&lt;p&gt;I know I've said it before, but one of the things that I've always loved about &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/Entourage/"&gt;Entourage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is how the writers behind the show seem to have this uncanny knack for re-creating exact conversations that I've had with my friends before. I know I'm not the only one out there who's had a laugh with their buddies trying to figure out how exactly did Seth Rogan get laid in &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2007/06/01/review-knocked-up/"&gt;Knocked Up&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;? When Turtle made his final point ("His ugliness is oddly fascinating."), it was like deja-vu for me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then they went and killed the moment when Vince got that nudie pic of Sloan's friend. That never happens to me or my friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In some ways, that's sort of the message of the show right there:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Movie stars! They're just like you... until a fan sends them a naked picture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vince really is living it up with the world premiere of &lt;em&gt;Gatsby&lt;/em&gt; right around the corner, and the free porn-o-gram was only the start of it. His career is back on track, he's got women vying to be his red carpet arm accessory (and speaking of his date, was she one of the girls from Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video?), and the new offers are pouring in. It's good for him, though, because as was made clear in last week's premiere, &lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/12/entourage-drive-season-premiere/"&gt;it looks like Vinny is about to have a lot of alone time in his future&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beyond that great scene that showcased the &lt;em&gt;Gats&lt;/em&gt;by premiere (again, we still haven't seen the obligatory &lt;em&gt;Entourage&lt;/em&gt; "clip" from the movie), not a ton happened here, but there are two major plot developments I wanted to discuss:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eric isn't a wuss anymore&lt;/strong&gt; -- OK, well he sort of still is, but at least he's doing what he wants... or least what he thinks will irritate Sloan enough that she'll become jealous. That's honestly the only reason I can come up with. Why else would he have gone over to Ashley's? We've established that she's rude, socially awkward, and not nearly as attractive as some of the other woman Eric has been hooking up with. In front of the guys, this makes him look like a go-getter ready for the next piece of ass, but inside? What's his plan here?&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andrew is officially the anti-Ari&lt;/strong&gt; -- Think about it. Andrew is doing everything that Ari could have been doing for years now - if he &lt;em&gt;wanted&lt;/em&gt; to. But that's not Ari. For all the sex talk and innuendo that spews from Ari's mouth, we know he's never been unfaithful to Mrs. Ari. Not even with Dana Gordon - again, remember that was all talk. However, Andrew acts on all those impulses and Ari is right - I'm waiting for the moment when Lizzie (&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/12/18/autumn-reeser-the-tv-squad-interview"&gt;Autumn Reeser&lt;/a&gt;) turns the tables on him. She ain't in this for just the sex.&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, this ep felt a lot more put together than the premiere. I loved the addition of Jami Gertz (Mrs. Ari and Marlo together was funny stuff) and Turtle (er... Sal) and Jamie-Lynn's coming out. Plus, Drama's date to the premiere (quiet-salesgirl-turned-Hollywood-village-bicycle) was great. "Hi, I'm Kelly." The look on Johnny's face was priceless! But he didn't flinch when she said she had slept with Seth Rogan. My friends and I? We disapprove. Drama, even you can do better than Seth Rogan's sloppy seconds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/entourage-amongst-friends/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19092360/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/entourage-amongst-friends/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Well, apparently Sara's going to have some very good reason to leave that romantic idyll because come this fall, &lt;a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ibdf529f18374f6c927c299508c098b12"&gt;Jorja Fox is returning to &lt;em&gt;CSI&lt;/em&gt; for five episodes&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's no indication that &lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/william+petersen/"&gt;William Petersen's&lt;/a&gt; Gil is joining her, although since Petersen is still connected to the show as an executive producer, he could decide to pop in for a show or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the ratings slipping a bit in key demographics since Petersen's exit in January 2009, the return of Jorja might be the kind of jolt the venerable crime drama needs to kick up the viewership. &lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/03/26/fishburne-is-the-14-million-dollar-man/"&gt;Laurence Fishburne&lt;/a&gt; has settled in as Dr. Raymond Langston, but the novelty of the new guy has worn off and bringing Sara back couldn't hurt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all the push and pull between Fox and &lt;em&gt;CSI&lt;/em&gt;, her contract dispute in 2004, her announcing that she was leaving in 2007, it's kind of funny to read how thrilled &lt;em&gt;CSI's&lt;/em&gt; executive producer Carol Mendelsohn is about Jorja's return. She did let on that the Sidle character will be back in Las Vegas in the premiere episode. That's Thursday, September 24. Mark it in your calender. No, seriously. I mean it. I've sort of drifted away from &lt;em&gt;CSI&lt;/em&gt; myself. I'm curious enough about Jorja Fox's return that I'll tune in that night.