TV Meme Day 19: Best Television Cast

A few blurbs on great casts, since again, one is not nearly enough. I hope you like my midnight meme posts. This meme never ends, does it!?

Glee - I don't like every member of this cast (namely Matthew Morrison and Cory Monteith, sorry guys) but every week is filled with great work from almost everyone else. Jane Lynch and Jayma Mays are consistently wonderful when they actually get a chance to be on screen, and Lea Michele gets better each week. More thoughts on Glee

Modern Family - There is not a single weak link in this cast. From the youngest to the oldest, each member is hilarious and adds perfectly to the show. It helps that they're given such great material to work with, of course. Standouts are of course Eric Stonestreet, Sofia Vergara, and Rico Rodriguez. More on Modern Family

Party Down - Again, not a weak link. Even when they lost Jane Lynch, Megan Mullaly came to be brilliant and hilarious. Every actor milks their roles and besides being wonderfully funny, they're all so sincere and human too. Mas de Party Down

United States of Tara- Oh, Toni Collette is brilliance as usual, but her supporting cast is not to be outdone. I particularly like Brie Larson, Kier Gilchrist, and Rosemarie Dewitt...oh, and Don Corbett is always great. See, that's the whole cast right there...I love them all so much, in a sick way I wish they were my family. Haha! Read about my love for US Of Tara

Spongebob Squarepants - Seriously, everyone! Really, this show simply has some of the best ensemble voice acting ever. Every voice is so memorable, whether you like the show or not, and they interact with themselves so well and realistically. Oh how I love this show. More on that Sponge that lives under the sea

The Office - Grrrr I love this cast so much, I wish they'd all do more beyond this. Jenna Fischer in particular is just lovely and every character is so perfect. There's no way this could have been cast any better.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - If you haven't seen this show, you should check it out. It's hysterical. Not for everyone, but still amazing. The cast is just so remarkably out of control you wonder how they can take themselves seriously and not break out laughing while they're working. So, so funny and amazing. It's like if a cartoon took crack and became a live action sitcom.

So there you have it. :) Enjoy! Sorry for the lack of non-meme posts, it's kind of draining my brain. Haha.

TV Meme Day 14: Favorite Male Characters

I couldn't pick just ONE! So, I present to you, 10. I'm cheap like that. This was difficult though! Do realize, this was tricky, since I'm not repeating characters from the same show. Also, I've only been avidly watching television recently so most of these characters will be sort of recent. :) The lovely ladies are coming later since I'm running late, again.







(Okay so he's not exactly a character but he's my favorite contributor to Infomania! Which you all should be watching by now... ;P)

Well there you go. Comment below! Agree? Disagree? Go crazy!

TV Meme Day 7: Least Favorite Episode of my Favorite Show

There just isn't one. I don't have a least favorite. Sure, not every episode is as amazing as the other, but for reals people, I can't think of one episode that I particularly dislike! Sorry.

TV Meme Day 6: My Favorite Episode of My Favorite Show

There are too many amazing episodes of Spongebob to just pick my one definitive favorite without feeling like I left something out. Thus, I present to you, my TOP 5 episodes of Spongebob, of ALL TIME!

5. Whale of a Birthday

In this episode, Spongebob goes on a shopping spree buying everything Pearl wants for her birthday, while Mr. Krabs decorates the Krusty Krab cheaply for her. It's a hilarious episode, with so many laugh-out-loud moments, such as "It's a...girl?" and Squidward singing the Boys Who Cry song. So funny.

4. F.U.N

This is just a classic. Plankton and Spongebob becoming friends and the actual F.U.N song in the show is, for fans of Spongebob, one of the most important topics in the show's history. :P

3. The Camping Episode

Spongebob and Patrick go camping with Squidward in this notable episode. When I first saw it, I fell in love, especially with the "Campfire Song Song" that they sing. Which I would embed a clip of, but it's impossible to find a good one. So...sorry everyone. :)

2. Krusty Krab Training Video

This is a great episode because of how unique it was. Being presented as the actual Krusty Krab training video, it's just amazing. From the "HOOPLAH" guy to "People Order Our Patties" to the fakeout ending, this episode is probably one of the most memorable of them all.

1. Band Geeks

This episode is easily my favorite of all time. When Squidward tries to put together a band to show off to his arch-nemesis, the rather unintelligent citizens of Bikini Bottom attempt to work together to help him. Every moment of this episode is hysterical, and it's structured so well. The end, in which Spongebob and the others play a rock concert, is just classic.



That was really difficult. On some other day, there could be five completely different choices...I can think of five more that I love right now but I shall refrain. I think the strongest season of Spongebob was its Fourth, though only a couple from that season are on this list, I pretty much love every episode from it.

TV Meme Day 4: My Favorite Show Ever!

When thinking of television shows that I'd call my "favorite", there is one that easily takes the cake, and that show is Spongebob Squarepants. Seriously, people! :P

A huge part of the reason that I love Spongebob is because I'm the PERFECT age to have fallen in love with the show. I was an impressionable 7 when the show premiered in 1999 (I actually vividly remember watching the first episode), and as I grow up, the show seems to as well.

I'm not going to describe what Spongebob is about, because you should all already know. :) But, it's just an amazing show. The hilarious cast of characters, like Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, and plankton, led by Mr. Squarepants himself of course, is always irresistibly charming. And, Tom Kenny's voiceover work for Spongebob is probably one of the most influential voice-acting jobs ever.

One of the most impressive accomplishments of Spongebob is that it appeals to such a wide audience. I know that not find it funny, but it's a show that appeals to adults with wry and subtle mature humor, while its colorful jokes and characters appeal to even the youngest of kids. As I said before, it's a show that "grew up with me" - I can really watch any episode and find something new to laugh at every time.

Not to mention the fact that I've often noticed discreet social commentary in episodes of Spongebob. For example, the "Grandma's Kisses" episode is an interesting look at familial-social relationships, and the episode "Jellyfish Hunter" takes an unforgiving look at what is certainly a parallel to factory farming. Whether these messages are intentional or not, they still exist and add an entirely new dimension to the hilarity.

Perhaps Spongebob Squarepants seems like an immature choice for my FAVE SHOW EVER OMG but I absolutely can NOT deny that it is. I've loved it ever since I first saw it ten years ago and I'm sure that I'll continue loving it for years to come.
