TCA News That’s Worthy: A Bonnie and Clyde Miniseries, a 24 Movie, J.J. Abrams talks Star Trek 2

I remember going to the Television Critics Association (a.k.a. TCA) Press Tour a long time ago. I think it was in 2007. All I remember was that Lost was still all the rage and America Ferrera won the Golden Globe for her role in Ugly Betty. I also remember it was the time when I...

Gordie Lachance Does NOT Like the Kardashians

OH SNAP! Wil Wheaton (a.k.a. Gordie Lachance) inflicted a toxic burn aimed at that group of species known as The Kardashians on Chris Hardiwick‘s show The Nerdist.

Workout Song of the Week: ‘United States of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom)’ by DJ Earworm

Last week, I mentioned this cut-and-paste track by DJ Earworm, but it definitely deserves a second mention because it has found a new home on my iPod.

Best of 2011: Occupying ‘Community’

It was a good year for the best show on television…and that show is Community. Actually, from a “ratings” perspective, it wasn’t THAT great of year for the poignant show about a rag tag group of community college misfits that reference pop culture with a snappy skewer and have totally AWESOME paintball wars.

Best of 2011: A second season of glorious zombies in ‘The Walking Dead’

Adapted from the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead is kind of like Lost but instead of a mysterious island, there are zombies. Lots of zombies.
