What You Missed Last Night: Stephen Colbert does
... the sports

post from TV Squad on 03 November 2009 12:01:00 PM. © TV Squad

You don't usually see Stephen Colbert talking about sports. He even addresses that a little bit in this clip from last night's show, where he talks about the winner of the New York City marathon and Olympic speedskating.

This show remains one of the funniest shows on television.

TV Tonight: V Premiere

post from BuzzSugar on 03 November 2009 11:52:53 AM. © BuzzSugar

The Visitors are coming! Tonight, V invades ABC with an updated redo of the eighties sci-fi series. I'm still somewhat confused over why the network is splitting up the season into two separate installments (the first four episodes now; the rest in March), but you can bet I'll be watching to assess if the show is worth following into Spring.

If you're not familiar with the original - or didn't take a peek at the my video of the first ten minutes - the storyline follows a group of aliens who visit Earth seeking resources in exchange for their advanced technology. But as you might guess, their "good" intentions aren't what they seem. Scott Wolf of Party to Five fame is one of the stars, along with Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost - which is perhaps why I'm already drawing up comparisons to that fan favorite. (Seriously, ABC even has a Peace Ambassador Program online that viewers can join. The Dharma Initiative, anyone?)

I doubt I'll be as addicted to this new group as I am to the Oceanic gang, but I am loving the trailer thanks to Muse's "Uprising" as its theme song. Check it out for yourself, and tell me if you'll be tuning in this evening, when you read more.

The Big Bang Theory- The Cornhusker Vortex

post from The Unfiltered Ramblings of a DVR Addict on 03 November 2009 11:48:27 AM. © The Unfiltered Ramblings of a DVR Addict

While this wasn’t the worst episode of The Big Bang Theory, I can’t say it was one of my favorites either. There seems to be a trend on this show of separating the storylines more than ever before. Last night’s episode ran two very distinct storylines one with Leonard and Penny and one with Raj [...]

Q&A - Aaron Staton (Ken Cosgrove)

post from Mad Men on 03 November 2009 11:48:00 AM. © Mad Men

The actor behind Sterling Cooper's Senior Vice President of Account Services speaks to AMCtv.com about competition on the set then narrates a typical day on the set.

Q: Pete and Ken compete for Head of Accounts the entire season. Are there any off-set competitions in the cast?

A: I feel very competitive with Robert Morse off-set. We often duke it out. He always wins. I used to be more competitive. Sure, I like to win when I play basketball or board games or video games, but my day isn't ruined if I lose. I'm always up for a rematch. In all seriousness, that's something that's nice about maturing. When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff. It's funny now to think about it -- that a friend getting a job or something had anything to do with me... I think that my relationship with my wife has played a pivotal role in the chilling out of Aaron.

Q: In spite of all the drama at Sterling Cooper, Ken seems to take everything in stride. Is there anything from this season that would've shocked you in real life?

Who'll host the Oscars The oddsmakers like Billy
Crystal

post from TV Squad on 03 November 2009 11:29:00 AM. © TV Squad

oscar_statuette Oscar roulette is usually played when it comes time to figure out the nominations. However, this year there seems to be a wheel of fortune spinning with the names of possible hosts for the show. Of course, the folks running the show have intimated that they might want to have a few stars sharing the duties. Historically, that hasn't worked out too well.

The other day when Hugh Jackman removed his name from the running, I asked you for your ideas and told you that I like Kathy Griffin. Jimmy liked George Clooney and Justin Timberlake. Sancty suggested Neil Patrick Harris.

Review: How I Met Your Mother - Bagpipes

(S05E06) The thing that always amazes me about this show is that how Old Ted is perfectly content to tell his kids about all the tawdry things he or Barney did back in those heady days of the mid-to-late-'00s, but every so often he realizes who he's talking to and substitutes a clean term for a dirty term. I'd imagine this inconsistency is done on purpose by Bays/Thomas and their writers; why have Old Ted pull back on his stories unless there's a laugh to be had?

This is how we got the references to "sandwiches," for instance. And this is how we got the running joke about bagpipes tonight. I liked how it was just a joke in the background and didn't really reference any major story. The major stories, though, were both pretty funny this week.
