Freaks and Geeks Ep 1.04 ‘Kim Kelly Is My Friend’ is a fantastic episode about Lindsay’s new friend
15 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Freaks and Geeks Season 1, Episode 4 ‘Kim Kelly Is My Friend’
Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter
Written by Mike White
Aired 9/5/2000 on Fox Family
It always boggles my mind that NBC never aired ‘Kim Kelly Is My Friend’ because of the ‘darker’ material surrounding Kim Kelly’s home life, because it’s such an important episode in establishing her character for the rest of the series. Written by Mike White (creator of Enlightened, and writer of Orange County and School of Rock), ‘Kim Kelly Is My Friend’ takes what’s been an archetype character to this point, and fills her out in three detailed and devastatingly poignant dimensions.
When the episode begins, Kim’s up to her usual antics, terrorizing freshman with her friend Karen (a young, particularly nasty Rashida Jones). Karen is shorter and slighter than Kim (and with dark hair), but she provides a mirror to judge Kim’s »

Style Lessons From Our Favorite Celebrity Moms
12 May 2013 4:56 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Moms are probably the most influential teachers in our lives. They teach us tangible things like how to tie our shoes, the proper way to hold a fork and how to sit up straight, but they also teach us things that aren't visible to the naked eye.
When it comes to fashion, our moms are also great sources of inspiration. (Raise your hand if you remember teetering around in your mother's high heels as a child!)
In celebration of Mother's Day, we are taking a look at a few famous mother-daughter duos, including Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson, to see what they can teach us when it comes to style.
It takes a special kind of woman to pull off mom jeans and a fanny pack.
Demi Moore and Scout and Rumer Willis
Buzzed is better.

Weeklings!: Coming Out to Mom
10 May 2013 4:27 PM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
This Mother’s Day, I’m helping your mother understand your gayness.
Mother’s Day is one of my favorite holidays, and not just because it’s a fun time to think about what Peggy Lipton and Rashida Jones talk about.
Great moms are the backbone of the gay community, and in this edition of Weeklings!, I’m offering help to moms whose sons have just come out to them. What should Mom say when her kid says he’s gay? Should she talk? Nod? Clap? Slowly walk away? I have all the right responses, or at least some tolerable wrong ones.

Amy Poehler Is Reportedly Dating Her Parks and Recreation Costar!
10 May 2013 5:55 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Amy Poehler has a new funny man in her life - comedian Nick Kroll. Us Weekly reports that Amy and Nick are dating, her first serious romance since she split from Will Arnett back in September. The pair were friends before she split with Will - Nick has been a longtime frequenter of Amy's Upright Citizens Brigade theater and he has guest starred on Parks and Recreation as shock jock "The Douche," who frequently hits on Amy's character Leslie Knope and Rashida Jones. Amy has also guest starred on Nick's show The Kroll Show. The pair haven't made any public confirmation of their new relationship, but before news of the romance hit, they were spotted on a date together in Santa Monica back in early April. »

Parks and Recreation: Season Six Renewal from NBC
9 May 2013 6:39 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
The peacock network has ordered a sixth season of Parks and Recreation. Thus far, it's the only comedy to be renewed by NBC this season.
Revolving around the parks department of fictional Pawnee, Indiana, Parks and Recreation has been on the air since April 2009. The current cast includes Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Jim O'Heir, and Retta.
Of all of the NBC comedies, Parks and Recreation was considered to be the only lock for renewal. Though its ratings are down year-to-year, the sitcom is one of the network's best comedy performers and currently averages a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.31 million viewers.
Parks co-creator Mike Schur joked about the renewal and said, "We finished season five, thought about skipping right to season seven, but NBC suggested we »

Pawnee Forever
9 May 2013 1:31 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Parks and Recreation" has been renewed, NBC has confirmed. Long live Pawnee!
The comedy, starring Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope, will return for a sixth season. With the series on the bubble, NBC's decision to renew "Parks and Recreation," which is beloved by viewers and critics alike, had the cast celebrating.
Nick Offerman, who plays Ron Swanson on the series, tweeted about NBC renewing "Parks and Rec."
NBC has yet to release information on the timeslot and number of episodes for "Parks and Rec" Season 6. The show's co-creator Mike Schur told HitFix earlier in May that he was "fairly confident" that "Parks and Rec" would be renewed. He said that he had written the finale to set things up for a sixth season rather than as a series finale.
Never a ratings champ, "Parks and Rec" has a solid and consistent audience, something the struggling NBC needs to keep around. »

