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 [...]

I’m going on a trip tomorrow. Since I tend to regress on family vacations, I thought I’d purchase a puzzle book to occupy myself on the plane. Let it be known I haven’t stayed awake on a plane in three years. Anyway, feeling optimistic I went to my local bookseller today and purchased this:
It’s the [...]

Suresh Joachim straddles the line between nuts and totally awesome. He just broke his own Guiness World Record for most nonstop broadcast-television watching by logging 72 hours in front of the tube. He probably broke several other internal organs as well as Joachim admitted to drinking “between 25 and 30 cups of coffee.”
I think the [...]

It’s that time of week again folks!
Marry: Who’s Wedding Is It Anyway?
I’ve always been a fan of this show but over vacation its been a constant companion. Love the planners, love the bitchy brides, love the grooms who pick ugly tuxedos. It only seems right to marry this show this week.
Bop: Duane Lee, Dog The [...]

The set is scheduled for release in mid August. I will be sending even more cards [...]

So as previously mentioned, this week has been wackadoodle. Between snowstorms and other freak events, my real life is seeping into my blog life. Double lame. I’ve been so caught up in the busy-ness of the last few days that I haven’t been able to watch as much TV as I usually do. It sucks. [...]

Today was a little rough on TV nuts like myself.
First I came across this little gem on Stereohyped: Dominos is teaming up with the folks at Tivo for a wacky marketing scheme. Soon, when broadband Tivo users fast forward through a Dominos commercial, an icon will pop-up that asks the user if they’d like to [...]

When you add it all up I follow 6 hours of prime time television on the average Thursday night. Because of scheduling and general sleepiness, watching all of these shows would be nearly impossible without the aid of my DVR and the internet. That got me to thinking; I bet a ridiculous amount of people [...]

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia costars Kaitlin Olson (Dee) and Rob McElhenney (Mac) tied the knot last Saturday in California.
(File this under confessions of a bad TV blogger: I didn’t even know they were dating.)
I bet the wedding was flippin’ raucous.
Kudos to the happy couple!

It’s a holiday weekend! If you’re not spending your final hours of summer getting outside, sucking down ice cream cones or wearing all of the white clothes you can, feel free to stay inside and catch all the action on the boob tube.
The good folks over at one of my favorite TV blogs, The Remote [...]
