ABC's Conveyor Belt of Love will literally treat
people like meat

post from TV Squad on 09 December 2009 11:10:00 PM. © TV Squad

ABC has officially found a way to turn dating reality shows into a literal metaphor.

The network has approved a one-hour special called Conveyor Belt of Love in which prospective bachelors are presented to blushing bachelorettes on (you guessed it!) a conveyor belt like so much pre-packaged meat.

The show is being produced by the game show powerhouse Endemol, which produced a similar dating show back in the day called Chains of Love in which people were (you guessed it again!) chained to their dates. Let's hope these literal freaks never produce a dating show It's Time to Cut Him Off.

Check out the show's official trailer after the jump. Watch it with someone you love who reminds you that you don't have to grovel for affection on television anymore.

COLLARED BY THE LEDGER

post from INNER TOOB on 09 December 2009 10:11:00 PM. © INNER TOOB

With the mid-season break for the holidays, 'White Collar' officially joined the TV Universe in the last episode, "Free Fall". Neal Caffrey was on the run and a very bad mug-shot was plastered on the front page of the New York Ledger.

Most TV fans know that the New York Ledger is probably the ultimate bit of TV trivia from Dick Wolf's corner of the TV Universe. It frequently shows up as the paper of record in episodes of 'Law & Order', 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit', and 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent'. I think it also appeared in at least one episode of 'Law & Order: Trial By Jury'. And then there was another off-shoot series which had the Ledger as its focal setting, 'Deadline'.

According to Wikipedia, the Ledger has shown up on 'CSI: NY', which would make sense since even though they're different production companies and different networks, it's still one big tele-NYC.

And now we find a copy of the Ledger in 'White Collar', bringing this USA Network show into the Westphallian fold. (Its inclusion in the Toobworld version of the TV Universe was a given. All are "well come".)

Which is no surprise considering USA Network is a subsidiary to the NBC parent company (which was GE, but now looks to be Comcast)..... BCnU!

NFL to try 3D football broadcast live on Sunday

post from TV Squad on 09 December 2009 10:03:00 PM. © TV Squad

3-D_viewing_50s_glasses Imagine if you will that you have a ticket to the amazing new monolithic football megaplex, Cowboys Stadium, this Sunday to watch the Dallas Cowboys play the San Diego Chargers. It's two probable playoff teams. It's a potential offensive showcase with two strong-armed quarterbacks. It's got everything to recommend it and you have a ticket.

Now, how excited are to learn that you can watch the game in 3D? That's right, when you enter the venue, you'll be handed 3D glasses. The Cowboy-Charger game will then be broadcast on the huge HD screen in 3D. That's the big screen that hangs over the field. Every play will immediately be converted from HD to 3D with some exciting new technology created in Edison, New Jersey. If you're at home, you won't see 3D, but if you're there, you can wear glasses just like these folks in the picture.

AS SEEN ON TV: TIGER & ELIN WOODS

post from INNER TOOB on 09 December 2009 09:01:00 PM. © INNER TOOB

It was O'Bvious that 'Saturday Night Live' would have to tackle the story.....
TIGER & ELIN WOODS
AS SEEN ON:
'Saturday Night Live'

AS PLAYED BY:
Kenan Thompson as Tiger
Blake Lively (host) as Elin

From Yahoo TV News:
'Saturday Night Live' is making headlines for featuring a skit over the weekend, which parodied domestic violence.
On Saturday night's episode, the NBC sketch comedy show made light of Tiger Woods' scandalous week, satirizing reports - denied by the golfer - that his wife, Elin Nordegren, attacked him prior to his early-morning car accident on November 27 with a sketch featuring Keenan Thomson and host Blake Lively.

However, the show's musical guest was Rihanna - a victim of domestic violence earlier this year from then-boyfriend Chris Brown -- prompting concerns from several media outlets that the show's humor was insensitive from some corners. From the New York Times:

In the comedy sketch, Tiger Woods (played by the ?S.N.L.? performer Kenan Thompson) gives a series of press conferences attempting to apologize for acts of infidelity. In each appearance, the fictional Woods appears with more bruises and injuries, evidently sustained at the hands of Elin (played in the skit by Ms. Lively).
Wherever you stand on the subject, once broadcast, it has become a fixture in Skitlandia.....

You can see the sketch at either nbc.com or at hulu.com...

BCnU!

Colbert ignores U.S. speed skater who called him
a jerk, for now

post from TV Squad on 09 December 2009 08:03:00 PM. © TV Squad

It's been two days worth of new episodes now and Stephen Colbert has suddenly stopped talking about his beloved Olympic speed skating team. It's a surprise since the man has given more props to his sponsorship of the team than Gatorade does for the Super Bowl.

That may be because team member Shani Davis called Colbert a "jerk" for running his smear campaign against the Canadians, a smear campaign that seemed to get the Canadians to back and give his team practice time on Canada's ice. It even almost seemed as though Colbert was going to address the name-calling in his opening "Who's Attacking Me Now" segment on Monday, but instead went into the comments made by White House Recovery Act Coordinator G. Edward DeSeve.

Should Colbert call out Davis for his name calling and more importantly, will he?

Jersey Shore Guido: Pierced and ready to show it

post from Planet Homo on 09 December 2009 08:01:00 PM. © Planet Homo

Jersey Shore?s self-described ?guido? Paul "Pauly D"Delvecchio (far left) isn?t shy about showing off ? after all, after just twoepisodes of the MTV reality series, he and a housemate hit the sheets,after which she announced that his manhood is pierced.

"I wasn't expecting that it was being filmed," Pauly D told E! Online?s Mark Malkin. "But I don't mind. I mean, it's whatever."

"I didn't tell anyone about my piercing," he added, "but I'm not shy."

Now Delvecchio tells Malkin he wouldn?t mind showing more in the pages of Playgirl ... but unlike Levi Johnston, he?d go full-frontal.
