Almost there!

The McFreeds ruminate... This will be our future in Fall 2009 we hope!

Mixed Bag

This week, assuming it started on the weekend, has been a very varied roller coaster. There has been a decent mix of good and bad going on and up until today the good outweighed the bad. Friday : I finished my first full week at my new job somewhere between two and three. I could probably have...

Unseen TV: 30 Rock on the Gay Bomb (Tina Fey)

30 Rock on Hulu: Season 2 Episode 15 Kudos to 30 Rock & Tina Fey for using the real, failed defense project "The Gay Bomb" in the show. You can't even make that stuff up!

Death: the ultimate resume booster

I am a recovering craigslist addict. While at first it was strictly a professional relationship (me looking for jobs), it eventually evolved into me looking up other things on the site (i.e. the missed connections section -- like Serendipity for freaks). The other day I came across this ad. Want 2...

Late Night With GaryVee!

Late night with GaryVee! I'll be at work when it's on, but the Tivo will catch it for me for when I get home. Awesome!

Brothers & Sisters - Kevin and Scotty Get Engaged

Sean says... Stefan and I have been fans of television show Brothers and Sisters, but the on-again/off-again romance between brother Kevin Walker (Welsh actor Matthew Rhys) and Scotty Wandell (Luke MacFarlane) has always been great fun. The relationship between these two has been so real, as much as...

US Kath & Kim: no Sharon!

I’m not even that huge a fan of Kath & Kim but I find the US remake news interesting. The two lead characters will still be Kath and Kim Day, but there will be no Sharon, Kel or Brett! Yes, they are being Americanized to Heather, Phil and Craig! I am keeping an open mind but just as I can’t...

Leave It To Grey's...

A Mother and TV Reunion

Happy Mother's Day to all the mammas! My mom is a rockstar. I don't know what I'd do without her, just saying she's the greatest doesn't do her justice. Being a mom is such hard work, any kind of mom, single, married, working, stay-at-home, younger, older, it doesn't matter--they're all rockstars....

Casting for Fall Shows

So I started this post sometime last week and never got around to finishing it. And I just kept accumulating links with casting updates I found interesting. Oh, it's that time of year again. Thanks, Upfronts! Trixie the Whore settles on Caprica! So, I'm not a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica. I've...

and maybe one day someone will make a GOOD movie out of your life, one that we'll actually watch

...nah, probably not. Rich from FourFour has done the world the incomparable service of watching the entire terrible Anna Nicole Smith basic-cable biopic and distilling it into one 7-minute capsule of awesomeness. Watch out for Karl Fucking Malden playing her ancient billionare husband. If I ever...

Second Look: "THE BOURNE IDENTITY" (1988)

Second Look: "THE BOURNE IDENTITY" (1988) Years after Robert Ludlum's famous literary trilogy about an amnesiac CIA agent was published, Matt Damon starred in the movie versions of those novels between 2002 and 2007. Naturally, they became big box office hits and turned Damon into a full fledged...

Hidden Gem on ABC.com

Or maybe people actually watch this show, I don't know. I don't have a television. But what I do have is stolen internet, so I waste half an hour a week (or enhance half an hour a week) watching Samantha Who. Pretty great.

Life on Mars in the American press more

Life on Mars (the US version) has made the news a bit more lately, with a report that David E. Kelley could leave the show if financial arrangements don’t suit. Variety reports that October Road executive producers Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec and Scott Rosenberg could join the series as...

Secret Swap

The thing about secrets that confuzzles is that the people who own them don't think they'll come out. Even when they themselve reveal them. Simon Foster, for example, fell on bad times after going on a the British show "Wife Swap" and having his character defined by being in a relationship whether...

choking to death on my own vomit and other stuff

I snapped this picture when I was leaving Boarders last night with my copy of Barbara Walter's Audition. It's the first book I've bought on the day it came out in... forever, if not my entire life. I only got about 50 pages in last night before I fell asleep (I was working until midnight!) but so...

American Idol: The Final Four

Jason Castro: I'm not quite over the pretty that is Jason Castro. I still want to take him between my knees and go to that head of his with a bottle of patchouli oil, but it's time release Jason Castro back into the wild and let him roam freely in the local coffee shop. Ever since his Israel...

I'm Watching Boris

What will Boris do? Many Londoners are wondering the same thing I am, for better, for worse, for whatever. Boris Johnson is our new Mayor, and I’m looking forward to watching these things unfold, living under this new leadership: Buffoonery There is going to be a lot of it, and I get the feeling...
