Here’s an incomplete list of Sunday night winners of the 62nd Emmy Awards. A lot of new shows got the prize, a lot of regulars/favorites are walking away empty-handed. The time is right for new kids to get the spotlight – Glee, Mad Men (ok, they have been noticed before), Breaking Bad, The Pacific, The [...]

I recently re-discovered IT Crowd, suddenly the show is making more sense than before. I’m also really enjoying Criss Angel’s Mindfreak, but probably for the wrong reasons. Still, the next few weeks will get you Shatner, Man vs. Wild, Ghost Hunters, Weeds, and Pitchman. All worthy shows, especially Weeds – I wonder how the season [...]

While World Cup soccer is winding down, summer television is coming at ya, with more favourites back on the small screen. Psych, Mad Men, Closer, Jersey Shore, Eureka, Warehouse 13, and so many more. Here’s what’s coming, and when. Enjoy your great summer indoors, and get a healthy tan from that old tv set!

Here we go, summer is here. Long weekend, and off we go with lighter fare, summer shows, some returning faves, some new things to try. Royal Pains with Mark Feuerstein and Paulo Costanzo, Louie with Louie C.K., Hung with Thomas Jane, Burn Notice with Bruce Campbell, Entourage with Jeremy Piven and much more. Penn and [...]

“For a brief moment there, there really seemed to be an independent film movement. Then it was over.” That’s how Dennis Hopper has described the unexpected and massive popularity of his 1969 movie Easy Rider. The little fill really did come out of nowhere and established Hopper, Peter Fonda, and a very young Jack Nicholson [...]

British Yahoo website is reporting that Lost finale next week will be simulcast in multiple countries “to curb illegal downloading”. See full article here. Other countries are also listed in the simulcast – Canada, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Israel and Turkey. Side note to all geography fans, Canada is a little tiny country just north of [...]

Congratulations to Roger Ebert being chosen as person of the year by the Webby Awards. The Webbies, which celebrate Internet achievement, have singled Ebert and his blog for “raising the bar for online journalism” (read more here). This is fantastic news, and we’re so proud that the winner isn’t one of those typical web-savvy, 20-something, [...]

You’d think that May has become a wasteland month of new television. Better to watch your favourite shows wrap up for the season, than start on anything new. Think again. This month quite a few new shows are coming to TV, and some of your old faves are back too. It’s a smaller than usual [...]

Yay! Carla Gugino is back on regular TV (Californication). Her stint a few years back as Karen Sisco didn’t last long (only 9 episodes, not all aired), and the guest spots in Entourage a couple of seasons ago were fantastic, but also short (10 episodes). It’s good to see her back, and this show can [...]

Conan’s “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” comedy tour began last night in Eugene, Oregon. I still can’t believe this show sold out so quickly. Thirty (30!) stops, two months, and even a few visits to Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto), and I still was too late online to get a single ticket.
