What’s the Deal with Robbie Dyrdek?
About 2 months ago I wrote a post about Rob and Big and since then it’s been my top post. I have gotten several emails and comments asking me more and more information about Rob Dyrdek and Christopher “big black” Boykin. Most of the posts are about Rob’s personal life. I think it’s kind of funny that people think I know something about this man’s personal life… I am just a fan of the show. I do know that Rob and Big have Myspace pages (which they draw attention to on the show). I do know that Big was recently married and that Rob is in a relationship. I think it’s funny that people are so interested in knowing so much about Rob Dyrdek. He is a cool guy on TV but I think what he did in his professional life deserves far more attention than who he is hooking up with.
Rob is an impressive skateboarder and businessman. He has had his own company since he was 18 years old (more than most can say) and he has several endorsements i.e. Monster Energy Drinks, DC Shoes, Alien Workshop and SKATE video games. I just find it funny that so many people have responded to my previous blog entry. I hope this information is helpful in learning a little more about Rob Dyrdek.

Hooray For Scripted Television!
Being a writer myself, I love watching scripted television. I love being able to watch a show that has a team of writers working diligently on a script for weeks. The writer’s strike is over and scripted TV is back and you all need to watch— Don’t get me wrong, I like certain reality shows (but not many). I like American Idol (The girls are TERRIBLE this season) and I catch myself watching Dancing with the Stars. However, I don’t enjoy shows like Moment of Truth, Deal or No Deal, or any of the other lame game shows. I understand the strike was rough on the networks but, viewers have been waiting for their favorite characters to return.
What I find funny is that CBS of all networks recruited none other than Britney Spears to play a secretary on the HIT (emphasis on HIT) TV show, “How I Met Your Mother”. Now, I’m not surprised that a tv show would recruit a celebrity guest. I am surprised that it was CBS. I would have thought that if any network would have solicited Britney Spears it would have been the ranking # 3 network, NBC. I also heard that CBS is extending Britney’s role on the show to 3 episodes. I guess NBC didn’t learn their lesson from their great mistake of passing on LOST.
I am not a fan of “Grey’s Anatomy” but I know a lot of people who are so you all will be happy to know the show is back in early April. I do think there are some shows that people must watch—>
1. South Park — Comedy Central, Wednesday Nights at 10. South Park is my FAVORITE SHOW and I couldn’t be happier with the new season. I think the first episode was a bit messed up but this week is about Britney Spears in South Park. You gotta check it out!
2. Lil’ Bush– Comedy Central, Thursday Nights at 1030. It’s a mini version of the madness we are living in today in this country. The Little Dems are trying to take over. This show is funny to anyone who hates George Bush or is just pissed off that this economy blows and no one can find a decent job.
3. The Office– NBC, Thursday Nights at 9. One of the greatest comedies on TV. If you have ever worked in an office environment you will relate to this show show much it’s scary.
4. The Daily Show– Comedy Central, Weeknights at 11. With the upcoming election who do you trust more with political insight? A comedian or a journalist? A comedian, of course! Jon Stewart is a riot.
5. The Colbert Report– Comedy Central, Weeknights at 1130. Steven Colbert pokes fun at Right-Wing Media (Fox News) like no other.
Shows that I watched on DVD or Re-runs and I think deserve a chance when they come back on the air—>
1. 30 Rock– NBC, Thursday Nights @ 830. I must admit that I hated this show when I watched the first couple episodes. I thought it was cheesy and lame but after watching a few more episodes it grew on me. I say check out but go in with low expectations.
2. SNL– NBC, Saturday Nights @ 1135. Again with the political thing. I think you have to watch some SNL when it’s an election year. This season is not very good so far but, it’s a little better than the “Fallon Years”.
I am so glad scripted TV is back!
