TWIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES

post from INNER TOOB on 02 November 2010 01:06:50 AM. © INNER TOOB

From AOL News:

By Deborah Huso
With cold and flu season upon us again, many of us are wondering just how dangerous this year's viruses are following the swine flu scare of last winter. Yesterday, the Daily Mail Reporter claimed an 18-year-old woman in Kent had died at the King's College Hospital in London following a cold virus infection she had had for only two days.

Danielle Booker reportedly complained of normal cold symptoms accompanied by a headache, and within a day had lost feeling in her hands and legs before falling into unconsciousness. Her virus had apparently spread to her brain, and neurosurgeons were unable to save her.

Could it happen to you?

Unlikely, experts say. Dr. Matt Likavec, a neurosurgeon with the MetroHealth System in Cleveland, told AOL Health that he's never seen a cold or flu virus spread to the brain and that when it happens, it's likely because the patient already had other auto-immune complications.

From "The Big Bang Theory":

Bernadette:
Oh, I take pacts very seriously. One time at my lab, a petri dish of genetically modified super-virus went missing. That day we made a pinky swear never to admit we crossed Ebola with the common cold.

Leonard:
Why the hell would you cross Ebola with the common cold?

Bernadette:
We never did. That would be a terrible, terrible thing......

Just sayin', is all.....

BCnU!

TOOBWORLD'S NEXT TOP MODEL

post from INNER TOOB on 02 November 2010 01:06:50 AM. © INNER TOOB

Reality shows fly under my radar; I don't even consider them for Toobworld unless they somehow work themselves into another show's plotline. (Like 'Big Brother' [USA] on 'Yes, Dear'. 'Big Brother' [UK] would work because of 'Dead Set', but that goes into the Zombie TV dimension.)

So when DCI Ian Reed said he was going home to watch 'America's Next Top Model' during the second episode of 'Luther', I remembered that 'The Big Bang Theory' had a plotline in which Howard and Raj tracked down the house where the show's models lived.

It made me wonder how many other shows acknowledge 'America's Next Top Model' as being a TV show in Toobworld. And I was surprised by how many.....

"Six Feet Under: The Dare (#4.7)" (2004)
- Edie says she's been watching too much America's Next Top Model.

"Gilmore Girls: Super Cool Party People (#6.20)" (2006)
- Sookie tells Lorelai, that she wanted to film an audition video for the show.

"Veronica Mars: Welcome Wagon (#3.1)" (2006)
- Parker and Mac are gonna watch "top model"

"Heroes: Chapter Twelve 'Godsend' (#1.12)" (2007/II)
- Zach asks Claire if she's auditioning for America's Next Top Model when she asks him to videotape her by the bridge.

"Shark: Starlet Fever (#1.14)" (2007)
- Julie gets asked to try out for America's Next Top Model.

"Family Guy: No Meals on Wheels (#5.14)" (2007)
- The Griffins watch it on TV

"The King of Queens: China Syndrome, Parts 1 and 2 (#9.12)" (2007)
- Deacon and Danny discuss this show

"Psych: And Down the Stretch Comes Murder (#2.5)" (2007)
- "You forget to Tivo 'America's Net Top Model?'"

"Californication: Pilot (#1.1)" (2007)
- mentioned by Hank

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: America's Next Top Paddy's Billboard Model Contest (#4.3)" (2008)
- Mentioned by the gang throughout the episode

"The Big Bang Theory: The Panty Piñata Polarization (#2.7)" (2008)
- Penny turns Leonard, Raj and Howard on to it, causing Howard to try to find the house the models stay in

"Smallville: Turbulence (#8.16)" (2009)
- Mentioned by Chloe

"True Blood: Scratches (#2.3)" (2009)
- Arlene tells Sam that Lisa gave Coby a nose piercing after watching America's Next Top Model.

"Nurse Jackie: Health Care and Cinema (#1.12)" (2009)
- mentioned in dialogue

"Gilmore Girls: Go, Bulldogs! (#7.6)" (2006)
- When Luke comes back from date with Susan, April and Lane are watching ANTM on tv.

Of course, 'Family Guy' belongs in the Tooniverse, so there has to be animated versions of Tyra Banks, Nigel Barker, and all the contestants. 'Smallville' takes place in the 'West Wing' TV dimension; and since the "Godsend" episode of 'Heroes' takes place after the show created its own TV dimension timeline with the "Collision" episode, it also has its own version of the modeling show.

I didn't realize there were that many shows, and I saw most of them. I guess with ANTM being a reality competition show, my mind just blocked it out......

BCnU!

'Two and a Half Men' Season 8, Episode 7 Recap

Filed under: Reality-Free, Recaps, Fall TV

['Two and a Half Men' - 'The Crazy Bitch Gazette']

Ask and ye shall receive! Just last week, the prospect of Rose (Melanie Lynskey) returning seemed like the right direction for 'Two and a Half Men,' and tonight Rose was back and the show was terrific. Seriously, the idea that a happy, monogamous Charlie (Charlie Sheen) is the Charlie we want to watch just doesn't play. Miserable, screwed up Charlie does.

And when it comes to who pushes Charlie's buttons to the point of making him crazy, well, that's Rose. For more on Rose's return and Charlie's 'icky' baggage, read on.

'How I Met Your Mother' Season 6, Episode 7 Recap

Filed under: Reality-Free, Recaps

['How I Met Your Mother' - 'Canning Randy']

I'll say this about Will Forte: He's got the weirdo vibe down pat. From his various 'SNL' characters to the Jenna Maroney impersonator he played on '30 Rock' to the shy and awkward Randy on 'HIMYM,' Forte has a history of playing people that are so creepy that they give you douche chills. He plays so creepy that MacGruber is considered one of his more "normal" characters.

But if it weren't for Forte, this fairly uneventful episode would have also been pretty unfunny. Something about this one just felt off from beginning to end; I came away from it thinking it should have been funnier, and I didn't remember one funny line from it. Every season has a few clunkers, and given the streak that Bays and Thomas has been on this season, a clunker in episode 7 isn't such a bad thing.
