2008-05-22 16:58:00 Used to be you'd step on your tongue live or on film (later video) and the gaffes never saw the light of day. Except at Christmas parties where the TV news "funny reels" were the highlight of the event. No more. Felix Gillette NYO: "...24 hours after that original O?Reilly freakout video went viral, and pretty soon the nation?s first unofficial Anchor Meltdown Week was in full fucking swing."

Eliot's Boob Tube Love Affair: You Knew I Was A Snake Before You Let Me In
2008-03-12 14:09:00 "For many years, television was a best friend to Eliot Spitzer. By yesterday evening, it had become his blood enemy. Television didn't create the problem. Spitzer did. But television is where we rubberneck these days, and yesterday, with nothing that softened or explained what he seems to have done, most people's original impression was being continually reinforced. He looked guilty." David Hinckley NYDNNYC media apply their This Just In! skills scrambling to update their political spoofs and skits for Saturday night's annual Inner Circle dinner now that Eliot Spitzer's dick's in a wringer by his own hand. Richard Huff NYDNHow was Client 9 tripped up? Spitzer's attempt to structure a $10,000 cash transaction into three parts, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the evidence.

What's A Boob Tube?
2008-03-10 11:28:00 Game show question circa 2021. TV sets are heading for the technology graveyard. More people are watching programs on the Internet. ?I think what we?re seeing right now is a great cultural shift of how this country watches television,? said Seth MacFarlane, the creator of ?Family Guy,? a Fox animated comedy that ranks among the most popular online shows. ?Forty years ago, new technology changed what people watched on TV as it migrated to color. Now new technology is changing where people watch TV, literally omitting the actual television set.? Brian Stelter NYT

Boob Tube Beginnings
2008-01-10 21:40:00 PBS has started airing a four-part documentary called Pioneers of Television. I watched the first two installments this week and while it's not spectacular, it isn't bad, either. The series combines clips from early classic TV shows that span the sitcom, variety, talk show, and game show categories with interviews from notable personalites. The sitcom segment featured I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show, Make Room for Daddy, and The Honeymooners. There isn't anything in them that you probably don't already know about these shows so watch them for the clips, when television actually gave us something to laugh about.

2007-12-11 14:07:00 "The perkier they are the easier they are to dress." Puzzled Fox & Friends bonehead Gretchen Carlson on why Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham would take out her grotesque boob implants. Now that the Spice Girls are back on the concert block Victoria avoids flopping wardrobe malfunctions by removing the implants she claims she never had. What puzzles me is the media hand-wringing over whether Miz Posh had implants. You don't need to be a plastic surgeon to SEE the implants (left) pushed up. Real boobs don't "lift and separate" like that. Gretchen, the woman is anorexic with Pamela Anderson implants. It's hard to fit a D cup into a size zero. We report. You decide. Implants in or out? Daily Mail UK Entertainment WiseNow I'd like to turn to a real life news boob on the Fox News payroll hired earlier this year.

The Fall Boob Tube
2007-09-17 17:54:00 Well another fall season of television is upon us. It seems like each year I lose more and more shows that I actually care about. Frankly, after The O.C. went off the air earlier this year, the only show I had left to actually watch was Lost. Yes I watch Desperate Housewives or the occasional Ugly Betty....but neither of them I HAD to make sure I was near a tv because I didn't want to miss a second. Call it 'getting a life' or 'maturing' to a point where you have more important things to do than worry about fictitious characters. I call it 'sad'. I miss that desire to watch characters mature, finally confess their feelings for a friend after 4 years of unrequited love. I miss the water cooler moments with your co-workers as you discuss whether Big was good for Carrie or not. Those days are gone. So I've decided that I will adopt 3 shows and really get into them.First up: Gossip Girl. Blatantly the east coast version of The O.C. (a 'regular' boy falls for a messed up rich s...

2007-06-12 16:48:00 Fox's new "Anchorwoman" stumbled through the news in her debut last night on KYXT CBS in Tyler, Texas (market #111). [Video here]Former WWE "Smackdown" bikini model babe Lauren Jones arrived smoothly in a limo and glided inside the ratty studios on a red carpet. The station's spinning general manager was just on Fox News to 'splain hisself. She's been there "eight days." Crash course in journalism, he blabs. Lauren's ambition is to be a REAL anchorbabe... She's out today covering a "story." There's gotta be a groundswell of pissed off and resentful station employees. The GM's downplaying the grumbling.

Done and done
2007-05-25 02:47:00 It's that time again, folks. Show finales. All my shows went out with cliffhangers that'll keep me anxious to see the new season. When The Hubby and I started dating, I pulled him in to watching "Buffy", "Angel", "Smallville" and "Alias." It was a way for us to spend time together. We started watching "Supernatural" and "Bones" together. He doesn't watch "Heroes", but he watches "24". No, that wasn't me. It was his best friend, J. I don't know what season it was, but he soon started talkin' smack about "Smallville" and their "Freak of the Week" episodes. I have to agree, there were a lot of those random-villains-with-special-ab-ilities-due-to-the-meteor-showe-r storylines. The writers must've felt their ears burning on that one and the episodes got better, but The Hubby still talks smack. Out of all of these shows, "Supernatural" is my favorite. Why, you ask? Well, let me give you ten:10) It comes on after "Smallville", so I don't even have to change the channel.9) There's a ...
