Tenacious D (1997)
whats not to like
Really, who doesn't like to see regular looking people belting out funny, witty, and sexually charged music. They are two very talented, intelligent, heavy set, sexy as f**k dudes that rock our faces off. From a decade (even though they got big in 2000, they started out in the 90s) that's still to young to be recognized for it's truly great talents.
Jack Black and Kyle Gass are original and funny. I'm surprised the show got canned after only 3 episodes, but when the heads want to take your creative control, then you either bend over or give em the finger and find the door.
If you like rock, or even like the comedy from the genre that brought us David cross and the odenkirks then you should love this.
Justified (2010)
great show, love the Kentucky theme
I love that this show is about a US Marshall in Kentucky. It has a great leading man, and a wonderful group of supporting actors. By making it a more "Southern" style (cop?) show, they have a little more room to play with the story. It is very fresh compared to what i normally watch in that genre.
I love that they cast Timothy Olyphant as the lead in this show. He hits his accent dead on. There are a few actors that are originally from Kentucky they could have used (Bruce Willis, George Clooney, and Johnny Depp) that would have fit, but I believe he is the best fit for this. Plus, they are more in the movie business and probably wouldn't have excepted the offer.
This show is as fun as it is entertaining. I have watched every episode so far and will continue to watch it in the future. If they keep up the pace, without making it unrealistic (although i love the shootings, can't do it every episode!) i think we will be in for a great show for years to come. Keep up the good work, and let the family feuds begin!
