I just discovered that Late Night Underground has a video showing some of the hilarious behind-the-scenes action from the “fight” over who made Mike Huckabee.

I found this fantastic page (albeit late in the game) that summarizes the affects of the WGA strike on popular television shows. It indicates the number of episodes to be produced, the number aired, and the number remaining. Pretty convenient!

Okay, so today seems to have been YouTube day on my site, but I have yet MORE clips before the day is done…
I know that advertising isn’t typically the most original creative media, but I’ve noticed a more obvious pattern lately. First this one from Aflac using some classic characters in an all animated [...]

Sweet Mother of Chocolate Sauce!!!
The Daily Show has a new website, and it contains a full archive of the show (at least the Stewart era so far), searchable, tagable, embeddable, incredible! The episodes are broken into nice, bite-sized nuggets with a short ad either before, after, or both - generally a tolerable 7 seconds. [...]

Tonight I gave Bionic Woman a second and final chance. I couldn’t bring myself to write it off after one ridiculous episode, but two was more than enough.
Before I continue, I’ll state (for my own protection) that Valerie feels the same way as myself about my main grips with the show.

It’s only halfway through as of the writing of this post, but I must say that the Family Guy “Star Wars” episode is absolutely amazing. This comes as close as possible to the concept of “loving mockery” as possible. From the music to the scene transitions to much of the dialog, this is [...]
