If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or email. Thanks for visiting!So, my laptop spent some time in limbo these past few days, deciding whether it would die or whether it just needed a good reformat. The reformat worked, but I still need to do some work to get [...]

If You Like Friday Night Lights, You’ll Love Homefront

I’m a huge fan of Friday Night Lights. There are myriad reasons for this, but one of the big ones is Kyle Chandler.
I first saw Chandler on a little show about a family growing and changing after World War II. Homefront ran for two seasons in the early 90s. In addition to Chandler, the show [...]

Emmy Noms

In case you didn’t feel like getting up early (5:30 am Pacific? Really?) to watch the Primetime Emmy nominations announced this morning, here is a link to the nominations from the major categories.
I’m excited to see a few drops of new blood in there. (Way to go, Flight of the Conchords!) But still nothing for [...]

My Fall TV Viewing Schedule

[digg=http://digg.com/television/My_Fall_TV_Viewing_Schedule]Now that the fall lineups have been announced, my viewing plans are falling into place. Mondays and Thursdays are still full, especially now that NBC has announced that they will not move Chuck to Fridays.

Now, Tuesday is dead to me, and Wednesday has just the right [...]

Friday Night Lights Is Back Tonight!

Directv subscribers, don’t forget, Friday Night Lights is on tonight at 9pm and midnight Eastern. That means that we on the West Coast still get to watch it at 9. (I get home from work at 6:30, so it is hard for me to catch some of my non-network shows, e.g., Greek, because they start [...]

Optimedia, a media research group (from what I can tell), just released the results of a new type of rating that assesses the value of a show on all platforms. It takes tv ratings, online streaming, quality, and a lot of other items into consideration when ranking shows. Friday Night Lights, for example, ranks 84 [...]
