X-Men The Animated Series finally on DVD

Being released on April 28th it collects up to the Phoenix Saga. It's about time they release this on DVD. I own the entire series already, have yet to acctually watch it though.

Family Guy does something funny???

I usually can't stand this show but I have to admit this is just great. I'm sure most of you have seen this but I can't help but throw it on here.

Pawn shop ads.....What is the deal?!?...

Im not sure what the deal is, but it seems like pawn shops are required to have rediculous commercials, and living so close to Hartford means I seem to see them all. Check out below for just a few of the whacked out ads that you may or may not have seen on tv.

WTF?!?

Not sure what to say about this one....

I know everyone has seen these, but a post about pawn shop ads that doesnt include this seems just wrong...

All my broken joowry...




This is just creepy....



so $2500.00 is all it takes to make you forget about how you husband just kicked off huh?

Remember this?...

I have no idea why, but this old TV commercial from a few years ago popped into my head. I used to get a good laugh out of it back then and its still funny now. Just thought i needed to post it here.

The Shield's Final Act Starts Tonight

It's be a long time coming but The Final Season of The Shield starts tonight and I for one can't wait. I don't know to much about this season, FX has been very hush hush, and that's hard to do considering the last episode was filmed last November. Because of the writer strike we had to wait another 9 months just to see this season. I am going to do a little overview of the seasons and then give a few predictions on this final season. Do not read the overview if you have never seen the show and plan to watch it sometime because their will be spoilers.

Season 1:
Vic Kill's Terry becuase Terry was planing on ratting on the Strike Team and their dirty deals.
Vic and Shane get away with killing another cop, Ronnie and Lem have

Season 2:
The Strike Team steals money from the Armenian Mob (Armenian Money Train)

Season 3:
The Strike Team tries to stay of the radar as being the ones who stole from the Money Train
Lem gets paranoid and scared so he burns almost all the money
The Strike Teams breaks up

Season 4:
Antwon Mitchell Shows up
New Captian has decided to put some faith in Vic
Shane gets in deep with Antwon
Strike Team reforms to help get Shane out of trouble

Season 5:
Lt. Kavanaugh from IAD opens a case on Vic and his Strike Team
Vic is back on the radar for the death of Terry
Vic is also being pushed into early retirement
Lem gets picked up by IAD for heroin and is asked to turn on his team
Lem doesn't turn, he tells his guys he is wired, Strike Team does every thing they can to keep Lem out of prison
Lem gets offered a deal for 5 years in prison and wants to take it
The Strike team here's that Lem takes a deal and thinks Lem is turning on them
Shane meets up with Lem and kills him, thinking he is saving him and the rest of the team
Vic plans to kill who ever killed Lem, not knowing it's Shane who did it

Season 6:
Shane finds out that Lem was never going to turn on him, so he killed his best friend for no reason
Vic finds out that Shane killed Lem, Shane makes a list of all the shit they have done just incase
Shane gets into business with Armenians, tells them about Vic and the money train not knowing it would be bad
Shane tries to protect Vic and his family, Vic thinks he's trying to hurth them
Vic finds leverage on some higher ups which could help save his job


So season 7 starts in about 9 hours, I have to work so I will miss it but thank God for my DVR. Here is a small preview of season 7:


My predictions. I don't think anybody will die, Vic is going to Mexico I can just see that happening. I think Vic's end will be alone and drunk in Mexico. I had always thought Ronnie was undercover, he doesn't say much and is way to clean for somebody who is a dirty cop. But I think he is just smart and in the end will look out for himself since he knows he can't trust Vic and Shane.
Everything else I will learn in the coming weeks, I bet I am wrong on every prediction, I hope I am. We will soon find out though. It's taken a while but the night is finally here and I am pumped.

New Releases of 08/26/08

So this week I will try to keep it short and sweet. The Shield Season 6 came out today and that will be my main focus. Sometime within the next week I will be doing something on the entire series, dunno what yet, but it's needed as the 7th and final season starts next Tuesday. A show as incredible as this deserves something from somebody like myself who is blown away by each season.




The Shield - The Complete Sixth Season:


Continuing directly after season 5, Vic and the Strike Team are distraught over Lem's death. Shane has been overcome by guilt and becomes reckless and suicidal. Kavanaugh refuses to let the case die and resorts to planting evidence and coercing witnesses to lie about the Strike Team. Dutch and Claudette begin to suspect his integrity. Vic learns from Claudette that the Chief plans to force him into early retirement — and vows to wreak bloody vengeance on Lem's killer before losing his badge. Claudette learns that the Barn could be shut down if no improvements are made by the time quarterly crime statistics are released.


The 6th season of The Shield was a great season, not as great as season 5, but when you come off such an incredible season and quite possibly one of the best season finalies I have even seen on TV, it's hard to live up to such hype (ask all the fans of heroes). This season was meant to be the last but Shawn Ryan (creator) thought he could add more to the story. It's really hard not to go into detail about this show, or this season. Forest Whitaker is back for 2 episodes as Lt. Kavanaugh, putting Lem's (Kenny Johnson) death on Vic (Michael Chiklis). Forest Whitaker is great in the role of Kavanaugh. He went from being the guy who wants Vic in jail for the death of Terry Crowley (long story) and being very good at what he does, to planting evidence in Vic's apartment which would lead to him being arrested for Lem's murder. He does come clean about it before anything happens to Vic but it just shows that Vic is the type of guy who can turn anybody dirty. "I planted evidence on a guilty man" my favorite line of Whitaker, because it's so true. Vic ultimatley finds out that Shane, his best friend, was the one who killed Lem, which we knew would happen I mean Vic may be dirty but he's a damn good cop and would have figured it out soon enough. With Vic knowing sets up for the 7th and final season witch I will go into more detail in my blogs about the shield later this week.

Final verdict? TV shows are hard, to give a rating to but I will say that this show to me is the best show on all of TV and I don't know if I will ever see something as good as The Shield. So I am going to give this a... buy/rent. Why? This show needs to be seen and you need to start from the beginning. So rent the first season to see if the shows is for you, I mean you may be crazy and think it's terrible. But if you love the shield and have season 1-5 then you need to buy this dvd and throw in you collection next to the rest. And sometime next year pick up season 7 and have the entire series, and brag to all your friends how it is to be awesome, I will be.


Next Week The Office Season 4
