If you love animals more than people around you, then, Animal Practice is the best TV show to watch in 2012 in your case. Why? Just because every character in Animal Practice prefers to deal with dogs, monkeys, birds, whatever, than with humans. However, they (characters) are not some homogeneous substance: some of them are "inappropriate ones", some "crazy ones", some "vulgar ones" and even some "nervous ones". This entire bestiary" is headed by Dr. George Coleman, who is, probably, most colorful representative of all these "kinds". He can easily make an analogy between a dog's behavior and values of average woman's life. Initially, it seems like he is wrong, but finally all of his predictions and analogies turn to be ultimately right. The animals in Animal Practice are "inappropriate" too: a monkey who rides a mini-ambulance all the season-long (this monkey earns 12,000USD for each episode, by the way), a suicidal cat, who tries to kill itself as his owner forces it to watch he Wendy Williams Show. And of course, Dr. Coleman has his own version of events and analogies with cat owner's intimate life, which he easily explains to her, sometimes playing it unsafe.

As he championed "the new journalism" in the late sixties, Tom Wolfe suggested no one ever would write anything truly compelling"”fact or fiction"”about the suburbs; he asserted, "There is no life there." During the New Depression, however, the suburbs have gone ghetto, suddenly teeming with life and depravity; and television writers are producing all kinds of compelling stuff about what they have discovered beyond the white picket fences. Witness Showtime's smash-hit "Weeds," the life and times of a "proper" suburban widow keeping-up appearances while she deals more dope than a six-pack of Mexican cartels. As in "The Office," the basic premise for "Weeds" is an import from Great Britain, adapted from the British film Saving Grace which showed a widow and her gardener conspiring to maintain the widow's lifestyle by supplying the locals with their favorite herbal refreshment. Critics frequently compare "Weeds" with American Beauty for its exploitation of the idea "Normal is the face we wear to cover how f***ed-up we are." By contrast with "Desperate Housewives," Nancy Botwin, our entrepreneurial heroine, has far more good reason for desperation than her difficulty achieving orgasm; she has a house, a mortgage, two sons, and a reputation. Since Bonfire of the Vanities tanked and "Weeds" flourished, Tom Wolfe may have to consider the distinct possibility that there is no life in Manhattan.

"History of the World, Part II" is a 1981 American film that parodies historical events from the Old Testament through to the French Revolution. The movie is a sequel to the 1981 film "History of the World, Part I" but the second part was never made.
