Rob and Big: Retired From Doing Work...Son

So the show that brought you a 400 pound black guy, a lovable bulldog, and a pro-skater hopped up on a little too much redbull, is now over. In the words of Tina Fey...really? I was a little choked up when I heard the news and nothing helps you get over the sadness of losing one of your favorite shows like guest blogging on your sisters entertainment blog.

This show was truly a breath of fresh air from all of the garbage that is spewing out of MTV studios these days. Rob and Big brought smiles to everyone faces and gave us a glimpse at the good life. No, no, no, I'm not talking about living in LA and driving a Denali on 24s. I'm talking about spending every day doing what you love with the your best friends and letting the world get snapshot of what it's like to be you.

Thanks to Rob Dyrdek and Christopher "Big Black" Boykin, my Tuesday nights and the Tuesday nights of countless others were filled with laughter. Their show was real, their shenanigans were hilarious, and the doodoo jokes were plentiful. This is the first MTV show that I will truly miss, but I'm happy that Big Black will be showing his new daughter how to do work...on the playground.

Coming Back In The Future

Just got off the phone with my friend Liz. We like to gab about TV and today we spoke about what shows we're looking forward to in 2008. Here's the short list:

• Real World/Road Rules - The Gauntlet: I have my money on Coral. I don't even know if she's playing. She could win from afar. Just like Tanya. I bet she's phoning this one in. I tried to look up online to see what exotic locale the show is in this time but no such luck. They've been to South Africa, Australia, and all over the Caribbean but every set looks identical. They probably film all of them on a sound stage in Hollywood. If they really wanted to give these people a run for their money, they'd shoot in Dubai or Beirut.
  

• Lost - I've decided to commit and watch the back half of season 3 on DVD just so I can catch up with this show. I have a feeling it's going to be really big this time.
  

• The L Word: This is a short clip with the cast and producers talking about season five. To say I am geeked out about the whole thing an understatement. Apparently some changes to this season include more group interaction, Bette and Tina possibly getting back together and more sex. I don't know if I can handle pay-cable and all of this sex. Between Tell Me You Love Me, The Tudors and The L Word I am just getting worn out and they make me look pervy. I am not weird, I just like good TV.
  

• Rob & Big: Say what you will about the guys but I wish I were friends with them. Their show is just as scripted as all of the MTV stuff but it's a lot funnier.
  

• Prison Break: I kind of forgot what's happening but hopefully it will all come back to me. Something about Panama, guards, shanks, tunnels. Same old, same old.
