Modern Family: The Bicycle Thief {TV Squad}
Oct 1st 2009 2:27PM I am already hooked on this show after two episodes. Definitely best new sitcom of the year. As for Hank, I lasted 4 minutes before changing the channel.
What the heck is this? {TV Squad}
Jun 25th 2009 3:27PM The Jupiter 2 cockpit from Lost in Space?
American Idol: Hollywood Round #4 {TV Squad}
Feb 12th 2009 11:03AM Mike, come on, everything is done in editing. I guarantee the last two guys were not really the last two. They just showed them last. As they said during the show, "nobody knows who will be called next"...but the two drama queens Nathaniel and Tatiana just happened to be called in the last 15-20 minutes of the show? No, they edited it so they were near the end so that people don't shut it off.
Face it, this cut down episode is boring. A lot of people don't bother to watch it, and a lot who did watched hoping those two got the boot. If they showed them earlier, there would have been a lot of channel changing going on.
American Idol: Hollywood Round #3 {TV Squad}
Feb 11th 2009 2:16PM Thank God Paula, Randy and Kara are not actors, because they are pretty much on par with say, Pam Anderson's acting skills. As soon as they opened the doors to the rooms, I shouted out if the room was staying or going and I was 4 for 4. Open door looking sad, staying...opening door with a smile...going. You've been doing the same thing every year...stop with the dramatics.
Tatiana and Nathaniel (he's the overly gay one with tats, right?) have to be getting the boot tonight. Producers probably figured they would provide more drama getting booted individually then in a group like last night. As for Nathaniel...when does is People Magazine issue come out letting us know that he's...umm...coming out? I know I was shocked when Clay...never mind!
PlayOn media server is out of beta, 14 days to decide if Netflix & Hulu on your PS3 is worth it {Engadget HD}
Feb 4th 2009 10:56AM After reading this post yesterday, I installed PlayOn on my 2.7ghz, Pentium 4, Windows XP desktop. I have FIOS 15/5 internet, so pretty fast speeds. It played perfectly on my PS3. I watched an episode of Weeds from Netflix and it took about 8 seconds to buffer before playing. Picture quality was surprisingly good. Then watched Family Guy on Hulu, and that also loaded very quickly.
Will definitely pay for this for Netflix viewing only. Having Hulu and CBS to catch shows that I miss is a plus also!
Rachel Maddow for Meet the Press? {TV Squad}
Dec 2nd 2008 1:56PM I think Rachel would be a good choice. For the poster that suggested that they might as well give it to Billo because he is as right as she is left, you forgetting a key point. O'Reilly is basically an entertainer/reporter. He has no political background having worked at Inside Edition and at television stations.
Meanwhile Rachel has a Doctorate in Political Science and was a Rhodes Scholar. Yes, she leans (ok, tilts) very left, but whose to say she could not be bipartisan on the MTP? Intelligence wise, Rachel would definitely be the top choice.
Out of all the talking heads, how many have even an undergrad degree in Poly Sci? Most probably have just journalism degrees. For example, Billo was a history major and then got a masters in broadcast journalism.
BELD Broadband adds NBC Universal properties, NFL Network HD {Engadget HD}
Aug 24th 2008 10:01PM Good to see BELD finally move towards the 21st century. I was a former customer but jumped ship to FIOS in February as soon it was available in Braintree, One of my reasons for the switch was BELD's tortoise like pace in adding HD channels that were worth anything. As of my switch, they still did not have ESPN2 HD, something everyone had over a year early and they had not added any HD channels in over a year. Just after I left, they added another worthless one, WGN HD! Whoopie.
BELD definitely lost customers due to FIOS coming to town...looks like 8 months after that fact, they are finally starting to fight back. However, their picture quality, especially on the non-HD channels cannot compare with FIOS. Their support is great though....being in the town, you can sometimes get service the same day as when you call.
NFL Network to become ESPN 8, THE "OCHO"? {Engadget HD}
Jun 26th 2008 11:47AM So much from the rumors that I read elsewhere about ESPN Classic becoming ESPN 3 and going for the English Premier League contract to become the place to go for soccer on the ESPN networks.
Bones: The Pain in the Heart (season finale) - VIDEO {TV Squad}
May 20th 2008 10:27AM What drove me crazy about this episode was that Booth was shot supposedly two weeks earlier (according to what one of that characters said), yet here he is up and about and tackling a bad guy at his own funeral two weeks later!
Wouldn't someone that was shot in the chest (right side per bathroom scene of bandage even though last episode made it look like it was near the heart) need more than two weeks to recover? Yet he's back to work, drinking beer and smoking cigars. To me that was really the most outrageous part of this episode to me.
The Upfronts: ABC {TV Squad}
May 13th 2008 11:40AM So let me get this straight. ABC's new scripted programming for '08-'09 are a show that's jumping networks (Scrubs), a rehash from the BBC (Life on Mars) and a cartoon (The Goode Family)? Wow, those great minds at ABC must have spent seconds on developing programming.
Ooh! An Ashton Kutcher/Tyra Banks reality show! What's the Vegas line on it being canceled before it even airs.
Glad to see Dirty Sexy Money was re-upped. Bummed about October Road getting the ax, but hey, got to make room for more game shows and reality shows.
