How To Make It In America premieres tonight on HBO

Music, Television, Video, , , , , , ,

How To Make It In America, the new series from writer Ian Edelman and executive producers Mark Wahlberg (Entourage), Rob Weiss (Entourage), and Stephen Levinson (Entourage) — premieres tonight (2/14) at 10PM on HBO.  It’s a story that “follows two enterprising Brooklyn twentysomethings as they hustle their way through New York City, determined to achieve the American Dream.”  Since a handful of the staff comes from Entourage you can expect the show to have a similar vibe but with stark differences; it’s set in New York City, the main set of characters start at the bottom and work their way up to success and fame, and instead of dealing with the entertainment industry, this seres is grounded in the fashion scene.  To learn more about the show, check out my previous two posts.

Look after the break for a ton of HTMINA content, including a new trailer, a conversation with stars Bryan Greenberg and Scott “Kid” Mescudi, and a behind-the-scenes ‘making-0f’ video.  HBO collaborated with with Kid Cudi, DJ Green Lantern, and Broke Mogul to create a HTMINA official mixtape.  It includes tracks from Dan Black, Chromeo, Lupe Fiasco, Styles P, and Phoenix.  Click here to listen to and download the (free) mixtape, and look after the break for the track listing.

UPDATE:  If you missed the premiere episode you can watch it in its entirety at YouTube.  WATCH IT HERE.

Clarification: Monday’s Fringe episode was a blast from the past

News, Television, ,

Fringe was billed to return from its short haitus on January 14 at its regular timeslot, Thursday-9PM-FOX.  I had the fourteenth circled on a calendar in my brain (along with the other dates when shows are expected to return).  However, after double-checking my DVR for the return of other shows I stumbled upon what was labled a “new” Fringe episode titled “Unearthed” to air on a Monday, the 11th.  Things are about to get a tad stranger…

For those of you who watched this episode on Monday night and were left scratching your heads in confusion don’t fret because I had the same initial reaction.  The real Agent Charlie Francis was inexplicably back from the dead?  And what of the solid white floating names within establishing shots (they display the location of hospitals, offices, and other places) that did not reflect off buildings and react to their surroundings?  Even the over-arching storyline did not match up with where we left off in “Grey Matters” before the break.  If you start to connect the dots it is easy to see that “Unearthed” is in fact a lost episode from season one.  Why FOX decided to randomly unearth this episode and play it on an out-of-the-blue Monday night is beyond me.  FOX is only asking for trouble by (1) leaving fans in the dark with a lost episode from a previous season and (2) airing what happened to be a lackluster episode for those tuning into their first glimpse at Fringe.  Some say this was done so FOX could test the show in a different, less competitive timeslot.  No matter what the reason, Fringe fans and other fellow TV viewers should have been given proper notice that this was a “lost” episode.
