Hey, I’m on TV!

View Category I joined the other technology fans on Thursday, June 24, to upgrade my iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4.  I didn’t go over board; I could’ve lined up at six (having reserved a phone the week before), but I didn’t show up till around nine AM.  I stayed in line for four hours, getting my new phone right around one PM.  As I got close to the store entrance, Fox 2, WJBK, showed up to shoot some video, and I ended up in the background of a couple shots.  You can recognize me, on the extreme left, by my malformed Benjamin Franklin physique.

They’ll let anyone on TV nowadays

Newspapers in TV Shows

View Category From Izismile.com (found via Whedonesque.com).  Looks like Ed O’Neill really likes this newspaper.  Thirteen years on and he’s still reading the same page!

Silent Clock

View Category My God—it’s actual text!
    Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve actually blogged on my weblog, but I had to say something now that the news has been confirmed.  Plus, there’s the fact Facebook said my paragraph was too many characters.
    It was confirmed today (Friday) that 24 has been canceled.  Fox claims it’s too expensive to continue.  Having a website devoted to TV and movies, this is big news.  However…
    I hate to say it but I’m not feeling too broken up about 24 saying bye-bye.  Love the show and Keifer is excellent, but the stories have become increasingly implausible, the dangers have become redundant, and the time-wasting subplots all too frequently spoil any momentum.  I’m content to give the series a proper send-off and just re-watch the earlier seasons.  Back when there was only one President Palmer.
    Farewell Jack Bauer.  Get yourself some rest and thanks for being such a hero.
    ... Silent clock ...

Meryl Streep in The Pottymouth

View Category I seem to like these clips, where a bit of profanity slips by the network censors.  I guess it illustrates how harmless it is when they actually hit the airways, how pointless it is to try and camouflage them.  Also, it’s funny to hear the E! censor try to bleep the word and fail so badly.
    Here’s the video, from E!‘s Golden Globes post-show coverage…

Tonys 2009

View Category I don’t usually blog about the Tonys, but because of the affiliation with Straight Guys Who Love Showtunes.com I thought I’d watch the show tonight.  Here’s a screen shot from the “In Memoriam” segment.

Is either of those a photograph of Estelle Getty?

    I had intended to encode my own version of this, but I’ll let YouTube do all the work.  Here’s my favorite moment of the telecast…

Quick, Get Me Video of Walter Reed! No, the Other Walter Reed!

View Category I too kept wondering why the RNCC kept showing that mansion facade behind McCain last night.  (And after ten minutes I was wondering if they could show other channels to watch.)  Turns out there was a reason ... just not a very good reason.  Apparently they meant to show video of Walter Reed military hospital but ended up with video of Walter Reed Middle School.  You have to read this to believe it.
    I wonder if this kind of half-assed web search explains their VP pick.
