It is like a wonderful continuation of Tiny Furniture with all, if not most, of the cast members coming back for Lena Dunham’s new show “Girls” in different roles. Plus there is the addition of Allison Williams. I also noticed a quick look at Chris O’Dowd and am curious how big of a role he has or if it is just a guest spot. I am getting excited just to see how Dunham does with her first television series after the critical success with her film.

OH man, this is awesome! If you do not read Invincible you will not get it, but oh man this is brilliant. There are more on Jared Ramone’s deviantART site.

Just a fun Photoshop for Tauntr.com.
No sir, this is so much more than just a fun photoshop.

This is literally the best thing that ever happened to Tumblr.
Yeah, this is pretty awesome. But…
The Drew Carey Show did it first! …Well after the musical of course.
Watching Rio with Marley and he starts doing this weird thing on his door. Sometimes he just does the oddest things.

My brother Sean (who is the coolest) just emailed me this screencap from the “Coneheads” movie Wikipedia page, with the simple subject line: “best cast all time?” I never thought about it before, but he might be right!

Man, that Deadpool and Invincible look awesome. As does Hit-girl.
Coconut Records - Any Fun. Really into the song and the video. The band is actually a solo project by Jason Schwartzman. For those of you unfamiliar with him, he is the main character in the HBO series Bored to Death. Despite the sadness and name of the song it is actually a pretty fun single. Enjoy!
It around ten months ago that I started and finished watching Shameless on Showtime. After looking up the show, catching up on things I may have missed out on, I discovered that Shameless was actually an American adaptation. Since I enjoyed the American version so much, I decided that I would leave it be. Never even search for the British original. Unlucky for me, Netflix made it quite convenient to watch the original Shameless. What is a television lover to do? Do I keep on ignoring it, keeping my curious mind distant from the source materials of one of my favorite programs of 2011, or do I give into temptation and watch Shameless U.K.? I ignore it, that is what I did. Well for a couple of weeks anyway.
Last month, I went ahead and dove into the first series of the original. No further. I was amazed to find that James McAvoy was part of the cast. But besides that It turns out, the American remake has the same exact storylines as the original. You have the same characters, put into the same situations, with the same results. The only difference was that the British original felt to be more of an abridged version of the series. The American remake expands diligently on the scenarios, providing the characters more time to deal with one another and become more dynamic. While the original relies on a narrator to fill the viewer in on the going on of the characters, the American adaptation goes beyond that by eliminating the the episode’s speaker and actually display the action as it happens. This is the main reason why I enjoyed the American version of Shameless better than the original. It gives me a better chance to connect with the characters, feel excited or despair in the plot, and actually wonder what happens next.
It may be unpopular to say, but I really enjoy the American version of Shameless more than the British. And as the second season begins to a slow start, it retains the same feel. While the characters continue to be the ones we were introduced to, I can see evolution is coming. Both shows are fantastic in their own ways. The only problem I have with the British original is that I now realize, I have difficulties understanding drunk cockney. Now the big question is, should I continue on to series two of the original?
