"Girls Just Need to Relax  --  or --  World Leaders and Strap-ons" This episode of I Can't Believe I'm Still Single, Episode 3, Season 3, opens with clip from film My Life's in Turnaround . ( Click here to read last week's episode recap of Episode 2, Season 3 ) Super ugly, bloated, dopey close up of Eric drooling over a "yuppie" blond lawyer.   Teeth crooked and dingy grey.  (I have a flashback to my high school days when I was in school with him after seeing this clip.   My God, he's invested in a lot of plastic surgery since then.) I marvel that this man stays employed. Shall I continue? We sit through those annoying opening credits with that obnoxious music. Next, close up.  Eric just as he is today.   Liposuctioned, plastic surgery,      [Note:  My sources tell me there has been zero plastic surgery or lipo.  So, to quote Vampire Weekend "I Stand Corrected."]    ...

I Can't I'm Believe Still Single , Season 3, Episode 2. Or:  How To Produce a Movie So Crappy Everyone Falls Into a Coma First. (For the record:  It's " My Life's In Turnaround 2 ") Seriously, what the fuck was that limp mess?  A comedy?  A documentary on film-making?  Or a cable access show shot in some creepy dude's apartment? Really?   That was the show?  Did I accidentally take an ambien before watching it? The beginning wasn't so bad.  The serious dialogue with Mark Ebner as an investigative reporter and Donal Ward appeared to be leading somewhere important.  I thought we might actually be setting the stage for something interesting, thematically.  Eventually.  It had to, right? But, then Eric gets in the car with his bag of God-only-knows what junk food and starts riffing on picking up chicks at his bank, and then the episode just falls to crap. The show also includes some humiliating, and really boring, audi...

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M STILL SINGLE , SEASON THREE -- SHOW NUMBER ONE: Meet Eric Schaeffer: He has a "Semi auto-biographical" show about him not finding true love or anything resembling it for many a season on Showtime.  God only knows why. Here's an older promo for his former seasons.  I can't find one new to put here.  Guess there's no money for promotion at the network this year. Meet some of his loyal entourage (Who happen to really be the main reasons I now watch this.) Meet Mark Ebner  Meet Mark Ebner, a feisty die-hard investigative journalist, and self-described " New York Times Best Selling Author , " who also was Schaeffer's college pal way back when.  Schaeffer wisely added Mark to the show last season, presumably, to have a "straight man" to play off.   What Schaeffer may not have expected was that the onscreen presence of Ebner, who is so intuitively comfortable tooting his own horn, onl...

Yes, folks, this is it.  The Premiere of Season Three!!! The big night I have been waiting for...for...a while. Yes, tonight is Eric Schaeffer's next installment of his big-ass car crash of ego-driven self-blather regarding his endless quest to find someone to love. And once again we get to see more about why that's so not a surprise. Looking forward to it! I Can't Believe I'm Still Single from CouryC on Vimeo .
