Thirty years after TV’s Bloopers and Practical Jokes debuted on television, it is coming back to TV this fall as Bloopers! According to Broadcasting & Cable the show has been sold into weekly syndication for 3 years with a 120 episode order. If you are not familiar with the show, they aired bloopers from TV shows and movies, and also played practical jokes on celebrities. Since it has been a while since the original series ended and video cameras are a lot more accessible to everyone they will be adding a segment for user-generated videos. What that means I don’t know, but we will have to wait until the show comes on the air.
They do not say who will host it, but why do I have a feeling that Ryan Seacrest will take over for Dick Clark and the late Ed McMahon? Could be because he keeps inheriting Dick Clark’s duties as host. If I could pick a host it would be either Jimmy Kimmel, Neil Patrick Harris or Tom Bergeron, but since all three of them have day jobs I doubt they are available. Who do you think would be a good host for this show?
BTW I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that Bloopers is coming back to TV. I thoroughly enjoyed the show as a kid and I know I will enjoy it even more as an adult. Is it wrong of me that I love to watch people screw up?
HBO went on a cancelling spree and pulled the plug on Hung, Bored to Death and How to Make It in America according to Variety. Since I am one of the few people who barely watches HBO, the only show on that list (and network) I watched was Hung so I am sad to see it go. Although I can understand their decision because this season they changed up too many things and it didn’t work. Too bad we never to got to see how large his penis was as parting gift.
When it comes to Bored to Death, I am sure Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis are a little relieved they concentrate on their other projects without this one weighing them down.
Now that the red light is off on Hung, I can go back to not watching HBO until Aaron Sorkin’s new show comes on.

Newborn Connar was getting fussy as he napped, so the family cat Stewie used his paw to put the little guy back to sleep. I love the way that he soothes the baby back to dreamland like that. It is amazing how his instincts kicked like that. And I especially love the way that the declawed cat looks at his daddy to be like, I did good, right? Yes Stewie you did!
BTW I was shocked to find out the cat was a boy because I thought that would’ve been a maternal thing. Good to see parenting crosses genders with kitties!
Funny or Die is telling the story of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas in a way only they can…drunk! So sit back as an inebriated man tells the famous tale as Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes and Jim Carrey act it out!
BTW nice to see Jim Carrey actually play Santa Claus for once after starring as The Grinch and Eboneezer Scrooge.
