A Huge Disaster
Last night after playing a little catch-up and watching the second episode of American Idol, this week’s Top Chef (can anyone stop Stephan?), and The Office; I noticed that Dosh Network had uploaded an update onto myDVR. I also noticed that there were something taking up space on there that I was beginning to doubt that I would ever watch.
So there I am, deleting the entire season of...
Ricardo Montalban dies at 88 (1920 - 2009)
As a child I loved Fantasy Island. I really did. Maybe it was Hervé Villechaize shouting “de plane, de plane,” the awesome location, or maybe it was the fact that it was kind of a grown up show that I was allowed to watch. I’ve always thought that if there was one show that should be re-made it should be Fantasy Island. Obviously I wasn’t alone because in 1998 it was...
American Idol Last Night
The first episode on American Idol was on last night and I have to say it was about what I expected. There were some great singers and of course there were some awful singers.
There were two contestants last night that really worried me. The first was Katrina Darrell, she showed up in about the tiniest swimsuit possible and despite not being great, she made it through to Hollywood. Simon and...
Only 20 Hours Left
I’ve really enjoyed the first 4 hours of 24. There have already been a few twists and turns I didn’t see coming (I won’t mention them here in case someone hasn’t watched it yet), and I”m sure that there is a bigger threat on the horizon for Jack, I mean after all isn’t there always?
There are a few additions of actors I’ve really enjoyed performances...

I hate to go all negative here, but let’s face facts. If there is going to be a “Best of…” there has to be a “Worst of…”
The Worst of Television- 2008
Kath and Kim- I wanted this show to be good. Hell I wanted this show to be great. NBC had been marketing it as hard as I’ve ever seen them push a show. The 30 second clips that they would show...

Joe on the Tube's Best of 2008
This is going to be a long one folks. Most of these lists come right before the end of the year, but I was out of town so you are getting it 9 days in. I’ve scoured the internet, my DVR, your DVR, and your mother’s DVR and I’ve found what in my opinion are the best and worst shows and moments from television in 2008. Today’s post will focus on the Best of TV (the worst...

January will be a good TV Month, Update
In the 10 months I’ve been writing this blog I’ve never had to go back and completely re-write a post, I’ve made some edits here and there, but never a full re-write. Well I guess there is a first time for everything. Back in November I wrote a post entitled: “January will be a good month for TV,” in which I listed all of the great shows that were starting in...
