If you followed the news, Greg Giraldo overdosed last weekend, and has been in a New Jersey hospital since then. Earlier today, a tweet from Jim Norton informed us that Greg has died. Not a joke, not another black humour stab, this one was sadly for real. It immediately got confirmed, and the condolences have [...]
Todd Solondz’ latest film is considered by many to be a sequel to 1998′s Happiness. But personally, it is a little too different, much shorter, and somehow even has a lighter tone than Happiness. Or have we all gotten so used to bleak/black humour, and pathos in film, that this latest entry just doesn’t move [...]
Stores are closed, the winter storm rendered roads undrivable, and the food is probably keeping you paralyzed and comfortably numb. Time to indulge in a marathon or two. Here’s what’s playing today – pick a channel, any channel.
I’ve been waiting for ‘Rescue Me’ (FX) return for so long, I probably watched the earlier shows three times in a row. Also, Parks and Recreation (NBC) looks hilarious – Amy Poehler is fantastic.

Late night television is getting some tough competition as the midnight hour is being taken over by the little show (actually, two little shows) from Comedy [...]
At this point it makes no sense to review or promote this show (I wanted to do it for a long time, but since it’s not on regular networks, and it’s pretty crude, I avoided it). The show is canceled. Colin Quinn and his guys are saying so long. But oh how I wish they [...]
Last Comic Standing was canceled. Yes, the network was getting panicky about ratings, and canned this show one episode before completion. Makes sense, right – first they overexpose a good, funny show, and then, when people begin to tune out, they just can it. Instead, you’re forced to watch the Katzenberg marathon, and his “Lions [...]
Canadian late-night TV lineup has just gotten better. No more trying to pick between the low-brow comedy dressed up in flash, here comes Daily Show with Jon Stewart, consistently funny, and always on a low budget.
