Swearing Allowed On TV Again
On July 14, 2010 at 8:36 am
From the L.A. Times: The Federal Communications Commission’s indecency rules, which put limits on language and content in broadcast television programming, have been tossed by a federal appellate court. A three-judge panel of the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York called the regulatory agency’s indecency regulations “unconstitutionally vague and chilling.” The ruling was in [...]
Captain Phil’s Final Voyage (VIDEO)
On at 7:48 am
Captain Phil Harris of the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, as of last night, has sailed his last voyage on the choppy seas that are the television airwaves. Owing to unforeseen complications brought on from a stroke, the 53-year old mariner spent his last moments early February in the Providence Medical Center of Alaska. Whatever you [...]
The Tonight Show – With Plugs Biden!
On July 13, 2010 at 7:33 am
Jobs Biden made an appearance on the Tonight Show last Friday – try though he did, he just couldn’t emulate Obama’s flair for being on TV. Hope he wouldn’t blurt out something classified was at an all-time high around these parts, but we’re pleased to say he did even better. He extolled the virtues of [...]
American Idol Lowers the Audition Age to 15
On July 11, 2010 at 2:56 am
Great news, all you 15-year-old conservatives who read Parcbench: you may not be old enough to vote against Obama in the next election, but you could still become the American Idol. I know, it’s not much of a trade-off, but at least if you win you have a platform to promote your enlightened politics, so [...]
Rachel Maddow’s High School Yearbook Photo!
On July 8, 2010 at 6:48 pm
Yes, that is Rachel Maddow below and don’t deny it, she’s not bad lookin’ at all! It’s said that some people are just late bloomers; that guys who get slammed into lockers in high school need to “man up,” as it were, and wait a while. If eating seconds and bulking up doesn’t work, then [...]
The 2010 Primetime Emmy Nominations (LOOOOOOONG, but No Spoilers)
On at 10:42 am
OK, so we all know that on every other website you can find a list of the nominations in the most “important” categories, but here at Parcbench we thought we’d let the ridiculous speak for itself by simply presenting you with the ENTIRE list of nominations and categories. A “Best Commercial” Emmy? Seriously, Hollywood? What [...]
Bravo TV’s “Work Of Art” = Piece O’ Crap
On July 7, 2010 at 7:15 am
Somewhere Andy Warhol is laughing out loud. Somewhere Cezanne and Rembrandt are crying. And I’m getting in line to buy anything of artist Miles Mendenhall’s that I can afford. In spite of this show, I am enthusiastic about this guy’s future as an artist. For anyone who feels that art is in the eye of [...]
Jeremy London files for an injunction against his mother: Mum’s not the word
On June 30, 2010 at 10:57 pm
You remember Jeremy London, don’t you? He was on the TV show “Party of Five.” Apparently, life hasn’t been a party since then though. You may have heard that 2 weeks ago he was allegedly kidnapped at gun point by Brandon Adams who forced him to do drugs. (London is a former drug addict). London [...]
The Office Without Carell? It’ll Be Hard (That’s What She Said!)
On at 7:06 am
Okay, I’m admittedly slow in appreciating certain pop culture phenomena. It was only a few months ago that I started watching both the British and American versions of The Office on Netflix. Having seen every episode of the British show and the first five seasons of the American one, I am convinced this is some [...]
The CBS Atlas Finally Shrugs
On at 6:43 am
CNN will have to look somewhere else for a breath of life support, because they sure as hell ain’t getting it off Katie Couric’s oxygen machine. On account of excessive floundering in the ratings box, Larry “The Divorce” King is being shuffled to a part-time position. With his 8PM EST slot up for grabs, the [...]
Will Alex Trebek Now Go Yachting With T-Pain?
On June 24, 2010 at 1:43 pm
There is little I can add to this video. (WARNING – gag alert)
Maddow Calls Potential GOP Majority a Result of “Buyer’s Remorse”
On at 7:46 am
Recently on her MSNBC show, liberal pundit Rachel Maddow called the reaction of all American’s new support for the Republican Party a “buyer’s remorse”. After playing a long line of republican leaders stating their hopes, she immediately downgraded the option that Americans were waking up to see what real party was after the America they [...]
What Else Can Hollyweird Give The Axe?
On June 20, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Yes, it’s time again to play everyone’s favorite game show and pick from the – albeit promising – ratings bombs of summer. One series comes to mind; unfortunately, it’s one I’ve been watching since it premiered. I’m not pleased. To think I was just beginning to get into Happy Town. If some of you don’t [...]
‘This is The Political Equivalent of Wetting Yourself & Blaming The Republicans’ – Jon Stewart (video)
On June 19, 2010 at 11:19 am
It’s rather ironic, yet beyond welcome, that the most unbiased reporting in America seems to be streaming from Comedy Central.
Jersey Shore’s “The Situation” makes a record
On June 17, 2010 at 7:03 am
Isn’t it about time for a William Hung comeback? I mean seriously, if “The Situation” can put out a fist-pumping single, imaginatively titled “The Situation” – why not? The Situation, of course, is Mike Sorrentino, the “Jersey Shore” star whose sole talent, prior to auto-tuning his way into music history, has been constantly flashing his [...]
Six Sex Scandals We’d Like to See
On at 6:57 am
It seems like juicy sex scandals are popping up all over the major news sites in the past few weeks. We asked the Parcbench writing crew what sex scandals they’d like to see. Barack Obama: While Barack Obama was high on cocaine and weed in college, he made a sex tape that has recently leaked. [...]
