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 [...]

Tonight was my first busy night of television since before the Strike. ABC’s Thursday night line-up (Ugly Betty, Grey’s, Lost) premiered tonight and NBC tried out a new time-slot for 30 Rock. Both of these tidbits were great news for me, especially on the same night. The time slot switch made it possible for me [...]

CBS had its first new Monday night comedy block since before the writers strike. They were competing with Fox dramas, reality heavyweights (The Bachelor and Dancing With The Stars) on ABC and a whole host of new reality on cable. Well see the official results tomorrow but I am curious as to how these shows [...]

I’m glad the Writer’s Strike is almost over. Tonight, for two hours, NBC is airing a little special called The 100 Most Outrageous Moments of All Time. What does that even mean? Caught on tape? Moments with animals? In Black History? In Pop Culture? And who’s deciding these moments? Is there a scale of outrageousness? [...]

Two of my favorites actresses recently announced that they’re preggers. Mary Lynn Rajskyb (That’s Rice-Cub) of 24 fame is due at the end of the summer. I hope she has a girl and names it Terry Schematic Rajskyb. That would be a fitting tribute. Chloe is what Rajskyb is known for, but her role as [...]

The Golden Globes sucked. Worse than the lack of stars at the event? Billy Bush providing commentary. Attention douchebag: You are not a media critic. No one cares if you think Californication is “so cool.” WGA President Patric Verrone had some insightful things to say about the strike to the Fox Business Network. The most [...]

In Florida last week. Two signs the strike is working. Two signs it needs to end immediately. The Golden Globes are canceled. After NBC insisted they would go on without writers, nominees or presenters they finally heard themselves talk and canceled the telecast. Instead, the winners will be announced at a press conference that is [...]

I missed you guys on Monday. Not too much happening this week or last because of the holiday. Talks are stilled virtually stalled out. It’s not looking good. Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart are returning to the air on January 7th, without writers. The WGA granted a waiver to the Spirit Awards. Awesome. Since the [...]

NBC late-night heavyweights Jay Leno & Conan O’Brien are headed back to work on January 2nd. The press releases from both hosts sited the non-writing staff as the primary reason for the return. While it’s admirable, it’s also disheartening. Re-runs of late-night shows are the only evidence of the strike for some people. If they [...]
