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 [...]

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 [...]

Amy Poehler’s new vehicle got some pretty crappy early reviews. I just watched it this afternoon, and I was pretty impressed.
Critics say it’s a little too close to The Office (mockumentary style, talking head interviews, naive protagonists you want to root for, etc.) While this critique may be valid, I’m not complaining. If three Law [...]

What a Monday folks! We had one long-held rumor confirmed for us, and one nice little surprise come to light.
First, the rumor in question. Yes, we’re being treated to two more seasons ( 13 episodes each) of Friday Night Lights. Bickety-Bam! NBC is continuing their partnership with Direct-TV so the dish will get the eps [...]

The “Seriously Adam Lambert? Really?” Edition
Speaking of which, Scandalist put together 5 covers of “Ring of Fire” better than his last night.
In other Idol chatter, check out some of Paula Abdul’s “poetry.” I thought she’d gone of the deep end this year but it turns out she’s always been this way.
Seth Rogen may host SNL [...]

This could be a first. The trailer for John Krasinski’s new movie, Away We Go, looks endearing, witty and just indie enough to work. It also stars Maya Rudolph and features the acting talent of some of my favorites including Allison Janney and Maggie Gyllenhaal. And guess who’s at the helm? Sam Freakin’ Mendes.
Love, love, [...]

I’ve been sitting on this all week to save it for Friday Funnies. I don’t care if everyone and their mother has since posted it. I’m doing it anyway because it’s that spectacular.

I’m writing this and watching LOST at the same time. Gosh I wish I knew more about physics!
Top Chef is getting a spin-off! It’s called Top Chef Masters and it’s going to star master chefs I guess. I don’t quite get it just yet, but I’ll probably end up watching it.
Everyone and their mother is [...]

Let’s call this the Grammy Love edition.
Jennifer Hudson – She took home the first award of tonight’s telecast and she looked fabulous doing it. Later she performed her guts out and left the stage a little teary. She’s kinda owning the night so far. You go girl!
Adele – I’ve been rocking her CD for awhile [...]

A lot of folks, myself included, watch TV as a form of escape from the ho-hum factor of their everyday lives. TV-living involves more explosions, more love scenes, better apartments and higher salaries. Why not seek solace in the unrealistic?
Today I thought about some of my favorite unrealistic TV couples. Now don’t get me wrong, [...]
