#27 - Odd Man Out: Fight Club

yes - image is froma  differnt episode but it had the two mates on.

Odd Man Out aired in the UK on Trouble (more about that channel later), it's always kind of surprises me when a sit-com that lasted 13 episodes makes it around to my side, I always assumed it was brought as a part of a package involving other shows or either it's really cheap, my memory always suggested it was a show that lasted a full season (not half that).

The premise is about a teenage boy (Erik Von Detten), who lives in a house full of women, including his mother, 3 sisters and auntie and his best friend seems permanently over (which is related to the house full of women thing), the cast I always remembered was Jessica Capshaw (Kate's daughter and Spielberg's step-daughter) played his aunt, Von Detten voiced Sid in Toy Story and was in Christmas Every Day (a movie like Groundhog Day but set at erm... Christmas) and Natali Cigluiti who played one of his sisters was Lindsay on Saved By The Bell - The New Class for the first few seasons (one of the few to survive the cast cul of it's second season).

Odd Man Out see our friends fall out but as the title suggests there is no physical fighting and for a show that got repeated multiple times and I probably watched more then once rang very little bell with me (honestly many of the other episodes might be the same).

The most enjoyment I honestly got out of it was nostalgia to television at that time in my life (my teens) because it did feel like a standard sit-com from that era (which doesn't mean it's bad).

#26 Eye Candy - K3U

I honestly thought Eye Candy was a new show, I mean it's "new" in terms of complete television history, but it's a show I only heard about in the last month or saw and had no idea it began airing in early 2015 and only made it to March (with 10 episodes) so yes not really new liked I believed.

 So alas, I'm behind yet again when it comes to a TV show just like I was with Community, and still am with Game Of Thrones (hopefully that changes the middle of the month when I get a chance to catch up) and I have to say with Eye Candy's pilot episode K3U that while I wasn't blown away, I was intrigued - I assume it's mean't to be a whodunnit and perhaps the killer was already introduced in the first episode but for all I know suspect might get built upon suspect episode after episode and I'm hoping we do actually find out who the killer is for that matter because I don't know if the rug was pulled out from it.

I talked about Victoria Justice, the shows star when I wrote up about Victorious, saying she is absolutely gorgeous, that is an undeniable fact, and even with films I've seen of hers it seems like she as struggled to find a decent enough project for me (either comerically or critically).

Eye Candy starts with Justice picking up her younger sister from a bunch of roughens and while stopping for petrol her sister gets out the car and is abducted in the slowest abduction in the history of mankind (seriously I don't think a film or television series as had one go on so long), cut to now-ish and she is helping other people with missing family because she's a brilliant hacker but not so briliant that she got caught and is tagged (which is about to be taken off).

At a trendy night club her friends put hers on a dating app under the name Eye Candy and it turns out somebody is both watching her and even kills one of the men that is interested in her.

Overall like i said it's not a perfect episode but there was something there to get your teeth into, I've seen worse shows last longer.
