Bravo debuts first original series in HD tonight
Ending the long, arduous wait, Bravo HD delivers its first original series shot in high definition tonight with Shear Genius. Focused on the "competitive and creative" world of high end hairstyling, tonight's debut episode starts with 12 contestants hitting L.A. with the challenge of cutting hair blindfolded, and interpreting the hairstyles of cartoon characters. Sponsored by Nexxus (coincidentally also the official salon hair care of choice of the Engadget squad) the race for $100,000 and an apprenticeship starts tonight at 10 p.m.[Via TV Squad]
Second Life ranked 8th Most Effective Placement on TV in 2007
According to hollywoodreporter.com, Second Life enjoys the 8th Most Effective Placement on TV this year, behind Nexxus on the show 'Shear Genius', and in front of Visa on the show 'What Not to Wear'. Interestingly, according to the graphic, this is the public's response to SL's appearance on The Office, even though said appearance was virtually 1% of the entire content of the show, as opposed to the CSI: NY episode, in which SL is the subject of the plot.Now, what this means to you and me is probably not a whole lot. As I understand it, this measures how the product is perceived by John Q. Public, and in this case, being on The Office means that SL has gained some respect by merely rubbing shoulders with that popular sitcom. Perhaps if Fury had been able to swing a mention ... nah, some things you just can't save. [Thanks, Neptune!]
