Time for yet another Tune-in Alert, where I let you know that a show I’ve worked on is going to air.
Tonight, Quirky premieres at 10pm on Sundance Channel!
Quirky is a show about the ground-breaking company of the same name that helps people turn their invention ideas into reality. It’s a cool concept for a [...]

Of course Bert and Ernie shouldn’t get married; is that the kind of message we want to send to our kids? That its OK for married people (or Muppets) to sleep in separate beds?
If 80’s music is so great (and we all know that it is), why aren’t they making any more of it? [...]

It’s a DVR alert!  Tonight, tune into BIO channel (formerly Biography) at 10pm for The Tragic Side of Fame. (It will also be repeated again at 11pm and then at midnight; click here for more showtimes.  That way if you have a DVR conflict because you’re already recording Futurama and Wilfred/Louie in the 10pm hour, [...]

As I mentioned earlier, this summer, Courtney and I are watching Friday Night Lights. (Yay for Netflix streaming!)  We’ve gotten through the first season, and it’s a damn fine show. (even if it isn’t nerdy enough for SOME people.)
I’m not the world’s biggest football fan, so a show about people in a small Texas-town [...]

This morning, the 2011 Emmy nominations were announced. The usual suspects were all well represented: Mad Men, 30 Rock, everything o HBO.
And as usual, Fringe has gotten no love. Sure, Joshua Jackson got to read the nominations, but no, that does not count.
Come on, Emmy people! Fringe had another amazing [...]

I was, admittedly, late to the Whedon-verse party.  But as previously chronicled on this blog (much to James’ chagrin), I found the pure joys of the nerd-worshipped’s Joss Whedon’s creations Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel series.  I loved Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog, and though Dollhouse was an odd concept, I stuck around for both [...]

It’s been ten years and 200+ episodes, and Smallville has officially come to an end. So how did Friday night’s finale wrap things up?
Obviously full spoilers follow.
Smallville has had some amazingly great moments over the years, and I’ve been a loyal watcher for a long time. But one thing the show has typically [...]

What is meta? Wikipedia says the prefix is used to mean about (its own category). So a blog post about blogging. Or a song about songs.
Or a TV show about TV shows.
Sometimes such exercises in meta don’t work – remember Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip? But other times, [...]

Man, I love Norm MacDonald.
He was my favorite Weekend Update anchor from my youth – his punchlines and his non-punchlines and his whole unique style of telling jokes was just brilliant.  I know there were a lot of people who didn’t “get” what he was doing, but I think something about that made him actually [...]

Remember Rocko’s Modern Life?  It was a Nicktoon from the 90’s, but unlike Doug, Rugrats, and Ren and Stimpy, it never really got the love.
Well, I loved it as much as I loved those other three shows, so I couldn’t help but be excited by the news that the first season is coming to DVD!  [...]
