TV Junkie: Farewell 'Big Love'
We had a few great years with some crazy Mormons, thank you HBO for bringing us "Big Love," a show we're sad to see leave. --- We'd like to disagree with Entertainment Weekly's grade of C- for Saturday's broadcast of "The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway," it will be our pick of the night. --- All this and the TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan for your weekend.
The Pee-wee Herman Show at Club Nokia: I Know You are, But What am I?
It's a good time to live in Los Angeles. Only Angelenos have the rare opportunity to see a new adaptation of "The Pee-wee Herman Show" at Club Nokia through February 7th. The show, adapted for this series by Reubens, Bill Steinkeller and John Paragon, is a mish-mash of bits and characters from Pee-wee Herman's stage, film and television productions. The show never drags in spite of rehashing old bits. The nostalgia factor makes even the repetitive jokes comforting.

Notes on Castaic
Yesterday, Curbed LA ran their first column with Castaic. Since we have some experience with Castaic (cold shudder), here are some fun tidbits:
LAist Watches: Campus Ladies
A mid-season series on Oxygen didn't sound promising to us until we read the NY Times review that compared it — favorably! — to AbFab. Two 40-ish women leave their suburban lives and enroll as college freshmen. Cringeworthy at first, it gets increasingly debauched and insane, then mellows out to loopy — and cringeworthy again.
