Breaking Bad Review: "Cornered" (Episode 4.06)
“I am not in danger Skyler, I am the danger. A guy opens this door and gets shot, you think that of me? No, I am the one that knocks!” Walter White is starting to crack. It was evident in last week’s episode when he foolishly told Hank that Heisenberg is probably still out there. And while much of what Walt says is true (a major empire and business falling apart without him), a part of the rant rang delusional. Walt’s need for power and control is one of the reason’s he’s been floundering so much this season. I believe... read more
Futurama Review: "The Tip of the Zoidberg" (6.23)
Because Futurama has had about the most irregular airing schedule in the history of television, it can be easy to lose track of what the show “should” be doing in its sixth season. Because it’s been either starting or stopping for the better part of a decade, not to mention trying something completely different with its movies, the show hasn’t really had time to settle down and do what a mature sitcom (or show of any sort) would do by now.... read more
New Sarah Silverman Sitcom Sparks Bidding War
Using “sitcom” and “Sarah Silverman” in the same sentence used to send shudders down studio head’s spines. Her short lived Comedy Central program received critical acclaim and decent viewership during its three season run, but as time passes so did interest in the crude program. Eventually it cost more to produce than it brought in. Now the star has sparked a bidding war between ABC, FOX and NBC. read more

Billy Crystal Interested in Hosting Oscars Again
Eight time Academy Awards host, Billy Crystal, is ready to step back onto the stage. He said he was ‘itchy’ to host again after making an appearance at last year’s ceremony during a tribute to Bob Hope. When asked about hosting at an event in California he said, “It's always fun. It's really hard, but maybe one or two more times? I don't know. They know where I am.” read more
Radiohead to Perform on SNL Season Premiere
Britain's seminal art-rock band Radiohead has never exactly gravitated toward mainstream exposure. But lately the notoriously aloof quintet has been warming up and making an effort to reach a wider audience — especially in America. read more
Sex and the City To Return For Another Season?
After two adventures on the big screen, Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda might be bringing Sex and the City back to the small screen. With the critical response to Sex and the City 2 being less than stellar, work on a film prequel to the television series has taken a backseat to the possibility of a seventh season of HBO’s hit show. “Ultimately Darren Star—the man who created the hit series—will have the overall say, but everyone is agreed a TV show is the direction they want to take the franchise in,” said an unnamed insider, according to the Daily... read more

Breaking Bad Review: "Shotgun" (Episode 4.05)
Swerving chaotically in and out of traffic, Walt races across town fumbling with his cell phone. He still can’t get a hold of Jesse, and he’s telling Saul to give all the money that he’s made to his wife in the result that they don’t hear from him again. Similar to the opening scene in season one, he tells his family he loves them by making a call to the home answering machine. Walt is preparing for the worst as he races towards getting Jesse back.... read more
Futurama Review: "Fry Am the Egg Man" (6.22)
The element of Futurama that’s been missing the most since its return is its heart. Not that the show was ever filled to the brim with poignantly moving episodes; comedy has always been its core. But during its initial run the show occasionally took the time to deal with deeper human issues than just outsmarting an alien race intent on destroying the Earth. Episodes like “Jurassic Bark” aren’t something you can repeat, but smaller moments like Fry’s relationship with a Leela-esque narwhal were equally touching. Those little bits of humanity help the show remain grounded in a universe where at... read more
Tig Notaro: Straight-Faced Renaissance Lady
Tig Notaro delivers her jokes in a quintessential deadpan. She can discuss anything—from vomiting in her mouth to the inexplicable ubiquity of Taylor Dayne to the comically misunderstood threat of hotel molestation—without faltering from it, a feat that’s both impressive and almost unnerving in its consistency. read more
