Is the CW’s The Carrie Diaries a lazy turd of a Sex in the City prequel? Is ABC’s Nashville just a country version of NBC’s Smash? Sherlock Holmes sure thinks so in this video ridiculing the fall TV lineup. In “Sherlock Can’t Solve Elementary,” the detective pins down which new shows remind him of past series. “All of these putrid new shows are thinly veiled clones of previously successful ones,” he bemoans. | 6 Fox Shows to Watch | 6 NBC Shows to Watch But one eludes him: CBS’s drama Elementary, which premieres Thursday. Watch him struggle to crack the mystery in the above video from comedy site Jest. Read more: http://mashable.com/2012/09/26/sherlock-fall-tv-elementary/
It sounds nice: chilling on the back deck, dropping a fishing line in the water — then this happens. In the immortal words of someone from the freshly uploaded YouTube video above: “It’s a big-ass shark!” The video was uploaded with minimal information by user Sarah Brame and YouTube’s view count hasn’t caught up yet — but this is one fishing tale destined to go viral. Everyone has a “one that got away” story, but Brame’s comes with seemingly authentic video proof. Read more: http://mashable.com/2012/07/11/big-ass-shark/

I’ve always been envious of people who can freely express themselves and enjoy life to the fullest. It’s not that I don’t like my life, but let’s just say you won’t see me breaking out in dance whenever the mood strikes. That’s because in addition to having absolutely no rhythm, I’m nowhere near as cool as this grandma. Every week, this girl picked up her 88-year-old Nana Feole and took her out to breakfast or lunch. As soon as she would arrive at her house, she’d blast some great oldies from her car and get treated with this awesome sight. You go, nana! She could seriously bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Zach Anner’s Reddit-powered cross-country road trip is complete, and finally premiering on YouTube. The series, Riding Shotgun With Zach Anner, is a travel show that evolved from Anner’s former show on the OWN network. The comic won a contest after charming the online communities of Reddit and 4chan with self-deprecating humor that poked fun at his own affliction — cerebral palsy. Anner took to Reddit after the short-lived cable series was cancelled due to poor ratings. The new series is the first to have an official branded subreddit. With help from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Anner and his friends traveled to six cities, suggested by the Reddit community: Montreal, Boston, Baltimore, Blacksburg, Va., Savannah, New Orleans, Denver and Vancouver. After selecting the itinerary, the team sought out local redditors to give their take on each city. Throughout the six-week trip, the guys released teasers of the crazy antics to keep viewers updated on their travels. They did everything from reading romance novels at the filming location of Dirty Dancing to performing on Bourbon Street with the 610 stompers to drinking “dragon’s blood” in Montreal. The new series, which is hosted on YouTube, already has more than two million views and 25,000 subscribers. Anner will host a Reddit AMA on Tuesday at 11 a.m. EST to kick it off. Will you be tuning into Riding Shotgun With Zach Anner? Let us know what you think of the online-powered endeavor in the comments below.

Katy Perry has found an era that suits her perfectly — Victorian. The pop star went retro-chic in a visually stunning music video for power ballad “Unconditionally,” the second single from her “Prism” album. There are gowns, snow, pearls, flower petals, an owl, underwater scenes and a bed on fire — so nothing really out of the ordinary for Perry. Yes, unconditional love sometimes feels like being hit by a car… Or being on fire… How does it feel to you? — Katy Perry (@katyperry) November 20, 2013 The singer recently told MTV that this music video would be a departure from her other videos because it “doesn’t have a complete narrative.” “I usually have quite a big story line,” she said. “This time I wanted to give a lot of gorgeous, beautiful looks, which I don’t usually go for. But it’s mostly just a beautiful video that is supposed to evoke this power of love.” Mission accomplished, Katy.

Anyone who has been to New York’s Central Park in the fall can attest to the impressive display of color against the steel and glass of the city. Sure, we’ve all seen time-lapse videos. But there is something truly magical about this one by filmmaker, Jamie Scott. Many of the transitions move across the field of view from left to right, as if the color is being chased down by the shadow of winter. Scott said he chose 15 locations in the park and then revisited them two days a week for six months. If the lighting appears similar, it’s because all of the shots were taken just after sunrise.
