So Christopher Hitchens said women aren’t funny and Vanity Fair kept their lady readers happy by devoting last month’s issue to the women of comedy. There was a time when I might have agreed with Hitchens but something has happened–my favorite SNL cast member is a woman (Kristen Wiig), my favorite [...]

The Temptation of Punky
Until tonight I hadn’t watched Punky Brewster since I was a kid but man this show was golden. It never ceases to amaze me how vividly you can remember stuff you find on YouTube that you haven’t seen in over 20 years, I can’t believe it’s been that long.
This drugs [...]

There’s hope for anyone with the right words
I have loathed David Duchovny forever, seriously FOR EVER. From the moment I first heard him speak on the X-Files I hated him. He was always so smug and had the lips of a geriatric vageen (sic!). Then there was Natascha McElhone (I had to look the name up), I loathed her in The Truman [...]

The BEST new show is ‘Heroes’
Okay so I posted about ‘Six Degrees’ being a great new show, forget it. If you want just one new show to watch this fall it HAS to be ‘Heroes’. You know when you watch a show like ‘Lost’ and you get that giddy feeling because they’re f**king with you so bad and you love [...]

NBC Viral Video Whores…
Apparently the anti-establishment web geeks are bitter that NBC has been using YouTube to promote their new fall schedule and have been hating on the comment boards like Klansmen on an interracial dating site, so NBC is snapping back and guess what? NBC is funnier than the hippies, go figure. This [...]

J.J. Abrams’ Six Degrees is a Goodie!
J.J. Abrams is on a roll after establishing hits like ‘Alias’ and ‘Lost’ and after signing lengthy production deals to the tune of 55 million dollars this year I’m sure we can look forward to more greatness, enter ‘Six Degrees’. The pilot aired on ABC last night and I have to say that as sappy [...]

I love HBO
When I was a little kid we had a cable descrambler at home (stealing cable back then was okay like smoking and listening to Kenny Loggins) and we would get HBO which as any Canadian knows is amazing seeing as we still don’t have it to this day…Anyways, I loved HBO back then for shows [...]

Yahoo! has created a sub-site and blog based around Kevin Sites’ travels throughout war ravedged areas around the world, from Nepal to Haiti and [...]

What the eff is a ‘Mobisode’?
Last year Fox trademarked the term ‘mobisode’ to denote episodic video content available for viewing on a mobile phone…aren’t they clever! Well last year they made a ‘24′ rip-off and had it available for download and this year they’re doing a spin-off of their new show ‘Prison Break’ and this time they’re partnering with Toyota [...]
