Michael and Michael Have Issues Premieres Tonight!

michael_michael-1On Monday, COED was lucky enough to attend a screening of the new Comedy Central show “Michael & Michael Have Issues” with the stars Michael Black and Michael Showalter themselves.

The show has major potential, and tonight’s 10:30 p.m. ET/PT premiere on Comedy Central is definitely worth checking out!

Highlights from the first episode include a skit about high school virginity pacts and the skit about butterfly farts that you can view right here.

To give you a bit of background about “Michael & Michael Have Issues”, the show stars Black and Showalter in a new twist on narrative and sketch comedies that features the long-time comedic partners as the hosts of their own fictitious sketch show.

Behind-the-scenes of the show-within-a-show, viewers will get a first hand look at issues, both big (in an attempt to broaden their appeal, the guys turn their show into a frat house spectacle), and small (the two Michaels fight over the approval of a teenage intern writing an article about them for his high school newspaper) that the two misguided stars wrestle with as they confront their own issues of insecurity and jealousy as each attempts to undermine the other.

Tosh.0 Makes the Internet His B*tch

Daniel-Tosh-lead

Let’s face it – we’re addicted. Every single one of us. We’re addicted to ‘tweets’ and ‘blogs’ and cute f**king kittens. We’re addicted to staying in touch with everyone we’ve ever met (and plenty of people we’ve never met), to talking sh*t anonymously to strangers and laughing at other’s misfortune. And it’s high time somebody show this every-growing monstrosity called the Internet who’s the g*ddamn boss! Which is where Tosh.0 comes in. (more…)

horse-racing-wrecks-lead

No matter how you look at it, sports are dangerous. But add the element of harnessing the power of a 1000-pound beast that can freak out at the drop of a hat, and you’ve opened up a can of hurt on your ass you can’t even imagine. So in honor of this year’s Kentucky Derby, which airs Saturday, May 2nd at 5pm ET on NBC (post time – 6:04pm), we’ve put together the seven most horrific horse racing wrecks caught on tape. (more…)

Network TV is Dead

tv-dead-header1

Network TV has been dying for years, but in the 2008-2009 which ends this coming month, it finally croaked.  If some of you don’t care, well, no crap.  Did you check out Better Off Ted the other night?  Yeah, me either.

It didn’t used to be like this — networks rolling out dozens of new shows each year only to cancel them four episodes into their runs.  In 1953 — yep, I’m going way back — an episode of I Love Lucy aired that played on 71% of all television sets in the United States.  Just yesterday I heard that ABC is considering renewing Scrubs for a ninth season.  The percentage of television sets tuning into Scrubs in its eighth season?  3.5.

Say It Ain’t So! California to Ban HDTVs?

Big Brother is about to encroach on your living room. The California Energy Commission is proposing stricter energy-use rules by banning retailers from selling wide-screen TV sets 40 inches or higher. The Commission wants to reduce the strain on the states energy grid and avoid building new power plants because the amount of energy a TV uses is proportional to screen size.

The Consumer Electronics Commission is opposed to this plan because it would eliminate approximately 80 percent of all wide-screen digital TV sets, which would bring about massive job losses and a loss of approximately $50 Million in sales tax revenue. The regulations, if unopposed, are expected to be approved this summer.

Am I the only one who thinks this is one of the stupidest ideas ever proposed? I happen to enjoy HDTV. I like watching “Heroes” and having every image of Hayden Panettiere in bright, close up quality. The last time I checked America is about choice, if you don’t like HDTV’s then don’t buy one. What right do you have to tell me how big a TV I should have? The answer: you don’t. (more…)

“College Life” follows eight freshman and sophomore students — Josh, Alex, Lindsay, Andrea, Dan, Anna, Jordan and Kevin — attending school in Madison, Wisconsin. The students have been equipped with cameras and given a mission: film your College Life. The result is an intimate portrayal of the highs and lows of the experience, a no-holds barred, honest portrayal of life on campus. The academic and social pressures they face are real, as is the drama of lives that are being lived in real time. (more…)

The Girls of The Hills: Bikini Edition

the-hills-bikini-lead

For whatever reason, people still find it amazingly entertaining to watch hot rich people do stupid sh!t with their lives. But as a dude, getting through a whole episode can be kind of rough, sometimes. So instead of forcing you to sit through a bunch of episodes just to see Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad (oh yeah, and Lo and Stephanie Pratt, too) stripped-down and looking sexy, we’ve put together this bootylicious compilation of the superfly cast wearing only bikinis, like God intended.

Will Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Late Night’ Survive?

jimmy-fallon-cancelled-introTonight, Jimmy Fallon will take the stage in the first ever episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. And needless to say, he’s got a big task ahead of him – maybe too big.

Not only does he have to follow in the footsteps of comedic genius, Conan O’Brien to, he has to stop being such a humongous douchebag. Which is no easy task; Fallon’s douchiness runs deep and wide, from his spastic, laugh-at-his-own-jokes style to his asswipe hair, to just not being funny.

Of course he could still pull it off. Some insiders are saying he’s going to totally geek-out in an attempt to build a loyal fanbase and wash away some of the haters. So maybe we’re wrong, but if you ask us, the whole thing stinks of failure even before it gets out of the gate. (more…)
