OK.
Guy Fieddy (if it is spelled any other way, it is unforgivable making people pronounce it as such).
When I can’t sleep I find his ‘Diners, Drive-ins and Dives’ is on incessantly when most mere mortals are asleep and therefore safe from his tour of bacon grease, beef fat and lard.
I have no problem with the [...]

What is with all these programs on yeti and chupacabra and aliens and UFOs?
I think I liked you better when you were just WWII and Nazis and Hitler. Maybe.
I’ll even take the “History’s Mysteries: The Wheel” or “Amazing Discoveries:Water” Just make sure you keep getting Edward Herrmann to narrate everything.
Thank you.

Before we get to anything else in this post, can I just say, I love the font and the titles for this show. Seriously, not a huge thing, but I really do love them.
Let’s go over the clichés before we get to the new stuff. Our character (creature-monster-villain-hapless experimentee) for the week is [...]

Let’s start off with what was good; I didn’t feel there were as many clichés in this episode as there have been. The other good thing – no trip to Massive Dynamic this week. Also, we still have the cow. And, I’m really starting to like the cow.
Unfortunately, I’m still not entirely sure what this episode [...]

Although this episode was called “Ghost Network”, the episode was hardly about that – and sadly, had no ghosts.
The Ghost Network is a network that is on a different frequency than what is used for phones and radio transmissions, but if it could be tapped into, it would give someone a secret network that would allow [...]

Also known as the Ultimate Celebration of the Banal! YYYYEEAAAAAAAAHHHH.
The 5 Hosts (aka The 5 guys relegated to hosting reality show programs because they have no discernible talents of their own) are out to open the show and get this…they’ve got nothing. It’s not a bit. They really are such blow-hards that they couldn’t agree [...]

When someone starts off a story, “Omigod, I felt like the biggest geek one time…I was at this Doctor Who meet-up group and…”
If the thing that made you feel like the biggest dork was not simply being at the Doctor Who meet-up group, then I have some seriously high expectations for this story!
PS – Who’s [...]

I’ve heard some people say, “Who even cares about them anymore?”
But when you learn - SPOILER ALERT – that no one dies. And that, more importantly, Mr Big’s real name is John Preston, I think you’ve learned enough.
We can fully support that as the most awesome, most deserving name for some epic, vaunted and dreamy character in [...]

Here’s a little tip: If you leave the television on, do not be surprised if while you’re bringing in groceries you hear this:
“So I left and then went outside and politely took his windshield out.”
(Someone named “Judge Alex”) incredulously asks, “You are saying you “politely” bashed in his windshield with a baseball bat?”
“Yes sir. That [...]

You don’t need to watch television but if you do, sometimes you can learn things. And in general, I like learning. BoyHowdy, delivering new information to me via a box full of multi-colored moving images is the way to go! Passive learning. Look at me sprawled out on the couch…Learning!

In some sort of brilliant marketing idea, two head writers for CBS shows are switching roles and writing for the others’ show. Sounds kinda neat, right?
Some opportunities to open up creatively. Stretch your legs, get out of your rut. But the two shows?
CSI and Two and a Half Men. Huh? Those two shows couldn’t be [...]

“People don’t think I’m smart when they meet me. So then when they find out I’m smart, they’re kind of intimidated. Cause I’ll blow you away with my looks and then turn around and blow you away with my brains.” So, she’s gonna blow you a couple of different ways. (Spoiler: She’s not actually too [...]

The Daily Show and the Colbert Report will be funny again as early as TO-DAY!
The comedies like MyName is Earl, The Office and 30 Rock will probably do 6-8 new episodes airing at the end of March or April. SNL will return Feb 23. Dramas will take longer and only the established ones will return. [...]

In this writer-striken season of pablum (Cashmere Mafia. – It’s Sex and the City but with four Miranda’s!), one tends to be more excited by things than normal.
Are you excited about Survivor?
In truth, it should be called Fans Vs. Contestants.
I haven’t watched every season of Survivor but I am pop culturally aware of almost all the [...]

“Kath and Kim,” a hit Australian comedy of a 20 something living in the suburbs with her 50ish divorcee mom is going to be American-ized.
In the US version it is to star Selma Blair and Molly Shannon.
Ummm.
They’re like 8 years apart in age.
Also it’s rumored that Ice Cube will play B. A. Barracas and Woody [...]

I think a good wager to make with your co-workers for Super Bowl Sunday (or even other home town rivalries) is to force the loser to dress up like the winning teams’ mascot.
This year one would be forced to either dress up like a Patriot (Tri-corner hat and a smart velveteen suit with knickers and a [...]

Sarah Silverman was on (her boyfriend) Jimmy Kimmel’s tv show and had some things she needed to get off her chest. Or off her ”apples.” Whatever.

Matt Damon delivers some awesome back-ups. And a big ‘Thank You’ to Matt for constantly referring [...]

I know Jeddler has been in the position where you make the pitch, thinking the shoot will need 20+ people and 10-15 days and the customer says, “Congratulations, you’ve won! But I need it in 4 days and we can only afford 4 people. Have fun”
Anyhow, this is what these guys did with 4 people [...]

Brief QI (you do know the British quiz show hosted by Stephen Fry, right?) segment that expounds on some of the supposed similarities of Mithras and Christianity.

A few thoughts on SciFi’s mini series Tin Man that I just got around to watching last night (4 hours of tv takes less than 3 hours thanks to DVR! Thanks, DVR); it bears mentioning that the dialogue was really clunky at times and you may have to have an understanding of Zooey Deschanel’s acting [...]

The show is about horror writer Garth Marenghi who (along with his publisher) stars in the tv series based on his own works. [...]
