I had two P-Shad sightings this weekend. Yes, I call her P-Shad. First, the woman formerly known as Mama Huxtable, reprised her role as Mrs. Guster on Psych (and she had a gambling problem no less!)
Tonight, she lended her voice to the season finale of The Life & Times of Tim.

Last One On Board: Deadliest Catch
Posted in Reviews, tagged Deadliest Catch, Discovery Channel on November 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
So after years of everyone telling me “It’s really an amazing show,” I finally caught a few episodes of Discovery Channel’s mega-hit Deadliest Catch. And those superfans weren’t lying, Deadliest Catch is a fun way to spend an hour.
It’s not brilliant television, even brilliant documentary television but it sheds some light on an industry and [...]

Marry: Christmas Specials
I am already knee deep in Christmas movies and since it’s after Thanksgiving I no longer have to hide my enthusiasm. This weekend I watched Elf, The Santa Clause, The Santa Clause 2, This Christmas, White Christmas, the holiday episodes of Monk, Psych, two Christmas eps of Will & Grace and a shitty [...]
My Black Friday Shopping List

Happy Turkey Day edubbers!
I am coming to you live and direct from the “library” at my parents’ house. It’s basically a room no one goes in where they keep the books they’ve never read. Such is life.
I’m taking a break from dessert chatter to bring you my Black Friday Shopping List for tomorrow. I am [...]

This is a race against my computer battery dying. TV updates: Go, Go, Go!
The ladies on How I Met Your Mother are preggers. First Alyson Hannigan got knocked up and now Colbie Smulders is with child. They’re probably not writing either pregnancy into the show which means Robin and Lily will be holding a lot [...]
Oprah’s Favorite Things…On The Cheap
Posted in Makes Me Wonder, tagged Oprah on November 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s a recession era economy and even from her cashmere thrown, Oprah can tell the average American is feeling the pinch right now. With this in mind, Oprah is changing her “Favorite Things” episode a bit this year. Gone is the usual hour-of excess (last year she gave away a fridge/HDTV combo valued at over [...]
Coming Thursday: Your Black Friday Shopping List
Posted in edubTV, tagged Black Friday, DVD, Thanksgiving on November 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Hey Gentle Readers,
As many of you know, my brother and I are pretty fanatical Black Friday shoppers. We make sandwiches, we map out routes, we think of exit stratagies. Short of walkie-talkies we take Friday pretty seriously.
Every year I field the question: What are you shopping for? This time, I’ll deliver the goods. Since I’m [...]
24 Redemption: Thoughts?
Posted in Season Premiere, tagged 24, DVD, Fox, TV Movie on November 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So I fell in love with Jack Bauer all over again tonight during Redemption, the 24 TV-movie. It was far from groundbreaking but it was nice to see America’s home-grown sueprhero in a new environment (a fictional country in Africa) and meet the cast of sinister characters we’re going to run into in season seven. [...]

Sorry I’m late gang. Let’s get to it.
Marry: Steven Weber
He used to just be “the guy from Wings.” Now he’s playing the love interest on both Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. It’s no small feat to be the leading man for ABC Sunday night.
Bop: Pretty Much Everybody On It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Family Guy Hits Carnegie Hall

That’s a blog post title I never thought I’d write.
Next Monday and Tuesday the voice actors from America’s crudest family will hit the hallowed stage of Carnegie Hall to perform live readings of two episodes with musical selections performed by a 40-piece orchestra.
The event isn’t just for your work-a-day fan though. Tickets for the performances [...]
