Personal sidenote: The last project I need to do to earn my Masters is due on Friday. I should probably put the HDU off for a week. Luckily (or not so luckily) due to swine flu, the media is a little less concerned with TV news this week.
Interesting Award update: The Office took home a [...]

This little tidbit of research kind of explains a lot.
Four studies at Miami University of Ohio and the University of Buffalo revealed that watching TV can “drive away feelings of loneliness and rejection.” Basically, your favorite TV show can act as a buffer against sadness, and make you think you have a social life, when [...]

After the hearty dose of Slanket humor in Thursday night’s episode of 30 Rock, its come to light that Tina Fey ordered Slankets for her staff, and had them embroidered to boot.I hope it’s true because it sounds like the best gift of all time.
Not only is she a believer in giving awesome presents, but [...]

Yes, Mad Men is that good. The critically acclaimed show took home the award for Top International Television Show last night at the British Academy Of Film And Television Arts Awards.
I watch the reruns from season two before Breaking Bad on Sunday nights. Mad Men is just so well done, it’s hard to believe they’re [...]

It’s been awhile since we lost a television star. Bea Arthur was more than just a celebrity, she was a television icon, a strong woman to be admired and a damn good actress.
Most people (my age especially) remember her best from Golden Girls. She was Dorothy, the level-headed, sarcastic, straight woman with some of the [...]

Not much going on the in the world of TV this week. We’ll keep it short, I actually have books I want to read. (Gasp!)
My favorite game show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, is coming back for a prime-time stint in August! Hooray, this also means we’ll get a dose of Regis sans Kelly. [...]

It’s unfair to compare siblings to each other, but it’s difficult almost inevitable when reviewing Mitchell Hurwitz’ two babies. Hurwitz is the brains behind Arrested Development and Fox’s latest Sunday night offering, Sit Down, Shut Up, an animated look at the lives of teachers at a Florida high school, which premiered last night.
The comparison’s to [...]

I don’t know if you’ve heard or not, but times are tough. Folks are running out of money, losing their jobs and homes left and right. When the trouble hits Main Street, the big companies suffer too. One way they’re saving some serious dough? Re-using their old commercials.
It makes good sense. For some companies, the [...]

Guess who’ll be playing Big Mama Morton in the latest run of Chicago on Broadway?
Grey’s Anatomy star Chandra Wilson! She’s pretty much the only actress on that show that doesn’t make me want to throw up. Wilson (and her character) are strong, proud and sassy and that’s the perfect recipe for Big Mama Morton. I’m [...]

I’m on an American Idol high right now. I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say history was made tonight, and I am thankful. This show keeps finding ways to keep me coming back. Some ways are easier on the eyes than others.
Let’s get to it!
Will Ferrell is going to hang out with Bear Grylls [...]
