[As part of Cultural Learnings' Jericho Fridays, I think that it is necessary to perhaps be able to state certain things that might not be seen as "positive" or popular. I, admittedly, began this campaign by pouring salt in the wound of Jericho fans, and while I have since been inspired to drop this position [...]

How ‘The Office’ Spent Its Summer Vacation
This YouTube video is spreading across entertainment blogs as I type…actually, it spread a lot earlier. But, to join the bandwagon in spreading a genuinely funny piece of entertainment, here’s The Office’s Summer Vacation. After the jump, I’ll discuss the video’s contents from a “What does this tell us about Season Four?” perspective.

Canadian Idol – August 28th – The Top 4 Results Show
After three straight missed shows thanks to job training, I’m finally back to being able to watch tonight’s episode of Canadian Idol. However, thanks to said training, I got back only to find that the recap was already done, so I’m still fairly in the dark regarding what occurred on last night’s show except for [...]

Entourage – “No Cannes Do”
You know, outside of an extremely lazy episode title, last night’s episode of Entourage was actually quite good…okay, that was kind of a lie, I’m ambivalent towards the episode as a whole. But KANYE was there. I’m biased towards Mr. West, and perhaps I’m biased against Entourage recently.
The episode had some decent plot progression, but [...]

A Lost Ranger: Jericho Fans Mourn the Loss of GaTravelGal
Amongst tight-knit internet communities, the real identities of the people involved are often shrouded by the user names or avatars that they use to identify themselves. And yet, within certain communities, the passing of one of their members does not go unnoticed. You hear stories regarding funerals in World of Warcraft, and I’m sure the [...]

A Wish List: What Jericho Fans Hope For from CBS’ ‘Fan Central’
[Over the past week, Jericho fans have expressed their hopes for CBS' Fan Central website. Through email and through the Jericho message boards, the very people the page was designed for have made it clear that it needs a little work...but they're more than willing to help out with some suggestions. The following is their [...]

Pondering the Return of ‘American Gladiators’
I don’t know about you, but I had a morbid fascination with American Gladiators as a kid. There was something about the over-muscled gladiators, the athletically minded contestants, and feats of agility and the studio-lit environment that was just really interesting to me. It’s one of those shows that, if I came across a rerun, [...]

Why Viewers Need to Give CBS’ ‘Kid Nation’ a Fair Shot
CBS’ fall lineup certainly has its problems, but one of its show has been forced to deal with a large portion of the media blitzkrieg. Kid Nation was conceived to draw some level of controversy: placing forty kids into a ghost town on their own is never going to be seen as anything less than [...]
