Clearly there is more to this story than just a pervy Ronald McDonald…for instance, why in the world is a man carrying around nude pictures of his wife on his unlocked cell phone?

Ricky Gervais Visiting NBC's Office? →
ajamison:
Gervais even has an idea for how he could appear: as himself, playing struggling actor Andy Melman on HBO’s Extras. “I’d quite like them to maybe be watching an episode of Extras, and Michael Scott comes along and goes, ‘This guy is no good. If they ever do a remake, I think I should do that part.”
This would be epic!

So as hard as I tried to stick it out, I’ve kind of given up on Heroes. After such a promising season premiere, I’ve just become bored with it. Last week I didn’t watch it because I wasn’t in the mood, but this week I have abolsutely no desire to be presented with more unaswered questions.
This is the biggest problem with this show. Unlike Lost which presents new questions, but...

He will be the first president to post videos of his weekly fireside coffee talks on YouTube in addition to the traditional radio format, which goes back to FDR, who used the medium to directly address the nation as he...

Things that piss me off #2

When shows you’ve been dying to see all week are pre-empted.
I’m looking at you ABC with this About a Boy tomfoolery instead of Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money.
Are you serious? Dirty Sexy Money is pre-empted tonight? Crud.
It’s not getting great ratings, but I’m sure it would do better than a several-year-old movie…
