The first hint I ever had that the funny things people said on TV were actually written by someone besides the actors was from watching M*A*S*H. This was a big deal for a 11-year-old. Hawkeye: Looks like a pregnant bagpipe. Trapper: Do bagpipes get pregnant? Hawkeye: Sure they do, right after they make those funny [...]

Read MoreI've got two Dollhouse DVD sets to give away, one for the winner voted on by you people, and one pulled at random from all the entries. Why would you hire a doll? The winner by vote is Mike Mueller, for "Because I have a perfectly good see-saw that's just sitting there. It's just sad." [...]
Read MoreI'm extending the deadline for the Dollhouse Season One DVD contest so that you can vote for one of the winners until 9 p.m. EST tomorrow night (Wednesday, July 22), because I screwed up.

Read MoreThe BBC has released the first picture of Matt Smith as the new Doctor, and I'm getting weird "Crossfire" flashbacks. The newly reincarnated Doctor's new look will consist of "tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots." OK, fair enough I suppose. Still a bit odd, very British, and slightly apart from humanity. [...]

Read MoreNot really a geek topic – although his impassioned "Go baby, go" during the Apollo launch still warms my geek heart. But Walter Cronkite was a public figure unlike many others. He was what people wanted to be, for his generation. Honorable, intelligent, caring, trustworthy. At one time, his audience was so large, and his [...]
Read MoreI missed this when it came out, but thetorchonline.com got Brian Fuller to spill some of the season three secrets last month. Pushing Daisies, which was canceled and closed with a somewhat hurried wrap-up of many (but not all) of the dangling plot threads, had plenty of places to go: We knew when we were [...]
