I think I’m getting old if we have to offer primers to today’s kids on Beavis and Butthead.

On TripAdvisor, Reviews Mixed for Schrute Farms – NYTimes.com

I gotta be honest. The art-imitating-life-passing-as-real-due-to-the-internet thing may have hit a high point with the Shrute Farm B&B listing. This is pretty funny actually.
LIFE ON THE COUCH: Plenty of reasons to just say no to Leno – Living – ReviewJournal.com
I’ve been waiting for someone to lay out the rationale for rejecting Jay Leno. Here it is for those still unconvinced.
As far as I’ve ever been concerned, the guy isn’t funny. Plus he seems like a smug jackass.
‘Nuff said.
Getting Geekier: The Evolution of “The Big Bang Theory” | GeekDad | Wired.com
A great review on the progress The Big Bang Theory has undergone to becoming a fantastic funny show.
Alessandra Torresani Gets Inside Caprica’s Prime Cylon | Underwire | Wired.com
This Alessandra sounds like a way crazy chick but honestly, this interview makes me want to want to watch Caprica more than knowing that Eric Stoltz is still getting a paycheck from someone.

Late Night War: Kimmel Airs Ken Burns-Style Documentary About Leno/Conan Drama
Kimmel normally doesn’t amuse me, not that I dislike him and all, but he did peak with The Man Show. That said, this isn’t bad.
Conan O’Brien Says He Won’t Host ‘Tonight Show’ Following Leno – Media Decoder Blog – NYTimes.com

I mean, Conan O’Brien is funny, but who knew he was such a class act?
From his statement concerning his worries about the legacy of The Tonight Show and in not screwing over Jimmy Fallon, who took over his old show:
For 60 years, the “Tonight Show” has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the “Tonight Show” into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The “Tonight Show” at 12:05 simply isn’t the “Tonight Show.” Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the “Late Night” show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard, and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of “The Tonight Show.” But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet, a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the “Tonight Show,” I believe nothing could matter more.
Why is it him that is the only guy worried about the legacy of one of NBC’s biggest shows? Shouldn’t the execs worry?
I mean, hell, I get Leno. He doesn’t give a shit for anyone but himself. If successful, he’ll have managed to screw over NBC, the show, David Letterman, Conan, and even Howard Stern for all the bits he stole from him. What a piece of crap.
Here’s Conan’s monologue whole episode from last night.
And Letterman’s two cents from the whole debacle:
Also, a good article from NPR on the subject.
Brian Williams: Why Jon Stewart Is Good For News : NPR
It turns out that, yes, The Daily Show is considered a credible media watchdog by some news anchors themselves.
That’s probably a good thing as everyone puts Birther idiots on the air, along with other cretins who would solely belong on FAUXNews if the world had any damned sense.
