Rescue Me from Boredom

By Mike Sadowski | Published: August 31, 2010 | 0 Comments
Two reminders, the same two reminders we’ll have all week: Reminder 1: The season finale of Rescue Me is tonight. Just kidding. The actual reminder is that we’re doing another PopRox live chat Friday at noon. We’ve had fun with these so far, so we’re going to keep doing them as long as it stays fun on the [...]

Emmy Predictions

By Mike Sadowski | Published: August 27, 2010 | 0 Comments
When the Emmy nominations came out in July, it was glorious. For the first time in … ever? … the Emmy people seemed to get things right honoring the best TV has to offer. There was no Boston Legal to laugh at, no Mentalist to scratch our heads over, no Entourage to make us think the [...]

Pinch Me — the Emmys Got It (Close to) Right

By Mike Sadowski | Published: July 8, 2010 | 0 Comments
Every year I loathe Emmy Nomination Day. Every year, I get my hopes up that the best work in this golden age of TV will be recognized. I wake up hopeful, charged-up and with my fingers crossed. Every year, those hopes are dashed when the likes of Boston Legal and Two and a Half Men get nominated over far [...]

Is Conan Going a Little Too Far?

Team Coco gets to fire the first shot across Jay Leno’s bow. In his first post-Tonight Show debacle television interview, Conan O’Brien told 60 Minutes he wouldn’t have done what Jay Leno did. In Leno’s defense, the way O’Brien is framing it, Leno didn’t have much of a choice. It’s the one thing I agree with [...]

(If you’re having trouble viewing any of the videos in Explorer, please let me know. You may have to use Firefox or Chrome to see them. Sorry.)  Hollywood is sounding like Goat Boy from Saturday Night Live right now. Hey, remember the 80s? Hollywood sure does. Over the next eight months, you’re about to be slammed with so much [...]

it’s ok to change your mind

By Mike Sadowski | Published: February 5, 2010 | 0 Comments
We’re all allowed to change our minds every now and then, right? It’s valid, right?
