There’s quite a TV traffic jam tonight. I plan on recording or watching pretty much everything on this list and then making decisions as to what stays on my schedule. It’s going to be a long night.
-Season Premiere (The 20th to be exact): The Simpsons – Fox 8/7c
-Season Premiere: Amazing Race 13 – CBS 8/7C

I did a triathlon today and I’m tried. I really could’ve used some of this.
At least I wasn’t this guy…yikes.

He’s back! I havent been this excited since Popeyes Chicken put a location in my home city. Last night, HBO’s favorite comedian, Chris Rock, premiered his fourth primetime comedy special and boy did he not disappoint.
Don’t Kill The Messenger took on a daring new format in which Chris taped performances in London, New York, [...]

Frankly, I don’t which corn tribute I am more offended by:
Vice-Presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin:
Or American Idol runner-up David Archuleta:
Scary! And a-maize-ing!

Paul Newman: The King of Cool

Paul Newman passed away last night at the age of 83. He was a legendary actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He’ll be remembered for his beautiful work on and off screen and for a member of the Cool Old Guys Club which now consists of Robert Redford, Anthony Hopkins and Clint Eastwood.
Though Newman is best known [...]
The Office Premiere: Thoughts?
Posted in Season Premiere, tagged NBC, The Office on September 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I really liked tonight’s season premiere of The Office. I’ll try to keep this relatively spoiler free for those of you who are time-shifting tonight.
Last year’s hour-long episodes didn’t work for a lot of folks because the familiar quick, snappy pacing of the show was diluted to fill the extra 22 minutes. I was [...]

Today, we celebrate edubTV’s first birthday! Thanks to all of you, (friends, lurkers, and even the angry Archuleta fans) for making this year a blast.
We’re kicking off year two in high style as makeover plans for the blog are in the works. Hopefully we can get all our ducks in a row in time for [...]

Tom Petty’s been reminding us all summer that “the waaaaitttting is the hardest part.” It’s been a long, relatively unfunny summer and I’m ready to welcome The Office back into my life.
Here’s some updates to get you ready for season five (Sidenote: who knew they’d make it this far?)
The New York Times did a really [...]
Least Shocking News Of The Day

American Idol season 2 runner-up Clay Aiken finally came out of the closest. Kudos buddy! Though I’m sure there are a million and one teenage girls and older moms who are so sad to hear they’ll never be Mrs. Aiken, you just gave hope to many more gentlemen fans.
The media blast for this is off [...]
Amazing Race Flies High

Amazing Race won the Emmy for Best Reality Competition Program last night for the 6th time in a row. (Anyone else think it’s sad Phil Keoghan didn’t get nominated for best host? He runs circles around Howie Mandel.)
Anyway, the win really amped me up for season 13 of the show. In a really cool promotional [...]
A Few Remarkable Things About Tonight’s Emmys

It ended on time, even a few minutes early. Though it got a little annoying towards the end with every presenter reminding people the show was running late and that their jokes were cut. Worse? The jokes that stayed weren’t that good. Watching Ricky Gervais blow a few minutes on a good bit was well [...]

This is my Super Bowl. I’ve booked and scheduled every minute of my day today to ensure I can successfully be in front of my television and ready to watch in awe without feeling guilty about homework, job applications, etc. I’ve studied, I’ve read thousands of blogs entries and watched even more hours of TV [...]
