Can’t wait until The State DVD comes out on July 14 (my birthday, so if you were wondering what to get me…)? You should probably check out 17 Again. Wait, bear with me — so the concept’s not novel, and, uh, it’s geared toward preteens, but if Zac Efron shirtless doesn’t draw you in (WHY WOULDN’T IT?), go for the unheralded hilarity of supporting players Thomas Lennon (a State alum) and Melora Hardin (The Office) — they top my Must List this week. Lennon’s gleeful charm as Efron’s nerd-in-arrested development best friend goes perfectly with Hardin’s straitlaced high school principal. Just wait until they learn they’re both fluent in Elvish — it’s a match made in comic-book store heaven.
Watch this deadpan interview with Lennon below, check out the latest episode of Must List Live, then share your own Must List picks with us. List up to three items from current TV/movies/music/books/games/online. Don’t forget your e-mail address, in case we decide to use your submission in the magazine. Deadline is Thursday, April 23 at noon ET.
Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel. They are the best and funniest girls in NYC. The only reason to watch. Now if Jill would only give me that 16000 handbag she got…..
‘Chuck’ is on my Must List. Ben Silverman will be on another kind of list if this show is not renewed.
PS – I’m kidding. But seriously.
“Secret Identities: The Asian American Super Hero Anthology” from The New Press. It’s fun to see a whole new Super Hero universe take shape.
The promo for “Glee.” I think I’ve watched it over a hundred times at this point. Sheer Genius.
Caprica on DVD. BSG’s conclusion was beyond beautiful, but I think I speak for everyone when saying we’ve got a serious withdrawal situation happening here that Caprica could remedy…
The Unusuals on ABC. I watched Tuesday night and was hooked. It’s a great cast with some…well, unusual material. A murder store, a milk spewing story and Jeremy Renner naked – what more can I ask for? How about more than 4 episodes?
I am totally into those Glee promos, too. ( ” Don’t Stop Believin’” indeed). But, as I know I am repeating myself, Chuck. How awesome was Monday’s episode, and the clips for the finale make Captain Awesome look, well, mediocre.
GREEK! I can’t wait to see Frannie get what’s coming to her.
Fringe. The next 3 episodes that end the season will reveal new twists. Also, the season finale will guest star Leonard Nimoy as William Bell, Walter’s old partner and the head of Massive Dynamic.
The preview for The Hangover. I can’t get Mike Tyson singing out of my head. Drum Solo LOL
I nominate Melora Hardin – in both “Hannah Montana” and “17 Again”? Nicely done!
And the Cleveland Cavaliers & Their Playoff Commercial:
The heat between Zac Efron and Leslie Mann in “17 Again.” Who knew they had such chemistry? When they took the dance floor to “Kid” by The Pretenders, I wanted them to go all the way! Is that bad?
Lie to Me! Fascinating mysteries, funny dialogue, and the chemistry between Lightman and Foster (mostly Lightman’s burning stares) always sends me and my husband straight to the bedroom!
“Chuck” is the one and only thing on my Must List. This week’s penultimate episode of the season (Chuck vs. the Colonel) was the series’ highpoint, and arguably the most entertaining hour of television of any show this season.
I’ll add Subway, too, to my Must List. To show NBC (and its sponsors) how awesome the show is, everyone needs to A) buy a $5 footlong before Monday’s season finale, and B) fill out a comment card saying that you’re buying your sandwich because of “Chuck.”
You can also add Yvonne Strahovski to your Must List….because she’s on my Would List (as in “I would do anything to date her.”)
Castle is on my must list! The chemistry b/w Castle and Bennett is electric! LOVE THIS SHOW!
