Review: Californication - Slow Happy Boys

(S03E05) - "Once upon a time's gotta count for something." - Zloz to Hank

Ah, the old friend from back home trick. It's been done so many times before in television. Remember when Rob's old Army buddy came to town in that one episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show or that one time when Don Rickles met up with his old pal Maxwell Smart on Get Smart? Those were some good times.

Imagine those episodes with a lot of hookers and copious amounts of beer, whiskey and vodka. Now they are twice as better, even if the hangover isn't as warm and friendly.

Zloz's one episode appearance felt like the makings of another "Guys Gone Wild" episode where the boys do some drinking, make with the smoking and then get into some fighting, but it turned into something much deeper and helped you appreciate the characters more for what they are. »

Don vs. Don: Rickles roasts Adams

16 October 2009 4:02 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

There are very few recurring television moments that instantly grab my undivided attention: seeing an undead Billy Mays still pitching Oxy-Clean, Twilight Zone episodes that pwn Nazis, late night Skinemax.

Now you can add Don Rickles to that list. He's become a staple of late night during the early Tonight Show because he's engaging, colorful and damn funny. Every time he stops in at Letterman's Late Show, I have to stop what I'm doing and watch and that includes running a pregnant friend to the hospital, although it does ruin some of the comedy for me. All that screaming.

He's also great at roasts, not because he's a great insult comic but because he can be just as down to Earth and genuine with the people he's skewering. His best roast is one that never made it to television: a roast of Get Smart's Don Adams at the Playboy Mansion. »

Just for Laughs Chicago: Wrangling the Free-Wheelin’ Andy Dick

20 June 2009 2:43 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Andrew R. “Andy” Dick is one of the most brilliantly infamous and misunderstood comic forces in the last twenty years. Appearing at Superstation TBS “Just for Laughs” Festival in Chicago, he combined farce, music and pure Andy in his show.

Andy Dick is very, very calm in Chicago on June 19, 2009

Photo credit: Joe Arce of Starstruck Foto for HollywoodChicago.com During a rollicking interview with HollywoodChicago.com, Dick went over his career and philosophy, between bouts of singing Edie Brickell songs (”Where is she now?” he wondered, before speculating about her work on a part of Paul Simon’s anatomy).

HollywoodChicago.com: Your bio indicates that you moved around a lot as a kid. What area of the country most influenced your ever-evolving style of performance?

Andy Dick: Besides the first one, from Connecticut to Pennsylvania, which hurt and was emotionally jarring, the one that cracked my head »

'Dark Knight' is the People's Choice, But So is '27 Dresses'

8 January 2009 12:00 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Damn, I forgot the People's Choice Awards was last night. I missed the excitement as 27 Dresses was named the year's Favorite comedy. Not Tropic Thunder, mind you, or even In Bruges, Role Models, or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. No, that would've meant those films were nominated. And they weren't.

Mysteriously, even though Thunder outperformed 27 Dresses at the box office - the real people's choice - it wasn't even nominated over the very middling Katherine Heigl comedy. Its competition was Get Smart and Mamma Mia!, two other movies that significantly outworked it financially, which again, would be how people would normally vote for such a thing.

See, this is why the People's Choice Awards frustrates me. Well, this and Rascal Flatts being named Favorite Band. Ugh. Remind me not to let People's Choice voters make me a mix CD. »