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/jorja-fox-back-on-duty-at-csi-for-a-little-while/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19103235/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/jorja-fox-back-on-duty-at-csi-for-a-little-while/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It really makes you see how they've gotta be extremely driven to get out of that life, because a lot of the adults are just priming them to continue the drug business into the next generation. Not only their parents -- which is really sad -- but people like Marlo, who has his minions handing out back-to-school cash to build goodwill with the kids. At that rate, those kids don't have a shot of clawing their way out of a life of crime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will take me another run-through or two to really fit all the pieces together, but I'm digging how all of the characters have evolved ... or not ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to decide if Tommy Carcetti is smart or stupid. My first instinct is that he's really stupid and green, but thanks to his handlers -- and the fact that certain influential people want Mayor Royce out -- he's back in the race after being counted out. It's funny to see Carcetti and his wife awkwardly trying to fit into the black community, a fish out of water clapping along with the choir in an all-black church. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And once again, the drug guys seem to have it a lot more together than the guys who are supposed to be in charge. I mean, really, the mayor getting a blow job from his secretary in the halls of justice? Didn't he even think to lock the door? That's just dumb. But it's working out well for Herc, who caught them in the act. Whatever happens, it's all dirty politics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, McNulty and Beadie are together now? Interesting. He seems to be behaving himself pretty well right now. We'll see how that goes. Love it when he and Bunk go out drinking together in the dark of night. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What to say about Omar and Avon and Marlo, et al ... things continue to heat up. I have to say, I'm feeling for Omar right now. He's being framed! It almost -- almost -- makes me forget how he gunned down my man Stringer in cold blood. I miss Stringer. And have we seen the last of Brother Mouzone? I don't think so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's talk about Prez. He's got his work cut out for him with kids wielding razors in the classroom and kids like Namond, who has a long journey ahead of him. I mean, good grief, his mother, De'Londa, and his incarcerated dad, Wee-Bey, have got him working as a runner for Bodie. At least he's still keeping his pony-tail, even though Wee-Bay tells him, "Even the white police lookin' out from three blocks away gonna be able to spot you from every nigga out there." That pony-tail just might do Namond in, even though it's the one thing of "his" that he refuses to give up. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I like Prez, though. He seems to really want to help the kids, like working it out so a kid can shower at school and get clean clothes. Prez belongs in a movie about a do-gooder teacher with a class full of troubled kids. Only I have a feeling this story won't have a happy ending. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There's a lot more to say, but I'll end it here. Season four is definitely my favorite so far. In some ways, I feel like I'm really just starting to get into the series. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I look forward to your thoughts.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/jane-after-dark-the-wire-season-4-the-kids-are-not-alright/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102970/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/jane-after-dark-the-wire-season-4-the-kids-are-not-alright/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In short: Holy frak! The &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Edward-James-Olmos/dp/B001HZXYDC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=dvd&amp;amp;qid=1247963006&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;final set of &lt;em&gt;Battlestar Galactica&lt;/em&gt; episodes&lt;/a&gt; is awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minor spoilers follow...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are those who liked the ending and those that didn't. I didn't like the lack of explanation of Kara's return from the dead and found the finale generally anti-climactic. But the series set a high standard and, overall, it's a minor complaint. In most ways, the series is perfect and far better than most of us deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll give them this: the people who make the show know their audience ... that audience being nerds. Nerds like information. Hence, the DVD set is full of extras and special features. These include deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and extended versions of episodes, including the three-part finale, "Daybreak." And every episode (let me repeat that:: &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;every&lt;/span&gt; episode) has podcast commentary by Ronald Moore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the benefit of those who buy only Season 4.5 but not the others (for Gods' sake, why?), there is the rapid-paced featurette -- "What the Frak is Going on with &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Battlestar Galactica&lt;/span&gt;?" -- which details the  first three and a half seasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other extras include vlogs by David Eick, and there's even an extra by Bear McCreary about composing music for an episode. Edward James Olmos (a.k.a. Admiral Adama) provides commentary for the episode he directed. Honestly, I'm not sure if a person can get through all the extras in his or her lifetime. Okay, maybe they can, but it would take years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; All of the final nine episodes (the last of which is divided into three parts) are available on the DVDs, naturally. The video quality of the discs is average, but  the sheer number of extras makes up for it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Battlestar Galactica&lt;/span&gt; fan, there is no excuse for not picking this up. In fact, the only excuse you'd have is because you plan to own the beautifully-boxed &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Edward-James-Olmos/dp/B001993Y2C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=dvd&amp;amp;qid=1247963006&amp;amp;sr=8-2"&gt;complete series on Blu ray&lt;/a&gt;. So say we all.