Emmys baby, right here: 30 Rock and Mad Men lead

Update Friday, July 17: Here's the complete list of nominees. Hey chickens. At around 8:40 a.m. ET today (July 16), the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences unveiled this year's nominees for the 61st annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which will be handed out Sept. 20 this year, broadcast live on CBS and CTV. Still waiting...

TV on DVD coming soon: Dexter, Dollhouse, Dirty Sexy Money, and that’s just the Ds

Lazy days of summer. And a lazy week for distributors of TV on DVD, who have coughed up only a measly few light-weight releases (Reba: Season 6, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern: Collection 3). So I took that as a sign to look at what's ahead. I'll post a link to this post at the...

TV on DVD: Lost but not alone with Locke, Christian, Walt and the shoes

"I'm convinced the shoes have something to do with it." Now, if you walked by my desk about 10 days ago and heard me make this statement to a colleague, would you know what "it" I was talking about? And THAT, my friend, is the difference between you and sad nerds like me who, nearly...

Lost Untangled is Lost unraveling

I'm not saying I know what the freak is going on in Lost, although I do love the story structure of the time-space travelling. It not only economically covers a lot of ground but has incredible suspense. Will it be the next time that we meet ... Jacob? What will be the ramifications of Jin...

Lost: new theory under construction

You've been here before. No, that is not my commiseration that you and I are once again, contrary to all good sense, spending every Wednesday night pursuing something between an aneurysm and a Slurpee brain freeze. That is to say, watching Lost. It IS true. Lost fans have been here before, fretting that the series...

TV on DVD: more Lost

It's another weak week in new releases of TV on DVD, but know this, thanks to the good people over at tvshowsondvd.com: no matter how baffled you were by the two-hour (whaaaaaatf?) Season 5 opener of Lost, you KNOW you want the DVD. If only in the hopes that you can tie a string to...

DVR alert: Cranky start to Lost season

Okay, even if CTV had begged me, BEGGED ME, to preview tonight's (Jan. 21) two-hour Season 5 debut of Lost, I would not have crumbled. Okay they didn't beg me. But still, I have no desire to know what's coming tonight. I have steadfastly averted my eyes. I have a bucket of sour cream dip...

Lie to Me: series debut

If this is Wednesday, and Lost has returned, what kinda balls does it take for another network to launch a new series directly opposite? And what chance does that new show hold against the greatest show of all time? Except even I, an islander to the end, realize that not everyone watches the J.J. Abrams...

When, where: midseason 2009

Hey there my lovely chickens! If this is January, there must be lots of new TV to watch and this first week of the midseason does not disappoint. Of course, I'm already behind but here is my (selective, of course) list of what new shows are debuting and when, along with websites where available. I've...
