So remember on How I Met Your Mother when Barney Stinson said that Daniel was really the villain in The Karate Kid, and we thought it was funny? Well, J Matthew Turner tested out that theory and maybe, Stinson was on to something.
The producers lead us to believe that Daniel was the good guy because he has as a baby face and seemed like the underdog. He might not have been. Studly Johnny wasn’t doing anything wrong until that new kid came to town and then everything seemed to go wrong for him.
So it was all Daniel’s fault, he was the bad guy.
Now, I am going to watch the movie again and I will be team Johnny. Are you still Team Daniel or did you change your mind too? Dang you J Matthew Turner!
UPDATE: Ralph Macchio‘s response to the video is perfect. He Tweeted, “Best part of “who is real bully of KK?” viral vid is the fact that everyone still cares more than 31 years later! #Relevant #Legacy #Gift” And we will still be talking about it 31 years from now.
Steve Harvey asked the contestants on Family Feud, “Name something that a camel has that a person could also have?” Well of the 100 people that the game show asked, 7 of them said toe. Yet not one of the 10 contestants guessed that answer. How? It is the most obvious one. Right?
Judging by their reaction, it is obvious why none of them got it. Their shock and horror is only matched by Harvey’s excitement. Which I guess makes it all that much better that none of them guessed it.
And talking about exciting, Family Feud is back with a whole new season on September 14th. So mark your calendars now because you never know what is going to happen on this game show. You just know it is going to be good.
Switched at Birth is back on ABC Family tonight at 8p for the second part of its fourth season and there is a lot of change going on. As you have seen in the promos, there is surprise pregnancy coming up. That isn’t the only thing that is happening, Lea Thompson previewed what is coming up for her character Kathryn Kennish.
The Kennishes have always been wealthy and lived a lavish lifestyle, but they will be having some financial difficulties this season. John has always been the breadwinner in the family, but that is all about to change. That role reversal is going to put a strain on their marriage. That isn’t the only problem they are going to have because of their money issues. Thompson explained, “I think it’s going to be a real strain on our marriage because Kathryn and especially John are used to kind of being mama and papa bear, so kind of just like throwing money at problems and we’re not going to be able to do that anymore.”
The role reversal is because Kathryn has gone through a metamorphous since the show debuted. She went from being a stay at home mom to a successful author. Thompson explained, “My character ends up being as kind of awesome surprising Renaissance woman. You think she’s kind of shallow at first and she doesn’t seem that complicated.” Then she added, “She’s a woman of great perseverance and talent.”
A talent she learned for the role is Sign Language. Anyone who has learned a language later in life (as in after you graduate), knows it is a talent. She told me what it was like to learn to talk with her hands. She said, “It’s really difficult in a lot of ways but really beautiful because you realize like in any language there’s a lot of ways to say one thing.” Even though it is difficult to learn, she finds it exciting and wishes she knew it better.
She told me that she thinks people tune in every week to see the cast talk in this beautiful language. As an actress, she enjoys being able to talk with her hands for once. She explained, “When you’re acting, you’re told to kind of keep your arms down which actually feels really handicap because a lot of time when you’re excited, you want someone to understand, you use your hands to help them understand.” Then she elaborated, “So it’s fun to have that freedom to use your hands.”
Not only did she learn the language, she learned about their culture. What surprised her most is, “there’s a whole bunch of deaf people that, if today, a fairy godmother could give them hearing, they wouldn’t do it, but they appreciate being deaf.” Sharing that, “They see it as not a handicap but an actual blessing, virtue. That never would have occurred to me, not in a hundred years.”
As of now that is something that the drama has not touched upon, but there is so much more that it has. It has helped us to hear what it is like to be deaf, and they are just like you and me. Deafness is just one aspect of this show, and there is always a reason to tune it. There are laughs, there are tears, and there is always something entertaining about Switched at Birth. So make it appointment viewing because it has definitely earned that title.
Joe Jonas shared a photo of himself behind bars? So has the former child star followed the same path like those who’ve come before him? Nope, his reputation is still safe because he was just visiting Alcatraz. But if he ever pulls a Bonaduce (sorry Danny Bonaduce, I respect how much you have cleaned up your act!), then we know what he will look like in prison.
Tonight at 9:30p on The CW’s The Significant Mother Jonathan Silverman is reunited with his Weekend at Bernie’s co-star Terry Kiser. The two men recreate a moment that looks a lot like a scene from their 1989 legendary movie. Not only will we get to see them working together again, I am sure we will be laughing just as hard.
If you have never seen The CW sitcom tune in tonight for a show that has you laughing from the beginning until the end of the episode. It is unlike anything else on television which is a good thing on its own, but the humor makes it even better. Then once you’ve enjoyed the show, you can watch the first few episodes on The CW app. This way you can find out how Jimmy (Nathaniel Buzolic) started hooking up with his best friend and roommate Nate’s (Josh Zuckerman) recently seperated mother (Krista Allen). Silverman is Nate’s dad and still thinks he has a chance of getting his wife back. Like I said, there is nothing else like it on television.
