Clip of the Day: Max's Random Thought on Happy Endings

I know it seems like we only ever blog about NBC shows, and while most of our favorite shows are on NBC, we do love some non-NBC shows as well.  One of those shows is the ABC comedy Happy Endings.  In this week's great episode, the group spends the entire episode trying to find a good restaurant for Penny's birthday. (Penny is played by former SNL cast member Casey Wilson.  OK, so I guess there is an NBC connection.)  While the whole episode was great, my favorite part was this completely random Mary Tyler Moore-referencing clip in the cold open.  (And yes, we did happen to just do a blog post partly about Mary Tyler Moore.  That is a complete coincidence).

Happy Endings airs Wednesday nights at 9:30 on ABC (after our other favorite ABC show, Modern Family)!

Happy President's Day!

It's President's Day!  That special day when some people have work and some people don't, and the malls have sales that in no way have anything to do with the lives of our nation's greatest presidents.  We thought we'd celebrate this great day with some great TV clips honoring our nations founding fathers.

First, up, President George Washington (as played by Russel Brand) is transported to the present day to give advice to our nation's leaders.

Next, a very young Michael Scott makes an educational video for the office, quoting the words of Abraham Lincoln, to educate against racism.

Additionally, on Happy Endings, Penny (and Max) run into a very charming Abraham Lincoln at a Halloween Party.

Finally, as I'm sure you all know, TGS star Tracy Jordan is a descendant of Mr. Jefferson, and he decided to honor his ancestor by making a dramatic film about his life, in which he plays every part.  Check out the trailer!

Happy President's Day everyone!
