Television

It should be noted that a Willie McCovey bobblehead is staring at me from my desk, so in no ways can I pretend to be impartial in regards to Showtime's upcoming series The Franchise: A Season With The San Francisco Giants. The good thing is I don't need to pretend when there are amazing clips like this one of Brian Wilson explaining his new battle cry "Got Heeeem". If it wasn't for my love of all thing Beach Boys, I'd want Wilson to legally change his name to "Papa's Feeling Pretty Delicious". Wait, maybe I should do that. Is that copyright infringement? Any lawyers out there feel free to chime in. The Showtime series premieres Wednesday, July 13th at 10PM.

As of this writing it is officially fourty seven days until the return of what is unquestionably one of the best shows on television, Breaking Bad. Naturally it's creeping in to heavy promo time which leads us to the official trailer for the fourth season of the AMC drama. From the looks of it Heisenberg still has great taste in hats, Jesse is ready to get serious and lots of people are going to walk around with a gun drawn. Sign me up.

The Vince Gilligan run show returns Sunday July 17th so it won't be too long before we can all finally find out whether Gale was actually shot or Jesse just has really bad aim.

This video is from last week but damn if it doesn't overflow with awesome, hence the delayed posting. The awesomely named and completely insane, in the best way possible, World Series champion Brian Wilson appeared on The George Lopez Show dressed as a boat captain. The whole thing comes off a bit more like one of Will Ferrell's amazing visits to Conan except for the fact that the person playing Conan is incredibly uncomfortable and has at the very least an army of militant frogs in his throat. That being said Wilson plays the part beautifully and frankly fills the bit with so many zingers that there's not even one that stands out I can reference here.

As a warning there is some Guy Fieri at the end as Lopez and Wilson do a Minute To Win It bit where they swing bananas between their legs. Yes it is as lame as it sounds.

Also how many guests does George Lopez have a night? 13?

Hopefully you've all had the chance to check out HBO's awesome Boardwalk Empire, but even if that's yet to tickle your fancy there is still some awesome behind the scenes stuff in this video. Basically it's just a clip of some of the work done by Brainstorm Digital for the show's first season featuring before and after shots that are kind of mind blowing when you think about it. And all this time I thought there was a cool enough boardwalk they cleaned up, silly me.  The good thing is I'm now convinced more than ever I can film that intergalactic epic I've been working on entirely in my bedroom, except for the sex scenes of course. Mom doesn't allow that.  [via vulture]
