It’s a dog eat dog world out there, and if you’re going to come out on top, you need to be able navigate your way through a conversation. Since the only way to do that is to be 100% up-to-date on all your pop culture, you need to be caught up on your T.V. If you’re currently watching Mad Men, Jersey Shore, How to Make it in America, Modern Family, Top Chef, Community, Entourage, Hung, Weeds, Breaking Bad, The Real Housewives of DC, True Blood, The Rachel Zoe Project and Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami like I currently am, then you’re in good shape. If not, it's time you started taking your life a little more seriously.
I’m not going to just flat out say I’m the world’s greatest expert when it comes to T.V., but I’m basically the world’s greatest expert when it comes to T.V. I can watch a show for 15 minutes and essentially tell you how big it is going to be. Not how “good” the show is, because who really cares about that. But how popular the show will be. Who will be watching. How frequently the show will be referenced in society. Things like that. I watched the pilot of The O.C. the night it aired and knew immediately it was going to be the biggest thing on the planet. I was with LOST from the beginning. Same thing with Modern Family. I knew Jersey Shore would blow up a month before it even premiered. I just have the gift.
And so without having even seen the pilot, I’m happy to inform you that the next big show in American pop culture is…The Event. It premieres September 20 at 9pm on NBC.
