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!”

Jon & Kate Plus Ei8ht Series Finale (Non-Review)
On at 9:57 am
If there was ever a ’must miss’ show on TV – cable or otherwise – it had to be Jon & Kate Plus Ei8ht’s series finale. It is the simple case of four years of obscurity followed by a year of uber-hype.
I am here to bury J&K, not to praise them.
I would say that there has never [...]
A VISIT FROM THE GHOST OF OPRAH’S FAVORITE THINGS PAST
On at 6:14 am
First she chose the Democratic Presidential nominee. Then she informed the world that her show was coming to an end in 2011. Now she has done the unthinkable – she canceled her annual most-watched “Favorite Things” show! What a Scrooge!

President Barack Obama has stolen Christmas from thousands of children by preempting the showing of the Christmas classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas with his speech on his new Afghanistan strategy.

For your viewing pleasure, here’s a clip from A Charlie Brown [...]
Dissecting Ed Begley Jr.’s Freak-out
On November 30, 2009 at 9:42 am
If ever the inverse of last year’s OISM petition rejecting the mythos of man-made global warming were crafted, I can tell you right now how the first paragraph will look:
Cut out the pussyfooting. Stripping of certification and mock Nuremberg trials will do entirely too little to scare dissenters into submission. We request they be prepped [...]

On November 24, 2009 at 12:11 am
After last week’s improbable loss by Justin Wren, our next hour finds – during Team Rashad training – the concussive waste laid to Matt becoming less a concrete reality and more another piece on a chess board which is falling down around him.
Coach Evans, and other fighters, voice ever louder discontent with what seems less like [...]

In 1976, the movie Network was released about an anchorman (no, not Ron Burgundy) who was being dropped because his ratings were sliding into the toilet. The late Peter Finch played Howard Beale who is fired by the fictional UBS network.

Going Brogue
On November 19, 2009 at 10:32 am
In August 2008, a journey began for a forty-something woman. Unknowingly, she had prepared for an almost impossible quest during the prior ten years, improving her craft and skill.

Virtually from the moment she [...]
Suzanne Somers Was Not Even A Good Sheriff, Now She Wants To Be Your Doctor

Ms. Somers’ tome; Knockout, Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer, is a look at “alternative medicine” as an [...]
Not Ready for Prime Time?
On November 17, 2009 at 9:59 am
It’s been two months since Jay Leno debuted with his prime time show on NBC. Like many people, I was curious about this new venture and watched Leno’s show every night the first week. After that, I stopped, as have many others, as Leno’s slipping ratings give evidence to. I do not watch much television [...]
