How many of us wish we had neighbors that are as caring as our family? Tonight at 10p on NBC, The Village is the story of one building in Brooklyn where the residents are just that.
Enzo (Dominic Chianese) used to live in The Village, but his son thought his aging dad would be better off in a nursing home. Sarah (Michaela McManus) works there and she also lives in the building. She has arranged it so that one of her patients, Nick (Warren Christie) will get to live there too. He recently came back from Afghanistan where he lost his leg. When Nick goes to move in, he is greeted by the friendly super and bar owner, Ron (Frankie Faison), who welcomes him with open arms. As they are talking, cops come to arrest Ava (Moran Atias) because they say that she forged her immigration documents. Her neighbor Ben (Jerod Haynes) is a cop and tries to vouch for her during the arrest. It does not work. Ron calls his wife, who is a social worker, to help out. She calls their neighbor Gabe (Darren Kagasoff), who is in law school, and asks him to be her lawyer. He says he cannot help her because he hasn’t graduated, but that won’t stop Enzo’s grandson from helping out. And we come full circle.
Enzo’s friend/roommate passed away. When he gets one that he does not like, he asks Sarah to help him get rid of the new guy. She has problems of her own. Her teenage daughter, Katie (Grace Van Dien), who she had as a teenager, is pregnant. It takes a village to raise a child and Katie is going to have just that. Especially, since Enzo asks his grandson if he can move in with him and his girlfriend, and Gabe says yes.
Those are just a few of the stories that take place in this building where the neighbors actually care about each other.
The World is full of heartless people these days, so we need shows with heart. The Village is just that. To me, it is up there with New Amsterdam in that department. All heart and no bull. It is not a procedural where we have to solve the mystery of the week. It is not a superhero show where they have to save the day every week. It is not a medical show where they make us think we have an incurable disease every week. It is just a show about family helping each other out. Don’t we need more shows like this on television? Watch so we can get more of this than the scare of the week. I promise you will adore it as much as me and my cat.
Celebrities like Roseanne, Mary Carey, Gary Coleman, Clay Aiken and Cynthia Nixon have run for political office and lost. While Pia Zadora, I am sure, is hoping to be more like Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, Al Franken and Fred Grandy and win a position in the government.
That is because today, the actress tweeted, “The other big excitement is the presidential race. I’m thinking of running. True If I won I’d have to move into a smaller house but it does have one benefit. If I won first thing I’d to is pardon myself. So here’s to Pia in 2020. #piaforpresident #piazadora.”
Would you vote for the Las Vegas singer? She would be the sexiest president to ever set foot in the Oval Office if she won. She could make it a law that we have to watch her film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians every Christmas and sing The Clapping Song as our National Anthem. I am OK with that. Sorry Beto O’Rourke and Amy Klobuchar, she has my vote now.
When it comes to why she would have to pardon herself, she was arrested in 2013 on suspicion of domestic battery on her son.
You know, if she just wants the pardon, she could just ask Trump to give her one. On that note, if she won, she would not be the first Razzie winner to ever hold the job. She won 2 Razzie Awards in 1982 for her role in Butterfly. Another reason to vote for her.
Last week, Mama June was arrested for allegedly being in possession of crack-cocaine along with her boyfriend, Geno Doak. Today, the Macon County Sheriff’s department in Alabama released her mugshot. In the photo, she is giving a snarl that Elvis Presley and Billy Idol would be envious of.
We also learned more details about the arrest. Montgomery Real-Time News says that the couple was fighting in the car and Doak was threatening to kill her when cops arrived. When the officers were looking inside the car, that is when they reportedly found the drugs and the paraphernalia.
The couple was very civil with the police officers and told them they were out all night at the greyhound track, casino, and hotel in Shorter, Al. In fact, as the cops were taking them away, they said that they were lovey with each other.
Then at the station, they were very well behaved and she made the staff laugh. Sheriff Andre Brunson said he did not know who the couple was at the time of their arrest, so he was surprised by all the phone calls he got about them. Don’t expect to learn too much about their arrest, the sheriff believes in giving them the same privacy he gives everyone else who comes his way.
I have a feeling Mama June will not serve any jail time because this is her first arrest.
Over the weekend, I was playing board games with a friend, and I missed out on the newest app Scream Go Hero. It is really simple. The game is like the old Mario Bros one, but you use your voice to control him instead of a joystick.
Not only do you sound stupid, but you also look even stupider playing it. Don’t believe me? Watch Jimmy Fallon and The Roots scream their way across the game on The Tonight Show yesterday. Now, that you know how dumb you look, go play SGH. You know you want to because it is like totally awesome! I can’t stop laughing at myself and you will be doing the same.

Let’s be honest with each other, it is always fun to be the person scaring others as compared to being scared. It is even funnier to scare toddlers because they do that funny wobble as they run away. It is very wrong to do, but it still feels so right.
Kyoot put together 10 minutes of people jumping out of their diapers as something shocking surprises them. My stomach is hurting me from laughing so hard.
My favorite one is the boy in the backseat of the car, who gets so terrified after someone jumps out from behind him that he tries to run away, but he can’t because he is strapped down. Which one made you chuckle the hardest?
