Trailer Park - MacGyver (New TV Series)

(Actual trailer is at the bottom you can scroll down)

There is an old criticism of television companies, "they've run out of ideas." I'm not one to believe that, however with Rush Hour's attempt at television, Lethal Weapon's upcoming series, and now MacGyver, I think they're getting lazy.

I mainly say that because Rush Hour TV series was just terrible, and I'm afraid they will do the same to the upcoming series. Lethal Weapon has a trailer that shows some potential, but its not like I liked everything about the trailer and it did not make me think, "I can't wait to see it."

So here we have MacGyver, a remake of an old television show which I liked a lot and watched as much as I could. Sure I was only a lad at the time, and I only saw the reruns but I dug MacGyver's ingenuity and charisma. In the original show, 'Mac' was an independent troubleshooter hired by the government, and later the Phoenix foundation, to go to different places and help someone overcome their oppressor, or solve whatever injustice was going on. Richard Dean Anderson's (MacGyver) performance helped make the show for me. Instead of him coming off like some kind of super spy, he came off more like an everyman. Until you locked him in a death trap with a paper clip and bubblegum.

Epic Rap Battles of History (Youtube Channel) - Infamuz RECOMMENDATION

Epic Rap Battles of History (Youtube Channel) - Infamuz RECOMMENDATION

There are many reasons I love the internet. One of the many is running into something and it blows you away. This was the case with this Youtube channel.

First let me say that this is not about any actual historical rappers. This is about a channel which people play fictional or historical characters and battle (rap) against each other.

I heard about this channel before, but I never wanted to give it much of a chance. I'm a rap fan, so I didn't really want to see an overly corny version of it. As good as the internet can be, it can also be disappointing, you sometimes have to sift through a lot of dirt to get some gold. If I was going to watch one of these I wanted to be invested in the characters who are battling. The best battle raps get really personal, therefore the more I knew about the characters, the better I could understand the attacks.

When I'd watch some of my geek videos, I kept hearing them recommend the channel. I would just push it away and think, "someday I'll watch it, but not right now. I'll sit down and look for an interesting one." Since the recommendations came from geeks, I didn't consider them the best judges for rap battles... But they did know comedy, and they were enjoying the videos.

Well, today (well, yesterday really... I have to proofread this thing after all) was the day my feed showed me a battle I would want to check out.

It was a regular day, and as I was winding down my evening by checking my Facebook page, answering messages, and posting funny pics I saw James Bond vs. Austin Powers and thought "Hmmm, I'd check that out."

Before, I didn't see any battles that I would want to hear. Alexander the Great rapping? ehhhh, Babe Ruth? ehhhhhh. But James Bond vs. Austin Powers? "OK feed, you've done your job well, my interest has been piqued."

Epic Rap Battles of History, where have you been all of my life?

This has all of the sharp wit of a great rap battle. The insults fly, the flows flow, and there is even a great "run in" (as it is known in the wrestling business) by a second Bond or "Classic Bond" (as I call him) that makes this a 3 way battle. A real funny and just awesome presentation. This was smooth, clever, sharp, to me just entertaining as hell. And of course it pays off that I know the characters and their history.
