Friday Links

by State School Elitist

A little linkage on your Friday afternoon…

This article asks if we just went through the best Fall TV season ever. It seems to be fixated on the four major networks, so considering the only series’ I watch are Friday Night Lights, Survivor and The Office, I sincerely hope not.

CBS’ neurosurgeon drama,3 Lbs, died on the table after a mere three episodes.

NBC is rearranging their programming schedule to escape ratings purgatory. Friday Night Lights moving to Wednesdays can only help the shows cause.

50 Cent gets socio-political all over Oprah.

Radar online has compiled a list of the top 100 TV catch phrases.

Apparently the women in the Baltimore area were displeased with the local networks decision to air last nights Ravens-Bengals NFL game, pushing back the time of Grey’s Anatomy to 1am. If the men and women of Baltimore watch The Wire instead of some formulaic hospital drama, they might realize their city has problems eclipsing that of the local affiliates programming decisions. Speaking of which, here is a detailed interview with David Simon, the creator of The Wire.

Back later with last night’s Survivor recap.

About Grid Effect

Here at Grid Effect we discuss a morass of television series and recap a select few that are deemed worthy of such attention. We also provide a weekly links post that keeps you informed on all worthwhile topics in the television industry. In short, if you watch Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy or Two and A Half Men... this isn't the site for you (451 Press provides other such pages you can link to at the bottom). With a couple exceptions, we try to focus our efforts on the more cerebral qualities of your idiot box.
