PICKS

Thanks I guess to Dane Cook, who is funny until you listen to him for the second time and then you realize that he is a good performer with mediocre material, there is a bit of a resurrgence of stand-up comedy. Over the weekend there were two really great specials on. On Comedy Central they had Demetri Martin Person. and on HBO they had Louis CK Shameless. Both are really smart in how they push the envelope catch them if you can.

Additionally Extras is back on HBO the first episode is pretty great. No it's not the Office, but it is really a thinking person's television show.
