"How The Liver and The Salad Conspired to Ruin Todd's Good Deed" Air Date 1-20-12
A triple shot of Todd Margaret to start off the days post.
I like that they picked up exactly where they left off last season. I always prefer it when I get to watch things unfold on a show. I might have to go back and rewatch the first season, as even though I saw all the episodes there seems to be a lot of in-jokes that I need to brush up on. I think the show would play well on DVD where you have the whole collection to watch in one or two sittings.
It's because of his role on this and Arrested Development that I could not take Will Arnett seriously as the father on Up All Night.
I don't remember it being known that Dave was any thing more than a idiot kid in the first season, It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.
The Jon Hamm Cameos are perfect and one of the funniest things I've seen on TV all week.
The biggest problem I'm having is coming up with things to say about the show, that will come out the right way if you are not watching. I could talk about Alice's rape kit, or young and not legal boys, or The Death Wish Foundation for Dying Retarded Women, but to say you laughed at any of that would seem crass if you didn't know the context.
All the kids on this episode seem to live in houses that are above what is usually seen on these kind of shows. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are making a change at the end.
That albino prisoner with the dread locks could be on the poster for the show. He's one of the scariest looking dudes I think I've ever seen.
It seems that most of these kids had the same name as their father. I wonder if there has ever been any studies as too a correlation between not having your own name and disobedience?
I'm all for the re-education of inmates, but I don't think the periodic table is were the focus should be.
I feel this show might work better as a two-hour special with new episodes airing every couple of months instead of six or eight episodes in a row. When this season first started it was one of the shows I was looking forward to, but I was barely able to make it through this episode and it was solely due to it being too much of the same thing. I think six or eight specials a year where they could spend more time on each kid would be a better format.
It's nice to see a show devote a whole episodes main plot to the death of a bit character. They could have just as easily cut out the two aunts as characters. It's a nicer way to honor someone than just a dedicated card at the end of an episode.
I know it's basic sit-commie stuff, but I enjoyed Axel and Brick making and then eating all the different foods while trying to make the state. The only thing I would have done differently was have had Axel eat the pizza until it went from looking like Indiana to looking like Texas.
The schools mascot is the Labradors. That in and of itself is pretty funny, but I think to drive home the superficiality of the town having it be the Labradoodles would be a better fit.
Jeremy Sisto always looks like he has dip in his mouth.
In the background at the grocery store scene, an entire display case was full of Vitamin Water. I can't decide if this was supposed to mean that only rich white suburbanites drink the stuff, or if the props department was just lazy and spread out four cases of water to fill up the background.
For as new a subdivision as the shows supposed to be set in. I don't think the school would actually have a bell to dismiss kids from class.
Those paperweights were actually kind of cool. I wonder how much they cost to have made?
We'll see if that kid is still talking about being homeboys for life once he sobers up and realizes that the only reason he went to jail is because of his idiot friend.
I don't think I could be a cop just because I don't think I could keep a straight face when the criminals say unintentionally funny things. Case in point when the drunk kid kept asking for a breathalyzer by saying "give me a breast test, give me a breast test.
They used pink handcuffs on those kids, I wonder why there handcuffs were pink? Maybe to signify they are minors?
I laughed out loud when the second kid got in the paddy wagon, after being told that they would both be spending the night in jail, and went up to his friend and said "we've got an overnighter dogg".
I like it when there is variety on Cops, I think every episode should try and have each segment be a different kind of police work.
I can understand if a hotel has a problem with drugs or prostitution and lets the cops use a room to make arrests, because it would have to show that this is not the place to go to get that kind of stuff. But to let the cops use a room and then have the cops just call up drug dealers and have stuff delivered to the hotel doesn't seem to make sense as to whats in it for the hotel.
Also, and this is based entirely on information gathered from watching The Wire, aren't you burning your leads by calling drug dealers and arresting the delivery boys. It doesn't seem that it would really eliminate the problem.
I also laughed when the lady who was just arrested for selling crack said "All I'm trying to do is make a couple of bucks, so I can get some dog food."
If bath salts are legal to buy, can it be considered an illegal drug?
Man this was a funny episode of cops. Two more things that made me laugh:
When the cop asked the twitching naked man who had used bath salts earlier in the day.
Cop: "have you been like this since then?"
Suspect: "Well not naked."
and later when the paramedics were taking him away.
Cop: "do me a favor before you go, say one thing."
The suspect without skipping a beat: "One thing."
"A Crash, an Arrest & a Baby" Air Date 1-21-12
If I was getting pulled over, the last place I'd try and hide something would be in my mouth. The cops are obviously going to ask you some questions and are going to see you mumbling because your mouth is full of stuff. If you hide it under your seat maybe you'll get caught and maybe you'll get away with it.
That baby shouldn't have toys in her crib.
For as stupid a thing as that guy did, by holding his wife hostage at gun point. He might be the smartest person to every appear on Cops by asking for his lawyer. If you ever are in the situation where the police are reading you your rights, don't talk to them and GET A LAWYER,
