One in many shows that run after “South Park”, “Halfway Home” continued that tradition. Sorry, to clarify, the tradition is that you get as many people to stop watching Comedy Central as possible. I will admit I watched this whole series because I was in high school; I was in my room with a tiny television and no remote. I set the dial (there wasn’t a dial) and lay in bed with Comedy Central going all night. I didn’t just watch this show, I liked it. For a few years, I really liked all the shows they trotted out on Wednesday at 10:30. They were harmless fun, and decent little comedies. They were I think designed to run one season, except Sarah Silverman who managed three seasons. Anyway, let’s move on to talk about a bunch of criminals living in a house; exactly how imagine it goes in real life.
This is a show staring five adorable criminals and their creepy house dictator. They live in California and living blessed lives. Let’s look at a profile of these lovely people:
A former drug trafficking lady, this addict is very smart when off the smack. Sadly this rarely happens. She also holds the world record for pogo-sticking. She is also the most attractive inhabitant outside of Regan Burns
Serenity Johnson is an armed robber. She is very aggressive and mean. She wanted to be famous, and now she is having starred in the movie "The Help." This may be blurring reality.
Eulogio Pla may look nice in that picture, but don't be fooled. He is a dirty whore. He wants to become more though, maybe he'll end up in some kind of office.
This pretend thug is actually just a computer hacking rich Muslim kid. He went to college in Florida and is in the house because people in prison wanted to rape him bad.
Despite this picture, Alan Shepard isn't so bad. He's in a ton of commercials and has a loving family. He just likes to light things on fire. He likely never had that phase as a boy, so now he's acting out. He might also be racist.
Kenny Carlyle is the boss. He is a supervisor of criminals and hates it. He's sensitive, yet keeps order because he knows these people are idiots. He took the job waiting for his music career to take off, and he's still waiting.
“Halfway Home” lasted for two months. It was just a small little blip on the screen of television…wait, that was a weird kind of joke sentence on accident. I’ve lost my train of thought now. I’m going to break the fourth wall and say that I’ve got two exams, three papers, and a speech to give tomorrow and Monday, so I’m kind of spacing here. I’ll leave you by saying that this show is okay. It’s worth the time to kill a week watching it. Not high praise, but it’s as good it deserves. I’d like to end with an great quote from Alan, that most people should follow. “I normally don’t have anything against the gays and the dark skinned peoples of the world, but I don’t want to live with them. And by live with them, I mean share the same zip code”
