Your First Glimpse Into The ‘Big Brother’ House! - B-Side Blog.

Dunno why but this is one of the few reality shows I get sucked in to every year… With the show just a few days away from airing, the actual process has already begun. Here’s a page with about 20 minutes of video and clips from what we’ll see this week (including the returning houseguest and first HOH…)

Sketch Comedy Saturday: The Kids In The Hall - TV Squad.

Great write-up on one of the best Sketch Comedy shows ever!

Weeds: Wonderful Wonderful season premiere - TV Squad.

Weeds is back! Kicking it off right where it left off… Plenty of humor and drama in this episode. The whole plotline surrounding Celia’s kidnapping was downright hysterical and supporting players like Kevin Nealon didn’t dissapoint.

There’s plenty of tension with Nancy’s new situation that it looks like this will be a pretty intense season. I like that they’ve ditched the opening credits song (at least for this episode) and instead just dove right in after a brief review…

Liked how they worked Facebook into the plot (it seems like last time this show was on Facebook wasn’t half as big as it is now…). Looking forward to Jennifer Jason Leigh as a cast member next week as well…

Ethan Suplee from 'My Name Is Earl'

Best place to be in an earthquake… on Twitpic.

Been checking into ‘Twitter’ as of late and find myself checking on more celebrity ‘tweets’ more than anything else… Was interesting to watch over the past day the reactions to the latest earthquake in Los Angeles…

Alyson Denisof from “How I Met Your Mother - “Baby is asleep after her first earthquake. She was fine but looked at us like we were crazy as we ran out of the house with her in our arms.”

Brian Poshen from ‘Sarah Silverman Show’ - “thebrianposehn Earthquake while I was on stage, didn’t feel shit… Because I was rocking Irvine so hard.  My dong jokes might’ve started the quake.”

The best was Ethan Suplee from ‘My Name Is Earl” and his post of the pic above - “Best Place To be In An Earthquake”…

Rescue Me: Baptism season premiere -

Like I said in the title…. Awesome.

Rescue Me, season five — An early look - TV Squad.

Life on Mars: Life is a Rock series finale

I don’t quite yet know how I feel about how they wrapped up this series. I guess its good they knew they were cancelled so we weren’t left hanging like with so many other ‘cancelled too soon’ shows over the past few years… But was this the best route to go? (Spoilery stuff ahead…)

Thinking about it a little more, I suppose it most definitely wouldn’t have worked to just have Sam wake up in 2008/09 and have it all be a dream. It was already cured a bit I think by being set up to have a very ‘Wizard of Oz’ feel (…and you were there, and you…). But jumping everything to 2035?

Like the linked TV Squad article, I agree it was almost ‘too literal’. They are astronauts off to find ‘Life On Mars’… But as that became the last 5 minutes of the series, I felt like they forced all kinds of weirdness into the references to force a wrap up. Going on a Gene hunt (searching for genetic DNA) as the mission matching up with Keitel’s character name (Gene Hunt), the forced references to 80’s women by Imperioli’s character, and the whole Wendy as a computer voice thing… It just felt way too forced….

Plus, don’t you think it would take more than 5 seconds for people to awake from a simulated reality (especially Sam’s) before they could be fully coherent, as they all jumped right into their ’space duties’ (yea, I said it…). The Sam and Annie thing 5 minutes earlier was set up beautifully, then suddenly we feel like they have no real connection at all…

I guess overall it was a daunting task to wrap the direction the show had taken, and I guess theres some kudos to give to the writers for at least trying. But overall it left me feeling kinda disappointed…
