People truly have a lot of free time.

We have an official date and time: June 13th at 9p.m. MARK your calendars!

I just finished watching season 4 of “Skins” last week and am super excited that today they announced that the show was renewed for two more seasons. The downside is that like the reboot between season 2 and 3 seasons 5 and 6 will have an all new cast.

You can now watch last week’s episode of “LOST” with a commentary from Micheal Emerson!

Jenny was duck-taped to a chair and had a gun pressed against her pony tail, but she wasn’t really concerned about it. People tried to kill her all the time. Her real fears were squished and causing pain to surge though her stomach, literally. Jenny had to poop. (Read on …)

It was an amazing Ben centric week! My full thoughts after the break: (Read on …)

This week was action packed. Checkout my full write-up after the break. (Read on …)

Here is the best write-up so far I’ve seen of the Paley Festival’s “Lost” panel and here is a sample of some of the interesting stuff you can find at the link:

• 7:53 PM – Damon reveals they’ll explain what the “Hurleybird” is in the final episodes. Note to self: look up what “Hurleybird” is.
• 7:55 PM – Both Damon and Carlton freely admit Walt would still be part of the show if it were possible for Malcolm David Kelley not to age. That being said, they’re “working on a way to try and bring it all back before ‘Lost’ is all said and done.”
• 7:57 PM – Paul asks why Ben says Jack isn’t on Jacob’s list in “I Do” when he’s on the list in Jacob’s cave. “Whether or not that actually came from Jacob or came from Ben pretending that he had some relationship with Jacob that he didn’t have – that’s always been my interpretation. He wants Jack Shepherd to perform the surgery on him so everything that’s happening in that season is sort of filtered through whether or not Ben is telling the truth or not.”

There is a ton more in the article so if you’re a hardcore “LOST” fan make sure you check it out.

I’ve already talked about how much I like “Mercy,” even though there is a 95% chance it will get canceled, and now that James Van Der Beek has joined the cast it has jumped to become one of my favorite new shows of the season.

After a crazy long absence “The Boondocks” will return in May! Here is the full press release:

The Boondocks Announces Season Three Premiere Date
The Boondocks, the award-winning animated Adult Swim series based on Aaron McGruder’s comic strip by the same name, returns this spring for its third season. After taking a two year hiatus, creative and executive producer McGruder announced on his twitterfeed (@aaronmcgruder) that the third season premiere of The Boondocks will air on Sunday, May 2nd at 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Adult Swim. The series, produced by Rebel Base in association with Sony Pictures Television, includes the vocal talents of Regina King (“Southland”) as Huey and Riley Freeman; John Witherspoon (“Friday After Next”) as Granddad; Gary Anthony Williams (“Boston Legal”) as Uncle Ruckus; Cedric Yarbrough (“Reno 911?) as Tom Dubois; Jill Talley (“American Dad”) as Sarah; and Gabby Soleil (“Johnson Family vacation”) as Jazmine.

The show will return to the small screen continuing to provide the touchy, and oftentimes controversial, humor and situations for which the show has become infamous for. The third season will cover various topics that range from politics and mainstream media, to social norms and pop culture.

It just dawned on me, but on “Smallville,” EVERY series regular knows Clark’s secret except for Lois. It’s really weird since back in the day nobody knew.

These two do a decent job of spoiling 50 of 2009’s biggest movies.

Today is the day that the PS3’s died. An internal clock problem has called millions of playstion 3’s across the country to go belly up, including mine. Here is the official (and poorly written) press release:

TV By The Numbers sums it up best:

Back in August 2008 when Michael Phelps was winning gold medal after gold medal, it was fun and for a TV ratings blog, it was a break from the monotony of the summer broadcast  network schedule of repeats, reality shows and summer burn off.

The winter Olympics winds up being quite a bit the same: a broadcast network schedule of repeats, reality shows and crap to stuff to burn off while the Olympics are on.   We’re used to that sort of thing in the summer, but we’re not accustomed to repeats of NCIS and The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and House in February.  So rather than breaking up the ratings monotony, the winter Olympics helps create it.

Oise bit into the olive and peanut butter sandwich and then passed it back to Joey. Faerie taste buds are different from humans. Where Joey tasted creamy sweetness with a salty twist, Oise felt the most amazing thing he had ever tried. The feeling that ran through his green two-foot body was like the smell of a spring storm, the warm embrace of a loved one, or seeing a puppy trip and do a somersault. (Read on …)
