I'm not sure why I'm so riled up about the situation with the Conan/Jay Tonight Show situation. I just feel really sorry for Conan. He is totally getting screwed by NBC and Jay Leno. NBC didn't give Conan any chance at all to be successful. Financially, the Jay Leno Show ...

Way back in August 2008, I wrote about a new show called Better Off Ted. It finally premiered about a month or so ago. Before it premiered, ABC was showing commercials for it non-stop. The commercials reminded me a bit of Scrubs, which I found interesting, since they are paired ...

Apparently, I'm not supposed to watch TV this week. It's National Turn Off Week. I came home from work on Monday and my wife told me about it. I had literally just come through the door. I think if I had taken a drink of water when my wife told ...

I have a love/hate relationship with the show Smallville. For those who aren't aware, it is a show on The CW in its seventh season that chronicles the life of Clark Kent before he assumes the Superman identity. The quality varies from episode to episode. One week it could be ...

NBC is offering four new shows free on Amazon's Unboxed digital video download service. If you have a broadband connected Tivo, you can download them straight to the Tivo and watch them on your TV rather than on your PC, which is a nice convenience. The four shows are:

Usually, when May rolls around and the networks present their fall schedule, I am totally into it and try to figure out what new shows I'm going to watch in the fall. I even go far enough to create a fancy grid of all of the old and new shows ...
