Good morning, new The Office and season premiere of Survivor: Fiji tonight. While I work on last nights FNL recap, here are some links to tickle your pickle…

Here is a guide to still enjoying Lost as there fanbase seems to be dissatisfied with the current season. They should have made something like this for The Sopranos last year.

David Faustiino, better known as Bud Bundy has filed for Divorce from his wife that he married in 2004. I had no idea men were allowed to initiate divorce in California, maybe they never do because they get screwed in family court so frequently. Anyways, it seems like a ploy to get his name in the headlines and maybe find some work. The last time I recall seeing him in anything was an Entourage cameo in “The Review” at Jessica Alba’s house party.

Here is some relationship advice from Sarah Silverman that you probably don’t want to heed.

I’ve already ranted enough about the general malaise that is Superbowl commercials, but doesn’t it seem like every year, everyone complains about how bad they were relative to its predecessors? If memory serves, common consensus in the media and public is that we haven’t had a good Superbowl commercial in ten years.

Was Prince’s halftime show really that impressive? There is not a chance it was better than U2’s in 2002, but I wouldn’t know because I didn’t watch it on Sunday. It’s remarkable Prince still has mainstream appeal after the number Chapelle did on him.

Here’s some good news, Jennifer Esposito is set to join the cast of Rescue Me. I have my reservations about whether her acting style will blend with that of the cast, though I did like her in Crash. Either way, it’s more eye candy.

At least Patrick Waterburn is honest with himself about the likely fate of Rules of Engagement.

I’ll try to complete the Friday Night Lights recap today, it all depends on my work schedule. Have a pleasant afternoon.
