Series We Loved - Prison Break

The first time i watched the pilot of Prison Break, i still remembered the awe i felt when Wenthworth Miller's character reveals that the tats on his body are in fact, a fine print of the map o break out of prison. I still remember the excitement i felt during the first few episodes of the first season, when there are relevant twists after twists to keep me satisfied, at least until another week.

Assuming that those who read this blog are already familiar with the premises and storyline of the series, it's sad to say that this great serial went the way of an errand ex-girlfriend. I had a bad breakup with Prison Break, mainly because during/after the third season, she went out of her way to throw BS after another BS to me, and i just can't take it anymore.

See, the series are really supposed to be about - well, Prison Break. But the finale for the first season - honestly, quite disappoints me. Instead of a genius plan to get out of the prison undetected (they still accomplished that -partly), they resorts to violence, which frankly still leaves a sour taste in my mouth till today.

And then, the second season. As you know, there's a certain something called the "Second Season Syndrome". But Prison Break really break out of the mould, that the series itself could aptly have been retitled Prison Run. And that's when my relationship with this serial starts to wane.

Did you see that pic above? I didn't accidentally upload a thumbnail. I am really pissed with the direction that this great serial is heading to that i won't bother downloading a nice pic for you. Ah, Prison Break. It's good while it lasted (Season 1).

Worst/Awesome Cartoon Dads - Stan Smith

TV has given us lots of bad/awesome cartoon dads over the year, those that make our average potbellied dads seem like Gandhi. The first one to be featured is Stan Smith, an agent/spy who obviously can't hide his occupation from everyone else because he's so awesome - or at least he thought he is.

Macho by nature, Stan Smith would easily beat the crap out of the rest of the aforementioned cartoon dads here. However - in doing so, he would cause back to back World Wars, manage to alienate an entire population of a nation, and frustrate his wife.

Oh, he's also easily the best looking one, with way higher odds of squaring with chicks. Compare him with that pathetic pork of a man, Peter Griffin. This guy is so awesome, he even has his own shoe brand. Oh, wait.

Okay, that's an Adidas Stan Smith shoes, which anyway is not awesome enough for Stan to wear.

See the pic above? Stan lived his life exclusively, using taxpayers money for his luxuries and to keep up the lies he's hiding from his wife. Apparently, he tricked his wife into believing that a complete stranger  is her father-in-law. If you think that that is just a Barney Stinson level of douche/awesome=ness, swallow this. He managed to tricked her for twenty years.

Face, NPH.

The. First. Post.

So here it is, the first post for this blog. Let's get the questions out of the way first. What's a Douch Potato? Is it a type of potato that hails from the Netherlands? Or is it one particular potato that is considerably douchier than the rest of his potato peers? Maybe a potato that sniggers when he's being picked by those potato pickers over the rest of the other potatoes. And end up being chopped, baked, frozen, fried and still maintains his douche edge just because it's in a pack (packs?) of Mr Potato or Lays snacks.



Anyway, it's probably the first thing that come to your mind - just a simple play on the word couch potato. And this blog is dedicated to the rest of the couch potatoes in this world, who shares the same love as me - namely anything that is on TV. So this blog would be about all the things that i found amusing - or maybe not - that can be found on TV. Maybe it would be a discussion about WHO THE MOTHER IS, or whether the Lost series ever have any point of existence at all.

So do look forward to the next few post. I might post something that would interest you, or i might not. It doesn't matter, we all are already doomed anyway. A civilization that spend its time watching a box really need a fun, serious, douchey re-think of its purpose.
