Amanda Peet is on Dave tonight. She is promoting her new show soon to be airing on NBC. I really have not seen her in anything I can recall except Saving Silverman which had some funny moments.
Still I have seen her on quite a few talk shows and she is very entertaining. I have seen her a couple of times on Dave and it is always clear when he has a guest he enjoys and has a rapport with.
I can sometimes make a judgement about if i think someone is likable, for example I have never seen an appearance by Cameron Diaz in these environments that made me find her someone to be impressed by, Peet is just the opposite.That alone is reason enough to check out her new show.

Bad Teacher
What to do on a Saturday night as you wait for the snow to start flying and ruin your Halloween decorations. Netflix is cancelled so you have not ordered a movie and cannot stream one. You go to the RedBox ( which now lets you reserve a movie ) and rent Bad Teacher for a dollar.
I am not a Cameron Diaz fan. I think her movie roles have gotten crasser and crasser and after having seen her on a few talk shows I am not sure she is a person that comes across as particularly likeable. That said with Jason Segal and others the movie had potential.
Quickly however the movie becomes a one joke, and not a good joke, pony. Diaz is a bad teacher. She does not try. She drinks, smokes, and curses......at school. Trying to seduce the new teacher ( Justin Timberlake) who she presumes to be wealthy she loses him to a rival teacher. A teacher that loves teaching and is just a little too peppy.
The car wash scene is gratioutus and over time even Miss Halsey ( Diaz ) comes to realize just how superficial she has become. By the end of the movie she has had a revalation and decided that everyman gym teacher is a better choice. Jason Segal is very likable in this role.
Not a great movie though. Not one I can reccomend. In fact two of the movies I have panned lately have been Justin Timberlake movies. He needs to make better choices.
