Well gees! We’ve been knee-deep in season finales this week. Here some snappy reviews:
LOST: Whoa! What? Wait, what? We finally meet the mysterious, Jacob and lo and behold he’s handsome. Locke is dead but his body is alive an apparently inhabited by someone else. And did Juliet just ignite an H-Bomb? The season long pattern [...]

My mother taught me a lot and on her special day, I’d like to tell you about the things she taught me in respect to TV. It’s more than you’d think.
Never be afraid to fall asleep in front of the TV. If the show is good enough, “It will be on again.”
Every time The Sound [...]

Today marks Hulu’s 1st birthday! I have a hard time believing its only been a year. I visit it almost everyday, it helps me pass the time when I can’t go to sleep, and its saved me when the occasional DVR-memory lapse occurs. It’s the best site of its kind and I hope it sticks [...]

Do you realize how much good TV comes on Wednesdays? Wednesday is my new Thursday. Booya.
A bunch of analog stations switched over to digital yesterday ahead of the new deadline. So far the FCC is reporting very few issues. Sidenote: A kid I work with just submitted his application for a converter box. I asked [...]

January is basically the new September. Not only do you have to welcome brand new shows into your previously established and well-honed TV line-up (Damn you Trust Me!) but you have to find spots for old favorites that are just getting started like 24 and Lost. Without some organizational wizardry it can get pretty ridiculous. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s our first Hump Day Update of edubtv 2.0. Woohoo! Let’s get crackin’
Scanner ranked the Top 5 Worst TV Spin-Offs today and Saved By The Bell: The College Years came in number 1. Obviously these people have never seen…I tried to make a joke right there but upon further review I couldn’t think of a [...]

ABC’s new cop-drama Life on Mars is a BBC rip-off about a cop who gets hit by a car and wakes up in the thick of the 1970s. No cell phone. No DNA. No clue as to whether this is all a figment of his subconscious or whether he’s some sort of time traveler.
I missed [...]

For the first time, the folks over at The Emmys decided to let the fans in on the process and released the top 10 finalists in the Outstanding Comedy and Drama categories.
There’s no voting or fan favorite or anything. They just want you to know who the heavy hitters were before the list gets [...]

I won’t try to guess what’s going to happen on tonight’s 2-hour finale. The rest of the blogosphere, however, is a-buzz with conspiracy theories. Like the helpful sales associate at Target who tells you you can find that lotion at Wal-Mart, I’ve decided to send you somewhere else for all things Oceanic 6.
