this is actually the first line in the description for a wb pilot airing tonight. its from the creator of veronica mars so i guess it will at least have a sense of humor about its stupid premise.
A zombie helps Seattle police solve murders by experiencing victims' memories when she eats their brains.
im in on better call saul after binging the first seven episodes. can breaking bad be far behind? much less intense and more comically oriented according to press reports. and im predisposed to like it because of bob odenkirk as the lead, he of sketch comedys mr show. show creator vince gilligan is two for two in bringing out the dramatic side of comedic performers. also michael mckean is in this as well.
i missed this event this year but im sure there must be some clips floating around.

i (and undoubtedly others) joked that brian williams ought to consider taking over for jon stewart as his "credibility" as a newsreader is now in jeopardy for fibbing while trying to impress the octogenarians that still watch the nightly news. apparently i (and others) wasnt that far off base as this long expose reveals that he expressed an interest in taking over for letterman and leno upon their retiring. of course if he took over for stewart he might be forced into actually covering the news rather than just mugging for the camera.
i can see why nbc passed on the unbreakable kimmy schmidt, its actually funny and that goes against their core principles regarding comedies lately. apparently they produced this tina fey helmed sitcom, and then realizing it would make the rest of their awful comedies look terrible by comparison, they shipped it off to netflix which has already ordered a second season. its not quite the rapid fire joke machine that 30 rock was but it slowly builds over the course of the first season (ive seen seven of thirteen) into a consistently funny vehicle for ellie kemper (from the office) and her band of misfits.
live long and prosper.
the final nail in nbcs must see thursday comedy lineup gets pounded into the coffin tonight when parks and recreation ends its run. that it is being aired on tuesday at ten after a two hour episode of the biggest loser should tell you all you need to know. which is probably nothing.
Kath & Kim (Australia)
ok, watching the original Australian show (YouTube and Acorn.) Pretty nutty fare, but it's a comedy right? Set in the dial up connection 90's. Can't imagine the US version
with it's 2.5 star
