The latest episode of Weeds took a turn for the serious…and it was a homerun. For the first time in 5 seasons, I did not laugh out load once. Sure, there were amusing sub-plots focusing on Celia’s make-up sales and Doug and Silas’ confiscated pot. But “Distinctive Horns” was an amazing episode due to maturity…something […]

Dollhouse just got even geek-tastic–ier. Jamie Bamber, aka ab-tastic Captain/Major/Admiral Lee Adama, is joining the erst-while Helo, Tahmoh Penniket, on Dollhouse. Which means Whedon language coming out of the prettiest member of the awesome Adama family. I’m trying to avoid the BSG-centered pun, but… Oh frack it. So say we all!
Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle brought some insight to David Letterman tonight with his list of “The Top Ten Things That Went Through Mark Buehrle’s Mind During His Perfect Game [on Thursday]” Why is this at all interesting?

If you choose to ignore the final 30 seconds or so of tonight’s final Samantha Who episode, you can really delude yourself into thinking that the series had a proper sendoff. One of the more painful of this season’s many painful losses (Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money, Privileged, Kings and Valentine), Samantha Who […]
Brian Williams is the funniest guy that most people assume isn’t funny. He tells Jon Stewart that he looked up to Walter Cronkite like Jon looked up to Carrot Top. The Hangover unexpectedly stands up to a second viewing- who knew I would love this movie? Not me, that’s for sure. But my love […]
