American Idol’s Top 10

My thoughts on the Top 10. It turns out i don’t need to post my thoughts, but Television Without Pity summed it up perfectly for me:
…when Amanda sings, I feel like I’m in a bar; when David Cook sings, I feel like I’m in a club; when Brooke sings, I feel like I’m [...]

Newspapers, The Wire, Star Tribune, and the T-Wolves

Newspapers are on the way out. My friend Jules has been telling me this for years. I saw two more big pieces of evidence this week.
First, i read the fantastic article in Esquire called “A Newspaper Can’t Love You Back” by David Simon, the creator of The Wire. The article is a [...]

Heroes is Pretty Good

The writing is bad, the characters are more and more unrealistic, but i still love to watch every week. Last night’s episode was decent but not great.

Get Your Ari Gold Fix

This post is really only so i can repost the video below, which is gold baby, Gold!
Along with the rest of the world, i get pure satisfaction from watching HBO’s Entourage. It like a TV-show pixie stick - pure sugar. Some call it the Sex In The City for men, as it’s 4 guys [...]

More Like “Lame Monster”

This just came to my attention, but apparently the Cookie Monster on Seaseme Street no longer eats cookies, he only eats VEGETABLES. wtf?!

Political correctness is robbing our C-Man of his cookies! Ah, where is the world going?

Tivo3 is Coming!

It was announced last week in Tivo’s latest FCC report that the long awaited Series3 is coming “soon”  Mostly it’ll be an upgrade for users who want to use Tivo with the cable HD signal.  I love my tivo and have been hesitant to upgrade to HD, a) because i’m waiting for flat screen prices [...]
