Honestly, I love Mister Rogers. Watching him is like getting kicked in the crotch by nostalgia.

Let me be upfront with you.
For people as immersed in television as myself, Upfronts is an exciting time of year. To be honest, I have already made a graph detailing my time-slot options for Fall 2012. No shame in my game. Here are a few shows I’m excited to sample:
ABC
Last Resort
Nashville
NBC
Go On
Revolution
The New Normal
CBS
Elementary
Vegas
FOX
The Mindy Project
The Mob Doctor
The Following

WALTER
I absolutely love Fringe. It’s sci-fi, it’s smart, it has parallel universes; in essence, it really ticks my boxes. Everyone is pretty great, but John Noble’s mad scientist Walter is a particular standout. He rocks the emotional scenes, but this recently released compilation of “Walterisms” focuses solely on the humor. What else can I even say, he’s just so damn funny…enjoy!
I’m bored. No cadavers at this crime scene. Or food.
I wanna be rich, and I want lots of money = Honesty
In the vein of honesty, I have an unnatural love of this song.
“The Fear” – Lily Allen

BSG IS THE UNDISPUTED BEST
This is the first ever clip that I have seen of Portlandia due to my personal distaste for anything that reeks of hipster (read: is set in Portland and involves riding bikes while wearing cotton dresses, or shopping all day for organic milk and vintage buttons…I don’t even know). I am at least aware of the irony in disliking something that I have not even fully tried on some weak preconceived notion, which is in fact the very essence of being a hipster. But this clip cried out to me in a very specific way, as I am an avid marathoner of television, and Battlestar Galactica is probably the only thing I would save from a fire besides my cats. So I will swallow the sword or eat a foot or whatever…the point is, I’d probably like this damn show.
Billy Eichner is my asshole spirit animal.
Cotton, the fabric of our lives
Zooey Deschanel has been a popular topic recently, mostly due to her show New Girl. I have always been very comfortable being completely annoyed by her– the sundresses, the random pitching of syllables, restricting the chefs on Top Chef Masters to making vegan food. Yet, I can’t deny the perks of having Deschanel around. She’s ripe fodder for impersonators, I actually really dig her band She and Him, and damnit if I haven’t started to enjoy her sitcom (though I do think the guys are the actual scene stealers). So as a toast to the positives, I give you a Zooey parody, a Zooey song, and some Zooey clips.

Thank you, ABC…
…for renewing Happy Endings. This show was not as beloved as it should have been, but it gets a second chance with the Season 2 premiere (ABC, September 28th, 9:30). The first episode back is called “Blax, Snake, Home”. I highly suggest you catch up with Season 1 on DVD because it’s hilarious, but it’s not really necessary to enjoy the show. I rustled up a few clips online that I think best showcase the characters; Max gets 2 clips because he is the undisputed best.

Ah-maah-zing!
