Comments Off on COMMUNITY Preview: Dungeons and Dragons Episode

Are you ready for a night of epic battles, rogue elves, and spell-casting? With COMMUNITY tackling a game of Dungeons and Dragons in tonight’s episode, you’re bound to get it.

D&D has had a long love-affair with the programs that have referenced it, from E.T: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL to THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM to THE COLBERT REPORT. It’ll be exciting to see where COMMUNITY lands on the spectrum.

My guess? Somewhere between “Awesome” and “Inexplicably Bizarre.” You know, the usual, but with more LARPing.

Plus, it appears that Annie will be playing a character named “Hector the Well-Endowed.” Bonus!

Watch the preview here….

COMMUNITY: ‘Celebrity Pharmacology 212’

January 28, 2011 by  
Filed under Community

Remember back in elementary and middle school, where they’d pause classes for a little while to tell us the dangers of smoking pot and huffing paint? Where they’d hand out those D.A.R.E shirts that you somehow still own ten/fifteen/twenty years later, and you walk away mainly with the knowledge that after-school special type PSAs aren’t really all that effective past the age of seven?

COMMUNITY remembers. And so “Celebrity Pharmacology 212” spends its half-hour probably the closest to PSA territory that it will ever get. And that isn’t really all that close.

THE OFFICE: Watch David Brent Meet Michael Scott

Filed under #1 featured, The Office

When David Brent and Michael Scott collide — It’s something many fans of THE OFFICE have only dreamed of since the show’s US premiere six years ago. Tonight, it was made into a reality.

East Coast fans may have already seen the cameo appearance by Ricky Gervais as oblivious Brit David Brent (who famously originated in the UK version of THE OFFICE), but the moment won’t air on the West Coast for another couple of hours.

Lucky for both coasts, however, we’ve got the guest appearance right here at Give Me My Remote for your viewing (and re-viewing) pleasure.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES returns to your television sets tonight, guys. Are you ready for it?

Last we left our favorite supernatural creatures, Tyler was suffering through his first full moon (and growing closer to Caroline), Elena was gearing up for a sacrifice, and the other werewolves in town were preparing for a possible war. Rumor has it that things are only going to get more intense from here on out, so you might want to brace yourself on something steady.

To hold you until tonight, we’ve got some preview clips coming your way. As Candace Accola says in the first one, “It’s gonna be a wild ride.”

Hey, HELLCATS fans!

The show returns tonight with brand new episodes on The CW, and it’s certainly bringing the drama.

Last we saw our band of cheerleaders, Marti and Dan had hooked up in the back of a car — despite the fact that he had spent the better part of the season dating Savannah. Marti admitted the truth to Savannah and things weren’t good between the roommates.

So where do they go from here?

COMMUNITY: ‘Asian Population Studies’

January 21, 2011 by  
Filed under Community

COMMUNITY is back, you guys! We’ve got Abed’s ticks, Pierce’s senility, Jeff’s sexy sarcasm, and Troy’s amazing fake crying, all back on our TV screens every Thursday night. Thanksgiving may have been months ago, but there’s no moratorium about how thankful I am to have COMMUNITY back in my life.

The episode opened with the gang — is it blasphemy of some sort if I start referring to them as “The Scoobies,” à la BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER? Because a large part of me wants to — greeting each other after spending winter break apart. Over the break there have been a couple of changes within our beloved study group: Jeff discovered a new muscle in his back to exercise (we’ll thank him come swimsuit season); Shirley started dating her formerly-philandering ex-husband; Annie, using her “I love butterflies” voice, plays coy, describing the community service she did over the break picking up condoms and fingers off the highway. The culprit of her high spirits is, of course, of the male persuasion.

But this man is not just anyone of the male persuasion—he is none other than Jeff Winger’s arch nemesis, the pottery-gifted doctor who caused Jeff’s downfall back in season one’s “Beginner Pottery.” Dr. Rich. Or as I like to call him, Ghosting Guy.

Comments Off on COMMUNITY Preview: Check Out Guest Star Malcolm-Jamal Warner!

Are you all as excited as I am that COMMUNITY comes back tonight?

I hope not, because having too many people as excited as I am might cause some sort of riot or public safety issue, so we might want to try and contain ourselves.

That may be difficult, however, when you watch this preview of the episode. Here’s a hint/spoiler: it features guest star Malcolm-Jamal Warner (wearing a COSBY sweater, no less) as Shirley’s ex-husband/current boyfriend. Gasp!

But what about the potential Chang baby? Hopefully we’ll find out this evening.

In the meantime, here’s the clip:

Ricky Gervais to Reprise Role of David Brent on NBC’s THE OFFICE

OFFICE fans, hold onto your hats.

It was announced today that Ricky Gervais — controversial GOLDEN GLOBES host and, more importantly, co-creator and star of the UK version of THE OFFICE — will be reprising his role as David Brent on NBC’s version of the show.

The guest appearance has been described as simply a “small cameo,” will appear during the January 27th episode of the series. Reportedly, the cameo was shot all the way back in September, and that producers had been hoping to keep the appearance a secret to surprise fans.
