Of course, I’m either late to the party (no pun intended) or the network execs hate me as they always have in the past. But these two hilarious shows deserve your time. Find ‘em on-line and give ‘em a shot.
Check Netflix Watch It Now for the first and Hulu for the latter. BOT is still lacking 2 episodes that have never aired, apparently. I hate to use the ol’ “if you like this, you might like that” but if you dig Arrested Development, you might enjoy Ted. As for Party Down, it has a great cast with a lot of Veronica Mars regulars, but you’ll also see “Bill” from the BEST SHOW EVERFreaks & Geeks, as well as Jane Lynch and a host of fantastic cameos such as JK Simmons.
Both of these are great shows that go in the “Brilliant But Canceled” category. Watch ‘em!
It’s basically the same thing only WAY funnier and the leads have much more chemistry.

Of course we love Kristin Bell, and we’re even quite fond of Amy Adams, but these two recent rom-coms are amazingly disappointing. And hey, at least Roman Holiday actually TAKES PLACE in Rome.
You’re welcome, loyal readers. The GUiDE is just here to help. Please take advantage of the countless hours we have spent enduring poorly made romances and take advantage of our suggestions for time better spent.
The GUiDE could not be more excited about the first release in five long years from our very favorite band, Teenage Fanclub. Shadows will be out June 8 Stateside, and judging by the first single, “Baby Lee,” the Fannies are in fine form. Again. As always. Click here to download the single for free from the marvelous Merge Records site.
While I’m not sure this is absolutely the best way to showcase the teaming of two of the best and most unique voices in pop music, I have always had a soft-spot for this one. Maybe I like the message (you know how I’m a sucker for a little positivity) or maybe it’s just nostalgia, but either way, here it is on our list.
Don’t hurt yourself trying to come up with some cynicism here, just feel nice about things for 3 min 51.
I always do after hearing Al & Annie.
Watch this one instead. Twice:
