You guys know I’m in love with Hulu and Veoh and that some classic TV shows that haven’t seen the light of day in years, can be found there.  Well, one of my favorite TV critics, Robert Bianco of USA Today has an article worth reading, “A Web Dozen For Your Viewing Leisure.” In it [...]

The Not So “Secret Diary Of A Call Girl”

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I’ve seen the first two episodes of Showtime’s “Secret Diary Of A Call Girl,” starring Billie Piper and for something that was touted as a sexy romp in the call girl trade, it doesn’t deliver.   Piper plays “Belle” an expensive escort who loves sex, money and the power of having her customers at her [...]

After three of fall’s high profile TV pilots were leaked this week, there’s now some speculation in the blogosphere that these “leaks” were deliberate publicity stunts by Fox, ABC and HBO to stir up some pre-fall buzz.
The shows in question are J.J. Abrams’ “Fringe,”  David E. Kelley’s “Life On Mars,” and Alan Ball’s “True Blood.”

Sikhs Trash MTV Office In India

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I’m going to have to be very careful how I write this post, because if you know anything about the current battle going on between bloggers and the Associated Press, I could get into big trouble with the big AP if I don’t word this post just right.
That’s because this post is based on an [...]