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/battlestar-galactica-season-4-5-dvd-review/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102911/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/battlestar-galactica-season-4-5-dvd-review/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Duck Soup&lt;/em&gt; is my favorite Marx Brothers Film. Cinematical shares their favorite scene from the movie: where &lt;a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2009/07/18/scenes-we-love-groucho-insulting-everyone-in-duck-soup/"&gt;Groucho Marx, as Rufus T. Firefly insults everyone&lt;/a&gt;. Check it out; it's classic.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Did you know that back in 1983, Disney attempted to do their own version of &lt;em&gt;Where The Wild Things Are&lt;/em&gt;? It's classic Disney animation and Cinematical has a &lt;a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2009/07/18/rare-glimpse-of-disneys-failed-wild-things-adaptation/"&gt;clip of it here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The most explosive summer movie ever: &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2009/07/17/the-mother-of-all-scifi-movies-terminempiretrekaliensformers/"&gt;TerminEmpireTrekAliensFormers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Summer will never be the same again.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;I'm going to see &lt;em&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/em&gt; tonight, so in honor of its release, we have &lt;a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2009/07/16/cinematical-seven-elisabeths-favorite-harry-potter-moments/"&gt;Cinematical Seven: Elisabeth's favorite Harry Potter moments&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;I really should re-read the &lt;em&gt;HP&lt;/em&gt; books before I go and see the movies, but I don't, so this article on how &lt;a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2009/07/16/half-blood-prince-changes-the-book-for-the-better/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Half-Blood Prince&lt;/em&gt; changes the book for the better&lt;/a&gt; was quite helpful for me.&lt;/li&gt;

NBC's &lt;em&gt;The Wanted&lt;/em&gt; is going after suspected terrorists and war criminals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show has already drawn its &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/02/AR2009070203586.html"&gt;share of controversy&lt;/a&gt; as governmental officials say it could interfere in ongoing criminal and espionage investigations. Media critics are all over it, too -- calling it stunt journalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, NBC is no stranger to such claims. Its investigations into alleged pedophiles on &lt;em&gt;Dateline&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10912603/" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;To Catch a Predator&lt;/a&gt;) went from gritty reporting to police support to sensational pop culture phenomenon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Predator&lt;/em&gt; packed it in after one of its alleged suspects blew his brains out -- drawing a lawsuit. NBC had best have a squadron of lawyers at the ready for this new show if they're going to accuse individuals of being Muslim extremists or escaped Nazi guards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The counter to the "stunt journalism" argument points to the actual good that &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Predator&lt;/span&gt; (and maybe &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Wanted&lt;/span&gt;) does through their broadcasts. In addition to putting child abusers behind bars, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dateline&lt;/span&gt; called attention to the problem of dangerous online sleaze bags (a legal term). If &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Wanted&lt;/span&gt; somehow foils a terrorist attack or puts a would-be killer on notice, would that justify its existence?&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/reality-tv-gets-serious-with-nbcs-the-wanted/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102883/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/19/reality-tv-gets-serious-with-nbcs-the-wanted/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A collection of TV actors, athletes and government officials take the Aerio's rickety wheel in its final laps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to reviewing and test-driving the world's most expensive, luxurious and therefore inaccessible super cars, each &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Top Gear&lt;/span&gt; episode features a stunt or contest testing the boundaries of automobiles and human playfulness. This season is highlighted by a cross country race between an airplane and the Bugatti Veyron -- the fastest and most expensive production car ever made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At its top speed of about 257 mph, the Veyron will run out of fuel in about 10 minutes. But that's fine because the tires will give out from friction and heat before fuel is a problem. If that last sentence interested you in the least, you'll dig &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Top Gear&lt;/span&gt;. If it doesn't, go feed the gerbil pedaling your hybrid and leave the living alone.