Justin Bieber Visits The Simpsons
8 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
He’s been attacked on stage, on again and off again with Selena Gomez, but now, Justin Bieber is on The Simpsons. Hey, life gets busy when you’re an international super star. And getting animated is just one of the perks. We have him in ink.
World tour or none, we have it on good authority that Justin Bieber will be in Springfield this coming weekend. Bieber will play himself in Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons on Fox. The exclusive sneak peak came from EW. Hmm. Does today’s image really look like the superstar? I guess its difficult to capture the star’s hair in 2D.
Sunday’s episode is titled “The Fabulous Faker Boy”. It is scheduled to air on Fox at 8 Pm. “He tries to get into a talent show that Bart is playing piano in and they won’t admit him,” suggested The Simpsons executive producer, »

Initial reviews for Luhrmann's Gatsby mixed, but all agree Debicki shines
6 May 2013 10:32 PM, PDT | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
The first reviews of Baz Luhrmann.s highly anticipated The Great Gatsby are in - and most aren.t singing praise for the director.s interpretation of the American classic..
The adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald.s 1925 novel will open the Cannes Film Festival on May 13, but Us critics who have seen advance screenings of the film have so far been largely underwhelmed..
Luhrmann comes under fire in particular for drowning the story in what Variety.s Scott Foundas describes as a .visual circus...
As The Wrap.s Alonso Duralde notes in his review, .The Great Gatsby is an immortal American tragedy, but the story's impact gets completely buried in Luhrmann's flash and dazzle..
Foundas similarly writes, .Together with cinematographer Simon Duggan, he [Luhrmann] unleashes every manipulation he can think of . sepia flashbacks, smash zooms, split screens, superimpositions, period newsreel footage, new footage degraded to resemble period newsreel footage . all of »

Thursday night marked the end of another successful season of "Parks and Recreation" and although we now know Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott and more as lovable Pawnee citizens, they all came from humble (and hilarious) beginnings.

'Parks and Recreation' Season 5 finale: Who is pregnant?
3 May 2013 12:04 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The Season 5 finale of "Parks and Recreation," which aired Thursday night (May 2), was a busy affair that saw Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) face a growing opposition from the people of Pawnee, resulting in the creation of the Committee to Recall Leslie Knope. While the looming threat of a recall vote hangs heavy over the show as it awaits its return in the fall for (a still-unconfirmed) Season 6, it's the other cliffhanger we're buzzing about: The reveal of pregnant character.
At the start of tonight's episode, the entire parks department was gathered was Ron's (Nick Offerman) cabin to brainstorm for the upcoming Pawnee Founder's Week. Returning to retrieve a sweatshirt he left behind, Andy (Chris Pratt) discovered a positive pregnancy test in the trash (along with his sweatshirt, which he threw away, naturally). Remembering that Ann (Rashida Jones) has been trying to get pregnant, Leslie turned down a beer at the cabin, »

(Spoiler Alert: Read this post only After watching “Are You Better Off?,” the season 5 finale of Parks and Recreation, which aired Thursday night.) Season 4 of Parks and Recreation concluded on a note of triumph and sweetness as Leslie Knope proved victorious in her bid for a seat on the City Council. This year’s Macklin-daddy finale, though, ended with a… What. In. Ron’s. Name. Just. Happened? Yes, Ron Swanson — the man who values an abundance of meat and a lack of government above all else — will have to rearrange his priorities now that his girlfriend, Diane, is apparently carrying his child, »

The Best Moments of ‘Parks & Rec’ Season Five, By Character
2 May 2013 5:51 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
While its current season, coming to an end tonight with an episode entitled "Are You Better Off?," hasn't been the strongest of the now five-year run of "Parks and Recreation," it has had a collection of some monumental, sweet, and ridiculous moments. From Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Ben's (Adam Scott) wedding to Vice President Joe Biden's cameo to Jerry's (Jim O'Heir) retirement, to Ann (Rashida Jones) and Chris (Rob Lowe) deciding to have a baby, Pawnee has been the most interesting town in all of American TV this year. We still don't know if we're going to get another dose of Leslie and the gang next fall -- although with this season's 22-episode order and the looks of NBC's ratings, it seems likely. Until then we'll look back on some of the funniest, finest and most surprising moments of our favorite people from the parks department -- because honestly, »

Hulu upfronts: Exclusive art from Seth Meyers' 'The Awesomes,' plus Chris O'Dowd's 'Moone Boy' gets a premiere date
30 April 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
One of the first things Seth Meyers and Michael Shoemaker realized they had in common when they met at Saturday Night Live in 2001 was a love of comic books. They always thought it’d be fun to do an animated show for adults about superheroes, and around 2006, the idea for The Awesomes began to crystallize. But it didn’t become a reality until they found the 10-episode series a home at Hulu, where it will premiere Aug. 1 (after a planned screening and panel at Comic-Con in July). The story revolves around the greatest superhero team in history, The Awesomes, and »
