Remember when we used to update this blog...

Yeah, us neither. However, we are about to remedy that at least in the near future so check back very soon for posts about what we did the last half of 2011 and what we've been doing in 2012. Until then please accept this OKCtoPDX approved Portlandia clip as an apology for our absence.

Portlandia: Dream of the 90s

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up about a show based on life in Portland that premiers tonight on IFC. Portlandia stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. I've seen a few clips so far and it looks hilarious.

A Twist on How To Wrap A Cat For Christmas

How to Wrap A Cat For Christmas is a huge hit on YouTube right now but we prefer Conan's take involving Andy Richter.

Merry Christmas From OKCtoPDX!!

A Playhouse Christmas!

We are extremely lucky to have several vintage 80s Christmas specials (complete with commercials) on VHS, and a tape player to watch them with. Our favorite Christmas special is Pee Wee's Playhouse Christmas and we watch it every year. The special has some really incredible guest stars like Oprah, Dinah Shore, Cher, and Charo plus many classic Pee Wee moments. If you aren't lucky enough to already own a bit of Pee Wee Christmas fun you can buy it here or watch it on YouTube, see part 1 below.

Merry Christmas and Happy New YEAR (ahhhh)!!!

All We Want for Christmas is Doctor Who

This year, thanks to Netflix, we had the pleasure of enjoying several great British television series. We watched The Black Adder, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Sherlock, Doc Martin, Torchwood, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Jeeves and Wooster to name a few. However, Doctor Who has stolen our hearts and is by far our favorite. Our obsession started last Christmas when we watched a couple classic Doctor Who episodes from the 1960s and 70s. We then swiftly moved into the new Doctor Who series (that started in 2005), and spent a good portion of this year watching those. Apparently Doctor Who fans in Britain often spend Boxing Day enjoying Doctor Who episodes both old and new, so we plan to spend part of our Christmas holiday enjoying some time and space fun with "The Doctor".

Our love of British tv led us to the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Craig had a very interesting hour long interview with Stephen Fry this year, and it peaked our interest to watch his show more often. He is the funniest guy on late night television and whenever we can keep our eyes open past 12:30am we like to catch his show. So now back to Doctor Who, Craig recently provided his audience with a great musical explanation of the Doctor Who series when he had Matt Smith (who plays the 11th "Doctor") as a guest on his show.



If that video clip wasn't holiday themed enough for your liking then you can go here and watch Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon exchange Christmas gifts. Cheerio!

Jumping the Shark

It has been our experience that when a television show starts running low on ideas the writers do one of two things. 1) They come up with something outlandish and totally unbelievable. A classic example of which is Fonzie jumping a shark in the classic television show Happy Days or 2) They put together a clips show. So in an effort to avoid jumping the shark we are going to put together a series of fun video clips for your enjoyment throughout the month of December. Consider it our holiday gift to you. Happy Holidays!!