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/18/new-season-of-top-gear-parking-at-bbc-america/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102692/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/18/new-season-of-top-gear-parking-at-bbc-america/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It sounds very much like the usual show found on the CW, doesn't it? Anyway, it is executive produced by Ashton Kutcher and stars Mischa Barton (formerly of &lt;em&gt;The O.C.&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Mischa Barton has been having &lt;a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1616446/20090717/index.jhtml"&gt;some personal problems &lt;/a&gt;recently, the network claims that the reason behind the nine day delay of the start of production is that some of the sets were not completed on time. This is what they say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have nothing against Mischa Barton and I hope she solves whatever problems she is having and goes on to a long and prosperous career. However, I'd have to be pretty naive to think that Barton's emotional issues were not a factor in any delay of the start of her new show.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/18/cw-not-quite-ready-for-the-beautiful-life/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102753/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/18/cw-not-quite-ready-for-the-beautiful-life/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

But, there's a "ghost story around the campfire" charm about shows like this that an intrigued audience could enjoy a chill or two. People need a good scare now and then, even if it comes from a non-existent Thunderbird or Hell Hound.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/18/mysterious-creatures-haunt-animal-planets-lost-tapes-dvd/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19101154/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/18/mysterious-creatures-haunt-animal-planets-lost-tapes-dvd/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

And here we are on the 40th anniversary of that very mission. Reminds me of when Charles Schulz died, hours before the very last Peanuts cartoon ran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cronkite was a journalist during World War II (he was on a lot of bombing runs and was at Normandy) and became the anchor of &lt;em&gt;The CBS Evening News&lt;/em&gt; in 1962. He retired from that position in 1982 and went on to write columns, magazine articles, give speeches, and host various documentaries. &lt;a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/walter-cronkite-iconic-anchorman-dies/"&gt;Cronkite died&lt;/a&gt; today at the age of 92 of cerebrovascular disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if they'll keep him as the narrator on the present &lt;em&gt;CBS Evening News&lt;/em&gt; with Katie Couric.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/17/walter-cronkite-dead-at-92/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102608/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/17/walter-cronkite-dead-at-92/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A commercial on CNN last night said that they have more viewers at night than MSNBC and Fox News. MSNBC says that they beat CNN last quarter, and on last night's &lt;em&gt;O'Reilly Factor&lt;/em&gt;, Bill showed a graph that showed that Fox News had 10 of the top 10 highest-rated shows on cable news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who's right? The answer is "yes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn/cable_news_ad_wars_msnbc_targets_cnn_121826.asp"&gt;TV Newser has official comments&lt;/a&gt; from spokespeople at the three different cable news channels and they all state their case, using various numbers and stats. All I know is that no one is beating CNN in nightly Michael Jackson coverage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since everyone is just throwing statements and statistics around, I'd just like to point out that TV Squad is the number one blog when it comes to male shut-ins aged 24-49 who love Hot Pockets and whose favorite show is &lt;em&gt;Robot Chicken&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/17/is-cnn-number-one-or-what/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102181/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/17/is-cnn-number-one-or-what/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She mentioned it on one of the gossip shows last night (can't remember which one and I'm ashamed I even tuned in), but she revealed that she was an extra in the commercial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought of that when I saw this clip this morning from her Bravo show, where she went on Reverend Al Sharpton's radio show to talk about her performance at the Apollo Theater later that night.&lt;br /&gt;

In fact, this piece is so unlikely that I hesitate to write it. But, I'm going to anyway. &lt;a href="http://scifiwire.com/2009/07/will-hobbits-bilbo-be-nam.php"&gt;Sci Fi Wire hinted&lt;/a&gt; that &lt;em&gt;Doctor Who&lt;/em&gt;'s David Tennant might be up for the role of Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming two-movie version of &lt;em&gt;The Hobbit&lt;/em&gt;, which will be produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Guillermo del Toro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The logic behind this is that David Tennant will be at Comic Con and the production team of &lt;em&gt;The Hobbit&lt;/em&gt; will be at Comic Con. I'll leave it to you to find the gap in that logic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I love David Tennant as the Doctor, but he's completely inappropriate for Bilbo Baggins. He's too tall. He's too skinny. I'd even say he's too good-looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn't say I'm completely against the concept, but if you're going to cast an actor who played the Doctor as Bilbo Baggins, I recommend Sylvester McCoy.&lt;p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/17/david-tennant-as-bilbo-baggins/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19102214/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/17/david-tennant-as-bilbo-baggins/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
