Top 5 TV shows of all time?

So like I said in my welcoming message, Daily Bizisms isn't always going to be about the things that chap our ass or grind our gears. There are some things we actually like. TV is one of them, along with witty banter, drinking, cornhole, epic college football or fifa battles, good eats, BR7, BQ10, and good people. This post is addressing what I think are the 5 best television shows of all time. Feel free to pipe in if you think I missed some or am way off base. I think a lot of you will agree with at least 50% of my list. Bones Esq. will most likely review and add his two cents, as he is very opinionated when it comes to TV viewing, and usually needs to be in control of the remote.

Top 5 in Order (Best to Worst)

1) West Wing - The sexual tension between Donna and Josh was enough to get me to watch copious amounts of this show each week my senior year of college. Throw in Marathon Mondays, Dule Hill, and Martin Sheen as President Bartlett and you have a clear cut best show ever.

2) The Wire - Great show about the drug game in Baltimore. Just started watching this in the last year and I plowed through 5 seasons on demand in very short order. Also certified as something white people like at http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/ so I guess I had no choice in the matter.

3) Entourage - A story of 1 super rich, good looking, famous guy, and the 3 buddies who make up his entourage. I don't think there is a single 18-30 year old guy in America who doesn't love this show and want to have the exact same situation in his life. Hot chicks, parties, money, vacations.....They are living my dream and I live through them everytime I watch the show. Plus Jeremy Piven might be playing the best character on television that I can think of in my lifetime so far.

4) The OC - When I hear the word Summer I no longer think of the season. Don't you judge me, it was a guilty pleasure that I am not ashamed of.

5) The Sopranos - 6 seasons of greatness. I don't have much to add. Characters could be funny, depressed, happy or homicidal at any moment. It kept me asking "whats next?" after every episode of every season. Also, provided a great excuse to open a bottle of wine and cook up a huge Italian dinner every Sunday night.

The Honorable Mentions: Californication, Weeds, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Office

The one people will give me shit for because I left it out: Arrested Development. Sorry, I've only seen a few episodes.

The one the ladies love: Friends

Unofficial Male Chauvinist Week at Daily Bizisms

You want to know what grinds my gears? The misuse of profile pictures on facebook or myspace. Heres an example of the misuse. Guy gets invited to an event on facebook and goes to check out the page and look at all the people who have rsvp’d as attending. He starts scouting the talent that might show up and his eyes fall upon a beautiful baby. He tries to take a look at her page but of course its private. All he has is this one small picture, but damn she looks hot. Now he has decided to definitely go to this party based on the other rsvps. The whole week he is pumped to see this chick and then when he gets to the party he sees her and is extremely disappointed. You got there expecting an 8 to 10 and she ends up being a 4 to 6. Now this may work the same way for girls but I think it usually happens to guys. We have seen this beautiful profile picture and come in with some high expectations. Boy were we wrong! This is false advertisement ladies, it’s the wonderbra of our generation. Lifts you up even though you’re not really that hot. And let me take it a step farther. I think its doing you a disservice. Think of it this way: We have you built up to be this thing of beauty, and our expectations are pretty high thanks to the bar set by your profile picture. You get one chance to make your first impression, and now we meet you and you have gained 30 lbs, your acne is back or your pasty as hell. Instant disappointment as our first impression. Now lets flip it around. Your picture is of you when you were 30 lbs heavier, you had acne and you were pasty. At this point the bar couldn’t be set any lower. We really aren’t that enthusiastic about meeting you. Then when we do meet you, wow are we impressed. The acnes gone, you are skinny and have you been tanning or on vacation? because your body is toned, tan and tight. Much better than that horrible profile picture, and we think you must have some serious confidence if you are completely ok with that bad picture being up.

Example 2) The person with the skinny face. Please don’t put up a picture of your abnormally skinny face if the rest of you is Jared pre-subway. It just causes a really awkward moment when we finally get to see the rest of you.

Example 3) Dude who has never drank more than three beers and is usually extremely lame putting up a picture of him bonging a beer/playing a drinking game/surrounded by smokin’ hot chicks. We get it man, “You’re sooooo crazy, you bong beers, party, and chicks love you!” For the record, it happened once, it might have been water, it was your younger brothers party, you paid the chicks, you never did it again, and you threw up immediately afterwards. Go back to playing final fantasy iv.

Final Thoughts: Ladies, do you make a conscious decision to put up the picture that looks the absolute best or is this just a random phenomenon? Please don’t put up an amazing picture of you that might have been from 5 years ago and is in no way a representation of what you look like today. Alternatively, if you are super hot, feel free to play it down because it displays confidence. Or just put up hot pictures of yourself because I like looking at hot pictures, but if you do, don’t pretend like you don’t love it when random people look at your pictures and peruse your profile. You put them up there because you want us to look and think you’re hot and sexy, and you’re encouraging the online stalking. I’m gonna go out on one final limb here and say there is a direct correlation between self esteem and the hotness of your picture. The hotter/sexier your profile picture, the lower your self esteem, and low self esteem is like a target ladies. I’m sorry you can’t argue with that, I’m a certified Bizicist.

Galoshes, Ugs, and Other Boots

As I was getting on the elevator heading up to my office this morning I looked across and noticed a twenty something female standing across from me. Not wanting to make small talk I looked down but found myself staring at a pair of green galoshes smiling at me. She had these stupid ass green galoshes with a bug like face painted on the toes smiling up at me, pissing me off. Now that is bad enough because she seemed to forget that she was headed to work and not preschool, but what really chapped my ass was that her pants were talked into the galoshes. I dont get it does she think they are good looking? Does she think Im going to be impressed that she dresses like my 8 year old cousin? When did it become a good look for girls to tuck their pants into their boots? Everywhere you turn there are girls tucking their jeans into their Ugs. The ones who do it are most often prissy uppty bitches who are doing it because they want you to notice how good their Ugs look, but I dont know a single guy who as been impressed by a girls shoes let alone Ugs. Ugs were designed to be a comfortable, warm boot and Im all for wearing comfortable shoes even ones that look good. I mean if it were up to me I would rock a money pair of kicks everyday. But no matter how baller my kicks were I would not tuck my pants into them so that the public could see my shoes. The reason I would not tuck my pants in is become Im not an idiot. The only time it is acceptable for pants to be tucked into boots is when the young feminite is a bombshell, rocking the f me boots with some tight jeans and a tighter ass. Now I now what you are thinking, this guy sounds like a male chauvinistic pig. But its not that at all, its just simply that it just chaps my ass that all these women are tucking their pants into galoshes and boots that leave them looking stupid. When did galoshes become a good look? What JCrew now sells some ones in new colors so everyone runs out to buy a pair? The whole point of galoshes is to keep your feet dry, they arent any more effective with your pants tucked in. Rock shoes, boots, galoshes, Ugs, whatever because you think they are legit kicks that you are comfortable in and that look good but dont think for one second that my opinion of you is going to change because of them. In fact the only thing you are doing by tucking your pants in is chapping my ass and instantly making me hate you because you took the time to bend over and neatly tuck your pants into your shoes like a moron.
