Conan O’Brien Turns to the Web with 24-Hour Live “Coco Cam” Webcast Event
Ever since his not-so-amicable split with NBC in January, Conan O’Brien took to the internet, not only to passive-aggressively rage against the machine, but to tout his next venture, Conan on TBS, which debuts on November 8, 2010. His newest venture is slightly more ambitious than a series of tweets. Starting at 1 pm ET, Conan takes to the web ...

Banksy, perhaps the most influential and acclaimed street artist of all-time, has officially made it to the mainstream. Solely responsible for making graffiti a respected art form, the anonymous Banksy directed the iconic opening theme and couch gag for The Simpsons.

On October 31, 2010, AMC will debut their newest series, the Frank Darabont directed The Walking Dead, the first apocalyptic zombie TV series that has a real chance of being a huge hit.

I usually reserve such meaningless pieces of awesome for Friday’s, but I couldn’t help myself with this one. Plus, we’re close enough. This studly Pug is quite the connoisseur of classic TV theme music. Here he is singing the Batman theme. And here I am giggling like a tickled midget. Link

While Apple is getting all sorts of heat for their faulty design and software issues of the iPhone 4, the iPad remains a fallback excuse for what makes Apple just so Apple-y. It’s slick, it’s smooth, it’s edible, it’s quick and maybe most important, it’s fun. In fact, the iPad is such a success that other companies are starting to ...

A premium Hulu service has been in the rumor mill for well over a year now, so it doesn’t come as much surprise that Hulu Plus was just announced. For $9.99 a month (let’s call it $10, just to make it sound more ominous) you get ad-supported HD streams of the full current season of your favorite show and back ...
Read More »LOST Alternate Ending Revealed
This alternative ending was the originally planned ending for the widely watched LOST finale. ABC pulled the ending at the last second because it was viewed as being too provocative. And for once, I agree. This filth does not belong on national TV. Please, tell your kids to go in a different room or at least shield their eyes before ...

Meg Griffin’s doppelganger has been discovered, and she apparently resides in some random bank, or post office, or some sort of venue featuring tiny safes. But who care’s about the safes! It’s Meg from Family Guy in the flesh! And there certainly is quite a bit of flesh. Should I be embarrassed that I’d still hit it? Nahhhh. No shame in my ...
