    Tonight at 10

    Monday, May 9th, 2011

    One of my favorite things is when the DVR starts recording in the middle of a sentence. This goes double when it’s a news promo. This goes triple when the sentence fragment is the one I just heard in this context: “—wading into the snake-infested floodwaters.”

    brilliant.

    So Henry has taken a shine to “Imagination Movers,” and I’ve sort of stumbled after, as is frequently the case. I had initial misgivings about, mainly because of this guy‘s soul patch, but the show won me over pretty quickly, in no small part due to the equal measure of brilliance and hotness of the [...]

    score.

    So apparently during the final minutes of the Super Bowl last night, viewers in Tuscon were treated to a mysterious 30 seconds of straight-up pornography. Because I am both lazy and giving, I hereby invite you to craft as many jokes including the phrases “tight end,” “end zone,” and — as a friend of mine [...]

    Persons of all stripes: I implore you to take whatever pains possible to see as much of “The Life and Times of Tim” as is possible. It’s on HBO. It’s magnificent. Here’s a clip from an episode called “Unpaid Hooker.”

    9021-off

    Thursday, September 4th, 2008

    … And, at long last, we’re off. Effing DVR cuts off the first five minutes, natch. But we do get a second of AHndrea and Thinnyhair Velasquez’s daughter. Gawd. And they make a joke about her looking 30! Which is funny because AHndrea was 98 years old when she was on the show. Hawt. So [...]

    boom, boom; boom boom.

    Talking about how fucking awesome Jon Stewart has by this point become tantamount to bending someone’s ear about how sex is fun, or how food is necessary to sustain life. The forward-thinking reader will have already determined that this statement is a segue into a diatribe about how fucking awesome Jon Stewart is. For the [...]

    90210: The Zombie Corpse Rises

    Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

    From the Yahoo TV listing for tonight’s premiere of the reanimated 90210: “When a dedicated teacher and his family return to his childhood home of Beverly Hills so he can look after his ailing but still expansively vivacious mother, they all have to adjust: his athlete wife becomes personal trainer to the rich parents of [...]

    Hey, did you know the Olympics are on? The Olympics are on! It’s true! Totally. Also apparently “Chuck” premieres soon. I would not pretend to be unmoved by these games; I was completely blown away by the opening ceremony, even if the fireworks footsteps across Beijing were taped in advance and they totally pulled a [...]

    Buenos TARDIS!

    Brian told me today that he got an email from Blogher asking if we were ok. Yes, we’re ok. I can’t speak for Brian, but I’ve been a touch withdrawn lo, these last few months. With the help of Brian, my steadfast dude, I am inching my way out of the ass groove of, what [...]

    Mom called the Doctor, and the Doctor said, “No more homos jumpin’ on the bed!”

    Ohmigod, I don’t want to get ahead of myself or anything, but I think it may be time for Luke and Noah to finally do the deed. See, things were incredibly boring and ridiculous for a few weeks, so I didn’t want to recap them because they were so awful. Noah and Muslim girl are [...]
