Patrick Nagel’s art comes to life in the animated ’80s police procedural comedy Moonbeam City on Comedy Central tonight at 10:30p, and it is anything but criminal.
Moonbeam City is safe city, mostly because of Dazzle Novak (Rob Lowe). He is one of their lead detectives who miraculously is able to solve crime. He is a bumbling, self-involved idiot, but things just seem to go his way in spite of himself. His arch nemesis is Rad Cunningham (Will Forte) and he will do anything to knock Dazzle down a few notches. As hard as he tries, it doesn’t work. Pizzaz Miller (Elizabeth Banks), is the tough chief, who has her work cut out for her with these two. Because of that she gives Dazzle an assistant, Chrysalis Tate (Kate Mara), to help him out and keep him under control. That doesn’t happen.
Each week they will try to keep Moonbeam City safe, which is hard to do because their antics make it dangerous.
Since I have been a fan of Nagel’s art since I was kid, I loved the show at first sight. Then as I watched the first three episodes, I loved it even more because it is so out there and naughty. Plus, there are so many brilliant lines throughout the episodes, you can’t help but to laugh uncontrollably. You will hear things come out of Lowe and Forte’s mouths, you never thought you would hear them say. In fact, even though you don’t see the actors, you can hear how much fun they are having with this outrageous show. And if they are enjoying it, then believe me, you are going to enjoy it just as much as them and me.
Wait until you see next week’s episode with a nice little tribute to Toto! Since Nagel’s art is a sign of the ’80s, the show is full of a lot of throwback references to the Me decade.
I like, almost everyone, was completely offended by Don Lemon holding up a card with the N-Word on it. So my way of not giving the CNN anchor the attention he wanted was to ignore it. But then Larry Wilmore took him to task on it on The Nightly Show yesterday, and it was so perfect I had to give Lemon the attention he wanted.
Seriously, imagine the poor intern who had to make up that sign. To that person, I say get out now. You’ve been part of one of TV news’ lowest moments. Yes, there is no where to go but up, but it is also a sign that things might sink even lower. I don’t want to know how, but Lemon will find a way. He always does.
Honestly, how are people more upset with Brian Williams’ lies over Don Lemon’s disgusting tactics. I don’t get it. To me everything Lemon does is so much worse than Williams.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nZnfqFEwx8 Yesterday, Donald Trump announced that he is running for President and every comedian and talk show host simultaneously had an orgasm. And leave it up to Jon Stewart and his Daily Show correspondents to actually show us how excited they are about the news.
Before we got to see that, and oh yes, yes, yes, it’s worth watching the whole thing to get the climax because we can all use a little foreplay. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Stewart talked about Trump’s announcement and his reaction is why we are going to all miss him in 6 weeks. Does he really have to go? Didn’t Trump’s announcement make him want to say?
Anyways with him going, and no one left of his caliber at Comedy Central, it looks like Seth Meyers could actually become our go to Political Humorist. His take on Trump’s announcement proves why NBC didn’t make a mistake when they gave him Late Night. Now that the race that’s about 16 months away is heating up, I hope he does more segments like this one because it was brilliant.
Trump isn’t the only person who said “I am running for President” and Conan O’Brien came up with a political ad for Jeb Bush that I am sure that Lincoln Chafee will approve of. Don’t know who Lincoln Chafee is, Google him!
Larry Wilmore had the week off and Jon Stewart asked him at the end of The Daily Show what he did with his time off. The Nightly Show host told him that he unplugged from the world and caught up on his favorite show, 19 Kids and Counting. After he said that Stewart tried to break the news to him, but Wilmore said, “It was just so nice to watch a show about a family with togetherness and good old fashioned values.” Then he added, “You know, I hope nothing happens that makes me recontextualize their closeness and isolation to something dangerous.”
Stewart once again tried to update him about the Duggars’ situation over the last week, but he just didn’t have the heart to do it. Jon could tell the TLC show touched Larry in a special place, and he didn’t want to do an alleged Josh Duggar and touch him there when he was unaware of what happening to him. Especially, since he is so young at this hosting job and Stewart’s the oldest one in the Comedy Central family. You have to respect him for refraining from his urges to do something so horrible like that and take away from Wilmore’s innocence. Right?
The Star Wars movie franchise is available on Digital HD for the first time today and R2D2 promoted the release on @midnight yesterday. Strange choice (although not really because their audience is the same as Star Wars’), but it works because they put words in his mouth that no one else would ever dare. And yes they went there with a joke about Hans Solo crashing into a golf course. To see if the comedians went even further than that, you can just have to watch.
The only negative, is Chris Hadwick didn’t offer any suggestions. What in beep and boop is that all about?
