Conan O'Brien and the Duck

This has to be one of the most eccentric things I have ever seen in my entire life.This was odd because if there was anyone I would have expected to eat its own feces, it would be Triumph The Insult Comic Dog.

Mind of Mencia lacks any Creativity

Let me be as frank as I can be: this show is a catastrophe. All Mencia does in this show is make racist jokes that are asinine, but not facetious. There is a sketch in Mind of Mencia where Carlos plays a news anchor which is an exact copy of one of Dave Chappelle's skits. Carlos attempts to emulate Dave Chappelle, but he fails miserably. Mencia's brand of "comedy" is as unoriginal as Carson Daly. Believe it or not, Carson is significantly funnier that Carlos. I would rather watch Last Call that the abomination known as Mind of Mencia. Carlos Mencia is like listening to nails on a chalkboard; he is more loud and obnoxious than Rosie O'Donell. What the hell was Comedy Central thinking? I cannot believe Mind of Mencia is being utilized to supersede the Chappelle show. People should be offended by Carlos Mencia because both he and his show are egregious.

Mad Men is Madly Entertaining

Mad Men is a show based on some precocious and cunning cigarette advertisers. The show takes place in New York during the 1960s and is made from one of the creators of the Sopranos. It is bleak and intricate, but it is oddly engrossing. Sexual tension is littered throughout the entire show, and there is transparently different stereotypes for both males and females. Males are perceived to be a much more dominant breed than their female counterparts. This is especially accentuated in the workplace when a male employee derides a female secretary.It seems like no expense was spared because all the characters in Mad Men are dressed professionally in business attire. Ironic, how people advertising cigarettes work for a company called Lucky Strike. Mad Men is simultaneously humorous and dramatic; it explores the perverse side of advertising.

Burn Notice: A Perfect Blend

I have been recently watching this show called Burn Notice, and I must say it is amazing. It has a perfect blend of action and comedy. This show accentuates what transpires to spies when they are "fired." When secret agents are fired, they are not given a pink slip from the boss. Someone puts a burn notice on them.

Burn Notice is based on an undercover agent named Michael Westen, who is abruptly blacklisted. He is discarded in Miami with his bank accounts frozen and lacks his possessions.
Mr. Westen flounders to situate his existence back together and meticulously attempts to discover why he is being burned. Furthermore, Michael utilizes his distinctive abilities and preparation to assist civilians that are unable to go to the authorities.
