Everything entertainment.
That’s what the E! network has stood for since its inception in 1987, when it initially launched as Movie Time (a low-budget station that simply aired old movie trailers). In 1990, the network was renamed to E! Entertainment Television and since that time, the station has revolutionized celebrity coverage, emphasizing the latest gossip, [...]

CTV might as well be named See-TV because if you want to watch anything in Canada, the chances are that CTV has it. The network is clearly the one-stop shop for the latest and greatest in primetime programming.
The network announced its Fall 2007 primetime schedule yesterday at the annual Upfront presentation in Toronto.
After interviewing [...]

As a great man is about to say
I didn’t really think this show was boring. Not a whole lot of drama, but at this point, the choices are pretty obvious and everyone knows the stakes. It’s just a matter of weighing out the choices and making one. No real blind-side possibilities. Besides, despite the [...]

There were some truly historic moments this week

GREAT MOMENTS IN HIDING NO. 12
Mookie: ALEX! ALEX!!! Over here!
Alex: Where are you? I can’t see you.
Mookie: That’s because it’s sneaky-time. I’m hiding. Turn around.
A: Oh, there you are. In plain sight. As usual.
M:Shhhh! We have to talk. But first we hide.
A: Where do you propose [...]

SURVIVOR CHAT w/ BobDawg and Friends
BobDawg: Hey Don, good to have you with us this week!
Don: Thanks porch monkey!
BD:What?
D: I said “Banks! Torch. Spunky!”
BD: Oh. Ok. Anyway, let’s get right to it. I thought this episode was very good. I
D:Wait, I have a joke.
BD: Ok.
D:What do you call the Rutgers women’s basketball team?
BD: [...]

This is a bit of a stretch, but my first thought after seeing Lisi in action in episode 8 was “Are we watching an episode of Peanuts?” Anthony was Charlie Brown, laying on the pitcher’s mound in just his boxers, with his shoes and socks and hat laying all around him after getting flipped over [...]

I think I’m going to try something different this week. I’m going to try to say something nice about someone
Ok. Tried it. That’s not going to work
Rocky
This guy getting sent home was the biggest no-brainer in the history of Survivor. That’s ironic, because he’s the biggest no-brainer in the history of Survivor.
I’ve never [...]

As usual, not a whole lot of strategy to talk about so I’ll just be bashing a few foos…
I was actually going to commend Anthony for finally standing up for himself a little bit.I actually thought his speech was pretty good and I was surprised that it didn’t win any converts (at least from what [...]

As a great man is about to say:

ANTHONY
I was almost expecting this episode to start with Anthony standing on a baseball mound with one of those Charlie Brown style 1-person rain-clouds over his head, pinching his nipples til they bleed, whispering a thousand “Woe Is Me”s. I don’t know if he drank down a Potion [...]

Note – I’m late with this one because I wanted to fill in some blanks and do some actual analysis which I haven’t really done much of over at CBS (mostly just ripping the current cast, the set-up etc.). But I’m at work and can’t get to the stuff I wrote down at home and [...]

“DAWG’S BLOG” – By BobDawg
You probably didn’t know it
But I’m a poet. I’m pretty prolific too. Most people haven’t figured this out yet but my previous blogs are all poems. Epics. And like the ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’, to really understand them, you have to sing them out loud to the Gilligan’s Island theme. [...]

WooWoooo wuzzup Inside Pulse? Let me apologize at the outset. I’ve been swamped lately and wasn’t sure if I’d be writing here or anywhere this season, then all at once everything hit me. You may know that I’m blogging for hte CBS site now. I thought that would put me in handcuffs so I wanted [...]

Preamble:
Hey deh to anyone still reading. Sorry I missed my article last week. Got swamped with a bunch of things and had to leave for Cincinnati for a fundraiser and couldn’t get to this. I actually missed Nate’s exit show anyway. I actually was in a bar in Cincy and only saw parts of last [...]

Like my mommy always said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, attack the way they dress and talk.” That’s what I think was happening with my take on Nate so far. I felt like Kim, Sandra and Dan were doing the heavy lifting on “their” folks and Murtz and [...]
