The Ultimate Fighter Fridays is TUFF

The Ultimate Fighter Fridays premiered without a hitch; 32 contenders vying for a six figure UFC contract and a custom Harley Davidson Motor Cycle. Heavy weight champion Shane Carwin and heavy weight contender Roy “Big Country” Nelson were selected as this seasons team coaches and compete against each other to see who will lead the winning team. These two coaches are extremely competitive and want nothing more than to win; I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that the winning coach wins a custom Harley as well.
Louie “Miami”

I know I’ve missed the first two episodes of the new season of Louie so far, and I’ll try to not repeat that mistake. Having just caught up this week, I can say the premiere was rather lackluster in terms of humor or substance, feeling kind of off in general from what has come before. But hey, that’s Louis C.K. just doing his thing without studio interference; maybe there will be some radical full-circle moment yet to come later. I generally trust Louis C.K. The follow-up episode however bounced back, completely exceeding even my own tolerance for cringe situations. You know the scene in question where Louie and his blind date of sorts discussed the ethics of initial sexual encounters. I couldn’t wipe the grimace off my face even if I tried, it was like recalling the smell of tequila the day after a bad hangover. Uncomfortable, yet great stuff all at the same time.
True Blood “Let’s Boot and Rally”

We’re gonna live forever. We’re gonna be young forever. The world is wide open to us. – Jessica
After a couple weak episodes recently, “Boot” really picks up the pace for a refreshing change. Things pick up right where they left off last week, with Alcide getting c***blocked first by vomit, and eventually Bill and Eric. What I like here was that the episode goes back to follow up on the freeing of Russell from his silver-lined concrete grave. I do remember Alcide saying something about one of his employees being unable to recall exactly what happened. So Sookie is brought in to help ‘de-glamour’ the employee’s memory and their story actually turns up quite a tense exploration of an abandoned asylum that eventually reintroduces an always droll, annoyed Russell at the tail end. I could gripe about how Eric should have immediately staked him after entering the room, but I’ll let it slide since everything about the asylum leading up to this moment was spookily fun.

Anger Management (Series Premiere)

I have to admit, I was not a fan of Sheen’s previous sitcom work on the abysmal Two and a Half Men. Everything about it just screamed obvious and the series broke no real boundaries other than allowing further vulgarities into primetime. Over the years I’ve seen I think about two full episodes and it did absolutely nothing for me. So when Anger Management was announced over a year ago, and that it was to be somewhat based on the Sandler/Nicholson film from about a decade ago, I thought it might be a ‘winning’ (sorry for the terrible play on words) concept seeing Charlie Sheen go up against someone else in a series of humorously infuriating scenarios that could be milked for all their awkward glory.
