2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
Anyone remember this Japanese TV show that they used to play every Friday morning on KTV1? It used to be called Al-7esn and the Arabic voice over was done by a guy called Ryadh Shararah. Here is a site with more pictures, info on all the characters and details of all the games. [Link]
“Watch as the voices of Family Guy create an episode.” I thought Cleveland was black! [Video]
I just ordered two Jack Bauer bags from Amazon. The Jack Bauer bag is the military messenger bag Jack Bauer uses on the show. I was looking for a nice sized bag in which I could dump all my stuff in and was aiming for a Freitag but every time I try to order one from them I can never decide on which color or design. In the end I decided to go for the Jack Bauer bag since it costs just KD7 and figured it would be fun to have. [Link]
bonus: here is a really cool 24 photo [Picture]
Anyone who has watched CSI Miami will know what Caruso one liners are, they are the lines he says just before the CSI theme song starts. The majority of them are sooooo lame which makes them really funny. Anyway some guy got a hold of a ton of Caruso one liners and just put them all back to back in one long video clip on YouTube. Check it out. [Video]
This Eid holiday I have done nothing but be a couch potato. Nat is in Lebanon visiting her family so its been just me and Geo at home for the past 3 days. So far I have watched the first season of Brotherhood, the second season of The Contender and a a season and a half of Nip/Tuck. Oh and for dinner I just order Hardees which means once Nat gets back she is going to put me on fast food free diet for like a month or something…
The trailer for the new season of 24 is up but I am having trouble viewing it on my Mac! [Link]
update: thanks to Fred from Fox, here is Real player version. [Video]
update 2: Ok just watched the trailer, now I can’t wait for the season to start. I hope Tony Almeida turns out to be still alive, that would be really cool.
Awhile back k.thekuwaiti posted that he saw the Amazing Race reality show guys in Kuwait. Well the episode finally aired, its episode 6 of this season Amazing Race. I am currently downloading the episode as I am writing this. ForzaQ8 has a preview of the episode. [Link]
I have been watching UFC since morning starting from UFC 1 all the way to UFC 7. There were some amazing fights especially since the original UFC fights didn’t have any rules.
My favorite fight so far has to be Emmanuel Yarborough vs Keith Hackney. Emmanuel is 2.06 meters and weighs 280KG while Keith is 90KG and 1.8 meters tall, so it was a match between David and Goliath. Emmanuel is actually in the guiness book of records for being the largest athlete. Anyway he ended up losing the fight but Keith actually fractured his hand while trying to knock Emmanuel out. He later became known as Keith “The Giant Killer” Hackney. He must have punched Emmanuel’s head like 30 times before the fight was stopped, it was like trying to put down a giant bear using only a spoon.
Thats whats cool about the old UFC’s, no rules, no weight classes and a lot of blood.
Every Simpsons episode streamed to you. Get it before it’s gone (won’t be long). [Link]
I was just reading Toomz’s post on the new show Nine when I figured I would post on my current TV experience. Yesterday I watched the season premiers for Gray’s Anatomy (S3E1) and CSI (S7E1) yesterday (not CSI Miami or NY, still haven’t watched those premiers yet) and between the two I have to say I enjoyed the CSI episode much more. Firstly, CSI’s plot intro (not the title sequence) was the best intro since LOST episode 1. I had the sound system at full blast and it was just really exciting and fast. After watching a pretty decent episode something big happens near the end and then they said “To be continued..”. So now I can’t wait till episode 2.
Gray’s Anatomy on the other hand was pretty slow and uneventful for a premier, hopefully things will pick up the next episode. The premier episode reminded me of season 2 of LOST, where its all flashbacks from the past, not something I enjoy.
I haven’t started watching any new shows. I am currently catching up on old Family Guy and American Dad episodes, also just downloaded 9 seasons of Seinfeld so need to go through those, I am also going to start catching up on the old episodes of CSI Miami and NY. Finally I am also watching season 2 of Weeds, season 18 of The Simpsons, Gumball 3000 2006 and Prison Break season 2 which really really kicks ass. Luckily its ramadan so I have a lot of free time to watch everything.
update: According to CNN, Gray did better then CSI. [Link]
My friend just asked to borrow my camera because he wanted to go shoot pictures of his car. I asked him why and he told me MBC have this thing at the moment where if you are bored of your car or don’t like it, send them a picture of it and they might choose to pimp your ride. So I checked the MBC website and it turned out to be true, they are now accepting applications.
If you want MBC to pimp your ride head over to their website and fill in the application form. [Link]
note: original unpimped picture of the taxi is taken by B.Oz

The Simpsons began as a series of animated shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show between 1987 and 1989. I just watched one of those original episodes and its really weird, it feels very wrong but then again even season 1 of the Simpsons feels wrong. Anyway you can download the original 48 episodes after the jump. [Link] #
Dirty Sanchez are coming out with a movie, you can view the trailer here. [Video]
If you don’t know who Dirty Sanchez are, here are some clips from the show. “They make Jackass look like teletubbies”.
Two years ago I read somewhere that Ewan McGregor was going to ride a bike around the world. I didn’t think much of it then and totally forgot about it until a few weeks ago Marzouq mentioned Long Way Round on his blog. Turns out Ewan McGregor took cameras with him on the trip and he turned his adventure into a documentary. So right after I read Marzouqs post I download the series from the Internet and I watched it none stop for 2 days.
Long Way Round is a documentary that is 7 episodes long and it takes you on an adventure with Ewan McGregor and his best friend Charley Boorman on a 151 day journey from London all the way to New York. They headed East from London through a couple of countries in Europe, then they headed into Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia then Russia again followed by Siberia where they then took a plane to Alaska. From Alaska they then rode down to Calgary and then down into the US until they reached New York. It was a really incredible and extremely exhausting journey. Mongolia for example has only 80 miles of tarmac so the majority of their ride was on gravel and offroad.
It was really fun to watch the documentary and by the end of it you just want to quit your job, go out and buy a bike and then travel the world on it. I was really disappointed when it finished and I really wished it was longer because it felt like I was with them on their adventure. My final rating is easily a 5 out of 5. The only other series I have given a full 5 stars to is Band of Brothers so its not a score I give out easily unless its really worth it.
