Pinch Punch First of the Month!
A Young Doctor's Notebook
New month, new watch list! This month's theme is quite a fun one, literally. March's watch list is all about comedy! If you're like me, than you will suffering from the winter blues. I mean, 15 inches of snow, and counting, can be a bit much. So why not warm up with laughter from one of these hilarious television shows!
A Young Doctor's Notebook
Why It's A Must Watch: Daniel Radcliffe
I must admit, A Young Doctor's Notebook is my favorite project Daniel Radcliffe has done, besides Harry Potter of course. This series is a beautifully stylized series with an absolutely hilarious, but also compelling, script. The Doctor, played by both Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe at different ages, finds himself going mad while trapped in a mundane, excluded Russian village. I absolutely love Daniel in this role; he plays the comedy with ease, but also performs the dramatic scenes with brilliance. If you're like me and love Daniel in comedic roles, than you will love A Young Doctor's Notebook.
The Office (US)
Why It's A Must Watch: The Characters
I love The Office. No matter how many times I've seen each episode, I will always find it absolutely hilarious. Of course, what makes the show so funny is the quirky cast of characters. The standout character, as everyone knows, is Michael Scott. Steve Carell is just perfect as the ridiculously friendly office manager. Every character is full of life; they could all be people you work with. The characters are definitely the driving force in this absolutely hilarious show.
Wilfred
Why It's A Must Watch: Wilfred
Yes, this is that show with the man dressed in a dog suit. Yes, I am completely obsessed with it. This show is so crazy, but so funny. Jason Gann, who plays Wilfred and co-writes the show, has the technicalities of a dog down perfectly. Gann adds a voice to a dog not in the Disney sort of way, but as a real life animal. Any dog owner will just love Gann's jokes simply because they will understand them perfectly. I know my dog acts the exact same way Wilfred does in the show (except my dog does try to destroy my life or send me on metaphorical, life altering quests like Wilfred does), and it just cracks me up every time.
Gavin and Stacey
Why It's A Must Watch: The Writing
Gavin and Stacey is written by James Corden (Smithy) and Ruth Jones (Nessa). I am obessed with James Corden and everything he does. He is brilliant at writing screenplays; every thing he writes is funny, touching, and entertaining. Teamed with Ruth Jones, Gavin and Stacey is no exception of Corden's brilliance. What I love most about this show are the characters. Gavin, Smithy, Stacey, and Nessa are hilarious concoctions, but my favorite characters have to be Gavin's parents, and of course Uncle Bryn.
Orange Is the New Black
Why It's A Must Watch: The Situations
Orange Is the New Black was probably the most talked about show last year. In this dramedy, Piper Chapman is incarcerated for a crime she committed in her youth. What makes this show such a riot is the situations Ms. Prim and Proper Piper finds herself in. Piper is definitely not the type of person who survives prison well. Although prison is hell for her, the situations Piper finds herself in are absolutely hilarious for us.
