Two Broke Girls is a new CBS comedy on Monday nights following the still brilliant “How I met your Mother”.  When I first heard of this show I was hopeful it would be good, but still a bit leery as I have been fooled by a solid premise before.  I am happy to report that this show has become my favorite new comedy of the fall, narrowly beating out “New Girl” on Fox.  The show, as you would expect, is about two girls and is one of two series this fall from comedian Whitney Cummings.  The girls work together in a dirty looking diner in Brooklyn and also share an apartment with a horse.  Let’s meet the cast: Kat Dennings plays Max, a street smart girl with an attitude and a quick wit.  She has obviously worked at the diner for some time when she meets Caroline, played by the stunningly beautiful Beth Behrs.  Caroline was once a wealthy socialite until her father was convicted in a Bernie Madoff like Ponzi scheme.  She is now penniless and was homeless until Max took her

I finally have it figured out.  I know why there are tsunamis, earthquakes, teabaggers and other natural disasters.  I know why there is cancer, muscular dystrophy, Herman Cain and other diseases.  It’s because God does not care about those things as he/she is all consumed with Survivor.  God cannot be bothered with starvation and poverty because he/she loves listening to Coach tell him/her that he is not worthy.  (On a side note is it okay for God to call Coach Benjamin?  Just asking.)  God has to watch Survivor as it has now become a weekly prayer meeting for the Upolu tribe.  God must really love game shows set in tropical climates.  I’m sorry, but if God is truly interested in whether or not Upolu wins a challenge then we have some serious issues upstairs.  More on this insanity later. Our episode begins right off with Christine and the lovely Mikayla at the Redemption Island challenge.  Each contestant had to take apart a crate, use the planks to make a bridge and t

Can someone please explain to me who or what Coach is winking and saluting to?  I cringe every time he does it.  He gets this shit eating grin and salutes.  Why?  To what purpose?  Is he saluting the camera operators?  Is there a hot girl behind the scenes that he is winking at?  Does he suddenly see his reflection in a mirror and then pronounce his undying love for himself?  Oh wait, he loves Brandon now and Brandon loves Coach, but we’ll delve into that later. Our episode began with a very angry Ozzy throwing a fit over Elyse being voted out at TC.  Now if he had been complaining that the hottest girl on either tribe had just been ousted that would be one thing, but Ozzy was whining and crying because they did it behind his back.  Oh boo hoo Ozzy, haven’t you played this game enough to know how it is played?  Instead of just manning up and refocusing his efforts to be indispensible to the tribe, Ozzy declares himself a free agent and out of all alliances.  That was du

I’m just telling you now that if anyone calls me by my first name I am going to go nuts.  I am the Big Blogger damn it!  No one has called me by my first name since I was eight.  Even my parents call me the Big Blogger.  Even before there was such a thing as a blogger I was called the Big Blogger.  Now, I realize how ridiculous that sounds, but Coach?  Well he went nuts a long time ago so I am guessing he has no clue, but we’ll delve into that with a little more detail later. Our show began as so many others have in the past, with Brandon crying and saying bad things about Mikayla.  Seriously, this guy has a lot of issues and maybe tossing him out in front of cameras with a bunch of strangers was not the best idea.  I know they do all sorts of psychological testing before sending anyone out, but I think they just gave Brandon a pass due to the Hantz name.  Who would have thought that Russell would be the more stable member of the Hantz family?

I am really sleepy today so I am warning you now with peace and love that this entry may not be up to normal standards.  Based on my exhaustion today’s entry could be shorter than usual, really bad or both.  And that’s a shame because last night’s episode was a doozy. But before we get to that I just want to mention the passing of Steve Jobs.  Why a brilliant man such as that was taken at such an early age I will never know.  I think it is just proof that God hates America.  If not, why  is Steve Jobs dead, but we're still stuck with morons like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry?  There is no justice in the world. We started out Jim speaking to Cochran about stirring things up a bit.  Seems that Elyse and Ozzy have a bond and we know how dangerous couples can be on the show.  The sight of Elyse snuggling Ozzy in a hammock disgusted me.  Not as much as when Elyse asked if Ozzy if the rest of his family was as outdoorsy and athletic as him.  Yuck.  Then it go
