Remember when that Ken Jennings guy won like 100 games of Jeopardy in a row? Turns out he was smart AND funny.

Lynyrd Skynyrd ain’t the only one with a sweet home.
Some of the coolest homes you have ever seen are in your favorite TV shows or movies. Unless your favorite shows and movies involve homeless people…then my friend you shit out of luck. Fortunately for TV and film, the only thing holding back what house a character lives in, is the imagination. Some imaginations do great things. Here are several places, in no particular order, which I would like to inhabit. Mind you there are tons of TV and movie places I would like to live…these are just a few for all you critics out there.
The Clampett Estate – Beverly Hills, CA
As Seen In: Beverly Hillbillies
Estimated Purchase Cost: $8,173,500
Why I would live in it: This is an awesome mansion even if it was considered modern back in the 60s. Jed Clampett shot into the ground and struck oil. So what did that redneck do? Bought this ballin’ ass estate. I would live here because of the awesome landscape that comes along with the house and when I mean awesome landscape I’m really talking about Elly May Clampett and her fine ass self (1960s Elly May of course). It also doesn’t hurt to have a shotgun totin’ granny on premise as your head of security.

Trailer Park Boys’
I’m back. I had a chance to see things from the Colorado perspective for the past week or so and let me tell you, our friends out there know how to choogle. They also know about some funny, independent TV shows such as Trailer Park Boys’.
This show is about a three buddies who live in a trailer park and are just trying to get by. When I say trying to get by, I mean that they are trying to live a life of drunkeness, drug use, and sex all while trying to outwit the drunk, gay landlords of the trailer park. It sounds offbeat, but it grows on you. Check out this “trailer” below to get a whiff of what Trailer Park Boys’ has to offer:

I highly suggest Netflixing these DVDs, securing a good eighth of booze, and setting aside a few days to experience what life is like as a Canadian.

This Is Jeopardy
I love watching Jeopardy, but I hate Alex Trebeck. It pains me to listen to him…he is a smug, arrogant, prick. I really feel that he gets a perverse pleasure out of letting the contestants know their answer is incorrect. He always seems like he is trying incredibly hard not to let out an enormous grin.
I have no doubt that he a reasonably intelligent man, but he seems to forget that we all know that he has the answers in his hand and zero pressure when he corrects the contestants. He particularly enjoys when they mispronounce a word or don’t say it in the plural sense.
The reasons described here is exactly why some people love this flaming piece of a Canadian and in theory he seems like someone I would enjoy. In fact though, I really can’t stand the mother fucker.
TCM would like to give Trebeck a big FUCK YOU from all the Captains!
Oh, and grow your mustache back.

Gordon Shumway.
Those who are wondering who Gordon Shumway is, I will tell you. He is better known as the cat eating furry space…thing nicknamed Alf. You all know who he is, I mean come on, 95% of you had an Alf lunchbox growing up. The other 5% had My Little Pony lunchboxes, yes I’m talking to you Polish.
Well Twitter has brought up plenty of fun things to read like the Rebound Finder or Shit My Dad Says. Now, you can follow what Mr. Shumway has to say. Here is his latest and greatest twat tweet.
I hate musicals. Out of the blue people burst into songs. But then I heard there was one named “Cats”…
O Alf, how funny you were when it came to wanting to eat the cat, and the 1980s.

Conan O’Brien, where art thou?
I’m sure we all know the Conan saga that is going on and yes, we have learned that NBC and Jay Leno are a bunch of pee holes.
Conan by far is the best current late night host on television. It is a damn shame that these suits have to push his Irish ass out on the streets (well, not really the streets, NBC I believe gave him somewhere in the range of $45,000,000…I think he’ll be alright). We hope to see Senor Conan back on the air soon, on Fox or any other channel spewing out the most ludicrous comedy on television.
In no particular order, TCM will present some top moments from Late Night with Conan O’Brien (prior to his moving to The Tonight Show). We love you Conan.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers…The Poor Man’s Voltron
When I was a youth, I was all about Voltron. I wasn’t lucky enough to catch it’s initial run, but I became aware of it through reruns in the late 1980’s. Basically, it was a Japanese cartoon where 5 people piloted these robotic lions who could form into one giant humanoid robot named, Voltron and than fucked some shit up. This is was the climax of every episode.
A few years later, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers somehow became all the rage. Even as a kid I knew they were shamelessly ripping off Voltron. 5 people (pre, “Green Ranger”) wearing costumes that share more than a passing resemblance to Voltron, pilot 5 robotic animals that form a giant robot named Megazord and subsequently fuck shit up. This was the climax of every episode…with catchier music.
