TWOP has a good recount of the comedies and dramadies that were cancelled way before their time. A sad list.
The NYT has a nice look at Adam Baldwin (Chuck's Casey, Firefly's Jayne).
JJ Abrams talks to the LA Times about the new Trek. Part 1 here, Part 2 here.
Ray Lewis says his free agency plans are in the hands of god now. No word on whether or not the big guy upstairs will chat with afterlife denizens Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar to get their take on the particulars of the LB's contract negotiations.
A question from Bill Simmons latest ESPN chat:
Tommy Hawk (Crozet, VA): Is it just me or have Juliet's "hoo-ha's" gotten bigger through these seasons of Lost? If this is a side-effect of time travel, then there are going to be a lot of women risking the nose bleeds and finding themselves a "constant" to get on this island!An astute observation. Yet another reason to love Juliet.
Extraterrestrial Roman Empires. (As a kid, I had a hardbound copy of that "Trigan Empire" comic collection. It was pretty damned cool).
DawgSports looks at breaking out the black jerseys in the future. For the record, I voted "Only games against major rivals should be blacked out, and then only on special occasion"
Could some craptacular Gulliver's Travels movie keep the delectable Emily Blunt out of Black Widow's spandex? Noooooo!
One more reason to love the oh-so adorable Jenna Fischer. She calls the message indicator on her CrackBerry the "red light of love."
The Weather Channel founder weighs in again on the "global warming" scam.
One of TV's best shows, The Middleman, coming to DVD!
Cute! Guess the Lego movie star.
A look at the hottest women of Star Trek. Some interesting choices in there, but I don't agree with their number 1 selection (if the list isn't topped by the reason we have a President O, then the list isn't entirely valid).
Finebaum's takedown of Hello Kiffykins.
The Daily Beast talks to Joss Whedon about Dollhouse.
Mo Ryan previews Monday's 3-D Chuck. Look, I like The Office. But don't we think that several years in, it's as big as it's going to get? Wouldn't it be better to give the post Super Bowl slot to a show that's a bit of an undiscovered gem, and could use the boost? Like Chuck, for example?
Good films by supposedly bad directors.
AWESOME "chart porn" from io9 on how to create your own original Star Trek adventure.
A funny look at how to write a Super Bowl story, depending on your forum.
TV Guide's favorite Sawyer nicknames.
No matter which way you take it, I'm buying what she's selling.
Please, please spare me this drivel during the game. Does Odin care who wins the game? Does Zeus? Does Anubis? The Flying Spaghetti Monster? However, I think Garuda might be pulling for the Cardinals.
Japanese Watchmen toys. Adorable. (which is kinda funny, given the nihilistic and dark tone of the book).
More ridiculous pandering and posturing and wasting of taxpayer dollars from our elected officials. (Isn't there a little bit more to be preoccupied with now?!) To save the children!! Look, does anyone think this noise would be loud enough to actually be heard? Or that regular (non "noise making") cameras wouldn't be used for "nefarious" purposes? Or that video couldn't be used instead? Jesus Tittyfucking Christ, this kind of stuff makes me understand the terrorists.
Stewart Mandel looks back at the high school QB class of 2005. (Joe Cox was number 6, BTW).
An unbelievably fun look at 1970s sci-fi. How many do you recognize?
Are these the ugliest uniforms known to man? Even worse the the Vols, Gators or Clemson?

Totally agree on the post-Super Bowl slot going to The Office. I'm a huge Office fan, but it seems to make more sense from the network's perspective to try and pump some life into some of their newer shows, especially since they are struggling so mightily in the ratings.
ReplyDeleteBesides, hour-long episodes of The Office are usually some of the weakest, in my opinion...too much filler.
Never mind, I take it back...that opening segment was some of the funniest TV I've ever seen. I have watched it three times already, and I'm still wiping my eyes.
ReplyDeleteTHE FIRE IS SHOOTING AT US!!!!
Well "strategically" I still don't like the Office/Chuck post SB move, but after finally watching The Office, I think you're right. That opening was one of the laugh out loud, funniest things I've ever seen in my life. While the whole ep was funny (except for the Jack Black movie thing), that whole fire drill bit was a work of comic genius. I just think about it, and start giggling. Good stuff.
