This may stir up some debate, as it is highly subjective, but the following shows get my nod for the greatest theme songs in the history of television, broken down by specific category. Some of the videos have hits or glitches or are slightly cut off, but nonetheless, enjoy the musical interlude- Happy Friday!

Remember just a month ago, when the Mets were in serious contention for a playoff spot? They were in striking distance of the evil Braves, and they even had the lead in the wild-card race for a nice stretch. And this was all without Beltran! It looked like the Mets could really [...]

The Noahs have new fences – three of them, in fact.  The backyard perimeter has been solidified so that Sherlock, our ever-escaping beagle, can no longer venture into our neighbors’ yards.  At least, he better not be able to, after what we paid to the fence company!  It wasn’t necessarily a relief to fork over [...]

If you haven’t already, go and read this interview with Bill Murray from GQ.  This is a guy who does not like to give long revealing interviews, and this one is a gem.  He talks about Ghostbusters 3, Garfield, Quick Change, his love of Kung Fu Hustle, and his hatred of Seinfeld(!).  I really love [...]

This isn’t the first post on this blog about some amazing new Star Wars merchandising, nor will it be the last.  But this.  Is.  Awesome.
Now you can have Yoda, Darth Vader, or C3PO (and in a few months, Han Solo too!) give you turn by turn directions on your TomTom GPS device.  I can no [...]

That’s right kids – according to the New York Post, Beavis and Butt-head will be joining Family Guy and Futurama in the history books of canceled, animated TV shows being resurrected years later.
The new episodes will keep the two morons in high-school, as well as keep the same crude animation style the show was famous [...]

On Saturday night, I got to meet geek godess Olivia Munn.  Jealous?  You should be.  Olivia, for the uninitiated, is the co-host of G4’s Attack of the Show.  And she’s a new correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (which she does not think is sexist, by the way).  And she’s a comedian, and [...]
