Tuesday Night Links

by

With no Friday Night Lights this week (presumably because of Thanksgiving, or else NBC decided to randomly put a Tony Bennett special in the 8pm time slot. Its times like these when I can relate to those who complain about the NCAA Tournament), I decided to put some links in here to tide everyone over until the Nip Tuck recap is posted tomorrow. Enjoy…

-The guy who plays Hiro on the commercial hit Heroes, was on the cover of Time Magazine in 1987 for a piece on “Asian Whiz Kids”. See if you can figure out which one is him (answer is on the bottom of the post). Oh, and Steven Spielberg thinks there is too much violence in the series for its 9pm hour (In light of recent events, I am placing Arrested Development ahead of Seinfeld).

-Yet another reason to hate Scrubs, they are planning on killing off one of their characters. You know, because that is necessary for a series that claims to be a “comedy”. Just admit you’re trying to manipulate the most vulnerable emotions of your predominately female audience and I’ll wave a white flag.

Considering I think David Caruso is the unintentionally funniest thing on television, I had to post this.

Every basement dwellers favorite show is moving to Sundays.

My favorite or second favorite series (I cannot decide if The Sopranos still gets that title over The Wire) is adding one additional episode to the last half of their final season. Huzzah!

-The best comedy in the history of television is being aired on MSN video.

The guy from Heroes is the kid on the left in the blue shirt.
