...which makes this episode that much more confusing. Yeah, we're excited for the September 16 premiere of season six, too.

I saw the video on Reddit. Did Geekadelphia make the video?

Possibly as a savvy PR move, possibly because he thought "When the hell else am I going to be able to stand next to Penthouse pet Ryan Keeley in her bra and panties?" M. Night Shyamalan parodies Devil. And hey! It's that guy from Avatar! RELATED >> Listen to an audience react to M. Night Shyamalan's name h/t Vulture

My favorite part of this trailer for Teach: Tony Danza — the A&E reality show that followed Danza as he taught English at Northeast High last year — is when he says, "Where I come from, I'm pretty popular but that's not gonna help me here." Is he referring to Hollywood? Ah yes, when your last movie role was in The Nail: The Story of Joey Nardone — aka, the shitty movie Tony Luke, Jr. made — I don't think that means you are particularly popular anywhere. It's a genius idea, really: Have someone whose entire career is predicated on playing sub-literates teach English class. To the students of Northeast High, I think I speak for the entire city of Philadelphia: Sorry... Teach: Tony Danza premieres Fri., Oct. 1 at 10 p.m. on A&E.

Amazing, typical "Ghetto" NE Irish style...trash anyone that demonstrates education or wealth (excluding Philly sports teams).  I wouldn't be too concerned about Tony Danza screwing up the lives of those kids in that school because the poor low life, Budweiser drinking, white trash parents of the NE already did the job!!  You should be honored to have him teach at that slum of a school.  LOL!!!

Wow. Maybe the best song off TLRx's The Brutalist Bricks gets real actual video treatment. Directed by Tom Scharpling. Starring Paul F. Tompkins, Julie Klausner and John Hodgman. Ted Leo hinted on his site recently that a "major paradigm shift" was in the works...

From the department of Things That Make Me Sad/Laugh: NBC's awesome mockery of my job, FCU: Fact Checkers Unit, debuts three new digital episodes today at factcheckersunit.com. The web series is based on the "adventures" of a fact-checking crack team at made-up celebrity mag Dictum, who diligently check every article for accuracy before it goes to print (just like City Paper!) while wearing awesome FCU suits (I usually just put on a cardigan and my reading glasses). The opening of the ep "Paranormal Factivity," with appearances by Kristen Schaal and Luke Perry, sets up the team for a mission to prove that the 90210 dreamboat's house is, indeed, haunted. Click the link above to watch all three videos, or go here to take NBC's fact-checking entry exam.

There are so many awesome female comedians out there right now and it's sickening to see them NOT get their fair share of the attention. I'd even go as far as saying that the current batch of female comics is BETTER than the male. 

Here's the 4 TOP CURRENT COMEDIENNES:
