Friends has ended a long time ago, but we can be safe to say that whenever there´s a rerun on out TV we stop and watch and laugh with it like it´s the first time.
So, now that I´ve created a Pinboard dedicated to honor the memory of Friends. Let´s also review the ten things we miss the most about Friends. And head to the comments to add more things you miss about it. Continue reading
All of us who grew in the nineties, and started our TV sites on the new century did it in great part, because of this show: Friends, one of the best, if not THE best sitcom ever.
And now that Warner Bros. Pictures is proud to announce the release of Friends: The Complete Series Blu-Ray Box Set November 13th 2012; Continue reading
Last week I did a list of the best TV Bromances, and promised a new list coming soon, so, now is the day for a new one. In this case, I´m bringing a list of the best fake shows on TV series. Some are shows withn shows, and some are just inventions that are so funny that cannot get out of this list.
Of course I forgot some, and of course I did not put one that you think is a can´t be missing. Please, help me get it right when commenting.
You know how there´s always a Robin to every Batman, right? Well, at least that´s the case for Television heroes and not-so-heroes.
And now I will be listing, totally biased by my own opinion I might add, the top fifteen sidekicks on TV.
There are some that are going to be left out for a variety of reasons. Either Continue reading
Folks at WebDesingSchoolGuide.com did a great list of 10 TV Shows That Were Defined By Their Cities, and I think they were short on that list. So I´m taking on to expand it with five more, even though there are a whole bunch more
As they put it, A good way to tell how big a role a given city plays in a TV show is to imagine the story taking place somewhere else.
Well, this list is all about those shows that if moved, would´ve lost their mojo.
There is no city in the world where this could have taken place in. Oh Manhattan, you and your yellow taxis, you and Danny DeVito, Andy Kaufmann, Christopher Lloyd. Luckily for us, it took place in NY and we managed to see it 5 full seasons.
Not only David Simon was the showrunner for one of the best written series ever, he led a very close to hometown relationship between the stories and the city.
It´s not Sex and any city… it´s sex and NY. Put those four ladies anywhere else in the planet, and it just wouldn´t cut it.
A city that moves so fast makes nostalgia a rare thing. Well, Mad Men has a sixties New York in a great fashion.
Ok, Neptune, California does not exist, but the city very much existed in the show, and was very well painted.
The Simpsons is a family that we all sit and watch, but the show is not about them, it´s about the whole city. Springfield at its best
The characters, the places, the style, the humour. It was all NY
Ok, there is no Hellmouth in NY, there´s no Hellmouth in Paris. There is one (there was one) in Sunnydale. So, the great Joss Whedon set the show there.
Just on the brink of renewal to be announced next tuesday, from the accents to the moonshiners, the show is defined by its Southern quirks, and it wouldn’t be the same anywhere else.
Another vintage city. Just try to make this show elsewhere… picture it in your mind… can´t happen
From Joey Tribbiani´s raving madness about the Yankees, to the Central Perk cafe; the show was New York. No wonder Joey in LA didn´t work
Ok, it´s in the name you can say. Sure, but itps more than that, it´s how the city becomes a character that fascinates us about this show. It also has Jennifer Beals BTW.
Move the gang elsewhere. Not possible, right? Right
Maybe it´s sailed away from the city a little in this past couple of seasons, but the show started very much tied to Seattle, and I am a sucker for the early days of Grey, you know, when Lizzie and O´Malley were BFF´s
Michael Westen cannot leave Miami. And why would he? The show is awesome and Miami makes it even better
First of all, it´s Dexter, so it should be on every list of any best thing on TV.
Other than that, where else we could see those storylines and characters? Laguerta, Batista? Miami is Dexter
What did you think about these shows who owe their mojo to a city? Let me know in the comments section.
Also, remember to follow me on Twitter for more of these lists.

So… how do you like Joey Tribbiani method to seduce women?
Ok, Hugh Laurie was credited as The Gentleman in the Plane, but for any well trained House Fan eye, the similarities between this special guest appearence on Friends and what became six years later the most famous prime time TV Doctor are remarkable.
The Episode was called The One with Ross´Wedding part two, and it involves a conversation between Rachel (Jennifer Anniston) and Hugh Laurie about her going to stop Ross´wedding.
Don´t remember it?
