Its been awhile since we had a big TV weekend hasn’t it? It’s snowy here so the timing is perfect. A little sledding, a little hot chocolate and then hunkering down for the night with some big TV. Here’s what I’m watching: Tonight: This one is probably only relevant to the fellow Sconnies who [...]

A Few Remarkable Things About Tonight’s Emmys
Posted in Award Shows, Reviews, tagged 30 Rock, Bryan Cranston, Don Rickles, Golden Globes, January Jones, Jon Hamm, Josh Groban, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Laugh-In, Oprah, Ricky Gervais, The Emmy Awards, Tina Fey, West Wing on September 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It ended on time, even a few minutes early. Though it got a little annoying towards the end with every presenter reminding people the show was running late and that their jokes were cut. Worse? The jokes that stayed weren’t that good. Watching Ricky Gervais blow a few minutes on a good bit was well [...]

This is my Super Bowl. I’ve booked and scheduled every minute of my day today to ensure I can successfully be in front of my television and ready to watch in awe without feeling guilty about homework, job applications, etc. I’ve studied, I’ve read thousands of blogs entries and watched even more hours of TV [...]
Don Draper Would Tell Me I’m Being Childish

So it’s no secret that I’m a little into Mad Men. This weekend that love hit a new level of potential fanaticism. First, I spent sometime researching the title and artist of the MM theme song and downloading a copy. In case you were wondering, it’s not an original song for the show. It’s a [...]
Suck It Haters! Kathy Griffin Wins Another Emmy!

Kathy Griffin took home her second Emmy for Best Reality Program for her hit show, My Life on the D-List. Her speech was low on controversy this year but still gave the crowd a few sassy remarks. Griffin is coming off an amazing week as she just added an unprecedented 4th show at the Kodak [...]
I Want This Shirt!

Glarkware is selling this shirt dubbed “Office Manager.” The silhouette bears a striking resemblance to Joan Holloway, Sterling-Cooper’s curviest admin. Anyone secretly hoping the Mad Men cast wears period costumes to the Emmys? Photo: glarkware.com
Cloris Leachman Is F’n Brilliant!

I don’t watch Dancing With The Stars but I do like to see which “celebs” they can wrangle to participate. The list has improved each go round and this season’s crop of stars includes some pretty notable names (Beijing Gold Medalist Misty May-Treanor and gastrosexual Rocco DiSpirito to name a few) but none of them [...]
Seinfeld Rolls Into Town
Posted in In The News, tagged Seinfeld, The Emmy Awards on August 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
For some reason, Seinfeld is hitting the road. Not Jerry Seinfeld, a nationwide bus tour celebrating the popular ’90s sitcom. Think of it as a Weinermobile about nothing. The Seinfeld Campus Tour features a mini-museum with show props (Fusilli Jerry!) one of the show’s Emmys and some scripts. There are also a spot where fans [...]
Just Say No! To Inhalants, Not Intervention.
Posted in Episode Re-Cap, tagged A&E, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Intervention, Kathy Griffin, Kathy Griffin My Life On The D-List, The Emmy Awards on August 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
When I heard the latest episode of Intervention highlighted a young woman abusing computer duster I laughed out loud. I know inhalants are serious business, (in fact, I’m still a little shaken by that video we watched in 8th grade where the kid died in the bathroom at the movie theater after trying them once). [...]
Chiming In On NBC’s Lack of Love for 30 Rock

NBC is pimping out its fall line-up during the jillion and one commercial breaks during the Olympics. I’ve seen multiple spots for The Office, (including an excellent one about a game called slapface) Heroes, and My Name Is Earl. I’ve even seen spots for new shows like that Christian Slater thriller. Sidenote: I have a [...]

So there’s a lot to say about the Emmy nominees and I may not be able to get it all in this post. First, if you take a quick look at the list (which is impossible by the way, there are a lot of categories) you’ll discover a few shows/actors/etc that were really surprising. Best [...]

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 [...]
