Area Man Spends Weekend Programming DVR Comedy Central has ordered a pilot from The Onion. It's about sports, which some of us (could be anyone, really) don't care about, but, you know, The Onion. Sometimes you have to take a little bit of the boo with the yay!
The Bigger Biggest Loser ABC is developing a variation on The Biggest Loser called Obese for people pursuing extreme weight-loss. Perfect. We're gonna need a bigger pair of Terrible Idea Jeans! Get it? Bigger? Because of fat.
Ellen Page Is The David Simon Of Painfully Cool Hipsters Ellen Page, Alia Shawkat, and Har Mar Superstar are writing a show for HBO about "painfully cool hipsters" who move from Williamsburg to Silverlake, tentatively titled Stich N' Bitch. Sure. We're gonna need a skinnier jeans!
Clearly, this is your sitcom. "It just speaks to me." That's what you tell your lady friends over lunch at an outdoor cafe with a bottle of the second cheapest white wine on the menu. Oh, btw, you are a woman, and that is why this show speaks to you, because it is just telling it like it is. FWBW, says your sweatshirt.

That your life has depth and meaning.
Friday Night Lights is already one of the best shows on television, but apparently in season 4 it will be one of the MOST TERRIFYING show on television as well, when most of Dillon, Texas, plunges into a paranormal chasm in the ground. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't fall into the giant paranormal chasm in the ground. Obviously, I recognize that this is a metaphor for how Coach Taylor's move to the East Dillon Wildcats (or whatever) is going to create an irreparable divide through the town and its many carefully drawn human relationships. But maybe, just maybe, this metaphor will be created visually, with an actual giant rift cut down the middle of the town. Probably not. Maybe. Almost certainly not. But maybe!
The Terminator trudged along the wooded path towards the lake, his gun dangling by his side, the taunts still ringing in his hypersensitive bionic ears. He stared at the ground as he walked, and didn't even bother scanning anything with...

Do you ever eat foods that you know you don't like, just to remind yourself why you don't like them? I think that's a good thing to do sometimes! The worst case scenario is that you might momentarily have a...
Last weekend, something strange happened. Some of the Videogum Monsters created their own secret, password-protected chat room. In 2009! Incredible! I suppose every monster has his cave, or whatever. As it turned out, though, we already had a Videogum Chat...
Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery,patience, and taste.
The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...
I went to see Where the Wild Things Are on Saturday, but it was sold out. Ay-ay-ay. That was a surprise! I mean, anticipation for this movie seemed pretty high, but anticipation for lots of movies seems high, especially when...
