Turkey Day Links

by State School Elitist

In case you have absolutely nothing to do on Thanksgiving, 2006, Here are a few links. I’ll get around to a Survivor recap sometime tomorrow:

Apparently, some people are upset with the attitude of Veronica Mars this season.

NBC is planning to adapt a series from the comedy picture, Thanks You For Smoking.

Big Brother is attempting to cast Kevin Federline for their celebrity edition. We’re really throwing the term “celebrity” around loosely nowadays.

Mongomery Burns was named the second richest fictional character in television history.

This article asks the producer Jon Murray, why should anyone watch the new Real World: Denver? Great question.

And finally, this article explores how one of my favorite film directors, the late director Robert Altman, honed his directing skills through television.

That’s it for today. I hope you either have some personalities in your family or The NFL Network for the KC-Denver game, because the major network games are awful. Happy Thanksgiving.

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.
