The series premiere of Showtime’s latest pursuit, The United States of Tara, is currently streaming on sho.com. Just type in the word “tara” when prompted.
Seth over at Defamer had some not nice things to say about the first episode but I found it to be pretty interesting. Tara (played by Toni Collette) is a muralist/mom [...]

The set is scheduled for release in mid August. I will be sending even more cards [...]
Outside The Box: Rethinking iPhone Apps
Posted in Something Silly, tagged iTunes on December 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t often stray outside the confines of TV, but this is important. Take a look at the Top 5 iPhone applications America bought today. That’s right, people paid for these. In at number one? A virtual fart machine.
And not only did they pay for the fart machine, but they had the nerve to be [...]

Howdy Ho! This week was a snap.
Marry: Jason Segel
I took a vacay all last week and I spent a majority of my time truly relaxing. To that end, I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I’m knee deep into How I Met Your Mother on DVD. I started with season 1 on Friday and I’m already [...]
An Open Letter To Michael Cera

Dear Michael,
If the Gilligan’s Island movie comes to fruition and if Sherwood Schwartz (hard to believe he’s still kicking) comes to your house and begs you to suit up and play the role of Gilligan, just say no. Yes, he’s a TV legend but this movie is headed straight for late night monologue fodder.
Be affable, [...]

It’s Christmas Eve! Booya. Bored?
The new Muppet Christmas Special, A Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa is surprisingly funny considering the intended audience has a hard time coloring in the lines. Lots of celebs make an appearance including Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, Jane Krakowski and Jesse L. Martin.
Does anyone else confuse Muppets with characters from Sesame [...]

Is It Possible? Anderson Cooper Even More Adorable At One Time

Anderson Cooper’s yearbook photos hit the blogosphere yesterday and he is nothing short of a cutie pie.
And that quotation? How sharp. I bet everyone else just had weak Grateful Dead lyrics or Emerson B.S.

Yes, I know it’s Tuesday. However, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I will be half drunk and eating Italian food at the neighbors’, therefore, no time to talk TV. Let’s go ahead and dish now.
Fox is ripping off Sex and The City next season with a show about four, urban-minded single ladies. And oh yeah, [...]
In Living Christmas
Posted in Updates on December 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
There’s nothing going on today. No good TV (Though I did crack a few brief smiles during Shrek The Halls). No good TV news. Just kind of a ho-hum day.
What do we do with ho-hum days? We watch old clips of In Living Color.
Take us home Ceephus and Reecie!
Getting Lost In The Ad Blitz
Posted in Advertising, tagged ABC, Advertising, Lost on December 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Lost is kind of amazing. I don’t watch for the Easter Eggs, fine details, etc because it gets too hard to follow. But I do appreciate the acting, mystery, and suspense of the program.
The other aspect I appreciate about the show? The marketing! Season 5 premieres in January and ABC has a pretty sweet ad [...]
