Urgh... Thanks the Gods Allison was not involved in BSG !I can see the result from here...

Come on now Al ! The reason why V was so good in the 80s is because it had a Nazi / Cold war undertone that fitted the period.
This isn't going to be something people particularly care nowaday (beside you it seems).This time around it's a Terrorist / 9-11 era with Vs being the terrorist and recruiting...
Then you are talking about how predicable V was... OK well either we get blown up by aliens or they are our friends.... This isn't going to be more original than that. V is playing today on infiltration of the Human population and creating fear. How is that NOT original for you ?
Too many characters ? Are you kidding ? You dont think the original one had that same exact 'problem' ?

Was the pilot rushed ? Maybe ... but we are all blase nowaday and not many things shock us anymore. Building on the moment when the Vs show up in the sky for 2 hours wouldn't have worked. On top of that you seem to have forgotten that ABC basically tried to lkill the show anyway. What did you expect? a LOST-like promotion ?

Funny to see that you are complaining about everything that you found is a problem but never talk about acting.
That is the only sticking point i have with the show. The guy acting as newscaster should be banned from TV...
And what about those people applauding in the street ? that was absolutely ridiculous.

On a side note, i am officially in love with E. Mitchell. She was hot in LOST, she s still rock in V.

This is a ridiculous piece. Did Zap2It's Korbi move to TVSquad ?

Funny how people think that foreclosure is a sad thing. For most people like you and me, it s a tragedy. But for some other, it s a strategic move. You know that some people don't hesitate to walk away from an underwater mortgage because they think that it s not worth paying up for a property that is worth less than what is owned and that would take years to get back to regular prices. All those people want is instant gratification. They just walk away , mail the key to the bank and that s all. And they do it having well enough money to keep paying if they really wanted to. Of course it is totally possible that recession hit the family but it seems a little extreme to go from full on glamorous lifestyle to foreclosed living in an apartment lifestyle. Let's wait but i have a funny feeling about it.

Oh come on Kona ! Swift was completely humiliated on TV in front of everyone ! No matter your feeling for her talent or lack thereof, this was wrong. And i cannot imagine this being staged... Kanye is not THE biggest piece of s**t in the world, but he's pretty much up there.
Now, maybe an idea for another column for you (a more interesting one). First Wilson 'You Lie' during the presidential speech last week, now Kanye... Any thought about what's going on here ? Where is respect ?

I guess the writer will picket tonight then.
At a point you have to stop apologizing.

Cool. Roomate's looking for a job. Hopefully i will b able to offer him a pass... if only to learn something new.

sweet, my harman kardon is dying....

When we apply for a mortgage, WE sign a contract. When we send money to Madoff, WE sign the check. Every decision we are making regarding our finances should be made by ourselves. The contract tells us what to expect from the mortgage we applied for. If it's not clear, there are no rules again making some research or asking around. For Madoff, let's see.. yes he was a celebrity in finances but considering the world is falling apart around us can we assume a fixed return for 20-30 percent is achievable ? If it was, everyone would go for it. Again, we signed the check without trying to think or understand what we are doing or maybe are too lazy to ask. We are living in a country that chews up news, analyze it for us, News anchors are even allowed to give their point of view about it (i am talking to you FOX News). I used to think that people actually choose FOX or CNN by considering their own political affiliation. I was optimistic ! They choosing just because they are too lazy to analyze the news themselve and give away that power to a news outlet they know have the same political views as their own.
This is what happened with CNBC, They are not to blame here, they are doing their job to teach and entertain but it is eventually up to all of us to make the final decision. Mad Money might be pushing the envelop sometime but like thy are saying during the show 'The views are only those from Cramer blah blah. You can loose money using those advices'
Come on now people !
As for John Stewart, he spent most of the interview blaming the big corporation who are playing with our 401K. I haven't herd him talking about people accepting mortgages above their means. Most of us invest in long term, but we also invest in short term: the only reason why people bought those huge house was because they expected a quick return on their investments !
In time of crisis, pointing fingers is always the easy things to do. A hard look at ourselves is what we need today and HUGE celebrities like John Stewart is playing on our laziness. He s playing the defender of the uninformed and he doesn't help by doing it. WE should be the one making decision, We should not be so hypocritical and assume our mistakes and WE should think about what we hear or learn from anyone, people or medias.
Cramer went so far as saying that the guy from Bear Stream was lying and he didn't know about it or that his friend came on the show and lied to him. He s making my point ! Even HE thought some people should be trustworthy and HE didn't bother to check on facts.
This is not the Media's fault. It is ours, we did not understand the system, didn't bother to ask and risk our shirts on it. We lost our shirts, hopefully this will make people smarter to THINK for themselves.

Really ? More shocking than that (hilarious) 'McCain * Palin pin on a Nazi suit' joke ?
This is what makes Family Guy a fun show. Pushing the limits of what's allowed and what's not. To be fair, i noticed recently that the Simpson's themselves were using some racier jokes that i would have expected in Family Guy... ( 'Death Penalty depends on states and races' Homer says) So much for Simpson's creator complaining FG is a ripoff i guess ;-)
Totally agree with you, though,,, People needs to start thinking that cartoons are not ONLY for kids. The PTC should know better. But the problem isn't only from their part. Adults also tend to think that cartoons are for kids and let them watch anything.
This has been a widespread problem specifically with Japanese anime and that has given the whole industry a bad reputation a slow rate of introduction into the US market.

'So some Idols fade away and some – like you, for instance – are still in the public eye years later. What's the secret?'

ARE YOU FRAKKING JOKING ?
HAHAhaha
