I admit I used to be a Lost maniac, but mostly for the first 3 seasons then I got progressively less interested, and I think I only saw a couple last season. Well now that this is the final season, I’m thinking about powering up the old Season Manager on my Tivo and get excited […]

Hit play, fight through the muddle and pluck the genius
Yes, the quality is crap and half the microphones are blown, but if you have 20 minutes in your day then you have time for Mick Jones on TV Party. The cult landmark TV Party (re-released awhile back on DVD) was a free cable access show in New York City that ran from 1978 to […]

Islands + Michael Cera + acid + space angels = No You Don't
I used to love Michael Cera back in the Arrested Development days just cos he was rad, then when he started playing the same gosh-gee-whillickers guy in the hoodie in every damn movie where they couldn’t get Napolean Dynamite he started getting on my nerves.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia's contribution to the holiday spirit

Secret Agents + Stir Fridays = Just the Tip
If Archer maintains being half as funny as its pilot, it’s gonna be perma-locked into my Tivo. Created by Adam Reed of Sealab 2021 fame, the show follows the exploits of the self-absorbed, narcisistic secret agent Sterling Archer who seems to survive on a shaky diet of lascivious ignorance and nepotism alone (his mom is […]

Now all you need to do is bang your kid's school teacher
In the Could’ve Seen This Coming From a Mile Away category, Brooks Brothers got the nod to release the official Mad Men suit, and it’s about time. Everyone from Banana Republic to Lids to Hot Dog On a Stick has been dressing their window displays with Mad Men-like suits, so it’s about time someone did […]
