Ah, the teen comedy. It's one of those genres that just won't die, and why should it? When we're younger, we get a glimpse of what might be. When we're actually teens, we're able to gaze upon an alternate reality: "Mine's not like this, but maybe someone else's is." And upon reaching adulthood, we can view the films and laugh at how unrealistic their premises are, and yet how real some of their characters seem......

It was obvious that 90% of the crowd was at The Trocadero the night of February 2 (yep, we are super late on this review) for one reason and one reason only: to see One Republic. The band, enjoying its recent success at the hands of The CW (their song "All We Are" was apparently played during a very pivotal moment during an episode of Gossip Girl) has such a big under-age following that The......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Samantha Who? (Mon, 9:30PM-10PM, ABC) - Christina Applegate's new show (this is the pilot) features her as a woman who wakes up from a coma with amnesia and discovers that the person she used to be was a bitch, a cheater, an alcoholic, and had no friends. We remember a little movie called Regarding Henry that had a similar premise, but starred Harrison Ford instead of Applegate.......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Aliens in America (Mon, 8:30PM-9PM, The CW) - Here's an interesting show premise: a Pakistani Muslim exchange student named Raja comes to a Wisconsin town and is not exactly welcomed with open arms. In fact, in this first episode, his host family have to decide whether to send him back, as they weren't expecting a Muslim. We're betting they decide to keep him. He gets help adjusting......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. The Big Bang Theory (Mon, 8:30PM-9PM, CBS) - It's the debut episode of a new show about a couple of nerdy genius physicists (played by Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons) who share an apartment and whose lives are disrupted when they meet their beautiful new neighbor (Kaley Cuoco). One of them inevitably falls in love with her on sight and subsequently - gasp! - entertains an illogical......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Monday Night Football: Redskins at Eagles (Mon, 8:30PM-11:30PM, ABC & ESPN) - The Eagles have their first home game on a Monday night against a team they really should be able to beat. In fact, people are already calling this one a "must-win" game for the Eagles. We're trying to remain hopeful and confident... but last week's showing was pretty poor... SPAM: The Documentary (Tue, 11PM-12AM, Court......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Heroes (Mon, 9PM, NBC) - It's the penultimate episode of the first season of Heroes. Hiro is supposed to learn the secret of his past, which will mean another awesome George Takei cameo. Rock on. An Affair to Remember (Mon, 8PM & 10:30PM, AMC) - There's nothing new about this classic 1957 love story, but if you've never seen An Affair to Remember, now's your chance. (BTW,......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Philly Sports (Mon, 7PM-10PM, ESPN2 & CSN) - You can flip between Comcast Sportsnet and ESPN2 Monday night and watch two different Philly sports teams battle it out. On ESPN2, it's Arena Football with the Soul at Chicago, and on Comcast Sportsnet it's the Phillies at the Braves. With two Philly games going on at the same time, there's a better chance one of them will win!......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Barbarians II (Mon, 8PM-9PM, History Channel) - It's Barbarians Week on the History Channel, and that means lots of shows about barbarians! This particular one is the first part of a four-part history of the Barbarians who swarmed all over the corpse of the dying Roman Empire (how's that for a metaphor?). This episode covers the Vandals and their invasion of northern Gaul, Spain, and North Africa.......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. We've gotta say, we get a bit of a kick out of throwing snowballs at NBC10's rather annoying, be-bow-tied weatherman, "Hurricane" Schwartz, even if the game is on NBC's own site, and is therefore rather tame. Thanks much to the anonymous contributor who gave us the heads-up on this link! A detailed comparative analysis of '80s teen time travel comedies Back to the......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Golden Globe Awards (Mon; 8PM-11PM; NBC) - During the 64th annual occurrence of this TV and movie awards show, Warren Beatty will receive the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. The winners of the other awards are, of course, still a secret. (Check E! at this same time Tuesday night for the inevitable run-down of the clothing and fashions.) (Link) American Idol (Tue; 8PM-10PM; Fox) - Oh,......

ABC 6’s Action News #1 yet again, CBS 3 getting stronger As expected the awful, retro-themed, over-sensational Action News on ABC 6 has dominated the November sweeps ratings once again. So we look at the real horse race for number two instead of theorizing why ABC 6 is constantly first in the ratings. (Subliminal messages in the music? The mesmerizing quality of Jim Gardner’s wig?) TV Spy reports that in the 11 p.m. race for......

WCAU newscast changes are officially in the works The changes at NBC 10 are now official and, according to a press release from the station, will be rolled out over the next few weeks. The 4 p.m. newscast will be renamed “All That and More,” will be anchored by Tracy Davidson, and will focus on consumer issues.

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. ET Presents The CW: Launch of a New Network (Mon; 9PM-10PM; UPN/CW) - As you already know if you've watched TV or read anything about TV in the past month or so, there's a new network being born on September 20th, which is really just the sad remains of two networks: UPN and The WB. If you're interested to see what programming they'll be offering, you can......

This week’s quote comes from The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abriged). When the company assembles onstage to make sure that they’ve sufficiently covered all of the Bard’s works, one of the actors asks about Coriolanus. Another actor replies that he doesn’t want to cover that show – he “doesn’t like the anus part.” Now, on with the listings! The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) - “Here’s the story of a brotha by......
