24: Out of Time?
by: GeoffBurch
In the famous and frantic words of Jack Bauer, 24 could be “running out of time!” Fox is expected to soon announce the cancellation of 24, stopping the clock of the hit television drama after its current eighth season. Also in the legendary words of Jack, my reaction is: “Damn it!”
Debuting less than two months [...]

On Boozing Grannies and the News-Stations who Love them
On January 7, 2010 at 11:47 am
Last week, the news network that for some unholy reason still employs Rick Sanchez decided to give us all a taste of what life would be like with relatives we’d rather forget. No, we didn’t get to sit through a retelling of Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation in which the Griswolds were portrayed as heartless tax [...]
Snooki’s Got a Gun!
On at 10:13 am
Hold on to your “freakin’ poof” because Snooki from Jersey Shore stopped by the MTV Newsroom (check out the video here) to catch up with some of the good folks over there (who will hopefully, for the love of God, hire me one day) and to play a little shootin’ game called “Big Buck Safari.” With [...]

Connie Hines – The Passing of an Era. A Weird Era.
On December 29, 2009 at 8:00 am
The television world lost a quiet supporting player Tuesday.
Connie Hines, who played Wilbur Post’s wife on the 1960’s sitcom Mr. Ed passed away at the age of 79 from heart problems. I don’t have much to say about Connie. I’m sure she was lovely. The story of her passing got me thinking about Mr. Ed, [...]
True Blood: Season 3 Quickies
On December 21, 2009 at 10:34 am
Finally, a werewolf I can sink my teeth into without feeling like creeper. Move over Taylor Lautner and all your under-aged hotness. True Blood has cast the role of Alcide. He’s old enough…well, old enough that I don’t have to buy him beer.
Joe Manganiello has won the role of the rugged werewolf. You may remember [...]
Italian American Groups Shouldn’t be Outraged at “Jersey Shore”
On December 14, 2009 at 9:25 am
Here’s a message to Italian American groups who are outraged over the portrayal of Italian Americans in MTV’s reality show Jersey Shore: these aren’t fictional characters!
It’s one thing to be outraged at Hollywood’s obsession with portraying Italian-Americans as stereotypical mafia types, but it’s another when they simply turn the cameras on these (all too real) [...]
“The People Speak”: Matt Damon rewrites American History
On December 13, 2009 at 8:27 am
Hate history class?
If so, then you must have had to put up with one of those pesky history teachers that insisted on footnotes and citations. And your teacher must have forced you to study the humankind-hating words of dead, white males that are responsible for everything bad in this world.
Now there is no more need [...]

Conspiracy Watching on ‘V’
On at 11:16 am
Just when you thought H1N1 was bad enough, it turns out the aliens poisoned the flu vaccine. In the another sci-fi twist on the headlines incorporated into the ABC show V, the contaminated vaccine was the latest conspiracy the anti-alien rebellion discovered (and destroyed) to thwart the enemy’s plans for humanity.
Ever since comparisons were drawn, [...]
Pork Proponent Pummeled by Holiday Ham
On December 4, 2009 at 10:31 am
Don’t get your hopes up, Nancy Pelosi was not assaulted by a spiral ham. But proving that no good deed goes unpunished, TV chef Paula Deen was hit in the face by a ham. We’ve all seen the video, good ole Paula was in Atlanta, passing out hams at a food bank. Feisty as ever, [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 11: Road to the Finale
On December 3, 2009 at 9:46 am
Seeing as this is the last episode of TUF before its Saturday finale, I reckon it’s time for a celebration. In true Ultimate Fighter style, though, it’ll work according to “last man standing” rules – I’m going to be recounting two hours and four fights for you. Ready?
Okay, we all know Matt’s on [...]
