General reminder: at 12 EST on [adultswim] tonight "The Greatest Event In Television History" airs. It's not the same one as last year's "The Greatest Event In Television History" that was a fifteen minute special on the channel where Adam Scott and Jon Hamm did a shot by shot recreation of the introduction to Simon & Simon. Don't know what will happen on tonight's thirty minute installment, but it will involve Adam Scott and Amy Poehler doing something.

This was pretty good, but I liked the first one a bit more. It was also strange that they blocked out 30 minutes for this one because it really could have been fifteen. It ended up being about seventeen minutes until an extended post credits sequence with Nick Kroll happened. It was funny, but you know, it got my hopes up a bit too high.

Great call backs to jokes in the first (though few rivaled the greatness of the first special's), and I would definitely be down for a yearly special where Adam Scott and some other person recreates the title sequence from some 80's show. He and Poehler did the opening from Hart to Hart last night. It's really fun to see their recreation at the very end followed by the original title sequences over the credits. They do a Hell of a job.

Wilfred started season three last night with a two episode premiere. It was quite good, that show has one of the most refreshing tones on television. I thought we had a thread for it, but I couldn't find it, so yeah, watch Wilfred.

Not bad; though, I worry how much longer this show can sustain its crazy-guy-talks-to-anthropomorphized-dog premise.

My oldest son is in search of a series that he can get through Amazon Prime. He just finished:

Deep Space Nine and
Eureka

He has seen the other Star Trek series and Psych. What are some of your favorites, where an 8 year old can be in the room? :)

Friday Night Lights?  (Lots of talk of teen sex, but it's network tv so nothing too over the top.)

Malcolm in the Middle!!!  They only have Season 1, though.

If he hasn't seen it yet, and isn't "too cool" to watch cartoons, Avatar: The Last Airbender is great for all ages.

I did.  He's a fixer.  He's damaged.  His family life is a mess.  Also there are some accents, supposed to be Boston, but oh my so not.

The pilot had a lot to do with introducing all the characters.

It'll slot in for the summer.  I hope it grabs my attention soon.
