Tuesday Links

by State School Elitist

I meant to write about Rob Corddry’s new sitcom The Winner and last night’s Black Donnelly’s, but I got to work an hour late this morning and could not find the time. So as my regular fail safe, here are some links…

Much to my relief, Knights of Prosperity has been cancelled. If the guy who plays Murmur from The Sopranos had known this would happen, the writers from The Black Donnelly’s probably wouldn’t have killed him off in the pilot. Man, does that guy get around.

This article helps explain why I do not watch Heroes or 24.

Is it just me, or has Stephen Colbert been risking over-exposure for the last few months? Between the ice cream, the hockey mascot, Bill O’Reilly interviews and presidential roasts… he might get a little burnt out, as well as his audience.

In case you were concerned, Gary, also known as Papa Smurf, who had to leave Survivor last season for medical reasons, states that an allergic reaction is what forced him off the island.

And finally, the actors that form the entourage on HBO’s Entourage are incredibly grateful to have been cast on the series. Considering the knock on all four of them (with the exceptionof Kevin Dillon) is that they leave something to be desired on screen, this disproportional response is fitting.

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.
