Father’s Day is quickly approaching and if your Pop enjoys giant hoagies, listening to jazz music, saying “just the right thing” and coordinating elaborate anniversary gifts then do I have an idea for you.
Bill Cosby and his wife found some of his old sweaters and his daughter is selling them on eBay to benefit the [...]

It’s LOST Finale Night
Posted in Season Finale, tagged ABC, blogs, links, Lost on May 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I won’t try to guess what’s going to happen on tonight’s 2-hour finale. The rest of the blogosphere, however, is a-buzz with conspiracy theories. Like the helpful sales associate at Target who tells you you can find that lotion at Wal-Mart, I’ve decided to send you somewhere else for all things Oceanic 6.
Three Important Questions [...]
Really? No It’s Fine I’m Just Surprised Is All
Posted in Makes Me Wonder, Uncategorized, tagged American Idol, Billboard, David Archuleta, David Cook, Music on May 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
As of tomorrow, David Cook will own 11 spots on the Billboard Hot 100. He is the first artist ever (at least in the Nielsen Soundscan era) to debut 11 songs in the same week.
Pros:
Archuleta doesn’t have 11 songs on the Top 100.
After a rocky season, American Idol proves it can still pack a punch.

Things Men Would Rather Do Than See the SATC Movie
Posted in Something Silly, tagged HBO, Sex and the City on May 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The good people over at Vulture talked to red-blooded American dudes about things they’d honestly rather do or experience as opposed to seeing the Sex And The City movie.
The list includes things as benign as eating someone’s booger and as ridiculous as getting attacked by one of Michael Vick’s dogs. Who says men aren’t over-dramatic?

Whistling A Legacy

If you can whistle the theme to The Andy Griffith Show or bop along to jazzy swing of the Dick Van Dyke theme then you have Earle Hagen to thank. Hagen was one of the most prolific composers for TV themes and scores in 1960s and 70s. He passed away yesterday at 88.
About his prolific [...]

I’ve come across some amazing links the past few days. Who would I be if I didn’t share these nuggets with the edubTV public? A jerk that’s who.
Thank you PEOPLE Magazine.com for making this bad-ass Gossip Girl vs. Golden Girls quiz. Do I feel like an idiot for getting half of them wrong? Perhaps. But [...]
American Gladiators Kind Of Rocked Tonight
Posted in Episode Re-Cap, tagged American Gladiators, NBC on May 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
There…I said it.
I caught the first hour of American Gladiators tonight and it was pretty fun. Don’t confuse fun with amazing television, but it was a new way to spend the hour nonetheless.
I’ve made fun of the show in past but you have to commend the producers for doing their best to keep the format [...]

In between grilling copious amounts of brats and burgers, remembering our troops and taking naps outside, please note that Memorial Day also offers a great opportunity for TV watching.
Like the days leading up to Christmas, Memorial Day is rife with TV marathons. If you have an addictive personality, just need to catch up on some [...]

McCain on Ellen

John McCain’s been making his rounds on the fluffier talk shows lately. He shined on Regis And Kelly and the Daily Show but Ellen Degeneres gave him a run for his money on her show yesterday.
Finally! It’s about time McCain started getting worked up and challenged again. The Dems are still feeling the heat in [...]
Jesus Probably Gets A Kick Out Of This

In the spirit of Flight of the Conchords, this fake Chrisitan folk group just got bumped on to the semi-finals on tonight’s Last Comic Standing season premiere.
They’re called God’s Pottery and they are pretty hilarious. I want them to go far because it’s high-time a musical comedian or two got in on the LCS fun.

SPOILER ALERT!!
Ok, I just finished catchin’ my breath after what I thought was a pretty solid Grey’s Anatomy. Yang sprang out of her funk (finally), Meredith was her usual dramatic self, George is retaking the intern exam, and some stupid kid jumped into a pool of cement and almost died. Whew, a fun-filled [...]
