We had high expectations for The Knights of Prosperity, or at least we did when it was still called Let's Rob Mick Jagger, but last night's debut episode was a huge let down. I mean, this is Donal Logue, the man who played Jimmy the Cab Driver on those great MTV adverts, but the only consistent laughs last night came from jokes delivered by, and I'm not kidding here, Mick Jagger.

Nevertheless, we're willing to give the show a few weeks before we jump ship, mostly because we really want to like this show. Logue can be very good (we remember liking The Tao of Steve quite a bit when we saw it); and, plus, the first episode of 30 Rock was pretty crap, too, and look how that turned out. Maybe Knights, once it gets all this unfunny exposition out of the way, will be a good television show. But the question is: will it last that long? Ratings were terrible (fourth-place), and ABC doesn't seem to be giving it a fraction of the publicity and support that NBC has given to their glorious comedic star-child, Tina Fey.

Our fingers are crossed.

We here at The Shit could not get enough of Arrested Development during its too-short three-season run. Neither could we get enough of Michael Cera's brilliant and understated performance as George Michael, the show's awkward emotional center; so, naturally, we are very glad we found this on YouTube. "Impossible Is the Opposite of Possible" is Cera's tongue-in-cheek parody of über-douche Aleksey Vayner's "video resume," brought to the attention of the internets last year by Gawker.

This video has already been splashed all over the web, but we thought we'd take the opportunity to link to a wonderful interview with Michael Cera, which was conducted sometime during Arrested Development's final season. It's a nice piece, which we recommend you take a look at; Cera is obviously an intelligent and interesting young man, and he's funnier than most people twice his age. Though, to be fair, most of them aren't professional comedians.

Over at The Onion A.V. Club Blog, they're soliciting questions for an upcoming feature in which Miss Silverman will be resolving all of your most bothersome concerns and uncertainties about love and, we hope, the etiquette of eskimo gangbangs. One of our favorites would have to be this sincere and anonymous inquiry:

Like most women, my girlfriend is very self-conscious about her body. When we "do it," she insists on turning the lights out. I love her body and want to actually see it, but no amount of reassurance or pleading on my part will change her mind. How do I convince her to leave the lights on?

tie her up, then turn the lights back on

How drunk do you have to get yourself to have sex with Jimmy Kimmel?

It's called The Riches, and it premieres March 12, on FX. It stars Eddie Izzard as the patriarch of a family of con artists (Minnie Driver plays his wife) who discover the wealthy Riches killed in a car crash and settle down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana after assuming their identities. We chanced upon an advertisment for the show on Friday night at 1 o'clock in the morning, and we wondered why in the hell we hadn't heard anything about this before. Does FX not have any money to spend for promoting its shows? Apparently not, judging by The Riches' official website, which looks like it was cobbled together in fifteen minutes.

We're surprised: Eddie Izzard has been, since the beginning of his career in the early 90s, very reluctant about attaching himself to a television series; he's seemed to enjoy the freedom offered by his movie roles, which demand far less of his time. We would hope, then, that when Izzard -- the man John Cleese calls "the Lost Python" -- decides it's time to star in a television series, he would pick something worthwhile.
