Congrats to Roger Ebert on winning a Webby award

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, [...]

May TV premiere dates

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 [...]

Carla Gugino on Californication

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 O’Brien begins his comedy tour

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.

Jennifer Morrison back on House this Monday (FOX)

Jennifer Morrison (who played Dr. Cameron on House) is coming back next week. This is the big episode that Hugh Laurie was supposed to direct, and her guest-spot isn’t the only thing that I’m looking forward to. Apparently, the episode deals with a lockdown in the hospital (probably a virus attack, or a power outage), [...]

ABC finales are here

Only 3.5 episodes left. Or something along these lines. Lost is coming to an end, but don’t panic just yet. ABC happens to have quite a few amazing shows running, so you better start programming those VCRs, to get all your finales recorded. What are VCRs anyway? Here’s the list of the 2010 ABC finales.

At the Movies is canceled

Disney/ABC is pulling the plug on the popular ‘movie-critics-going-at-each-other’ show in August. It lasted 24 years. As far as I know, At the Movies died when Roger Ebert lost his voice in 2006. Yes, Gene Siskel’s death in 1999 was a big blow to the show, but the two of them have been doing it [...]

Judy Greer will guest on Big Bang

Stunt-casting is always a game of chance – some guests misfire, no matter how well intended. This one might just be perfect. Judy Greer, a regular guest on Arrested Development, Love Monkey, Miss Guided, and more recently on Modern Family, House MD will be guest-starring in The Big Bang Theory. Apparently a one-night stand (or [...]

Scrubs is canceled

Zach Braff has posted this yesterday on his Facebook page, and the fans haven’t stopped commenting/lamenting on the show’s cancellation. It’s a shame the rebooted show didn’t stick around, but let’s not kid ourselves, it’s just not the same without the original gang in there. The show, as clever and as funny it was, didn’t [...]

Super Bowl Ads

Well, you’ve asked for it… Actually, nobody asked, but since every other website is running the ads from past games (and the networks really do need that money), here it goes. An easy to use widget from Hulu (yes, the website that’s going to kill television in a few months), where you can easily watch [...]
