(In this entry, "Survivor" and "The O.C.") Terry, Terry, Terry. I want to like you, I want to root for you, I want to do a Photoshop collage of you and Tom Westman, but you're making it awfully hard. First there was your

(It occurs to me that, since we all watch TV on our own schedules these days, I should say up-front what shows I'll be talking about so people who are saving that Very Special Episode of "According to Jim" won't have it spoiled for

... we're three days from "The Sopranos" premiere. My review ran today, but as you'll see from this excerpt, I had to do some fancy tap-dancing with it, so there will be another review on Monday where I discuss the episode in greater detail. Excerpting.
American Idol
Hey, did you know I've been watching a lot of "Sopranos" lately? Wasn't sure if I'd mentioned it enough or not. Anyway, last night's viewing was 100% moozadell-free. First, I zipped through the two "American Idol" performance shows
Battlestar Galactica
So the big event of my weekend, other than the end of my "Sopranos" death march, was going to be hitting the first major comic book convention in New York in about 15 years. (Say it with me: Alan's a big fat dork.) Long story short,

Was that, or was that not, the greatest Immunity Challenge in "Survivor" history last night? Full-contact, free-for-all, big mama Cirie sitting on people, Danielle and her implants spilling out of her bikini top about 17 times, Ruth Marie not understanding how to run... it was beautiful. Between this,
Arrested Development
Forgot to do the column link yesterday, so a two-fer: today, I write about the "Arrested Development" two-hour finale (I've seen the first 90 minutes, and the first episode is by far the best), and yesterday I did a mailbag dealing with the done-in-one fate of

Still working on the sports movie post (it's an obsession of mine, and I want to do it right), but in the meantime, some brief thoughts on the "Survivor: Guatemala" finale: * I couldn't be happier that Danni won, not only because she seemed like

If the blog's seemed like a ghost town the last few days, it's because I've been hip-deep in toddler triage, which involve such lovely Catch-22s as my daughter refusing to drink anything at all because she doesn't feel well, even though fluids

I had expected the long-awaited Letterman/Oprah interview to be the highlight of Thursday night TV, but like so many things, it failed to live up to the hype. Dave went into the fawning mode he usually saves for beautiful young starlets, and even Oprah seemed shocked by what a

I know, I know, I know... the four of you who actually read this blog have all been complaining about the tardiness of the latest entry, so I'll try to tackle Wednesday through the weekend (or what I've seen of it) as quick as I can.
South Park
Going in reverse chronological order of when I watched things from the last couple of days: "The O.C.": Okay, I think I'm going to need some kind of flow chart to keep track of all the flirting and soulful looks going on between the regular
