In an era where the people running newspapers have had one colossally stupid idea after another, this just might be the stupidest, by which I mean that it’s so totally and utterly stupid as to almost transcend the concept of stupid. As a matter of fact, when contacted for a comment, stupid just shook his head and said "these bean counters running newspapers really don’t know anything about anything." - New Hold Steady streaming free online

This right here, is a reason to watch Swingtown. Another reason? The pilot was actually pretty good. Unlike the sex-obsessed Parents Television Council, we can tell that this show has potential to be about way more than promiscuity. - Comedy Central to offer Stewart, Colbert on Hulu
So, last night’s "Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" are now on Hulu. Good!! But that still doesn’t make up for the unconscionable 8-day wait for last Friday’s "Battlestar Galactica." Because, holy frack! was that an amazing ep!! - Sports broadcasters speak at Jim McKay memorial
It happened over the weekend, so didn’t get a chance to talk about how cool and weird "Wide World of Sports" was during the pre-ESPN days. Sure, "the agony of defeat" will be what people remember, but that will gloss over the fact that "Wide World of Sports" turned us on to a whole — well, world — of interesting stuff beyond the four professional team sports and the two major individual sports. And it was always anchored by the seemingly unflappable McKay, who defined "professional broadcaster" as well as anyone ever did or will. - YouTube: You Created the Content, Now Sell the Ads
