NHL Winter Classic
Ever since I first heard about HBO venturing into the world of the NHL a few months back, I became heavily intrigued by the idea of getting more into hockey. I am a casual fan who really only watches (sporadically) in the playoffs, when the games are awesome. Following the Capitals and Penguins the past 3 weeks has been amazing.
Obviously, as I wrote about,...

Trailers...
Been quite a boring week due to the in-climate weather that has taken over the NorthEast by storm (pun somewhat intended). So in order not to go completely stir crazy, take a few minutes to watch these brand new movie trailers and have something to look forward to doing soon that doesn’t include carbon monoxide.

The Walking Dead
AMC has once again hammered home the fact that they are currently the touchstone network (cable or not) for the best original dramas on television. Within the past 4-5 years, the channel has seemingly came out of nowhere and has since taken the viewing public by storm. Of course, in their stable they have the #1 and #2 best dramas on TV (you choose which is higher in your own mind) in...

The Lonely Island
It’s been just over 3 years since the guys from The Lonely Island made their way out of their lair and into the hearts of millions. It all began with a little tune called “Lazy Sunday” and has snowballed into a cult phenomenon. They have put out an album since then which was Grammy nominated. Not to mention the amazing cast of celebrities and musicians they have gotten to...

LOST Encyclopedia
After six seasons of being enveloped in the mythology, mystery, emotion, and intrigue of arguably the best drama in network television history, the creators saw fit for us to continue our journey in book form. Just released last week, I am super excited to start it. Every fact, tidbit, myth, character, artifact is listed here. The most comprehensive guide ever about the...

2011 TV Preview Guide
Coming up on the end of the year always brings about one of my favorite things: Top 10 Lists. They come in so many shapes in forms, but the ones that captivate more so than others are the lists that pertain to the Year in Television. There is such a large array of critics on the web that each of them can have vastly different shows within their rankings, but it also allows you to see the wide...

The War For Late Night
Surreal. Unfathomable. Anger. Shock. Betrayl. Naiveté. Business. All these words have a say in the story depicted by fantastic author Bill Carter in his newest effort, “The War For Late Night”.
In this book, Carter gives a super detailed account of just what exactly went down last year over at NBC and how it became a national media frenzy. By being able to...

2010 Holiday Gift Guide
Mid-December in NYC means several things: the cold weather will only get worse over the next 8 weeks while tons of idiotic tourists will flood the city, television will be on semi-hiatus for the upcoming few weeks, you will begin hating yourself for the shape you are in after last January’s resolution, Wendy Williams should be expecting her winter wigs to arrive any day, and of...

30 For 30
“What if I told you” that when I first heard of ESPN’s 30 For 30 series, a new endeavor into documentaries and how it coincided with their 30 year anniversary, I must say that I was totally pumped. For several reasons.
Firstly, I had never been the documentary type, rather choosing to spend my time watching scripted pieces. But knowing that ‘The Sports Guy’ Bill...

Scrambled Brains
What happened to the days when I would scan the television and settle on some shitty rerun of “Mama’s Family”, “Homeboys In Outer Space” or “Charles In Charge” to realize just how desperate and pathetic my life had become? Those types of programs had no true value. At all. Back in the mid 90’s, TV was chock full of horrendous programs that were good...

In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks
Obviously, the mere fact that I am typing up this Book Review seems odd. The author is barely more literate than the pack of Mexicans I picked up outside of Home Depot. Nevertheless, the man who was constantly degraded by his school teachers is laughing last. (But it does sound somewhat maniacal, doesn’t it? Relax pops, you wrote a book. You and Azriel didn’t...

Terriers
Today was a sad day. FX cancelled the best new show of the 2010 fall television season. And they knew it. But it was a perfect storm of bad things for the show: bad marketing from the get go, even worse viewership, and not nearly enough word of mouth (even though it has never gotten anything but utter praise). So, in turn, we were given the best ‘single season’ show since the...

Bonus Footage!
This week has been somewhat depressing as 3 of my favorite TV Dramas have come to or will be ending by Sunday night. What’s even worse is that now I don’t even have anything else to watch. Besides Thursday nights on NBC/FX, my entire primetime lineups belongs has been given over to NBA League Pass, kind of by default. (But I am not complaining. GO MAVS!)
Tuesday night was the 3rd...
