Grid Effect

Just a quick note before we get to the links, the most recent Office episode was replayed in Columbus at 2am the same night cancelled the series to bombard us with weather updates. I missed this little nugget of information and failed to record it. A friend of mine, however, was in on the ruse and still has it recorded. So expect a full recap tomorrow. Onto the links…

Mark Burnett got married, surprising that it wasn’t televised.

A Sex In the City feud. Much like the characters on the show, the people behind it are overtly petty and vindictive. The series has been over for three years now, kids. I think it’s time we all just moved on.

Apparently, there is an Entourage fashion line, inspired by the series. Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t they already wear what constitutes in style? My point being, aren’t they just wearing designer labels half the time? So the brand is admittedly a large knock off of several other brands. My disdain for this show is growing exponentially.

It must be nice for Heather Mills to know that her divorce settlement will get her out of having to appear on shows like this, which tend to cater to the lowest common denominator. I mean, you have to be a really vile individual when you’re voted off a dancing competition show prematurely and you only have one foot. If she can’t even extract sympathy from the American public under those circumstances, she really might be better off in England.

“Chasing It” was Gandolfini’s Emmy episode. He’s probably tired of receiving these things, but I would award him with best actor without hesitation. His range of emotions on Sunday went from rationale, to frustrated, to anxious, to homicidal with a level of realism that you only get from The Sopranos

It’s a great day for the misguided wannabe arthouse crowd, Studio 60 is coming back. So for all of you who feel like you are smarter than everyone else when actually you’re giving into sensationalized one-sided politics and deeming it “irreverant” or “meaningful” or “controversial”, it is indeed, a great day.

Hold on a second…this can’t be right, can it? MTV has hired an actual comedian to host their movie awards. Clearly someone with a brain has hacked into the network because I am certain Sarah Michelle Gellar is available this year.

And finally, Alan Sepinwall has asked why can’t Grey’s Anatomy fall out of love with itself? Pssh, that’s like asking American Idol to drop the singing. Actually, that might be a bad example, but you get my point.
