UK show, but for some reason the original didn't do anything for me. It just seemed awkward and a little uncomfortable, yet the US version has me shouting at the TV..."Oh no he didn't!?"

US Version on CBS


UK version on BBC America

The best reality TV show...ever

Here's the finale of Fox TV's "Hell's Kitchen 2". It's emotional. Check out the episodes from series 2 on alluc.org from 2006 (I know I'm lame). It was filmed on La Brea Ave. a few minutes from my apartment. It didn't get to eat there (may be thank goodness?!), but I have been to Gordon Ramsey at The London in West Hollywood.

The Brits are taking over...

I was watching TV last Weds and spotted a cute lady on Pushing Daisies. "That looks like Anna Friel", I thought....it is Anna Friel! I LOVE YOU you Northerner! Hahahaha!

So, the Brits are coming over here and taking prime roles all over US TV and being imported back to the UK and syndicated to the world. Don't believe me? Check this out. It's wonderful!
