The New York Times ran an interesting article yesterday about the parallels between seasons 6 and 7 of the popular NBC drama and our current election.
Some of the parallels are Sen. Obama is eerily similar to Matt Santos (played by Jimmy Smits), the 40-something idealist up and coming Latino Congressman, with two young children who [...]

The Trailer For 24 – Season 7!
Posted in Unabashed Praise, tagged 24 on October 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Hey Bauer-Heads! The trailer for Season 7 of 24 hit the internet today and it looks unreal. Tony’s back and he’s a bad guy, the president is a lady, things get hijacked, Jack tells congress to shove it, and Chloe continues to be as snarky as ever.
With all of this time off, (including a break [...]
MTV Launches MTV Music to Finally Silence Haters

Seriously.
MTV launched a new web portal MTV Music this week. The site houses over 25,000 music videos for you to watch whenever you want.
However, even with that many clips, I took a shot and typed in some of the videos I wanted to see…and they weren’t available. Not too surprising. I guess my taste for [...]

It’s almost Halloween TV fans and the spooktacular week ends with The Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror XIX next Sunday at 8/7c. Can you believe this is the 19th go-round for this now iconic TV special? My favorite is still Treehouse of Horror VII, the one where we find out Bart has an evil twin named [...]

Week 2 of Marry, Bop or Kill is going to be a doozy. So much good TV to celebrate.
Marry: Jon Hamm
I was pretty sure I wanted to marry Jon Hamm after his quick guest spot on a Gilmore Girls episode a few years back, but last night only solidified my resolve. Hamm hosted SNL last [...]

And now the first ( and probably last) installment of So Happy, So Sad. It’s exactly what it sounds like.
So Happy: Amy Poehler gave birth to a baby who could quite possibly have the best comedy genes ever. Archie Arnett was born yesterday, weighing in at 8 lbs 1 ounce. Mom, baby and husband/new dad [...]

1. Another sparkling performance by Tina Fey playing everyone’s favorite Lady Governor on SNL Thursday tonight.

Any True Life Is More Interesting Than Mine
Posted in Reviews, tagged MTV, Paris Hilton's My New BFF, True Life on October 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The last vestige of anything remotely positive on MTV is the show True Life. If you’re not familiar, True Life follows young people with out of the ordinary lives.
For the past decade I’ve been a bit enamored with the program and have seen nearly every installment. There’s something about watching actual people cope with a [...]
